Joining up with TS, that means old friends, new enemies. interesting possibilities there.

Edit: also, Kirby's quest for hats (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109292) could sort of be counted as a backstory for both Grlump and Rae, seeing as they are both part of the main party and are (I'm just assuming this for Grlump, but it's entirely possible) the same characters, even though it was created prior to both of us joining ABR. I do plan on continuing updates again at some point, so it's just on hiatus for now.

Also edit. First time posting on the first page of a discussion thread, I think this means I'm officially "in".

I really wish i knew what it was called when you respond to sarcasm as if you don't realize it's sarcasm. Because if i did i could hold up a sign :smallfrown::smallannoyed:

Right Kumo. You have your jumping off point. Now go! Go and comic!

[V'icternus]

It's called "double sarcasm", and it doesn't work without one of these " :smalltongue: ", because the internet is a strange place, filled with monotone and stupid, stupid people. So when you pretend to be ignorant, you have to be really, really obvious about it.

[X2]

Some fun facts about Dylan Stryder for anyone writing a comic about him (*cough* Kumo *cough*).

- His real name is not Dylan Stryder, but Stewart Fogelman. Because no rock star is called Stewart Fogelman he of course uses a stage name. He has been known to physcially hurt anyone who refers to him by his real name.

- He secretly has very low self esteem. He hides it with his outbursts of anger. His entire life as a musician has been an attempt to make him feel better about himself. But it hasn't worked. He doesn't like his music all that much (though he'd never admit it). His self loathing stems from an incident he had as a child when he accidentally set fire to his parents living room carpet and got scalded for it. All he really wants is a hug from mom and dad but he'd never say so.

- He's an enviromentalist.

- And an alcoholic.

I'm about 2/3rds of the way done with the comic where he hears about Stryder.

And im sleepy so i'll finish it tomorrow. G'night.

I like the idea of KQFH being Grlump's Backstory :D

Edit: I'm going on holiday this afternoon for a week, so may not have much chance to produce a comic for a week, so I don't mind how Grlump joins up with TS (If, of course, I'm acepted) and I'll leave it up to you guys if yo uwant. Will be interested in seeing the outcomes.

Some character traits that could be useful:
- Grlump likes food
- Normally quite a silent character
- Basic character here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109292)

Mostly random FFF:r questions.

The baddies are on what may or may not be a goose chase after the green key. Is team good going to find out about this as well, or is Salmon going to have one of his "visions" and then the group will move in a different direction towards X key?

Also, which team good characters are not going back on the airship?

and what the hell is the point of this post in the art thread?

That's a great one. Thanks for the share...

[X2]

Unless someone wants rhythm guitar the band (now named Dylan and the Keys) will be as follows.


Lead Vocals/Rhythm Guitar: Dylan Stryder
Lead Guitar: Felyndiira
Bass/Backup Vocals: Kumo
Drums: Keveak

[Threeshades]

FFFR. Takes place several months prior to the current one. It's an origins comic you see.

Meet Dylan Stryder!

Isn't he a doll?

Wow, I certainly already hate him. :smallsmile:

I'm glad not to have suggested Roka for his band.

Also, which team good characters are not going back on the airship?

All the questions regarding team good may be a little hard to answer, as it appears that not a lot of the members of team good are really all that active.

It seems that the plot may be following the bad guys for a little while. At least until a member of the good team makes more comics.

[Threeshades]

FFFR. Takes place a few seconds before and several hours after X2's comic ends.

maybe you should switch to completely opaque speech balloons, especially in wordy comics, they are more pleasant to read.

[Kumo]

maybe you should switch to completely opaque speech balloons, especially in wordy comics, they are more pleasant to read.

I have them that way for two reasons.

One: I like them that way. Just seems more like sound to me.

Two: for when i make comics that have lots of scenery or people. Covering stuff up really ticks me off.

I could change the opaqueness from 50 to 75 or 80, maybe... lemme go see how it would look.

(im honestly more annoyed with the way his arms turned out... in some of the shots his cloak doesn't cover his arm and when he turns his head around it looks like his shoulder is where his neck should be)

EDIT: Yuuup. Definitely 80.

[Threeshades]

Two: for when i make comics that have lots of scenery or people. Covering stuff up really ticks me off.

For that most comicmakers learn how to layout speech balloons so they dont obstruct anything important.
I think turning up the opacity wuld be a good start, the way they are right now, is just making the speech balloons harder to spot and makes reading them feel rather tedious. Also they look kind of unimportant that way, like a bunch of side notes.

[X2]

http://visboo.com/img/21052010/21851.jpg

That picture is so awesome Im dropping everything to make an OotS version of it.

[kpenguin]

Perhaps you should try an alternative to speech bubbles, Kumo. Maybe add captions below your panels so that you have an unobstructed view of the entire panel while still conveying what is said.

