ABR Discussion Thread XXXII - Imperfectly Rebooted

[Keveak]

Fine then, get out of my upstairs library! :smallannoyed:

Sure, have a nice day!

*goes outside*


(Surprise! I'm not stereo-typical :smalltongue:)

[CrimsonAngel]

Oooo, i'm on your laaaaawn!

[licoot]

*creeps out of lurking*
how dare you tread on the lawn of the mighty three shades:smallannoyed:

[CrimsonAngel]

*creeps out of lurking*
how dare you tread on the lawn of the mighty three shades:smallannoyed:

Why were you lurking? :smallconfused:

[Keveak]

Why were you lurking? :smallconfused:

Because he had nothing to write?

Or maybe they're having a party without us! Those sneaky lurkers.

[CrimsonAngel]

I should set him on fire. But this cimputer dosen't have my templates.

[Threeshades]

Because he had nothing to write?

Or maybe they're having a party without us! Those sneaky lurkers.

A lurking party? A party where everyone does his best to stay out of the others' sight...?
that's gotta be..... AWESOME!

[CrimsonAngel]

*lurk lurk lurk*

Go Guildwars!

[Rae Artemi]

Nowhere near what we've seen from Crimson, he IS crazy.

But then again, most of us are :smalltongue:
EDIT:

@Threesy: ... But I'm in your attic.

Oh, you have no Idea how crazy I can be. No idea. Let's just say Denimancy has been one of my most sane ideas,

[licoot]

*lurk*
this lurking party is surprisingly eventful:smalltongue:
*lurk*

[Fay Graydon]

Go Guildwars!

I call your Guildwars and raise you Earth and Beyond.

[Kumo]

Oh, you have no Idea how crazy I can be. No idea. Let's just say Denimancy has been one of my most sane ideas,
Removed due to misinterpretation possibility

I call your Guildwars and raise you Earth and Beyond.

I'll see your Earth and Beyond, and raise you Starcraft 2.

[Emperor Ing]

I'll see your Earth and Beyond, and raise you Starcraft 2.

I'll see your Starcraft II and raise you one Dr. Who the Video Game
*hovers back and casts Prismatic Sphere to protect self from the insanity* :smallamused:

[Nameless]

Guild Wars is amazing. But only if you have friends playing it with you, otherwise it gets boring.

[Kumo]

Guild Wars is amazing. But only if you have friends playing it with you, otherwise it gets boring.

That would explain why i hated that game

[Threeshades]

Super Mario Bros. 3 end of story.

[Keveak]

Super Mario Bros. 3 end of story.

I personally prefer "Life", the actual game is is a bit bland and the plot is confusing but the mini-games are awesome, a shame everybody keeps argues about whose idea it was first, though :smalltongue:

@Kumo: You've got no friends to play with? Too bad :smallfrown:

[Kumo]

Super Mario Bros. 3 end of story.

We're betting. You don't win poker by putting all in >.>

@Kumo: You've got no friends to play with? Too bad :smallfrown:

I didn't when i was playing the game except this one guy who was never on... that and i never quite got the hang of using a necromancer properly =/

[CrimsonAngel]

Sometimes I play with my dad, but I'v pretty much betten everything and go on to get armor and do the new stuff they added in transition to GW2.

[Silverraptor]

I take all your games and raise it to League of Legends.:smallamused:

[Emperor Ing]

I take all your games and raise it to League of Legends.:smallamused:

I take your League of Legends and raise you one Superman 64. :smallbiggrin:

[licoot]

I take your League of Legends and raise you one Superman 64.
I raise you Super Smash Bros Brawl:smalltongue:

[Emperor Ing]

I raise you Super Smash Bros Brawl:smalltongue:

I raise you Super Smash Brothers Melee. :smallamused:

[BRC]

I raise you Super Smash Brothers Melee. :smallamused:
I raise you Pong.

[licoot]

I raise you pinball

[Lord Raziere]

I raise you pinball

I raise you Chess.

[CrimsonAngel]

I raise you DnD.

[BRC]

I raise you DnD.
I raise you kubb.

[licoot]

firstly, where do you get these games from
secondly, i raise you Ms. Pacman

[Silverraptor]

And I'm calling an end to this now. Sorry guys.

[Kumo]

Quick! Someone start a game thread!

[Threeshades]

"ABR Game Discussion Thread I - We finally managed to go entirely beside the point" coming right up.

[Emperor Ing]

Who would win in a fight between Commander Shepard and Marcus Fenix?

[Kumo]

Who would win in a fight between Commander Shepard and Marcus Fenix?

I vote commander shepard because i have no idea who marcus fenix is and shepard's powers are ridiculously ambiguous =)

[Lyinginbedmon]

I also vote Shephard because Fenix tends to focus on brute force whilst Shephard can make you float about in zero grav and potshot you.

