I don't know half of what you just said, but REAL MEN SURVIVE WITH DIAL-UP!  It's like going camping with only a combat knife and the clothes on your back!

+1 RESPECT 4 j00!

What the hell are you talking about? I used dial up internet until 2005....

anywho, good for you Steve. I hope you enjoy the wonder that is fast internets. Enjoy it, and play Neverwinter Nights, and other such games that really do require better than dial up.

Edit:
In fact, Fast internet is the main reason I left this forum back in 2005. Because I could play Neverwinter Nights in an online manner, and other games. You know, and not lag the hell out every 5 seconds or some such. Ah, but now I've got spotty wireless, so I'm back to what I was doing in my dial up days, posting on forums and passing the time with browser based games.

I doubt any of you but albel would recognize me, as the last time I was meandering around this RP was back on the previous forum...waaaay back in 2005 or so. Ah, back then I played a master archer turned hobo, and his navi....an archer. The mean police took poor hoboman's bow. Oh, he was a character that didn't fit into the RP at all. Back in the days when you got a cannon and a shotgun as your starter chips. When you needed 4 chips per level...and when the minibomb advance (minibomb X3) was allowed. Oh those were strange days, and the battle system was similar but oh so different. In any case, I've come back after this long because Albel told me about it. And I've made a new character. Why? well...for one it's not like my old character was really that much better off than a starting character around here. And two: I felt that I should make an RP appropriate character. A character with a job.

In any case, After two years of being gone and having no idea what happened, I've come back to poke my head around here and try to get some interesting RP's going.

and yes, I realize I probably should have posted this a few weeks ago.

Pol stood there, in his dramatic pose for a good thirty minutes. He chewed upon his straw, one end of the golden strand bouncing around and leaving tiny golden sparkles in it's wake. The sparkles disappeared after a few moments, and did nothing save looking pretty. Pol waved to a few navi's as they passed, then he slid his feet down to the sides of the metool, his feet holding the metool down by pressure on the sides of the helmet.

Pol then leaned down and placed his fingers around the edge of the metool's hat. In one quick motion he tried to pick the metool up by slipping his fingers under the helmet and pressing his palm against the outside. His aim was to pick the met up, and bring it upside down over his head with his arms extended fully and his hands holding firmly.

Around the time that Pol began this attempt, Yamazaru checked his PET. It was his coffee break, and he was sipping a steaming cup of tea as he noticed the signal that Pol is in battle. He calmly checked the timer, then his eyes went wide. He set the tea down and quickly checked in on Pol. "What are you up to!? you've been in battle for thirty minutes, what...why didn't you tell me? you could have been hurt and I wouldn't have...you were hurt! why didn't you tell me?"

Pol sighed and replied, " oh stop worrying and get me a hat already. You know I want to look dark and mysterious with a hat and a cape and stuff. Besides, it only hit me in the shins, I'll fix myself up after I have my fun with this Met."

Yamazaru sighed, " you know that's really irresponsible. What would you have done if you got swarmed by mets? or what if this one screams out and summons a metswarm, or the big bad met of doom? "

Pol chuckled," you know those are just rumors...no one has been hit by a swarm of mets in ages, and the big bad met of doom is just a legend. It's not real, it's like the easter bunny, or pixie fairies."

Yamazaru looked shocked, and leaned back in his chair. He placed a hand on his chest, and leaned back, " How dare you deny the existence of pixie fairies! They surely are real, as sure as santa!"

Pol held back a snicker, his cheeks puffing a bit as he held his lips tightly closed. He then bursts out in laughter and closes his eyes. The piece of straw fell from his mouth, and wafted slowly to the ground as he tried hard to keep from dropping the met. Sadly, he failed. His hands moved to his sides as he held them and doubled over in laughter. The met fell from Pol's grasp and smacked into the back of his head. It would have a prime chance of firing off a blast directly into Pol as it fell.

As he dropped the met on his own head, Yamazaru chuckled and said, " that's what you get for not believing in pixie fairies. If you need a chip, just say so."

