Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XIII, No Plot for YOU!

[Bayar]

I've been waiting about a month for 3s to respond to my FFF thing.

Well, that's what you get for succombing to the plot. You barely do random killings nowadays....

[Mad Mask]

Has the citadel's Jovocian turbine been shown anywhere? Trying to figure out what it looks like.

Well, I don't know if that counts, but in Remember™ there was the Jovocian Generators.

[Emperor Ing]

those guys were the ONLY casualties of the damn battle.

No. They were resurrected afterwards and lived for another googol years.

[memnarch]

Happy Birthday Threeshades!

[Emperor Ing]

Lying, your arcaneanessicity is no longer that special.
I got a really wierd idea for a comic.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Well, I don't know if that counts, but in Remember™ there was the Jovocian Generators.

They're a little different to that, I could draw a schematic if necessary

[memnarch]

Well, after forgetting it a while, Hurt/Heal has been updated.

Note, I haven't seen Yeril for a while, so I'm taking suggestions on his God Powers via PM.

[Emperor Ing]

Here's your ideas
"..." +2 to (whoever everybody votes for)
"..." -2 to (whoever everybody votes for)

[Mad Mask]

Since everyone appeared to have some kind of writer's block, I figured I could make a comic concluding the Rescue Leroy Arc. But first, I have a question. What would be your character's next course of action ? Leaving the ship ? Fighting Threeshades (and being beaten) ? Something else ?

I'm hoping to have something quick by the end of today, but that's becoming more and more unlikely.

Lying, having recovered Leroy and Salmon, would now seek to leave the Vendetta before the Shades ascertain his location and place everyone in the group in peril.

The probe might find him sooner though. If it finds a hole like a rivet it can slip through as liquid matter (Hence the analytic spittle).

[memnarch]

Speaking of the Shades, did anything really happen besides them collapsing on the floor in a state that looks dead?

[Tiffanie Lirle]

As far as I can tell, nope.

Might not want to get too close anyways, seeing what happened to Megadoomer and all..

Was that canon?

Edit-

Would be helpful.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Would be helpful.

There we go.

Guys, I've got some bad news. I'm going to cease participating in FFF and SDSB for a little while, to practice my art. If anybody could draw my character dodging NC and teleporting away saying he had 'some things to attend to', I'd really appreciate it.
In the meantime, I'll be focusing on SW and my backstory comic.
Sorry guys, my art just isn't good enough at the moment. I'll return when I can draw a chocobo attacking a cat.

[Wreckingrocc]

Just use inkscape. Rush through Trazoi's guide quickly, make one comic for your backstory (which will take more than 3 hours if you're new), and you should be good to go.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Just use inkscape.

THAT'S YOUR ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING! THAT'S ALL YOU "INKSCAPE PEOPLE" SAY!

Maybe people like using their own art programs! Maybe Gremlin's Microsoft Paint art is great as it is! Maybe the Microsoft Paint is what makes Gremlin's art so great!

INKSCAPE ISN'T ALWAYS THE ANSWER!

(Note, I'm not actually angry. It's exaggerating how I feel.)

[memnarch]

Meh, you should use more and next time. that one works to


Also, the answer is always 42.

Well, duh! Everybody knows that! I originally thought of that idea, you know!
TND, I've stated the reason that I don't use Inkscape quite often here. Whoops, did I say 'reason'? I meant, 'reasons' As in, two of them.
Number one: I have practiced a lot at Paint and it would take me a lot of time to get used to Inkscape, time which I wouldn't have because
Number two: Inkscape hates my computer. My computer hates Inkscape. They have sworn blood-oaths against each other. Inkscape won't stay open 2 minutes before crashing. Paint is my only option. That, or spend money on something I can't afford.
Also: Clone Week is over already!

Also, the answer is always 54.

Fixed for you.

[memnarch]

I don't get it.

Sigh....
#1: Stop using the opacity and blur tools that much. Also refrain from copying too many objects.
#2: Save often. It only happens every once in a while if you use it right...
#3: There's a limit to Microsoft Paint's quality. It takes much longer to do a worse job. I'd know from experience. There is absolutely no way you can do as good a job in paint in the same amount of time. If you saw what inkscape could do, you would switch immediately.

With my original draft for SnD, each 6-panel comic took about 12 hours, and they didn't look a tenth as good as my four-hour inkscape versions.

If you don't want to use inkscape, find another SVG program. Use photoshop. Find Fireworks. Just don't use microsoft's thrown-together-in-15-minutes basic program. I will bet you $5 that if inkscape stops crashing on your computer and you learn how to use it, your first comic will be better than your best paint comic, even with all of your 'experience', and it will be done faster.

Q, you haven't seen what inkscape can do, so you have no rights to tell us to stop suggesting it. Plus, downloading doesn't work how your paranoia thinks it does. Pretty much the only way you can download a virus is if you follow all of the following steps:
1) You download some 'antivirus software' for a bunch of money on some crooked website because the web browser says you have a virus
2) You don't have a reliable antivirus program
3) You don't read what the download is of
4) You shut off all of your antivirus programs before the download
5) You run the virus
That's all you have to do. As long as you know what it is you're downloading, it can have no effect on your computer. The way most viruses work has to do with their RAM usage. Most viruses will automatically run once activated and chew through your RAM, and with appropriate antiviral software, you can easily terminate them before they begin to run.

If you wish, I will do a screenshot-tutorial of inkscape to show you the features and steps to making whatever it is you want to make.

[memnarch]

@ Tnd;
A) That might help, unless the computer isn't quite capable of running at the specifications Inkscape requires.
B) Q has seen what Inkscape can do; he reads the webcomics around here, the majority of which are probably made by Inkscape (or at least indistinguishable from it). He wants to use his program, just like Nameless likes to use his.
C) Don't take it personally.

finishing the lettering of my comic.

#1: It crashes all by itself. It has nothing to do with blurring.
#2: I'm not planning on saving every 5 seconds just because some people are telling me to use a program that I don't even want.
#3: I've seen what Inkscape can do. I've downloaded it. I don't want to use it. Is that too hard to understand? I am 10 times better at Paint than I am at Inkscape, or Fireworks, or whatever.
#4:Ah, yes! Great idea! I'll go down to my invisible money stash in Fairyland so I can buy a program when I'm perfectly happy with what I already have!
Look, I'm happy with Paint. Quit bugging me about these so-called 'better' programs that you have which, by the way, crash on my PC.

To those who noticed: yes, I used a new template for Tvor. I didn't like the old one.

[memnarch]

Nice parallels there KP.

Well, given its origin, Alphantica's foreign policy has been heavily influenced by the need to not suffer Arcania's fate of being wiped off the face of Avabaroy.
