Hmmmm..... I assume FD took some design notes from the "Guymelefs" that appeared in the anime movie/series Escaflowne?
(There's plenty of liquid metal flying around through slightly similar-looking nozzles in the TV version, and the movie version requires a contant blood-source)

Especially this one:
www.anime.net/escaflowne/...index.html

and especially note the pictures at the bottom of this page:
www.escaflowneonline.com/...ides.shtml

Nice "upgrading" of the basic design thou...

Hmmm... A deviantart account, and nothing inside :(

I don't want to sound nit-picky, but I think that Namagomi spent a few more points than he has on his weapons. Each of his sub-weapons costs 1, and I don't see how that can make much sense since I could, in theory, so long as I have a powerful enough main weapon, load my mech down with sub-weapons of equal power for one point. Isn't it 1 point per required rank?

by **NamagomiMk0** » Sun Oct 03, 2004 2:35 am

Actually, it's 1 point if it's below rank, and 2 if it's equal, or so I was told by Shaun, Nev. ChibiUrusai: *chomps* I am underage. ^-^

That makes no sense. That means that I could have 1 rank five weapon and five rank four weapons for exactly the same cost as having one rank five weapon and five rank one weapons. [---------------------------]

by **NamagomiMk0** » Sun Oct 03, 2004 3:42 pm

There are a few reasons why that is not so important, Nev.
Additionally, another point is that while one may have a lot of weapons, there is such a thing as "too many". First off, sheets are up to GM discretion anyway, so it doesn't matter if you do or not. Secondly, you act as if having five million special attacks will do something, when you can instead have a smaller number of attacks that do the same general job. Third is an issue of aesthetics here, in that things can become cluttered very quickly, design-wise, with all the different attacks. DBZ characters are an obvious example of such here--what is the point to numerous attacks that do the same thing? There isn't. Fifth, even SINGLE points are valuable in this system, as you can tell. A single point can equate to something becoming much better--an extra attribute level, for example, or maybe that extra rank of Jumping or Speed. Pigging out on an assload of different specials without a reason means you are only shortchanging yourself in other departments. Sixth, when it comes to anime styling, the other specials could also represent usable variants of existing attacks, if one so desires that. So it is not really worth it arguing about point costs.

If you still have issues, think about it this way, then: The 4/rank is to purchase the maximum level you can use, alongside one free attack. The 2-point extra is for specials at the same general power, and 1-point extra is for specials below that maximum. It really isn't much of an issue, though. ChibiUrusai: *chomps* I am underage. ^-^

OK! This Saturday, I've discovered that starting at fairly early in the morning, I must go do...stuff...concerning preparing for my brother's wedding. Honestly, I don't know what it is, or how long it will take. So! What's the absolute latest that this shindig will be able to start this week?

Okay, so it has come to My attention that due to Things and Stuff, There will be no RP on tomorrow (Nov 6th). We apologize for this inconvenience and hope that your boredom may be stung by a thousand alien killer bees in the meantime. Or something like that.

Ok. While it's all well and good that it happens on Saturdays and I can generally schedule stuff around it, that's the thing. I still have stuff to do on Saturdays. I can schedule the stuff I have to do AROUND the RP, but we need a definite start time (within about half an hour or so), and a semi-definite end time (within an hour and a half or so), cause I really can't keep doing the "get online and we'll RP when everyone else is online thing". It holds up progress of other things throughout the day, and it irritates people around me that I can't give them a definite time that I'm available.

On a similar note, it would probably be better with less enormous pauses. If there happened to be a scheduled time, would everyone else be able to let everyone know so that they don't keep getting drawn away from the computer?

Hm...

I say Two EST is a better time. Noon EST is when I'd be taking my siesta. :(

by **FlamingDeth** » Wed Nov 24, 2004 6:38 am

The primary problem with that is that is that it's 10am my time. Which means that it'd go on till anywhere from 2pm to 4pm, my time. Which is the exact center of the day, when it's actually light outside. Which is when I can actually go outside and do stuff, such as shoveling, and disposal of ice, so that the people that bring me mail and newspapers don't slip and fall and hurt themselves and sue me for more money than I have. :(

Precisely- So you can finish it and go shovel your ice.

Okay, this timing issue is very important to all of us, so I suppose we should get it settled now. First off, assuming that the RP ends in 4-5 hours, when on Saturday would be best for you all to start future sessions of RP?

Oh, and technically Doug is right, but it doesn't HAVE to be that way. *shrugs*

by **NamagomiMk0** » Sun Nov 28, 2004 4:03 pm

12-3 EST, assuming nothing gets in the way. I'm willing to go all the way to 7 and later, though, for starting. ChibiUrusai: *chomps* I am underage. ^-^

It means FD won't have any internet this Saturday.

Which means the RP is probably going to be put off for another week.

From now on, if there is only one RPer , he or she shall be NPCed.

This will be revised as the RP actually MOVES.

I would also like to tell you not to assume that the RP is not going to happen until we say so.

Thank you.

by **Nakibe** » Tue Dec 21, 2004 6:42 pm

Okay, perhaps this is a bit late in the week (Maybe more than a bit), but I'm wondering if ANY of you even have the time within the next few days to actually do another piece of the RP? To be honest I'm not planning on it and it's not an especially big thing, but since the topic has come up, it's worth asking.

Obviously I don't see it happening anytime Saturday, considering Christmas and all. Not to mention that I'll be spending that day fighting off my relatives in my own home, thus being on the computer (and inviting its destruction) won't work.