[Emperor Ing]

Easiest thing to do is to make panels bigger and characters smaller. It also looks like you could use a smaller font.

[Kumo]

Thanks anyway but I'll make my comics the way i want to :smallannoyed:

You are not allowed to make comics however you want to. Your comics must please the general ABR consensus board, or we shall come to your house and put a penguin on your head. You have been warned :smallbiggrin:.

We need a project to keep our little family together. Perhaps, a comic that we could all work on. A collaborative comic perhaps, using our avatars... and lots of fights. An "Avatar Battle Royale" if you will.

Hmm...

[Green-Shirt Q]

I was going to make a comic yesterday, but I didn't get the chance to. Yesterday was my father's birthday.

I shall make one today. If anybody's commited to bringing ABR back to life, it's me. I've even said a while back, X2, that I've put all my other projects on hold just to keep making a bunch of ABR comics. ABR WILL see life again!

On another note, my Nintendo DS sadly passed away yesterday with zero hope for recovery. Pity me. :smallfrown:

I'd doodle something but unfortunately I'm to lazy-dazy to switch to a computer that has Inkscape before I have to, which would be around Sunday.

Well, lazy and a tad busy with family stuff and FFRPGs, but that would be pidtin excuses that I am not making. Nope, no excuses here >.> <.< :smalltongue:

[Lyinginbedmon]

[EDIT] I'm confused. Would it be "brake into my own apartment" or "break my own apartment". Neither of those sound right to me for some reason, and I'm confused. I guess it dosen't really matter too much. You know what I'm trying to say.

It would be Break in this instance, as in to damage or destroy, as opposed to Brake, as in to cause cessation of or otherwise halt.

[Kumo]

X, will you make the next one, or should I?

I'm not sure what Dylan would say and I've already told you what Kumo would probably do :smallconfused:

Considering that the comic won't be a Burlewian sticky-stick figure style if I ever get started on it, I couldn't have made it in two days without breaking the laws of space-time.

Not that I wouldn't do that, it's just that I haven't acquired the Pluty-Plutonium, stringy-string and snazzy hat to do it yet :smalltongue:

Hey Q, you are aware that Grlump is a gnome, right?

[Green-Shirt Q]

Hey Q, you are aware that Grlump is a gnome, right?

I was not aware of said situation.

I couldn't find any reference to his race looking through the discussion threads. I realize that I probably could've checked Kirby's Quest For Hats, since I remember hearing that the two characters are the same. I didn't think of it at the time.

I just thought dwarf because of the beard, the battleaxe, and the brown clothing. Those are typically associated with dwarfs, don't you think? So I guess Q made the same mistake as I did. He himself knew he was too fast to be a dwarf, so I guess it all works out. :smallwink::smalltongue:

Burlewian

Leave it to ABR to make a stick figure art style sound Elitist. :smallsigh:

[Lyinginbedmon]

Pretty sure "Burlewan" has been around for a while, just means an art style significantly influenced by the work of Rich Burlew.

That doesn't mean it doesn't sound elitist.

Hey Grlump! You're back! That's great! :smallsmile:

Feel free to make comics for this epic one-on-one fight, if you like. I didn't really have your character talk, because I didn't know what he would say, and I only made him use his axe because I didn't know anything about him (I even thought he was a dwarf! :smalltongue:) so if you want to make a comic showcasing his true fighting abilities and personality, go right ahead.

Let the fight begin keep going, Q!

Alright! Let's do this! :smallamused:

*goes to make comic*

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Comic
That is a very bad idea. And I would not recommend following through on that plan.

Maybe Tiff hasn't disappeared?
I'm always here, I just don't bother posting anymore.

I somehow feel that it may not be. Call it a hunch. :smalltongue:

Are you getting married, or is that a rude hand gesture?

I have to admit, when I first saw the picture, I thought the latter. I hope that doesn't say anything bad about me. :smalleek:

Ooh shiny O_C*

Hmm, a ring means you are either getting engaged, joining a secret society or sending a cryptic message...

And since the proper response to all of those is "congrats" then I don't have to actually try to understand human society and can just pretend I know what you mean.

You didn't read that.

Congrats! :smallbiggrin:

Grr Twitpic, grrrr

I, too, am assuming congrats are in order.

Congrats :smallsmile:

Is it just me, or was ABR more active before I was a part of it?

EDIT: Grrr, Grlump now TRUE barbarian :D

[Green-Shirt Q]

Is it just me, or was ABR more active before I was a part of it?

EDIT: Grrr, Grlump now TRUE barbarian :D

It's not just you. ABR has been a lot slower for a while now. It's picking UP since you joined. :smallsmile:

Hopefully, with more people like you, ABR may return to it's former glory.

I'm going to make another comic now. :smallamused:

[EDIT] Nice avatar, by the way. :smallbiggrin:

[Mad Mask]

ABR is generally less active in summer. Though these past few months have been quieter than usual...

