As always, you have my support. If you want to simplify the battle system or modify it in some way, I will be eager enough to assist you.

But I would really like if you enjoyed it too, like the others above have said.

You can go ahead with change if you think it's needed. I don't mind too much, as long as the spirit of the RP stays the same.

The spirit of the RP is pedantic dicussions, interrupted by occasional battle planning and tits. Why would you want to maintain that?

Dracorion · 12-28-2011, 02:45 AM

Because the tits are good?

In any case, I guess I should add my opinion, probably?

You, uh, should totes do whatever is fun for you, AB. Like, don't worry about the rest of us or whatever.

Arright, how'd I do guys?

Aldurin · 12-28-2011, 02:51 AM

Horribly, Drac.

Geminex · 12-28-2011, 09:53 AM

Good effort, poor delivery, terrible showmanship, 3/10.

Anyway, to sum up.
Gem: Change shit until you like it! Alternately, burn the whole RP down!
Bard: Change shit until you like it!
Mern: Change shit until you like it!
Dante: Change shit until you like it!
Drac: Change shit until you like it!
Earl: You have my permission to change shit until you like it, unless said changes should infringe upon the vaguely-defined essence of the game.

I'd like to applaud earl for his generosity.

Anyway, seems to be pretty unanimous! We all agree that AB's enjoyment is totally important, and that the him hating battles is not a good idea! In other words, the players aren't entirely horrible. I shouldn't be surprised, but I am.

Regardless, maybe we can make this fun for everyone after all. Question is, how? Pure freestyle? Do we try to come up with a much simpler system, maybe something d-20 based? What'd work best? It might be good to hear from everyone on this, including AB. And me. No longer a player and all, but, as much as it would sate my ego to see the RP collapse in the course of the mission during which I leave for good, I wanna see this end well. So let's hear some ideas.

Aldurin · 12-28-2011, 01:17 PM

Let's not throw it out for what passes as a battle system in Trollslum. My thoughts on it mainly revolve around a smaller standard battle formation, and looking through the mechanics to find anything that can be thrown out or merged to streamline the post-making.

Finishing up now. My older brother who I'm staying with now didn't wanna pay for the Internet (which makes sense to me since all he uses it for is surfing bitches on Facebook, although I guess to him that's actually important and worthwhile) but wouldn't get off his ass to get it working again even though I offered to pay for it despite the late charges. So I didn't have Internet access since last Wednesday.

Krunder side to be posted tonight after some proof reading and coloring text and a last bit of dialogue between Eldys and a new member of the Hexagon Harem, Lathiron side done tomorrow. A thousand and one humble apologies and painful repentences, my dark masters. Oh well, at least I gotta lotta Valkyrie Profile 2 gaming done. Man, having Brahms, Hrist and Lenneth join the party for the final dungeon was pure joy. I dunno why I never finished this game sooner. Oh wait. XBox 360 was why. Curse you, Tales of Vesperia!

Menarker · 01-05-2012, 03:34 PM

Just glad to have you back AB.

Astral Harmony · 01-05-2012, 07:32 PM

Okay, post done, and yes, I know, post terrible. Had some trouble since I ended up directing a number of Krunder's attacks (well, pretty much all to them) to units who were only participating due to Impact's CCC. Not anyone's fault, I just need to concentrate more.

Most likely a handful of problems which I'm sure Menarker's sniper perfect eyes will no doubt discover, so let me know how badly I fucked up and I'll get on it once I'm in the middle of reading doujins or whatever.

Lathiron to be done late tomorrow night or sometime the day after.