This is of course, all contingent on Pol catching the Met. If it scurried away, he would be busy chasing after it while bent over, saying things like "C'mere you."

Actions spent:
1) attempt to grab/capture the met
2) Action spent talking and laughing.
3) Dropping met on own head.

Edited into past tense.

So none of you think then that subtypes are relatively meaningless in actual practicality?

It would seem that I am the only one who dislikes that melee users aren't better with swords and that recovery isn't actually really better at recovery.

Actually...they ARE. The sword subtype lets you dodge for free once per round if you do two melee attacks. That shows that they are 'better' at swordiness. The fact that the recovery navi can convert damage to healing power is, in itself, powerful. It's the only subtype that can do anything like that. I do however like the idea of having navicust programs that can add power to natural subtype abilities.

Sword: perhaps a +5 bonus to damage with sword attacks? (sword mastery)
Cursor: again, a bonus to damage would possibly be appropriate (gunslinger)
Break: extra break per round? (smasher)
Wind: perhaps a constant hovering ability? or the power to walk/run/stand on walls? (flippy the wonder dog)
Normal: perhaps a boost to hidden power. the normal adds 10 + 1/2 level rounded down to nearest 5. Perhaps the upgrade could be just 10+1/2 level. (pulling a gohan)
Recovery: An upgrade to the healing conversion rate would make sense here. Perhaps 3/4 conversion rate. Or the ability to specialize and convert full damage to healing on self or others. But at the cost of being able to heal the other kind as effectively. Example: Heal other specialist could heal others at full conversion, but self at only 1/4th rate. Heal self specialist could heal themself at full conversion, but others at only 1/4th.
(Doctor. or, Specialist)

The main problem I can see is balancing the navicust points to be used, as well as the recovery bonuses. Allowing only the 'healing other' specialist navicust would make sense. Because then you don't have a bunch of people who are making recovery subtypes so that they can run around being the invincible tank or something.

(Lol, idk. The older systems, such as those I was able to see, although not actually experience [Been around since about...August 06? Yeah, around there.], were pretty whack, so it's entirely possible if this dude is from the times of old, but I digress. As is, the game is pretty awesome and win, so let's not dwell on misunderstandings too much, k?)

oh yeah. The system in the early times was pretty crazy. took a turn to slot a chip and use it. In any case, please continue Common. If you need someone to vouch for me about how long ago I was here last, Ask Albel.

Quote (commondragon)

........You dont use an entire action just to slot in a chip.

It would be:

1) Cannon chip Koboclone A
2) aim
3) Minibomb Koboclone A
4) dodge

Or something similar

Edit please :3.

really? they've changed things....you used to have to spend an action to slot a chip. edited.

(PA Note: Lolwut? I don't know when this was, but unless this site had this up for some of the 6 months before I was here, there was never a system like that being implemented on RECN or RERN. And that's a definite no on RERN.)

The Crazy hobo slots in a cannon and a minibomb, causing one of marksman's arms to morph into a medieval cannon, and the minibomb appears in his hand as a cannonball.

Marksman loads the minibomb into the cannon, Lines up his shot, and fires at koboclone A.

actions
1) cannon chip & minibomb chip. Action spent looking badass
2) Action spent combining the chips.
3) action spent aiming
4) Fire the combo at koboclone A. 100 damage? (60 minibomb, 40 cannon)

I still log in to the freeshard for ultima online from time to time. If my internet connection strength wasn't buggered I could send the install file to anyone who wanted it, as is it would annihilate my connection with it's 750 megs of pure, old school win.

Besides, the easist way to be neutral is to stay out of it.

Unless someone wants to trash BOTH sides in all their fights, as well as their partner...

Why did I just get a mental picture of Eon?

because it fits EON? true...I suppose I'll just stick with trying to tame a metool. It's going on in Electown at the moment, and yes, I know it won't really work.

Quote (darkstar1006)

waaay late for that. event started, three people got lucky and got to join in, but i'm pretty sure no one else is allowed in, besides, i'm doubtful a brand new member would last very long in this event. no offence Sagetim.

oh no, he wouldn't be fighting...he would be walking about and posing dramatically. possibly healing people who look hurt and like they would appreciate it.

oh well.