I'll try to restart FI this week, maybe that's going to help a little.

Well don't wait for Q and myself to finish the fight, go right ahead with FFFR plot (if you like)

[Fay Graydon]

Hmmm I'm gunna get around to making a comic either tomorrow or the day after.
But as I'm not at home I can't do it today.

:smalleek:

*Puts on his best dramatic Hollywood movie voice*

What...

*Pauses dramatically for a very long time*

...have we done?

Q. Comic? Awesome! Funny!

Q. Comic? Weird. Scary.

but not bad. funny in its own way.

OOH OOH OOH, can I be the guest in the next comic?/hyperactive child
Re-hides, will hopefully get off his lazy ass tomorrow.

[kpenguin]

ABR is generally less active in summer.

The Summer of '07 disagrees with you. It was, after all, the summer ABR started and very busy.

[V'icternus]

Maybe, but only old grandads of ABR remember that.

[kpenguin]

Maybe, but only old grandads of ABR remember that.

Get off my lawn, wippersnapper.

[V'icternus]

*Spraypaints your lawn with stick-figure art*

Never!

...In other, more relevant, less stupid news, ABR's actually pretty active right now.

Comparitively.

[Mina Kobold]

Maybe, but only old grandads of ABR remember that.

And those of us who read the first thread before joining, we kinda remember it too.

On another note:


Here's something my insane mind concocted! A non-canon comic. A bit of an opposite to a random kill, should we say. :smallamused::smallbiggrin:
A Date With The Q #1
http://i28.tinypic.com/11rf1jm.png

Does this mean Q is bi? Certainly puts his rivalry with Igon in a whole new perspective... :smallamused::smalltongue:

[Green-Shirt Q]

Does this mean Q is bi? Certainly puts his rivalry with Igon in a whole new perspective... :smallamused::smalltongue:

Oh, Q's rivalry with Lying was ALWAYS in that perspective. Which is partially why he's doing this now that Lying is engaged (married?). He's trying to fill the void! :smalltongue: :smallbiggrin:

But seriously. Q is pretty straight in the canon comics, though has more tolerance for men than usual. It's just sorta played up in these non-canon comics. Q is bi on A Date With The Q, which everybody will be seeing more of. :smallwink:

[X2]

Oh man if I was writing these I would have a great X2 and Q date written. But i'll leave it up to the maestro.

[CrimsonAngel]

Oh Q, I felt bad for laughing at your comic but I did. :smallamused:

[Mina Kobold]

What time is it? Why, it's time for another installment of A Date With The Q!

Warning: Blajiba, bibba bubba, Fasola, Kentucky Blajiba

A Date With The Q #2: Mad Mask.

If this scars anyone, I deeply apologize. :smallfrown: If it doesn't, I'm not doing my job properly! :smallamused::smalltongue:

I'm so glad I'm represented by something that can't be drugged :smalleek:

Kobolds can eat or drink anything without side effects, including Shadejuice! It only contain 1 ml blood from a creature you probably didn't know had blood and a healthy dose of something green we foud in the dungeon next to the mutilated corpses that we had absolutey nothing to do with! :smalltongue:

Posting a picture of your avatar killing someone else's is the original form of ABR, though these days we have two storylines, which are essentially collaborative webcomics that anyone can join and make a strip, though it's polite to read the archives* before doing anything.

The entire archives? :smalleek:

[Lord Raziere]

The entire archives? :smalleek:

I read that in like in four or five days.

but they are only mostly talking about Future Imperfect Archives or the FFF Reboot archives, don't pay attention to the original Fat Fish Fury, unless you like to think your macho like me and read 2000 comics.

[Fay Graydon]

I read the first 500 and the latest 500 when I joined.
Really all you need to do is read the 3FR archive and work out a decent character with a clear motive for joining plot and not just a case of
"I R HAV WANT KEYS TO BE SUPRE MAN POWRED AND TACKE WORLD OVER!"
If every character wanted that then it would be pointless.

Oh god... These Q romance comics are terrible! D=

[Mad Mask]

EDIT: And Mask, if you want this comic taken down, I understand completely.

The only thing that's a little off is that you haven't captured my personality. It may not seem obvious, but I am really a very jolly person and I rarely, if ever, get annoyed or angry at anything. However I can accept a grumpy Mad Mask if it makes for better comedy. The thing about the roofies was hilarious! :smallbiggrin:

Though a Mad Mask who answers Q's obviously offensive questions with a completely straight face could have been interesting too. :smalltongue:

FAKE EDIT: I may or may not do a rebuttal to your "date" in a few days. Watch out.


