Pokemon Umbral Discussion 36: Questions Are Overrated - Page 11

Since I no longer have to read back a thousand post to remember the general details that you posted before?

Yes.

And by the way, I can see a part right there at the end of your first guideline that Menarker's going to want to argue.

Look, we've already discussed this. Valiant rush will be acceptable, since
a) it's at least somewhat thematic
and
b) it fits in with Renny's general strategy. It makes sense for him to protect and heal his allies as the battle drags on, and getting more and more dangerous as more allies fall. It's a pretty defensive ability, even if it doesn't involve healing directly.

So that wouldn't fail the specialization test. It's also likely, from my perspective, that it wouldn't change combat drastically, since, like I said, it'd simply expand Renny's defensive role in a creative way. I'm right behind that sort of thing!
The only thing I'm not entirely certain about is the 'power' test, but we'd best see that once the ability actually gets chosen. And hell, we can still nerf or buff it if it turns out to be a bit too strong or too weak. Worst-case, we just subtract or add from/to the rage cost.

...

That is what you meant, right?

Riiiight.

I also like how you say you won't be able to police the rules so you'll have to trust us, yet somehow it seems like you have a lot of time now. And I thought your schedule was only going to get even clearer?

Last two weeks: I did a math course
Now, and next four weeks: Vacation with family
Next five years after that: College

And I will probably have even less time during college than I did during the math course. Because I won't just be at college from 8:00 till 4:30 - 6:00 (depending on the day), getting home 45 minutes later, no, I will also have to do what we in Germany like to call 'homework'! And considering this is college, it will be more important that the stuff I used to call homework. So I will actually have to do it!

Mind you, I'll only spend half of every year at uni, the other half'll be spent working as an employee of a certain company which I will not name because I don't trust any of you not to try and track me down. It's part of the program I'm doing, college is especially intense and I have barely any holidays, but I get a salary and I actually get to gather practical experience (and not 'making the coffee' experience either, I'll be studying Electrical Engineering, and from what I've seen so far, what I'll be doing during the pracitcal phases will be just that). Anyway, I don't know whether these practical phases are gonna be more or less time-intensive than what I'll be doing at uni, but I think they're about even. So, with all due respect

Well, gee, thanks for clearing that up.

Ass.

Geminex · 08-16-2010, 04:38 PM

Anytime.

Ooh, question. Hey, all. I'm not gonna ask what timezones you're in (though I could probably find out with comparable ease), but could we maybe all just post at what times GMT we're gonna be able to get on, usually?? I'll probabyl be 9 PM to 11 PM.

Dracorion · 08-16-2010, 04:48 PM

I have... 5:30 PM to 2:30 AM, with some intermittent breaks in-between.

Bard The 5th LW · 08-16-2010, 06:28 PM

Barring homework, I'll probably be able to get on for posting at times between 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

I will probably be able to check and keep up with stuff at other points as well.

Dracorion · 08-16-2010, 07:45 PM

The following takes place between 12:00 AM and 1:00 AM.

...
Right, well.

I still propose, nay, demand, that we rename Valiant Rush to "The Little Engine That Could". Not only is it much better than the crappy name Menarker chose, it's thematic to boot!

Not going to happen. It also might not be entirely thematic by the time Renny gets it, maturity and all.