[Kumo]

I also vote Shephard because Fenix tends to focus on brute force whilst Shephard can make you float about in zero grav and potshot you.

Unless he picked soldier. Then he DOES focus on brute force...

You know what? Rand, could you tell us what kind of Shepard you were thinking of? Just to make this easier?

[Lyinginbedmon]

Unless he picked soldier. Then he DOES focus on brute force...

You know what? Rand, could you tell us what kind of Shepard you were thinking of? Just to make this easier?

Does it matter? Fenix is also generally solo or duet, Shephard is, depending on circumstance, at least 3 people, one of whom is almost regularly able to negate gravity.

[Falgorn]

*lurk lurk lurk*

Go Guildwars!

You play, too?

http://th02.deviantart.net/fs41/150/f/2009/025/3/c/Awsome_face__by_shadowpuppy132.png

I'm a necromancer.

[CrimsonAngel]

I'm several classes, but my main is a dervish.

[Kumo]

Does it matter? Fenix is also generally solo or duet, Shephard is, depending on circumstance, at least 3 people, one of whom is almost regularly able to negate gravity.

First, you forgot the midway classes =/
Second, if you mean the squads, we were talking about shepard himself, right?

[CrimsonAngel]

You play, too?


I'm a necromancer.

Maybe we could quest together sometime.

[Lyinginbedmon]

One of the most intricate designs I've ever done is now the wiki, Chief Akatar'is of the Der'o Fasciid (http://abr.wetpaint.com/page/Chief+Akatar%27is). He's pretty dead these days but then so are a lot of characters in ABR :smalltongue:

Also looking for some reader contributions on what to write next here (http://www.remembercomic.co.uk/2010/05/09/chronicles-of-arcania-where-to-now/).

And lastly, intending to have the Silan (dog) unit seek out the Citadel as the most recognisable friendly structure, though might be a while since I've got exams this week, comics to make to cover my trip to Bath next week, etc.

[SinisterPenguin]

New FFF: R up.

In retrospect it would probably be cooler if I had waited until the very final absolute last battle of FFF: R or something and then whipped out the bee gun, but hey.

Also, don't ask how SP managed to conceal the bee gun behind his back all this time. Or how he's carrying it. :smalltongue:

[Green-Shirt Q]

New FFF: R up.

In retrospect it would probably be cooler if I had waited until the very final absolute last battle of FFF: R or something and then whipped out the bee gun, but hey.

Well, If it means anything to you, the bee gun has already shown up. :smalltongue:

FFFR
http://i49.tinypic.com/2z5uqn9.png

[SinisterPenguin]

Well, If it means anything to you, the bee gun has already shown up. :smalltongue:

Well, yeah, but that was right after it's first appearance. I suppose I meant to actually use it in battle.

[Threeshades]

I haven't really been keeping track but I'm going to assume most everyone's started fighting for real now.

FFF: R

Bees. My god!

[CrimsonAngel]

Bees. My god!

This is why you're a patron god.

[Kumo]

I just thought of something.

In these comics a penguin either doesn't have nostrils or has them on their beak, right? If that's the case... do they talk with their noses / smell with their mouths?

Stupid-o-meter: 94%

[V'icternus]

Kumo.

Stick figures.

Nobody has a nose.

[Keveak]

This is why you're a patron god.

there is no one reason for Threesy being a patron god, but if you have to mention one then let it be fashion.

Because that's so silly that we have to use it at least once :smalltongue:

[Green-Shirt Q]

Nobody has a nose.

Absolutely. :smalltongue:

[Kumo]

Kumo.

Stick figures.

Nobody has a nose.

Correction: nobody's nose is DRAWN

[Mad Mask]

Correction: nobody's nose is DRAWN

One letter : Q.

[Kumo]

One letter : Q.

you know what we mean -_-

[V'icternus]

Sorry, sorry.

Nobody important has a nose. :smalltongue:

[Emperor Ing]

Sorry, sorry.

Nobody important has a nose. :smalltongue:

Nope, sorry. Too late. Already made your statement. Too late to make addendums.

[Silverraptor]

You know, I don't remember seeing the Q using the Bee-gun in the archive...>.>

[Fay Graydon]

Nobody has a nose.
Correction: nobody's nose is DRAWN

I think you'll find that Mr. Nobody has no nose :smallbiggrin:

[Keveak]

I think you'll find that Mr. Nobody has no nose :smallbiggrin:

Whatever happened to Mechafox anyway?

To my memory he was a fun and contributing member of ABR, but then he seemed to have faded away... Just like so many others have :smallfrown:

Oh well, no use in worrying, gotta keep happy :smallsmile:

[Green-Shirt Q]

Sorry, sorry.

Nobody important has a nose. :smalltongue:

:smallfrown:

*sulks*

[Keveak]

:smallfrown:

*sulks*

Don't worry, it's not like any of us are that important. Though, I do consider the planet we live on insignificant so that doesn't say much...