Really all you need to do is read the 3FR archive and work out a decent character with a clear motive for joining plot and not just a case of

Isn't that what Threeshades wants? :smalltongue:

Mask's post reminded me, you don't even really need a clear goal, Rae's in-comic motivation was the same as my out-of-comic motivation, he was bored and it looked like he could have fun if he joined in on the fight. He also likes penguins :smalltongue:

[Lord Raziere]

hmmmmm.....Q, I don't think Nameless is THAT cloudcuckoolanderly, Nameless is a bit like that but not that much.....

[Rae Artemi]

hmmmmm.....Q, I don't think Nameless is THAT cloudcuckoolanderly, Nameless is a bit like that but not that much.....

I think that the main point of the whole thing may be that he is overemphasizing certain parts of a characters personality and using Q as a foil to see just how ridiculous things could get if A person only had a few comics to go off of to formulate other's personalities.


Or he's just trying to be funny :smalltongue:

ooooooooooh I see now. I get it, its parodying the characters.

[Felyndiira]

Isn't that what Threeshades wants? :smalltongue:

But I thought Threeshades just wants to ultimately se...leep with Leroy (and take over the world, but more importantly, sleep with the fishes) =p.

@Fay: You don't need motivation to join ABR plots =p.

@V: You are confused because you are reading something I produced while sleep-typing. I need proper sleep. Yup.

[Zexion]

@Zex: It's a common fallacy that your character needs motivation to join ABR plots (except maybe FI). In FFF:R, Fel's entire planned MO is that "she can't find the underdark, so she's joining the whole thing out of boredom, literally for the lulz." Thus, if you want, you can simply join a team because KP stole your ice cream when you were little, and you were just out for long overdue revenge.
Uh huh. Wait, what? I iz confuzzled. :smallconfused::smallbiggrin:

[Fay Graydon]

Watch it be you :smalltongue:

I doubt Q could capture me in six panels :smalltongue: (Well I hope not anyway :smalleek:)


hmmmmm.....Q, I don't think Nameless is THAT cloudcuckoolanderly, Nameless is a bit like that but not that much.....

He totally is... (And he DOES have bewbies...)


@Fay: You don't need motivation to join ABR plots =p.

No but having a character with goals is good.
I mean I'm gunna use Rae as an example...
How did he know about the first key? no one else did till Salmon and Leyroy went all trancy.
Why does he want them?
Does he know what power they have?

Whereas my character (Maestro) has very clearly defined goals...
Spoilered so that If you don't want to know his rough goals you don't have to read or accidentally see them.
Step 1: Kidnap Big Fish
Step 2: Get Big Fish to tell him where the mysterious "Keys" locking away the "Dragon Talisman" is that he had read stories and legends about.
Step 3: Gain access to the Keys.
Step 4: Gain access to the Talisman.
Step 5: Use the power of the Talisman to spread his magic music across the whole planet and bend everyone to his will.
Step 6: ????
Step 7: Profit!

Which reminds me... I should probably chase up Keris as he had a few comic ideas that meant I might have to wait for him to make a comic before making one myself... (In both/either 3FR and/or FI) :smallsigh:

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Eh... if I wanted to join this, what would I need to do, and what would the requirements be?
As the other's have said, read through (At least some) of the archive of the plot-line you're interested in. Being at the moment either Future Imperfect or Fat Fish Fury: Reboot.

Think of a character concept and find a way to worm it into the plot. And that's it.

Oh god... These Q romance comics are terrible! D=
I cant wait to see who the next victim is!
Agreed. They're oddly good for something I should find awful. :smalltongue:

Wow, I've multiple posted to the max. I think I'll combine all the previous recent posts into one. :smalleek: [EDIT] That has been done.

Yeah your right Q...
Way to personal and I find it slightly offensive :smallannoyed:
I wouldn't have minded if you had taken the piss out of my over happy friendly nature.
Nor my costant changing of outfits/avatars/whatever.
But something like that was a little bit... Yeah... I'd prefer for you to take it down if you dont mind hun.

I would suggest that you would be better off not tackling personal issues for these interviews, but rather use ABR-related matters, like my overly controlling nature, Threeshades' godmodding or Randomizer's inability to accept a loss. Not... real-life affairs. Those can get very touchy.

I'll answer these:

He didn't know about the keys, but it's reasonable to assume that someone on the ship told him the reason why they were doing what they were doing.
He doesn't want the keys, he's just in this to have fun and see the sights.
And no, he doesn't know exactly what powers they have, but even if he did he wouldn't want it. Power corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely and all that. Also more mysterious reasons, but those would be spoilerific if I were to reveal them.

hey, it was all you guys faults, you just said a vague "no godmodding" and such, and oh and by the way, your characters are kind of the powerful side themselves, and its a different format of roleplay than I was used to, all this combined sorta made me confused as to what passed for "too powerful" or "godmodding" mmmmk? you didn't speciafy whata theya werea.

and it wasn't turning into an electric monster! it was internal summoning a storm elemental and using its powers, the altered look is just a side-effect.
why? so that he looks cool duh.

