Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XIX: To FAIL, or not to FAIL?

Ooh, forgot about R&C Future

As for cohorts, of course. You don't, in fact, need to follow any guidelines for DnD whatsoever; most of us use them to stay in touch with reality. It's not a contest, or a game, or anything; it's just ABR fun. If we did follow rules, level 5 characters wouldn't be able to one-shot epic level characters like Lying.

When did that happen ?

We havn't had random fun in... Since a long while before I came!

When did that happen ?

In almost every random kill of Lying or Rand, as well as other almost-epic beings.

Random kills don't count, and what tells you these characters were D&D based ?

The little man in my stomach told me so!

Look, MM, I know you dislike people in ABR being D&D based, but face it, almost all the people here have D&D based characters to some degree. It doesn't mean that D&D based characters are mandatory though, of course.
Anyways, welcome Assassin! I'm not good at explaining things here, so wait til either MM is done arguing (could be a while*)or one of the other people who are good at explaining things gets here, then you'll get a real explanation. In the meantime, just read the rules on the first post. Other than that, there aren't many restrictions here. A few things you should know about the other ABRians:
Don't get annoyed with Keveak if he seems to be using awful grammar, he just isn't a native speaker (he's from Denmark, in case you're wondering). Actually, he picks up the language pretty well.
DO NOT get in an argument over: D&D based things in ABR with Mad Mask, the acronyms F.A.I.L. "vs." A.L.F. with Nameless, whether my avvy in any way resembles anything from a fast food restaurant (or any food place), or whether Lying's beard can shoot fireballs.
Don't associate with Master Ranger.
Always bug Squark about godmodding.
Act like you liked Lying's comic strip so that he doesn't feel dejected.**

*Yep, I'm being passive aggressive.
**Ow! I'm joking, I'm joking!

Joking about liking it or joking about saying they like it?

And they aren't fireballs, they're disintegrate-infused flaming spheres with a helping hand from telekinesis to move faster.

What are we arguing about now?

[Mina Kobold]

What are we arguing about now?

Dunno.. Cupcakes?

[Fawkes]

What are we arguing about now?

How sexy my monocle is.

I think it's very sexy. Thoughts?

[BRC]

How sexy my monocle is.

I think it's very sexy. Thoughts?

I agree, but it could be sexier.

[-skimmer-]

How sexy my monocle is.

I think it's very sexy. Thoughts?

I think i--wait what?

[The Gremlin]

What are we arguing about now?

Whether the cake is a lie.
And it is.

[Mina Kobold]

How sexy my monocle is.

I think it's very sexy. Thoughts?

I just think it look like a cat-eye... CUPCAKES!!!!

[Threeshades]

How sexy my monocle is.

I think it's very sexy. Thoughts?

Let's over analyze it!

Given that sexiness is measured by the average of possible healthy bodily proportions, and with that symmetry, you monocle is the very opposite of sexy, since it makes you asymmetrical.

[Grim ranger]

I have to say that I never saw that monocle anything else than plain weird. Sexy? Far from it (and yes, this comes from a guy who is universally seen as having no face )

Am I alone thinking that threeshades is hot, by the way? Or that we really, really need that tv tropes page?

[Nameless]

How sexy my monocle is.

I think it's very sexy. Thoughts?

It's the kind of thing that would be raped if alone in the city.

[Fawkes]

Am I alone thinking that threeshades is hot, by the way?

Dude, everyone thinks that.

[Falgorn]

Dude, everyone thinks that.

Thinks what? That the cake is a lie? No, GlAdOs wouldn't lie about something so serious! She planned to give the cake to your charred ashes once your died in a pit of fire!

[Tiffanie Lirle]

How sexy my monocle is.

I think it's very sexy. Thoughts?

The whole monocle thing is so late 19th century.

You should get like.. a sunglass monocle.

Whether the cake is a lie.
And it isn't.

Damn straight.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Am I alone thinking that threeshades is hot, by the way?

Nope, in fact people of many genders think that.

[Lemming]

Nope, in fact people of many genders think that.

And many people without genders. Don't forget worms and aliens!

[Falgorn]

How very shrewd. But worms are not smart enough to comprehend beauty. And beauty is the eye of the beholder, like that episode of... The Twilight Zone.

FFF:

Spoiler

Little attempt to make us busy while fighting shades....I hope there can be different kinds of shades minions

And yes, it is some kind of "reverse gravity sphere". Magic items are supposed to make us look cool, aren't they?

People keep messing up the shades patterns:
White: Leaders
Red: Mages
Purple: Melee

And this is why ABR is so awesome