Quote (Niax)

yeah, I'm slaughtering for the mafia...

no Idea about my partner yet, of if he'll actually contineue...

are their other navis that need to get in around my level?

perferably with the same goals...

I think I forgot to sign up and make a character before this all started. Is there a place to sign up for the event?

as well, Pol would be neutral, and it would be difficult to motivate him to necessarily join an actual side.

Pol rubbed his shin, then moved to jump on top of the metool and stand on it's hat. If his massive hieght advantage would have any effect, it would hopefully push the methat into the ground. Should he manage to stand on the methat, he would pose dramatically. His arms across his chest, his legs straight, and his heels touching at a 90 degree angle on the middle of the hat. The edges of his left foot would cover over one metool's eyes, and the right foot laying over the metool's right side. If he had a cape on, it would wave dramatically in the wind.

Should his attempt to hop on top of the metool fail, he would take a few extra steps, swinging his hips and performing a bit of footwork to use a tenkan, and move to a stop facing the metool.
He would then shuffle up quickly and give a halfhearted kick aimed for the space between the edge of the metool's hat and it's tiny body.

1) stand on methat. no damage, possibly disabling methat from attacking or moving.
2) only used if he doesn't land on the metool: Footwork. not technically dodging unless the metool is amused by fancy feet.
3) only used if he can't stand on the metool: custom weapon attack 'unarmed strike' normal buster damage cut in half due to lack of motivation. resulting in a small kick to the face of the metool.

Pol shrugs, and looks at the metool for a bit. He then moves in to slap it. All the while he chews on his piece of straw. As he slaps at the metool, he says in a halfhearted voice, " bad methat. No being...all...oh who cares. I slap you."

1) first action spent staring at metool. Nothing happens
2) tactical movement to metool. Nothing happens
3) basic attack for half damage due to lack of motivation.

Pol meanders around the Electown net. He is currently unsupervised, and meanders aimlessly with a piece of straw sticking out between the bandages over his mouth, the fluffy end twitching as he chews on the other end.

((halfheartedly searching for battle #1))

Riding along on his segway, Yamazaru bobs his head as he drives. Headphones in his ears and his head moving to the beat of " Born to be wild." He pays attention to traffic signals, and rides along until he gets to his destination. He hops his segway onto the sidewalk and rides up to the door of an office building.

Next, he knocks on the door of the building, gaining entrance by waving his ID card and keyboard at the door guard. He then walks along to his office, snapping his fingers to the beat, swaggering his hips, and swaying his labcoat to the music. Just as the refrain to the song (Booooooooooorn to be wiiiiIIIIlllllD!) plays in his headphones the strange programmer jacks in to the building's net. As he gets started on maintaining the system with code repairs, Pol is logged into the building.

After looking around at the mostly featureless area, Pol looks up through the screen of the PET at Yamazaru, " why do you always bring me here? can't you just let me wander the net or something while you're at work? it's not like viruses ever attack...or maybe give this place some terrain...like a tree....or a small pond. Maybe a few fishes?"

Yamazaru smirked, " you know they'd yell at me for doing much. Clutter the system or some such. Or did you forget what happened when I made a cloud for you in here? You said it looked like a pansy and it got mad and started throwing lightning at you..."

Pol shook his head, " well yeah, you used sloppy programming and made it look like a flower. What was I supposed to do? say it looked like a bunny? Come on, at least if I can wander I might find someone to talk to. Or get an entourage with which to wander. "

Yamazaru looked around in a shifty eyed manner, then shrugged, " fine. But if you get in a fight you know the drill. run, dodge, and avoid them until you can get my attention. Or, you know...maybe actually fight?"

Pol sighed. Then motioned to Yamazaru, " could you at least give me a piece of straw to chew then? It might be a boring day...and that would certainly be an ice breaker."