Rule 5: Don't godmod others, It's okay to have somebody else say things, but don't have them make any big decisions.

Rule 6: NO SHOWBOATING! in Improv every member is trying to make the rest of the ensamble look good, not to try to make themselves look good. You can still do awsome things, but don't completally overshadow everybody else.

Rule 7: Build Up, if your going to change the plot in a major way, Don't do it all in one post, start it, making it clear what your trying to acheive, if other people want to stop it they can and we dont have to vote your post non-canon.
--
Rule 9: Don't finish lethal or incrediably dehabilitating attacks against other PC's, start them and give the other person a chance to react, its not "I cut your head off", its "I try to cut your head off", it's up to them whether or not you succeed.

Rule 10: accept weakness, we are not all superman, we are not all invincible, its no fun if nobody loses anything.

Rule 11: Get over yourself, there are other people in this plot to, so don't plan more then one post ahead and then get mad when people don't feel like going with what you want them to do, I don't care how awsome it seems.
Amendments can be allowed, rules can be changed according to votes, ect.

It wasn't vague to the rest of us, I was just a jerk when I was thirteen.

Also, no fault-calling our whatever you just did. saying it's other people's fault because you didn't get it is mean, meanie-meanie-mean.

My character's got a gun and can run, he works for a completely mortal Moonelf with a sword and works with a penguin with standard magic, a Kung-Fu guy with electric powers weaker than what the penguin could do and a sneaky Thiefling. How is that powerful?

Where should we know you didn't know what god-modding was? it's in the first post and written in higher detail in the FFRPG section.

Too powerful means you can railroad the plot if you feel like it just because you can explode anyone that disagree and god-modding means you
do stuff without giving the rest of us time to react, simple :smallsmile:



I mean I COULD make a non-overpowered character who just snarks at everything now that I know what passes for overpowered here, but nyeh.

If you think it could be fun then do it!

We don't mean you can't have a character who have power, we just mean he shouldn't be able to out-power everybody without breaking a sweat and just steal all the keys thus derailing the plot.

Hi Brighty!

How's it been going, dude?

there is many kinds of godmodding, just saying "godmodding" isn't enough, for example invincibility godmodding and mind control godmodding are two very different types, while super-speed godmodding is different from regeneration godmodding, I know what godmodding is you just didn't specify which one.

I consider super-speed, the ability to summon a space ship/airplane, a certain ponytailed person who can apparently use super clay to reach miles into the sky to pull my character down, a sword that can cut through anything, control over a tentacle-airship, very powerful, yes.

ok, how about summoning like last time, but only with non-living objects and nothing bigger than himself? the only reason he came down here is to snark at people. His backstory is that he spent too long on vacation and forgot what he was supposed to be on vacation from. that sound good?

All of them are bad, to put it in example form:

If your character were the best tap-dancer ever but otherwise weak and defenceless and I had my character who had never shown dancing skills before and had all kinds of other powers out do yours at tap-dancing it would be a Mary Sue moment and not god-modding (We still wouldn't allow it but that's another post) but if I drew mine out do your s and then had yours say "You've beaten me, here have my belongings" then it would be god-modding because I took your control of your own character from you :smallsmile:

Superspeed and no other magical powers, mind you. Crow can only do one other thing that constitutes as magic (which has nasty side-effects anyway) and both require specific items.
The Vendettamobile is a team-jet of sorts and can't do all that much so why is it a problem?
That was super-denim and I'll let Rae explain that one.
What sword?
That tentacle-thing is the first mate of Nitrine, the ship was team Good's team-jet.
It's all different characters who could by no means affect your character (except Rae) anyway so why is it them you call very powerful?

See no problem there, just remember to have funny-fun and be careful not to spoil other's fun.

FunFunFun : 3

[Rae Artemi]

That was super-denim and I'll let Rae explain that one.


Yep, My character has 1 power really (well, he can do simple spells and add his power to other people's spells, but those aren't major), control over denim and the ability to summon it, he is a half decent fighter by his own rights, but yeah magic denim. Yellow denim, like the kind I used to restrain you is electricproof and can deliver shocks, and has the same capabilities as steel. I used my in-comic knowledge of what I could have seen your character do and attacked in the best way I could, which wasn't perfect, a still fireball, for example, could have easily burnt the denim. There were options, and more than the 2 I gave It's powerful yes, but not Gamebreakingly so.

EDIT: OOH OOH OOH! Me, Pick me Q! I'll make you a nice denim suit!

[GrlumpTheElder]

What sword?


Falira's, IIRC...

Well, it's take two for this issue for A Date With The Q. I figured Fay deserved a less offensive try at this.

A Date With The Q #4: Fay Graydon

I wonder who Q should date next episode. Should there be a next episode? :smallconfused:

Hmmmmmmm.