Anyway; don't worry, be happy! :smallsmile:

[Lord Raziere]

hey this looks fun.

mind if I join in? don't worry I've read how to join and won't even bother with a "hello" panel or anything silly like that.

basically I'm interested in this place and I've already read the original near 2000-comic long archive in 4 days (if you read all of A Song of Ice and Fire and Wheel of Time, you can read ANYTHING, trust me) plus the reboot. not interested in FI. plus I've read the rules.

why've I done all this? pays to do your research mate.

what you guys say about this?

Hi:smallbiggrin:
How did you read that much?, I've read FI but never got far through FFFR, I've read the biggining and the end but not the middle:smalleek:, and I've been here for a while

[Kumo]

Hi:smallbiggrin:

i read through the entire FFF archive, or at least what was left. FFR's not that much to read =/

[Keveak]

Pulled the same feat when I joined, was still a jerk, though :smallsigh::smallfrown:

Hope I ain't anymore, but you never know.

Anyway, Back to ABR related stuff...

So, how's the ABR stuff going? :smalltongue:

[CrimsonAngel]

I'm waiting for Rae to kill me. :smallfrown:

[Kumo]

I'm waiting for Rae to kill me. :smallfrown:

I'm waiting for you to respond to me asking if you're a kid or a gnome.

And wondering why i haven't posted a certain one-panel thing yet.

[Fay Graydon]

'Xactly :smallwink:

It seems you're all set, now make a character, kill Nightwing and join a plot!

pfft I never killed nightwing.
It's not a must do or anything XD
Also Hi ^^

Hi:smallbiggrin:

I just said: once you've read Wheel of Time and A Song of Ice and Fire series, you can pretty much read through anything no matter how long it is, and I've read a lot of books before that; I'm basically a finely honed bookworm capable of devouring any book you put in front of me and the same applies to webcomics and comic books in general. best thing is, I read it all while in the middle of a cold, its a skill of mine and I'm proud of it.

as for a character.......well lets see, I'm figuring the general power level is somewhere between high and epic, not sure, so I'll try and come up with something good enough to survive....

my current ideas are either some kind of epic psion who invented a something he calls psionitech (tech powered by his mind), a red/blue mana user from Mt:G or a guy who specializes in illusions and summonings.

[CrimsonAngel]

I like the sound of the last one.

[Lord Raziere]

yea and my idea of him is that he would mix the illusions and summons together so that people couldn't tell which is which.

he would also use his summoning magic to summon his weapons and vehicles, meaning if you tried to steal anything from him, he would just summon it right back, and the fact that he can always call up friends to help him is useful. :smallbiggrin:

Just remember, we are not restricted by DnD :smallwink:

Plus, if you're joining FFF:R then Rule of Fun trumps Rule of Cool which trumps petty realism :smalltongue:

Because i'm bored.

[Lord Raziere]

Just remember, we are not restricted by DnD :smallwink:

Plus, if you're joining FFF:R then Rule of Fun trumps Rule of Cool which trumps petty realism :smalltongue:

......so if doing something realistic to avoid a fight like turning invisible to sneak past people ain't gonna gimme brownie points eh?

good. I used to play on a freeform forum that basically followed what you just listed there, but flipped :smallannoyed: everyone there tried to simulate everything so that the freeform game, despite the kitchen sink setting like this one is, happens completely realistically.
what happened to it? eh lets just say too many supervillains and apocalypses ruins the setting ok?

as for being not restricted by DnD, I know that full well, thinking of making Goombas a few of my summonings, its just that magic is my favorite power source when dealing with settings involving superpowers, cause I usually reserve my love for sci-fi for writing hard sci-fi stuff, and who said the magic is even DnD at all? it could just be generic magic where I make the rules for myself, in fact it is.
for example, not only you can summon, but you can reverse-summon as well, by for example, reverse summon a piece of wall so that now there is a hole in wall- all you did was teleport a piece of a wall away. then at anytime, you can callback the wall right where it was, good as new so that no suspects there ever WAS a hole in the wall! clever, no?

[Darklord Bright]

When I'm bored, I start to draw an FFF:R comic which has an extended awesome fight scene between Falira and Cyban. (Though this might take anywhere from an hour to two.)

And there it is, enjoy! :smallsmile:

Dang it!

Now I have to redraw what I had drawn, perhaps I should work faster...

Nah, too distracted by the shiny stuff :smalltongue:

[Rae Artemi]

I'm waiting for Rae to kill me. :smallfrown:

Hold your horses, I got grounded :smalltongue:.

[Falgorn]

Well, I've decided I'm coming back to ABR.
But my Art skills need to be improved. So that's what I'm going to work on today.
So don't get too mad if I'm bugging you, please. :smallsmile:

[CrimsonAngel]

Cool! :smallbiggrin:

[Lord Raziere]

I got my first comic ready, whats the magic number for comic width so that its big enough to be readable and its art enjoyable, but not screen-stretching?

