Y'know, I can't help noticing that that plan really hasn't changed very much at all. I thought I made suggestions? I'm sure I made suggestions.

I've stated that Mirror really shouldn't be constucting. If he does construct, it should be an aplifier. Evoliths just don't pay off in this situation. But we hardly need any more attack power than we already have. And defensive amplfiers won't pay off. So just let him wait for now.

Shedninja's gonna go down in a single killdoll blow. Really not worth it. Armaldo's fine, but there's no reason not to use Whitney. She can't get knocked out, and our opponents can't do status. She's safe, she can attack quite powerfully. What's the problem?

I'll think about Kurika or Impact. Although, why on earth would we use two sweeps? I mean honestly! Rage isn't free anymore, we're gonna have to work for it! Sweep gives you one extra attack for 25 rage. We have way better deals than that.

This battle's not gonna be easy, of course! But it's really, really not a good use of resources to go all-in like this.
I'm all in favor of all-ins, mind you. As long as the odds are right. But here? Nah.
Gotta know when to hold em, gotta know when to fold em. Gotta know when to walk away, gotta know when to run. I just decided that Impact's an awesome poker player.

Anyway, let's hold for now. See what they've got, how strong they really are. Then we can go all-in, if the situation warrants it.

And in regards to that last comment, look, antagonizing me with that kind of comment is Drac's job not yours. Unless you've actually forgotten about the whole 'weather effects' discusion? I don't think you have. If gravity's a weather effect, it'll get balanced along with all the other weather effects. If it isn't, it should get restricted to three targets.

Do we really want to see the bottom of the barrel? I mean, I'm usually the first one to go for something like that, but in this case it has the potential to go disasterous. And not fun disaster, either.
Y'know what? Let's do this. Let's go all-out, over-the-top. Let's jump Jaws.
Because heh, y'know what's a disaster? Trying to keep this logical and respectable. And y'know what'd be an even bigger disaster? If we succeeded.

I said a while ago that my goal when role-playing is to write a good story. There's more than one way to do that. And over-the-top? That's certainly a way. TTGL did it. Homestuck is doing it. Why not try to follow in their footsteps?

Mind you, all-out doesn't mean uncontrolled, or shit. If we do it this way, it'll probably take more thought than it used to, since we'd be on a fine line of awesome above a gorge of ridiculousness. Let's retain some basic logic, make the characters, the conflicts believable. It's very easy to justify things, and it's easy to hand-wave stuff if they're uninteresting compared to the boobs and explosions. This would take rather a lot of coordination. But heh, if we put effort into it, I'd be surprised if we didn't pull it off. I mean, come to think of it, AB's been writing it this way since the second mission. If we support him, come up with our own wacky stuff, justify each others things...

we could do this man
we cuold make this hapen