This... This was funny! :smallbiggrin:
You know I actually do have a naked template that i start with... :smalltongue:

And I'm dressed as a wolf girl (as its a costume I've actually bought and waiting on to be delievered)

[Felyndiira]

Are we having that overpowered discussion thing again XD?

I think a good way to summarize the whole issue is this: no one cares about how powerful a character potentially is. People don't care if Mr. A have time stop or shapechange if he uses them sparingly and don't dominate the plot with them. I'm actually left-handed and lazy genius both works, and even if he doesn't believe in trope shenanigans, you can let others win once in a while by:

1. Posting sparingly
2. Try not to interrupt attempted plot points such as a battle between team good and evil.
3. Avoid taking on everyone single-handedly.

Overall, it's not about the potential power of a character as much as it is about how you use them. I've roleplayed (freeform) with some of the most ridiculous overpowered things out there and have personally used many of those characters (in fact, Fel is very overpowered), and I was able to have fun with things like very, very weak child characters because they didn't try to dominate the roleplay at every single turn.

And now that I've said all of that...*disappears*

[Lord Raziere]

hmph.

please just stop all these lectures I just want to put this all behind me. :smallannoyed:

And I only got into it because you mentioned Rae. if you want to put something behind you, here's my advice, stay out of it, if you ignore something when people bring it up, they will eventually stop bringing it up. Apologise once and move on. Oh, and stop blaming us for "Not clarifying what constituted overpowered" or whatever, you say you read through the entire archive, dont you think that you should have gleaned a little understanding as to how much impact a single player could have in such a short amount of time with absolutely no buildup? Yeah, very little.

So, yeah, you want to put this all behind you? Stop blaming others, apologise and move on, until then I guess you will just have to live with it.

[Lord Raziere]

Screw living with it. I shouldn't have to put up with something when I've already learned from my mistakes.

When I screw up, I fix myself, forget about it and get on with my life improved because of it, the end. I don't know why its hard for other people to get that.

So if there are people who still have a problem with me, they need to settle it and get on with their lives, cause if you bring it up, you clearly still have problem with me, settle as soon as you can and go back and do better things than bringing up mistakes and things some people would prefer to keep in the past.

I think that insulting a group of people who were offering friendly criticism and being generally trying to be helpful because you were mentioned as an example of godmodding (and rightly so) in passing, in a community you claimed in previous discussion thread to no longer be any part of seems a little silly... Take it in stride, my good fellow. :smallwink:

Oh, and Keveak, I'm doing quite well, thank you. As expected, my stress levels have greatly decreased in the past week or two since I dropped back into my stated plan of lurking (apart from these recent two posts), and I have been active on other forums quite happily.

I'm sorry, but it did come off as rather rude, especially when Rae was trying to be reasonable and no one truly meant to be offensive. It is no different to Squark's past actions, or Masterranger's tales of godmoddery being referenced as a cautionary tale to this day. If you truly are moving on, simply smile, learn from your mistakes, and laugh along with the rest. :smallsmile:

[Lord Raziere]

I've always wondered how Pokéballs work. I always imagined that they erase the Pokémon's memories and so you're the first thing they see, and they think of you as their mother and always do what you say. Which is why the Pokémon forget their families that they're probably hunting for out in the wild where you first encounter them, and their families starve to death.



I actually wondered that myself, and my logic is that pokemon are actually more dangerous than they are shown to be, because if we have to capture them then it must mean on some level that they are a threat and have to be controlled.

Therefore Professor Oak, the inventor of the pokeball is the one who made a brainwashing system of capture, distributing them across the world as the chief way to capture and control pokemon so that they don't destroy all of civilization.

but then my logic led to me to think: wait, if Nurse Joys machine can instantly heal pokemon through the pokeballs then that must mean the technology on some level is compatible with it, that the design is specifically for the pokeballs. which means that Prof. Oak also designed it. why? because as pokemon battle, I think they start to revert and become more wild and healing them renews the brainwashing to keep them in control.

then my mind thought about nurse joy and officer jenny and why they are the same, which then led me to figure out that all the pokemon look the same as well, so if Joy and Jenny all look the same then they must be part pokemon because they look like and talk like humans but y'know all look the same.

so why would they be part pokemon? well if nurse joys all operate the pokemon center, and Oak designed the technology for centers healing tech then Oak must be connected to them, but since the pokemon centers are free then that must mean they are government funded, meaning Prof Oak is with the government. and if Prof. Oak has the funding of the government, Joy is part pokemon, and Oak is the leading pokemon genius in the world who designed the pokeball which brainwashes pokemon....

then that must mean Prof. Oak genetically engineered all the Joys and Jenny's
and is part of a big government conspiracy to mass produce a homing pokeball that adapts itself to the pokemon it is about to catch to ensure 100% success rate based off the info from the pokedex and launch it across the world, thus controlling every pokemon ever and becoming rulers of the world!

