The Ki List - 1/10/09

[Alura]

I just want to say that I am completely open to other people hosting competitive sagas like DA with their own format and their own twists. I would absolute love to read, view and participate in it. I never wanted DA to the only competition we have.

[Jonathan Meer]

I think it's unwise to have a PvP bloodbath be the first saga.

Aside from not making a shit-ton of sense for a number of characters, competition sagas like DA have a way of distancing players from one another instead of bringing them together. You are my opponent in DA. I only have interest in your writing so far as it impacts my chances to win, because if I lose, I can't play anymore.

I don't think that's the right foot to lead off on after a fresh reset with lots of new, unexplored characters.

Quick way to make rivalries, though, and I'll bet a good rivalry drives writing more than friendship.

There are probably exceptions to that rule, but still. I betcha.

From personal experience, I find that to be quite the true statement.

I don't even know who you were. You haven't put it into your post bit.

[Alura]

He was Minoshia

[Alexander Trafford]

Come on man, i was trying to be sneaky.

[Super Buu]

You can't hide from me, Mino >=D

[Jack]

xD

Your identity is ruined. I helped earlier today.

[Pinky]

I have 650, thank you very much.

But I see how it is. Just another instance of The Man trying to keep me down.

[Alura]

My bad. I'll make sure it's fixed for next week.

[Juno]

I <3 DA, personally, but I wouldn't mind a short little thing before it. Nothing too epic, but something on the same strand of the Ginyu Force or defeating 19 and 20 that took only a few episodes in the actual series.

[Piper Juunanagou]

I genuinely thought you were a new joiner until I noticed your postbit said you joined in 04. Then it was just a matter of searching back through the posts you had made to find your true identity@!

Your DA career is probably over, we all know how you like to get down.

[Sullivan]

Nothing would excite me quite as much as Reb posting an announcement about having another Friend or Foe.

[Celena]

Plus, I wouldn't even say the format is exactly the same. With the new system, I can see myself letting a lot of the techniques previously not allowed in. Of course they'll be dumbed down a lot, but things like healing, regen, teleportation, will all be incorporated (to an extent).

To what extent? Either way, healing and regen would make a great deal of difference in DA, like turning insane injuries into major injuries, or major into minor injuries. I don't think healing and regen should be incorporated at all, but I could see people being allowed to teleport to a certain extent. Being allowed to teleport a couple of meters for example. For those who have healing or regen, you could just compensate them, for example, giving them a free med-kit instead. Or you could just have participants only be allowed to enter with one ability, as long as its not healing, regen or teleportation.

[Jack]

Survival and MAS will be combo breakers.

[Cain]

But it would still be hard to explain for some characters. And my combat ability should be higher. I've had 19.1 xp total. 12.5 before today.

[Vad]

But it would still be hard to explain for some characters.

How will it be hard to explain? If your talking about MAS. I can easily write 3 paragraphs about how Vad ONLY uses hand to hand combat.

We're talking semantics here and the threat of someone becoming literally a god in DA because of certain abilities. You can allow EVERYTHING, just grade it accordingly.

Possibilities are endless. Going to take Misa's post about Healing Vad. She was reorganizing his energy and healing his body. SO, what if by some random chance, ONLY in DA, the healer killed the user because they were in experienced or just by some random badluck. It's all up to staff. Or what if teleport seperated your arms from your torso and you began to die?

Stuff like that.

[Jack]

I think he's talking about it being so early.

[Sullivan]

DA is what makes me happy for having Inner Power and MAS.