[CrimsonAngel]

Judge it by height, not width. Try using 600 if it's a full comic, and go higher or lower depending on how many rows you have.

..............

how am I supposed to judge it by height, when it that doesn't matter about page-stretching? what constitutes the definition of a full comic?

[Kumo]

http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1005/d15/0919/b6f4762.png

whose that one? Falgorn?

[Keris]

I got my first comic ready, whats the magic number for comic width so that its big enough to be readable and its art enjoyable, but not screen-stretching?
700px. Because I automatically resize posted images wider than that, and I don't like to squint when the text in comics gets shrunk.

Although, if it's more than 400px wide it should be spoilered anyway, so it doesn't really matter how wide it is overall.

Because i'm bored.

I think a roman short sword does not properly represent an elven courtblade. But the bolt pistol is cool. :smallbiggrin:

[CrimsonAngel]

I'm sorry, there weren't any elven courtblades.

[Threeshades]

but im sure there are katanas, scimitars or any other sword more fitting

[Kumo]

but im sure there are katanas, scimitars or any other sword more fitting

Oh stop complaining :smalltongue: My guy's a little off but i don't whine about it.

But i did i would say my guy's eyepatch is on the wrong eye, he's wearing armor under his cloak and his hair's too short. And light.

[CrimsonAngel]

Halfling!? HALFLING!?

[Lord Raziere]

Halfling!? HALFLING!?

looks like one to me: half the height of a human, no beard, color and weapon similarity to Belkar, obviously a ranger because of good sense of smell and hearing.

yea, halfling. :smalltongue:

[CrimsonAngel]

He's not halfling! Halflings no wear shooses! Just wait until me next comic, ohh yees!

[V'icternus]

Choice of footwear, or lack of same, is no indication of species.

If he weren't wearing shoes, he'd automatically be called a halfling by one and all, what with his size. Adding them could just mean he was a "different" halfling! :smalltongue:

[CrimsonAngel]

I hate making speech bubbles! :smallfrown:

[Darklord Bright]

How did he hear his thoughts?

[CrimsonAngel]

He can see through the fourth wall? I don't know.

[Silverraptor]

He can see through the fourth wall? I don't know.

Well, maybe you better make it clear soon. Like he has the ability to hear the word "Halfling" directed at him in someone's thoughts within a 4 and 3/4 block radius.

Or something stupid like that.:smalltongue:

[CrimsonAngel]

I'm on it.

[Kumo]

I'm on it.

epic rofl XD

[Lord Raziere]

hmmmm.....crimson, now I'm gonna have to figure out what those light-green bolts of energy do......Risqar is mostly a summoner/illusionist type of guy, blasting isn't his style.....

perhaps they are illusion spells that try to invade people's minds or something?
or perhaps some kind of Reverse Summon spell in projectile form that teleports people away? :smallconfused:

[Silverraptor]

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb232/Kumomaru/ABR/BeegunFlop.png

Ahahahahaha!!!:biggrin:

Illusion that's meant to distrct the enemy from his cowardly flight heroic escape?

[Lord Raziere]

Illusion that's meant to distract the enemy from his cowardly flight heroic escape?

.....or confuse them so that he can attack or scare them to freeze them in fear or make THEM run away, or illusions that make em feel drowsy or angry, or ones that make them unable to hear or see.

all so that he could either a: summon his rapier and stab you or b: summon a big monster to smash or blast you.

that and he is mostly running right now to go towards a fight, the fight he is fighting now is just not one he wants to fight at the moment.

[Fin]

Hey guys, just a quick note to let you all know my computer has taken a high dive into the shallow end (aka it is broke!) so I won't be able to get a comic up for a little while. Please don't forget the simian hero FI guys, just remember he needs Igon Minoblendy to magically restore his voice but he is otherwise a full sentient human conciousness in a cute cuddly monkey body. :smallsmile:

[Lord Raziere]

hey, is posting two comics in a row without any response in between godmodding? I'm not exactly clear on that.

[CrimsonAngel]

Go ahead. :smallsmile:

[V'icternus]

If the other lazy sods in ABR are too slow, that's not your fault. Make all the comics you want. :smalltongue:

Speaking of lazy sods, I should probably... do... something...
Yeah...

[Keveak]

hey, is posting two comics in a row without any response in between godmodding? I'm not exactly clear on that.

Does that mean I don't get to do anything?

Aw man, what's the fun in having a character if you can't do anything :smallfrown:

[Fay Graydon]

I have an idea for a new comic.
I wanna know if everyones okay with me introducing a supravillian?
If no then tough :smalltongue:

[CrimsonAngel]

*cough* Anyway I could help?

[Fay Graydon]

PM me if you want in on it CA hun

[Mad Mask]

PM me if you want in on it CA hun

Do you mean to start a new plot? Or just introduce a supervillain in FFFR/FI?