I would write a story about that, but I am busy doing more important things.

Oak didn't make pokéballs...
Pokéballs were origonally crafted from Hollowed out Apricorns and things.

[Lord Raziere]

Oak didn't make pokéballs...
Pokéballs were origonally crafted from Hollowed out Apricorns and things.

but he did make the modern kinds.

I don't think he did... Cuz In one of the games I'm sure he gets delivered the masterball before giving it to Player.

Well, I guess the fight is over. Threeshades, SinisterPenguin, Keveak, if you want to rescue Q, I welcome you to it. :smallwink:

Oh, and Grlump? Q, like the Pokémon he resembles, doesn't like Pokéballs. :smalltongue:

Now Q, you and Grlump can have lots of fun, and you won't want to be rescued at all :smallamused: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Shame the fighting is over... I enjoyed it :smallbiggrin:

Just for the record, while making that comic, I watched TOO much Pokémon gameplay on youtube...



I don't think he did... Cuz In one of the games I'm sure he gets delivered the masterball before giving it to Player.

Red and Blue (and possibly Yellow) I seem to remember the Master ball being the thing you get him from the Viridian mart. It's known only as Oak's Package (:smallbiggrin:) then, but is revealed to be the master ball later...

I think.

[Lord Raziere]

I don't think he did... Cuz In one of the games I'm sure he gets delivered the masterball before giving it to Player.

from the government of course, they perfected it and they gave it to him to work out a way to make it cheaplier and more efficiently.

the reason why he gives it to you after the pokemon league is defeated is that by the end of the game he has accomplished his goal and is ready to launch the pokemissiles across the world.

[Lord Raziere]

[Mina Kobold]

The official Pokémon explanation is that they are testing you by battling you. If you can defeat them then you are worthy of being their friend/master.

The Pokéballs are made by this geezer in Silver/Soulsilver and Gold/Heartgold.
I can't remember where those games take place but you brig him apricorns and he makes you Pokéballs.

The games have a limited number of sprites thus explaining why the Joys and Jennys are identical :smallsmile:

Of course the truth is that the Pokémons are really running organised crime in the Pokéverse and have evil nefarious plans with the humans. Especially the Beautifly.

Nobody suspects the butterfly. MWAHAHAHA!

[Rae Artemi]

So, uh... I'd like to start comic-making now, but I don't know the entire plot (but I am reading it), so...

Genetic engineering hasn't been discovered yet (the tech level is roughly that of the early 1900s, with some additions), but the Sovice nanomachines could very well serve the same purpose (they're the non-magical Phlebotinum of Avbaroy). You could easily justify it by declaring it a UNA/Sovice experiment. Are you going to be with the UNA, the ALF, another group of your invention, or a freelancer?

Though beware, FI's archive is fairly outdated. I'll bring it up to date soon though, and I'll make a comic that's going to provide some plot hooks. There are not really any short-term goals right now apart from giving back Lor Nae's emerald, my next comic should hopefully provide some stuff for the characters in Skornbail.

Mmm... for starters, I'm inventing a group which will serve as a secret freelance organization called FALCON working with a specialized form of Sovice nanomachines that work to rebuild DNA strands to create genetically modified soldiers to sell to the highest bidder. My character will be an escaped creation, and will probably be freelance, but working to bring down FALCON.

Interesting. I suggest asking Lyinginbedmon about the specifics, he's the creator of the Sovices. Your character would be most likely to acquire help from the ALF, as it'll be in their interest to remove such an organisation to prevent the UNA (who have a lot more money than them) from using them. That's just the most obvious option however; I'm sure there's a way of allying the UNA against FALCON.

Mmh... Well, Avbaroy is largely tropical/temperate but Lockutas (a country that was magically frozen centuries ago) is now being fixed to its original climate, but there's going to be lots of melting ice as it's a long-drawn out process, which means lots of floating icebergs.

Well, the Sovice didn't really appear until 15 years before FI, so I would suggest changing the "34 years ago". Other than that, it's fine, although they seem very modern... Perhaps they're from Schizotec, the nation where most of the non-Sovice advanced technology comes from?

Sure. And yes, they are very modern. And sure, Schizotec would be a good starting nation, but, of course, there would be exceptions.

[Lord Raziere]

huh, the FI map doesn't look so bad...the Sovice only officially control a small portion of the world, why do ya guys paint it as so hopeless? it only looks kinda-bad to me.

The "Sovice Territory" areas are mostly uninhabited deserts, the UNA control pretty much the entire world.

[Lord Raziere]

The "Sovice Territory" areas are mostly uninhabited deserts, the UNA control pretty much the entire world.

then how are the Sovices getting any resources? sand ain't much of anything, so either they are getting it from the UNA or trading.....

or do the Sovices use their nano-robotic trick to transmute sand into other forms of matter to get their matter or for some reason do the Sovices not need resources?

also why is it that big gulf thing in the Sovice territories circular? did a meteorite come down and make it like that?

