pokemonlover360 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 It's no problem. If life is keeping you busy, that's fine.On one hand, I'm kind of enjoying being known for having a character that everybody knows as the character that nobody remembers. I am pokemonlover360, master of hardly ever posting. You might know me from the many posts that I haven't made. I'm around. If you really need me and I haven't responded quickly, send me a pm.

Axilus Prime Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I remember that char. Forgot his name though. Barricade thought he was mocking him and kept on trying to beat the slag out of him.I find it odd how some people take pride in few posts.

Axilus Prime Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Your large post count is epic and I see why you take pride in it. Your one line posts, not so much.In other words, what you said is absolutely right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- JL - Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Well, I would take pride if I can end a fight in a 1 line post - it shows my awesome RP skills.Also, I've realized that fights in this RPG is less about beating up an enemy or putting him into shackles, and more about forcing them into a position where them being able to return fire/do something is immediately a GM.That's probably why Tamaru died.

Axilus Prime Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) Huh. In my RPG fights, I adopted a new style since the old one always invariably turned to the biggest moddy moddiness ever in the history of modding.Now, I aim to win over a long period of time with careful moves, but keep myself detached from the outcome of the fight, yet avoid lethal hits unless I want the char to die. Taking hits that are realistically impossible to dodge, if they are non-fatal, however, is something I try to make sure to do. That's the hard part, but it works, usually.My old style, if anyone was wondering, was give out a load of hits, take many hits and therefore expect the opponent RPer to do the same, but making my hits heavy-handed, and try to win within six posts. Not a good idea.Though one consistent thing in both styles was never aim for an OOC goal such as making them have to GM. Instead, simply aim to whack the other guy.

Ghosthands Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Personally, I'm one for a nice mix. Mysterious, plot-twisting story with a noble hero, awesome villains, a nice bit of emotional struggle and of course a fair bit of action. Add explosions were applicable.

25K Now! Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I just like cheery, relaxing and amusing tales.Are there any plots revolving around that here? http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axilus Prime Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Yes, an epic battle is important, only a few movies can pull off awesomeness without one. (Holes, for example.)But in an RPG, the epicness of the battle may or may not come. If both players enter for the purpose of epicness (Optimus vs. Megatron in Ko.) it's almost guaranteed, but a standard random fight tends to be a curb-stomp or drawn out and annoying.

Axilus Prime Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 It kind of increases the weight and effort of the whole thing.I said a few movies can pull off sheer awesomeness without an epic battle. I didn't say next to none. I've seen like 20 or so do it. (Not that I've seen every awesome movie there is out there, of course.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25K Now! Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 An epic battle is basically: "Hey look! We got some people duking it out in a large scale fashion!" It needs no sophistication. No planning. Just, beat up each other. The definition of 'epic' is large-scale. Not, awe-inspiring as most people seem to associate it with.Citizen Kane is an awesome movie. There are no battles. That is all.Anyway, back on topic. Legion, do we have an updated list of Mark Bearers? http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosthands Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I think it depends on the genre. Fantasy and sci-fi movies normally include at least one huge battle, but they don't need one to be awesome.On the other hand, movies set in the real world can be just as awesome without any need for battle or action.Of course, both of the aforementioned types have their fair share of trash too :PBut we're going off-topic here. So, who else is excited about the denouement of the Mark Bearer plot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- JL - Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Yeah, what GH said.I feel like something with just talk needs to be in a just-talk situation.I mean, Transformers: Dotm had epic battles, but the story was supreme ****.Oh, and MB plot? I just want to see its finale quick. Merror and his Toa team are sitting outside the temple, right?