[Fay Graydon]

Do you mean to start a new plot? Or just introduce a supravillain in FFFR/FI?

Introduce a new SupraVillain in FFF:R :smallbiggrin:

[Lord Raziere]

Does that mean I don't get to do anything?

Aw man, what's the fun in having a character if you can't do anything :smallfrown:

you can do things, it just means you'll have to fight me in the process, it ain't called avatar BATTLE royale for nothin'

[Silverraptor]

I was wondering about why the key in FFF:r is so big.:smallconfused:

[Green-Shirt Q]

I have an idea for a new comic.
I wanna know if everyones okay with me introducing a supravillian?
If no then tough :smalltongue:

I had a plan to kinda turn Redshirt Q into one with my last comic, but I suppose you can't REALLY have too many supravillains, can you?

No need to PM me or anything. I may try and join with my other active character (or a completely new character) if I can predict what you guys are trying to do. Probably not, though. I do wish you guys luck.

[Darklord Bright]

Just so long as no character breaks the "Under 9000 power level" rule of FFF:R (as in, nobody should be stronger than the characters we've already seen) then there's no real problem with adding new characters of the evil persuasion onto the plot, as far as I see it.

[Lord Raziere]

eh, my character isn't really good or evil, he is really just out for his own freedom- it wouldn't benefit him either way if either the good guys or the bad guys win because if the bad guys win whole world is conquered or destroyed and his freedom is gone.

if heroes win? that just means this entire quest for more freedom had gone to waste, if he had no other choice he would help the heroes win, but he is more of an antagonist than anything else right now.

as for why the big key? I'm guessing its because the first person to get to it- I think it was Keveak- drew it first and for some reason, he drew it big :smallconfused:

as for power level- his most powerful spells are his internal summons, but he can only use one at a time, so I wouldn't be worried.

According to my crazed encyclopedia of a brain, evil is being selfish, so he would count as being sort of evil if he is just working to get his own freedom (Neutral Evil in DnD terms) but if his secondary objectives (like, not harming innocents, defending other's freedom, etc.) include enough good acts (non-selfish) then he might be neutral as you say, really depends on how you play him :smallsmile:

And now that I'm done with pointless babble I'll get to why the key is so big:

It's an important macguffin!...

And I kinda just thought it looked better than a key of normal size (Plus I weren't sure it would be apparent that it was the key if it was too small) :smalltongue:

secondary objectives? well his secondary objectives is what he does with his freedom: he does not actually want to harm anyone using his increased freedom when he gets it- that would only antagonize people and he would only end up with enemies which isn't a smart move in his book.

this extends to world domination- to him stuff like conquering the world only leads to being bound by responsibility which isn't freedom at all, so if he actually succeeds in getting all five keys?

he would probably just create his own island somewhere, maybe create some artificial life forms using his new power, and not really lord over so much as admire them like pieces of art and leave them alone, maybe move on to find immortality or something, but nothing much else.

I don't know, control of the amulet let one person build a global empire in fairly short order, control of all dragons could mean being able to make them use their powers to help you out as you like.

EDIT:

But the bird is still avoiding the potential threat, can't be too careful when it's about world domination (even if it's not your own world doination)

yea, shouldn't it be in his hand or something?

or perhaps its a canon thing need fixing?

McYellow is your yellow character with blonde hair, yellow shirt, dark yellow pants and cape, you know the guy is basically yellow all over, you know Goggles McYellow, the guy you call "Crow", or at the least yellow guy whom the crow follows around.

still your character yellow all over? :smallamused: that is such great teasing potential right there. "Goggles McYellow" and "Senorita la Amarilla" is just me getting warmed up.

That's mainly because his former clothes were ruined (by which I mean that his shirt and cape were annihilated) by Xartyve.

In his introduction he stated his name as William Crow, so that is not just what I call him. He is also a mercenary and one of the most serious people on team evil, so mocking him might be a tad stupid :smalltongue:

I'm just trying to make sure before I start on my second comic, but is it okay for me to obtain the second key before the plot gets to it?

I just want to make sure, since it does impact the plot quite a bit, and I'm not sure if anyone already has plans for the second key's location, etc.

Sooo he can run at about... Well... nearly 40,000 Miles per second... >.> acording to my calculations and assumeing that lightning goes at nearly 62,000 Miles in a second... which is about 1/3 the speed of light so hes going about 1/4 the speed of light?

Whats her motivation for obtaining/having the key/s? how does she know about them? Why does she want them?

Personally I think we should concentrate on One key at a time.

[Felyndiira]

Whats her motivation for obtaining/having the key/s? how does she know about them? Why does she want them?

Personally I think we should concentrate on One key at a time.
She has no motivation for obtaining any of the keys, nor does she really care about keeping them. The entire thing is entirely by chance - the "guardian of the second key" attacks Fel because she's "evil-aligned," she picks up the key after she wins, and the plot comes to her; the key will very likely end up in one side or the other after enough hijinks and token misunderstandings.