Yamazaru nodded, then called up a few lines of programming he had made for Pol months ago, materializing a slender golden strand of straw for Pol to chew on. Pol took this and left to the electown net. Leaving Yamazaru to his work.

Name: Pol
Gender: Male
Element: Normal
Type: Recovery
Appearance: Pol is a tall navi. If he were a real person, he would be a gaunt 7ft tall. His pants are long and baggy around his ankles, and his shoes are one piece, no strings. He wears a white baggy shirt that covers down to his elbows. His arms, hands, and face are covered by bandages. One of his eyes is covered by a bandage, while the other is is a bright green. His hair is not covered by bandages, and spikes out from his head. It is a dark green color.

Personality: Subdued. He rarely shows emotion for things. He might hug someone, or ruffle hair, or be nice to a kid. However he is generally not very motivated in what he does. He'll follow commands, but won't do anything to his full ability unless properly motivated. In simple terms: he dials down the damage of any weapon or item he uses to half power unless he feels like fighting, and he rarely feels like fighting. He is a recovery type navi, and in battle prefers to dodge, avoid, and heal others instead of being the one to destroy things.

Custom Weapon: Fist/foot. Unarmed attacks. Melee range, standard damage.
Signature Attack: His signature attack would be unlikely to be used, as he would be unmotivated to activate it.

Should his signature attack be activated, he holds out one of his arms, aiming the palm at the target. The bandages around the arm burst off and float around his arm, which is shown to be perfectly healthy, save for strange green tattoos that run up and down along it's length. The tattoo's glow, and pulses of energy run down the tattoo's to his palm, where they gather in a green orb. The orb then fires off into a bead sized blast that travels extremely quickly, and leaves a short lived line leading from his palm to wherever the bead impacts. Once the bead impacts, the beam widens and does damage. Afterwards the bandages fall to the side and pol generally takes the time to rewrap his arm.

the basic 60 damage and 2 round cooldown. It just looks cooler than a bigger buster shot.

Again, Pol will not use his signature attack unless he is seriously motivated for some reason or another.

When he uses the converted recovery version of his signature move, it instead appears as a flash of green energy running down his arm and into the target navi. His bandages do not go flying out, and his arm remains covered.

Likes: hats, pieces of straw that he can chew on. books. capes.
Dislikes: mean people. viruses. and from time to time, clouds.

Navicust:
unequipped:
equipped: undershrt, atk +1, Charge +1, Charge +1, Rapid +1, Rapid +1
Navicust remaining 0/40

extra charge and rapids inherited from old forums

Name: Yamazaru Kagakusha
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Appearance: He's usually found dressed in a white lab coat, slightly baggy blue pants, and a red polo shirt. He wears a pair of square glasses whose lenses cover his eyes. The rim of the glasses is stainless steel. His hair is dark brown, short, and combed back at most times. His eyes are a deep jade. His skin is pasty white, and if he spent time outside he would get a tan, and his hair would change to a coppery color. He is slight (wimpy) of build, and has the air of a scholar. If he's well employed, he always stands tall and has a smile on his face, towering over many people at 6'10. If he's broke, unemployed, or has a reason to be depressed, he slouches and walks with a very strange bent leg gait that makes him appear to be around 6'0.

Personality: Strange, if nothing else. He will follow his whims, seemingly at random. He generally analyzes things and takes time to plan ahead. On the times that he doesn't plan ahead, he acts on guy instinct. This is generally if he's drunk and programming something. He tends to shy away from booze, the last time he was drunk and allowed near electronics he built a taser out of a potato and some headphones.

PET Modifications: It has a keyboard attachment. It's solid grey. It has wheels on it's side that allow Pol to drive it around at a maximum speed of 15 mph. Which is about how fast a normal person can sprint. Pol usually doesn't care to pilot his PET unless he's escaping someone.

Note: he has a job. He does computer programming. He has a PHD.

Edit: Just realized I can claim old forum benefits...not that I'll have many.

Ahem...anywho, thank you, and I will be off to the profile land, linking to my sig, and the introduction of Yamazaru and Pol.
