Chevaleresse

Matrim hurried off to the west as quickly as he could without disturbing the unconscious man on his shoulders.

"What happened to wandering knights-errant being welcomed wherever the winds might carry them?" Xavier wondered alound. "What our companion says is true. We're here to speak with an acquaintance, and the reason our party is so large is because the roads have not been safe as of late."

Zagan that last part is bullshit and you know that. If anything, this whole mess is worse BECAUSE he was black, because no one cares if white people are discriminated against. I was with you the entire way until you said that. The guy was black so the cops were accused of racism, which is an extremely heated issue, so people escalated it from perceived police brutality to a perceived hate crime by an authority figure.

*cough*pseudorng*cough* literally all the game needs is a mechanic to balance out streaks, especially since crits ignore negative modifiers now e.g. if i've attacked ten times already and gotten zero crits at 1/8 chance, there should be a mechanic that ensures i'll get a crit within the next couple attacks conversely, if I have critted three times in the last four attacks I shouldn't get any for a while

(1+4 because the gm loves falcons) YOU SPAWN AS A GIANT PEREGRINE FALCON TRAINED FOR WAR (1+another +4 because falcons) YOU SNATCH AT THE GOBLIN'S HEAD AND THE SEVERED PART SAILS OFF IN AN ARC GOBLIN ACTION: (1) ONE OF THEM VIOLENTLY EXPLODES, WOUNDING SEVERAL OTHER GOBLINS GOBLIN STATUS: VERY AFRAID

I'm going to say a few things here, and I don't care if you think one contradicts the others. One. Rejecting an idea because of who proposes it is stupid. Formally stupid, in fact; that's tantamount to what you call an ad hominem attack, which is a logical fallacy, which is a fancy way of saying it's a really poor and unethical way to argue, which is a polite way of calling people who use it stupid. Two. Individualism is great, yeah, I get it. I'm an individualist and a nonconformist. However, being different for the sake of being different is also stupid. The whole point of individualism, even when applied to a community, is to ensure that one can be healthy by being oneself, not to show how fancy and special you are. Three. Tossing insults around instead of actual discussion as I've seen happen in every goddamn thread about competitive battling on this forum is also stupid. Responding to "I think wifi clause is good" with "lol that argument sucks so fuck you" is toxic, and I know toxic. This also applies to suggestions. tl;dr stop bitching at each other and have a civil discussion so I don't have to start cursing on this forum any more With that out of the way, I support the idea of making wifi clause the default, and having a separate tier for no preview. People who are that bent about wifi clause can use the no-preview tier. Team preview is more competitive in my humble opinion due to the elimination of gimmicks and it tests each player more. Limiting the information available to the player when they have no way to find said information before it sweeps half of their team a la Genesect makes for a very frustrating and very uncompetitive experience. Without preview, you could feasibly pull off well-known gimmicks like FEAR Rattata and Aron, and it makes it basically impossible to run more niche pokes such as Shedinja because you can't really determine if there's a threat to them without burning through valuable HP and turns scouting them. This isn't a RTS where scouting is simple and easy; every single member of your team needs to do something important, and each is invaluable.

(1) YOU STALK RIGHT INTO AN EXPLODING MECHA YOU HAVE BEEN STRUCK DOWN (3) YOU TACKLE THE GOBLINS THE GOBLINS ARE CONFUSED (2-2) YOU EJECT YOUR BRAIN YOU HAVE BEEN STRUCK DOWN. GOBLIN STATUS: CONFUSED AND SLIGHTLY BRUISED

oh my god MMBN was the most amazing thing anyway though I'm a hot redheaded chick who likes the wind and shooting people neat

THe chat thread is here. This thread is for submissions only. No, really, I'll get Hukuna to bite you if you don't follow the rules. (Well, I don't think he bites, but I will ask for deletion.)

dude wtf is this I'll tell you. This is going to be a part of a series of writing exercises that I'll run weekly, or as I am able. Basically, I'll give everyone here a writing prompt, and whoever feels like participating can write up a short story based on that prompt. This particular one is going to be run pretty often, mostly because it's pretty easy to find new prompts. So how does it work? I'll post a song to start this one. You write up a story based on it. The recommended minimum is five good-sized paragraphs, though you can certainly go longer and exceptions can be made for outstandingly well-written stories that are shorter. As stories come up, the community can pop in and vote based on two categories: how well it fulfills the prompt, and how well-written the story is overall. When you vote, PLEASE tell the person at least one thing that stood out, and one thing that could use work. Heaping praise on someone doesn't make them a better writer, but neither does completely ripping them a new one. After a week passes (this one will run until the 29th), we choose the winner, and the winner chooses the new prompt (and if they're really nice they'll post the new thread and manage it). This doesn't bar you from competition. So what's the prompt then? Anything else? Yeah. This will be the voting/review/chat thread, I'll put up a separate thread for stories. One more thing. I'll have a side competition for those that simply want to write characters based on the week's prompt. The two aren't mutually exclusive and have the same rules, though there's no real reward for winning other than nonexistent murdoc points. (If we really want to track these we can but idc.) I'd strongly encourage doing both, simply for the writing exercise.

I feel the same way, though if we were playing entire teams I'd also be game.

oh if we're doing teams then I'd totally play Team Normal/Flying Swellow, the charismatic and rather headstrong leader Staraptor, the reserved, skillful fighter Braviary, the stereotypical loud tough guy Pidgeot, the calm, spiritual one brb looking up tvtropes for the rest

I'll probably start as a Taillow/Swellow.

Not to be overly critical, but Jake randomly mentioning having to kill someone comes off as a little crazy. If that was your intention, then there's no issue.

DOn't you think that last post was a bit. . . much?

I was just stopping by to say that Cain is awesome.

(2) YOU SPAWN AS A WAR BOBCAT (5) YOU FIND MANY DELICIOUS SACRIFICES, +1 TO ALL ROLLS FOR THE NEXT TWO TURNS (3) YOU DON'T HAVE HANDS BUT WHATEVER YOU PICK UP THE LOOT (2) YOU FOUND GOBLINS

Sarcus turned to walk back to the building, waiting for Lionel to catch up to him. "You did good," he said to the other trainer. "It's hard to do this sort of thing, especially if you're not used to it. If a dragon-type is young enough, the best way to show that you're in charge is usually beating them one-on-one, but I always hated that. I've never been all that physical, yeah, but I felt like I was hurting them, even though they were fine afterward." The lanky teen shrugged. "Do you ever get the feeling that you get along better with animals than people?" Max shouted to Grace as she dashed off, "I'll beat you there!" The trainer flew off as quickly as his feet could carry him toward the gym.

Of course.

(3) YOU SPAWN AS A MEMBER OF SEAL TEAM 6 (6) YOU SEARCH SO THOROUGHLY THAT YOU REALIZE BIN LADEN IS IN THE REAL WORLD YOU LEAVE THIS UNIVERSE (3-1) YOURE A MECHA SO IT JUST MESSES UP YOUR CIRCUITS YOU NOW HAVE -2 TO ALL ROLLS (6) YOU SPAWN AS A MONSTER SO LARGE THAT YOU CANNOT SUPPORT YOUR OWN WEIGHT YOU HAVE BEEN STRUCK DOWN.

Your colors are a little "leaky" for what amounts to colored lineart but it looks good imo.

IT'S A DARK FORTRESS SO ITS FILLED WITH GOBLINS BUT OK (1+1) YOUR DAKKA EXPLODES IN YOUR FACE -1 TO ALL ROLLS

That's rather childish, since literally no one has disputed any of the information you've presented; you've just gotten explanations as to why particular people held a certain opinion.