Fel's sole motivation in Avbaroy is to replace the drow matriarch (eventually), and she's not interested in using McGuffins to do so. Thus, she won't attempt to keep the key - it's just a way to eventually draw the plot to her and immerse her into the story aside from the standard "falling from the sky."

I ask, of course, because my next comic might be a bit graphics heavy (massive battle scene and all) and might take a bit of time to finish, so I want to make sure it's okay with other people before I draw it.

(The other reason being that it gives me a bit of leeway time before I get fully immersed in the plot, since I'm in the middle of job applications =p).

I take issue with the ability to "Reverse summon" things which were not summoned in the first place. Especially since the effect you're describing/showing is a teleport other, and the keys would be warded against such simple tricks, or else you could just grab them all and voila, command of the dragons received.

Edit: also, strictly speaking, "Reverse summoning" would not work that way. Summoning is pulling something (typically, a being) from its place of origin to a desired location, so "Reverse Summoning" would be putting something (Once again, typically a being I would imagine) from a desired location into it's place of origin, thus even if it did work on the key, the key would return to where it was made, or to the pedestal it was received from.

Edit Edit: Also, considering if reverse summoning works the way I described, it is still overpowered. You would have the ability to transport my characters across the galaxy back to their homeworld with a touch.

ok, I see, that is what you think is overpowered, got it.

how about I instead shrink the key, put it in a bag of holding, then send Crazna (the silver dragon) an illusionary message about it? that acceptable?

[Darklord Bright]

I dunno, putting one of the keys in an inter-dimensional space is still a little iffy, but I can see nothing obviously OP about it. So long as you don't just go "Now I teleport myself!" or do some other action to invalidate any further attempts to get the key off of you I suppose it should be fine.

[kpenguin]

Personally, I think the keys should be immune to any sort of conjuration or divination magic, simply because it makes them too easy to find and collect.

[Lord Raziere]

oh that, teleportation, the funny part of my characters backstory, is despite all his super-summoning powers is that he forgot to learn personal teleportation, mostly because he was too busy learning how to summon cool forms of transportation likes motorcycles, planes, submarines, tanks and even spaceships.....but no teleportation.

how do I explain the reverse summoning? I don't. Its being retconned outta existence cause its overpowered, so it won't really happen anyways.

[Lord Raziere]

Personally, I think the keys should be immune to any sort of conjuration or divination magic, simply because it makes them too easy to find and collect.

well it would make sense, but then how do you explain the big fish being able to tell where they are? epic divination magic can't find the keys but some random fish can? how does that work?

Three words: Plot Device Fish.

What? It's a real thing! Just look it up!

[Lord Raziere]

Three words: Plot Device Fish.

What? It's a real thing! Just look it up!

frack, well that reduces the silver dragons uses down to one: being Risqar's connection to the dragons. See, Risqar made a deal with the dragons that if he got the dragon talisman first, he would just use it to gain immortality then hand it to the dragons themselves for them to figure out how to destroy, or at least, seal away better so that there is no people going around looking for it to control the entire draconic race with,
and the idea was that he would be provided with a guy who could use divination magic to find the other four keys if he got the first one, but seeing as how the general consensus (so far) seems to be against divination finding the keys, it looks like this will just be to reveal Risqar while is out for the keys for mostly a selfish reason, he is also kind of the dragon race's agent in all this.

as for why the dragons don't send one of their own:
Metallics: We don't trust you chromatics! You'll use the dragon talisman to dominate us then take over the world!
Chromatics: We don't trust you metallics! You'll just use the dragon talisman to wipe all us chromatics out!

wait why aren't the dragons themselves guarding the keys anyways? you'd think they care more about something that could potentially enslave them all...

[V'icternus]

Keep in mind that while the Key may be immune to divination, the people looking for it are generally not. He could still be useful.

[kpenguin]

Because they don't know where the keys are either.

[Silverraptor]

So, how far back is considered non-canon?:smallconfused:

[Keveak]

Sooo he can run at about... Well... nearly 40,000 Miles per second... >.> acording to my calculations and assumeing that lightning goes at nearly 62,000 Miles in a second... which is about 1/3 the speed of light so hes going about 1/4 the speed of light?

That does sound quite over-powered... Even though I use the metric system and doesn't know how far a mile is :smalltongue:

What if he can't think at the same speed? the source of his speed is supposed to be Seven League Boots so he would logically only run at super-speed.

Also, I can't read Raziere's comic either :smallfrown:

[Lord Raziere]

hm.....must be all the extra panels.....perhaps if I take the the comic, split it into two images and repost it, it would be more readable?

[Keveak]

hm.....must be all the extra panels.....perhaps if I take the the comic, split it into two images and repost it, it would be more readable?

Can't you just upload it bigger?