[Mad Mask]

then how are the Sovices getting any resources? sand ain't much of anything, so either they are getting it from the UNA or trading.....

Deserts aren't just dunes of sands. A lot of them are rocky, and there are plenty of resources to be found there. And IIRC, the Sovices can absorb almost anything.

The UNA was founded by the Sovices, they're highly connected.


also why is it that big gulf thing in the Sovice territories circular? did a meteorite come down and make it like that?

Some 2500 years ago the Great Cataclysm happened. Some believe it's a meteorite, but no-one is quite sure.

[Zexion]

I just edited my IC (in-comic :smallbiggrin:) post to show the second background comic. I think I'll make about four total, then make him run a small self-run mission, and then he can get involved in the plot.

[Lord Raziere]

huh, just curious.

hey maybe it would be better if I tried FI instead, I'm more of a "serious" guy than a "silly" guy anyways, and a bleak hopeless fight against a technologically superior regime sounds cyberpunk to me and I like cyberpunk. yea, forget the "gather the macguffins" plot, fighting against the Sovices and UNA sounds like my cup of tea, the high chance of death just sounds like a good environment to try to do something sufficiently audacious, cause if you can pull off something like that in that kind of setting.....

that and the plot actually sounds real. and of the FI comics I read so far.......I don't see many people dying aside from mooks. I'm not worried.

[Zexion]

Um... so, what are the major advanced-technology countries near Lockutas? Forgive me, but I don't know very much about the world...

There's Armanea (http://abr.wetpaint.com/page/Amarnea), who was of near-Modern Earth technology, yet like Schizotec, it was completely isolated from the rest of the world until the UNA was established in 1526. At that point most of the world was at roughly Late Medieval in terms of tech, so any nation that is technologically advanced has to be isolated to explain how their knowledge didn't spread to the rest of the world.

Softwind is probably where your character is, because that's where most of the dunes are. There are three other deserts: Harshrealm (rocky with flash floods), Helina (volcanic) and the Eternal Ruins (also rocky).


Hmm... how about this organization stole a whole bunch of information from Armenea's libraries, all to do with modifying genetics and stuff? :smallbiggrin:

Sounds good.


Or maybe the lab people were given the information by the UNA to help with their research... :smallamused:

Mmh... Maybe they stole the information about genetic engineering from Armanea, and the UNA gave them some Sovices to experiment on?


Hmm... thank you. It's very useful and stuff. :smalltongue:

You're welcome. :smallsmile:

You mean, gave them some Sovices to experiment with. They're still modifying human genetics, but they need the Sovices to help.

You can "make" hats? O.O


Well, I can spawn six different kinds of denim in pretty much any shape or form that I'd like, so yeah, I can make hats.

Well, I have friends who can sew and enough knowledge of the internet to find a pattern to make a hat, so theoretically...

Oh finding Patterns is easy, so is sewing (admittedly I'm not very good)
But I have the problem of anytime I make something it looks like crap. :smallfrown:

Me too, that's why I would have my friends who know what they're doing handle the sewing.

As a hat collecter myself (yes, that is one of my hobbies. Collecting hats.) I would love it if somebody I knew could make me any single hat I would ever want.

I guessing this somebody would want to be paid, and not just in cameos, which is where I'd probably turn the offer down. :smalltongue:

Actually, I do know a custom hat store. The only problem is, they don't do designs or anything like that. So when I was making a Mario hat and a Luigi hat for myself to add to my collection, I had to get my parents to sew the letters on. It cost a lot to get those hats made, too. Like $80 a hat.

The next day, dollar stores are selling Mario Bros. hats for like, $3 bucks each. :smallfurious:

So...yeah. Meaningless story...

[Fay Graydon]

Ah but I don't collect hats...
I just wear them.

I have yet to wear a hat i didnt like or that didn't suit me.

[Rae Artemi]

I used to have a Trilby, until my friend broke it. Yes, my friend broke my trilby. I need a new one.

Another Hat collecter, I knew I couldn't be the only one :D

Truth be told, my hat collection is mainly antiquarian hats, so I can't really wear them...

Second the thought that it would be awesome if someone I knew could make me any hat I wanted.

Would give you my spare one, but you sort of live in America and I sort of don't...

In the first four panels of the flash back are four lines from four songs (one in each panel. Can you identify them?

Just let me fetch my microscope... :smalltongue:

[GrlumpTheElder]

Yeah, sorry about that. Image hosts don't like large images... Should be right now.

[Fay Graydon]

Love the comic showing a little sinisterness to Maestro and the fact that he obviously has been trying things out to live test subjects...

Should make his evil job easier...
