[OOC] Dragon Ball: Universe Zero

[FalloutJack]

I noticed it happening before now, so I just wanted to be sure here.

@FalloutJack@Darkmoon Angel
Nice posts. I'll respond in the morning

[Balthazar007]

Okay everyone, @Darkmoon Angel@BladeSS4@FalloutJack,

I am going to make another adjustment, which I think will improve the way battles go drastically. Honestly, I don't know why I hadn't been doing it this way the whole time...

So, instead of your Power Level decreasing in correlational with your health decreasing, and instead of exhaustion effecting your health. Exhaustion now only effects your Power Level, not your Health, and this is the only way your Power Level decreases.

This should make you keep a closer eye on your Power Levels and Health won't drop so quickly. This also means that your characters now have two ways to loose. If either your Health or Power Level hits zero, your character will be unable to fight. Health hitting zero equals being knocked out. Power Levels hitting zero equal passing out due to fatigue. Either way, the end result is somewhat the same.

Edit: Power level hitting zero triumphs over health hitting zero. Meaning, if you use all your power but have health left, you will win the match if you lowered your opponent's health to zero. You will then promptly faint. If both fighter's hit zero health, whoever has a greater negative health looses. If both fighter's have health but hit zero Power, whoever has a greater negative Power Level (again) looses.

Also you two @FalloutJack@Darkmoon Angel,

Just like in a real life fight, there are no "taking turns". Just because Angela struck first to start the fight, doesn't mean that Niko can't be the first one to initiate this next fight. Whoever posts next, posts next; it's that simple.

Also, for future matches where I control a character, I'll keep my results post separate from my attacking posts. And I'll wait at least 24 hours between making a reaction post and an attacking post.

This also adds another level of depth to the fights. Making the first move means that your opponent gets to see your intentions first. BUT going first also means you might get the "slow reaction time" boost, if the other person doesn't reply quick enough.

[FalloutJack]

Oooh, an irrestable force and an immovable object... Shall the universe move instead?

[Balthazar007]

Dang @Darkmoon Angel! You had the RNG gods on your side that time. You rolled a 68 out of 70 for that attack!

[FalloutJack]

@Darkmoon Angel If you want to go first this time (like if you're ready to right now), I'll wait this time.

[Darkmoon Angel]

Wow... I'm never that lucky irl. Lol.

[FalloutJack]

Somebody - everybody - make sure I'm doing that right.

[Darkmoon Angel]

It is... Not looking good for Angela...

[FalloutJack]

Well, think of it this way: If it doesn't work out for Niko, he might have nothing left.

[Balthazar007]

Somebody - everybody - make sure I'm doing that right.

@FalloutJack

You did that correctly. Now let's see what happens.

[Balthazar007]

@Darkmoon Angel
The RNG gods favored you today it seems. You rolled a 43 out of 50 for your attack, just enough to defeat Niko.

@FalloutJack
Unfortunately, you only rolled a 4 out of 75, but of course, I used 37 instead. Still, even though you dealt more damage in that one clash. Niko didn't have enough health left to continue.

Niko's eyes will stay closed just long enough for Angela to rise to her feet and claim victory. At which point, he can regain consciousness and open his eyes (maybe even talk a little through bloody teeth), but he won't really be able to move.

Alright everyone, @BladeSS4 included. After you all make your reactionary posts. I will move forward to start the last match of the tournament!!!

[FalloutJack]

Awww...

Oh well.

I'll get you NEXT TIME, GADGET!

NEXT TIME!!!

*Flies off into the sunset with a cat meowing in the background*

[Balthazar007]

I'll make my post in the morning to start this match. I'm too tired tonight.

[Balthazar007]

Alright, post has been made. Whoever wants to go first may go ahead and do so! Good luck to the both of you!

[Balthazar007]

@Darkmoon Angel, I guess that means your up next.

@BladeSS4, was that post an elaborate post. Maybe said his name too many times, but otherwise enjoyable. It felt like an old school,"Last Time On Dragon Ball Z" moment! 😆 👍

Good luck to you both. May the RNG gods shine bright for everyone!

P.S. I'm excited we're this close to the next phase of this story.

[FalloutJack]

@Balthazar007 No, we just started the episode, dammit! Recaps are over!

@Balthazar007 Hello, there.



But in all seriousness, are you perhaps still accepting players by chance?

[Balthazar007]

@Balthazar007 No, we just started the episode, dammit! Recaps are over!

@FalloutJack

Lol. I agree. But now the battle begins...