[kpenguin]

Photobucket shrinks it. Try rearranging the panels to make the comic longer in width and shorter in height. You're running up against Photobucket's height limit, not its width limit.

[Emperor Ing]

That does sound quite over-powered... Even though I use the metric system and doesn't know how far a mile is :smalltongue:

This is approximately an inch

[-----------]

There are twelve of these in a foot.

There are 5280 feet in 1 mile.

That should help.

[V'icternus]

@Raziere:

The problem is a) you need bigger text, and b) the colour of the elemental's text has to be very different from that of the speech bubble.

That should fix everything.

...Everything text-related in your comics...

...Everything text-related in your comics that needs to be fixed...

...It should just fix stuff, okay?

[Rae Artemi]

or approximately 1.61 kilometers.

[licoot]

or approximately 1.61 kilometers.

I'm confused:smallfrown:
so many numbers:smalleek:

[Threeshades]

This is approximately an inch

[-----------]


That is if your screen size and resolution is the same as rand's :smallwink:
On my main screen this is an inch
[------------]

And on the secondary screen this is an inch:
[--------------]

@Keveak
an inch is 25.4 milimeters.

[Keveak]

@Keveak
an inch is 25.4 milimeters.

I know how long an inch is, for some reason most of the rulers here have them in addition to centimetres, along with the fact that the Danish name for them makes the fact that they're supposed to be as long as your thumb rather obvious. Miles on the other hand are radically different from their Danish namesakes which are closer to the length of leagues.

Anyway, we're getting of track*. Can anyone tell me what is going on in Raziere's comic?

*Why is that bad again? :smalltongue:

[Keris]

If your not careful your gunna make him brake into song because he can't find the key. :smallwink::smallbiggrin:
There's a pun here, if someone could be bothered to tease it out.
That does sound quite over-powered... Even though I use the metric system and doesn't know how far a mile is :smalltongue:
He'd be moving at roughly 300 000 000 km/h.
What if he can't think at the same speed? the source of his speed is supposed to be Seven League Boots so he would logically only run at super-speed.
Y'know the defining feature of seven league boots are that your steps are seven leagues (21 miles, 34km) long, right? It's because of this that the wearer can travel great distances in short time, not generally because of super-speed/agility.
Also, taking 17mph as a ballpark for average running speed and a yard for the length of each stride, running with seven league boots should be at about 1 000 000 km/h. Which is 600 000 mph for those of us used to Imperial units, around .2% of the speed of lightning, yet still 10 times faster than the speed of Earth's revolution about the Sun.

Can anyone tell me what is going on in Raziere's comic?
Rax summons a "Searching Eye", who locates the key. Rax then dismisses the wall he summoned, then "internal summons" a storm elemental, flies up and swipes the key from the bird. He then shrinks the key and tosses it in a bag. (The shrinking seems a bit superfluous to me, since it ended up in a bag anyway. And it sets a precedent that the keys are affected by transformation magic, which slightly goes against their "epic artefact" nature.)
He then tells some silver dragon-thing that he's got the key, and the dragon thing comments that Raz "followed through on his deal". Raz then tells "Mr. Nevermore" (i.e., the crow) to "Tell McYellow that he ain't getting the key even if he dies trying". (Of course, dying in the attempt would make it difficult for him to acquire the key anyway, but whatever. :smalltongue:)

[Silverraptor]

I feel that the keys shouldn't be affected by any kind of magic at all. What does everyone else think?

[Kumo]

A kilometer is a little more than half a mile.

Rough estimate: 1 meter = 3ft
5280ft = 1 mile

[Lord Raziere]

now you guys are complaining that I shrunk it, and about putting it in a bag of holding? I can't win here can I? :smallannoyed:

modified comic, now improved with less hard-to-read-ness with be up in a few seconds

[V'icternus]

I feel that the keys shouldn't be affected by any kind of magic at all. What does everyone else think?

I want them to be immune to all magic, totally unbreakable, and to cause a massive, Earth-rending explosion if they come into contact with any variety of cheese.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Heh he. I just got the game Warioware: DIY, a DS game about making minigames. It's very advanced, very intuitive and VERY addicting.

I made a whole bunch of ABR games with it. :smallcool:

Kill the Challengers: A game where you play as Randomizer, and N00bs try and kill you to take your place. You have to chainsaw five of them before they get too close.

Leroy Drop: A game where you play as Almighty Salmon, and you have to drop Leroy on Threeshades to win.

And my personal favourite...

Q's Last Stand: It's time to settle the rivalry once and for all! You play as Redhsirt Q, and you have to punch Lying. Over and over again. And he goes flying backwards every time. It's SO satisfying. http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z257/kerisrain/other/evil.png

I think I'm going to make a video and post it online for you guys to see. Until then, I'm taking requests for new ABR games to put in the video! :smallsmile:

Keep in mind they are only, like, 3-6 seconds long, though.

Some rough ideas

Backfire: Kumo creates a backfire to stop a forest fire. The less area burned, the higher your score.

Minoblendy's Extradimensional Wardrobe: Rearrange the clothing in the wardrobe by color.

Use the Fish: Nitrine fights zombies with Salmon as a weapon. Last to the time limit.

Choke-o-bo: Ninja Chocobo pwns some noobs: like a ninja would! (stealth) Defeat all enemies without getting caught.

Xartyve on Ice: Xart fights Crow wearing roller skates.

You sunk my...: Threeshades and Salmon play battleships.

[Silverraptor]

Y'know the defining feature of seven league boots are that your steps are seven leagues (21 miles, 34km) long, right? It's because of this that the wearer can travel great distances in short time, not generally because of super-speed/agility.

Which is 600 000 mph for those of us used to Imperial units, around .2% of the speed of lightning, yet still 10 times faster than the speed of Earth's revolution about the Sun.

The fact that it doesn't effect his reaction speed and such is my explanation for why Crow couldn't just grab the key and run to the fortress of vengeance before anyone could react, But given that anyone can react perfectly well at the speed of a car means that he don't need to remain at human speed at all.

I assumed he could take a step once per second and thus would be moving at 64% per cent of 11 leagues per second (roughly the speed of lightning)

Am I wrong?

[Keris]

now you guys are complaining that I shrunk it, and about putting it in a bag of holding? I can't win here can I? :smallannoyed:
I don't see anyone objecting to it being put in a bag of holding, that's fine as it can still be pick-pocketed, or the bag swiped, or whatever. No-one complained when the crow was carrying it in hammerspace during a couple of Keveak's comics.
But, like I said, shrinking the key sets an unwanted precedent. If you can shrink it, could not someone else change it's shape more drastically? And then we have a misshapen key, which aren't generally good at fitting locks. I agree with Silver, no conventional magic should affect the keys, and seeing as you're putting it in an extra-dimensional storage anyway, not shrinking it won't change anything.

Then they're more boots of swiftness than seven league boots, aren't they? His steps aren't seven leagues long at all, he's just moving faster than usual.

Lightning moves at something around 1/3 of c, which works out as over 60 000 miles per second. A league is 3 miles, so yeah, you're mistaken. :smalltongue:
Seven leagues per second is 75 000 mph (120 000 km/h), which is more like .03% the speed of lightning. But when running, you're taking quite a bit more than one step every second, so 1 million km/h should be a good ballpark for seven league boots.

I can hand-wave that. The bird would is as big as it should be on the inside but the outside is locked up in hammerspace. There, now we can bicker about the key being stored in a Bag Of Holding :smalltongue:


Then they're more boots of swiftness than seven league boots, aren't they? His steps aren't seven leagues long at all, he's just moving faster than usual.

It's magic, he can just take shorter steps :smalltongue: If they were boots of swiftness then he would be faster in all other aspects too and my previous hand-wave would be moot.

Besides, Seven League boots are cooler :smalltongue:

I apologise then, Crow moves 1.000.000 km/h now. Thank you for clarifying me :smallsmile:

[Darklord Bright]

I'm laughing to myself right now at the idea of Cyban getting magical powers and commanding little hordes of minions like in the Overlord games. Would probably never happen though, unless other people think it would be funny. :smalltongue:

Not quite sure what you mean here. :smallconfused:

Now you're clutching at straws. :smalltongue: If taking a yard long step means he travels 7 leagues, then he'd only be taking a ~25μm long step to travel a metre. That's a quarter of the thickness of a human hair, there's no way he has that much precision with his movements.
There's no need for boots of swiftness to speed up anything but your feet. Sure, it could speed up your thought processes as well, but it doesn't need to.

I mean that instead of it being small and having it's insides made bigger by magic it's big and have it's outside shrunk by magic.

Or in other words, a reverse bag of holding.

I was more thinking that he takes yard-long steps but doesn't use the full power of the magic and thus they don't end up being seven leagues long.

But that do sound More like boots of swiftness... Well then they're boots of swiftness! Problem solved :smallsmile:

ok, to satisfy everyone, how about I retcon the key shrinking as an illusion cast on the air around the key instead of actually shrinking it?

as for bag of holding.......it stays, storing it in there doesn't seem overpowered or broken to me, unless you want to use the "bag of holding inside of bag of holding" argument and argue that its broken on the grounds that if I put the BoH with the key inside another BoH it would rip the key outta existence and render the plot pointless, but other than that I don't see any problems....

I just want to ask why it's so important that he appears to have shrunk the key? Illusion or no illusion, it just doesn't make any sense.

[Lord Raziere]

he figured that since the key was so big, it would be harder to grab it from him if he shrunk it.

I still don't really see the point in doing that.

well what do you think is harder to grab? a big key or a small key?

ok, nevermind. whatever.
