Dante's Abyss 2006 Hype Thread

[Super Buu]

I thought up more questions on the vestiges of sleep. =P

1: Say two people from different alliances wander onto the same square and they both agree to a temporary 'ceasefire' in order to help each other out or something ... would they be allowed to have that choice or would they just be thrown into a fight?

2: Is the money/kill system still the same as in the last DA?

3: I know you can't write the fighting itself, but can you set up your own fights, through challenging and the like? I'm still not sure if the moving from square to square is random, n' stuff, or if you're deliberately keeping it a secret until later. >_>

[Burter Jr]

So everyone WILL be assigned a weapon each?

Yep. random.org will assign the weapons.

1: Say two people from different alliances wander onto the same square and they both agree to a temporary 'ceasefire' in order to help each other out or something ... would they be allowed to have that choice or would they just be thrown into a fight?

I don't see why temporary alliances would be a problem

The agreement would have to be made before moving into the same square. You can't move in the same square, see that you're going to get in a fight, and be like "but wait we're in an alliance!111"

2: Is the money/kill system still the same as in the last DA?

Hm, good question. I haven't adressed this yet.

3: I know you can't write the fighting itself, but can you set up your own fights, through challenging and the like?

You can deliberately move to the same square in order to fight, or set it up for someone else to fight if they are stupid enough to believe you.

You don't have to read anything, Rei, I said it before. Opinions would be nice, but optional.

So, this is sort of Battle Royale style? My favourite film by far. Especially Kiriyama, that guy rules. Excellent idea, but is this all about people chosen from Random, or will everyone get the oppertunity to join?

Yes, it's based strongly on BR. Kiriyama is gay, Mitsuru is where it's at.

I'll hand-pick the 44 playing based off the applicants. There will be a week to sign-up before I begin selecting

I'm totally breaking my lazy streak for this...it's gonna rock.

[Anya]

Damn... DA this year sounds like it's going to blow all the previous ones out of the water.


It almost makes me wish I were a member still. =/

Well, if it makes you feel any better, the one Videl that we allowed to join registered and has never shown back up.

=O

I killed Yamcha the last time...but then got my ass handed to me by Android 18.

Now I gots the powah! X(

Burter...I love you man...I'm stoked...I hope I get weapon 27...it's probably a loaf of bread...

[Jonathan Meer]

I've got some inside information on this. Weapon # 14 is a cordless telephone. #18 is a PS2 controller sawed in thirds and reconnected with a frayed rope. #23 is the largest turd in the world, and #35 is Chuck Norris.

Is Mitsuru the other exchange, or is Mitsuru the main guy who ties himself to his girlfriend? I didn't catch many names when I watched that.

Mitsuru is Kiriyama's most loyal gang member. In the movie he's one of the guys who get's blown to hell at the start when Kiriyama jacks the machine gun. His real storyline is in the book and manga

[Ashe]

So all I have to do is rig this to get 35 and then I can go completely inactive and have this shit in the bag.

[Burter Jr]

There's been a slight change in the weapon list. Chuck Norris called in sick.

Someone pick a number 1-43 and I'll reveal another weapon

[Burter Jr]

Just to clarify, the weapons will be randomly given to the players. Just because someone is Entry #1, doesn't mean they will get Weapon #1. I've simply numbered them for the sake of revealing.

I'm off to the mall, will reveal when I return, assuming someone picks a number

Chuck Norris doesnt get sick.

[John Doe]

When Bruse Banner gets angry, he turns into the Hulk. When the Hulk gets angry, he turns into Chuck Norris!

Chuck Norris sued Law & Order for stealing his right and left leg.

Chuck Norris does not use spell check. If he happens to misspell a word, Oxford will simply change the actual spelling of it.

Chuck Norris invented water.

Chuck Norris once shot an enemy plane down with his finger, by yelling, "Bang!"

Although it is not common knowledge, there are actually three sides to the Force: the light side, the dark side, and Chuck Norris.

It was once believed that Chuck Norris actually lost a fight to a pirate, but that is a lie, created by Chuck Norris himself to lure more pirates to him. Pirates never were very smart.

There is no chin behind Chuck Norris' beard. There is only another fist.

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

Chuck Norris once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.

Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

Chuck Norris's girlfriend once asked him how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. He then shouted, "HOW DARE YOU RHYME IN THE PRESENCE OF CHUCK NORRIS!" and ripped out her throat. Holding his girlfriend's bloody throat in his hand he bellowed, "Don't fuck with Chuck!" Two years and five months later he realized the irony of this statement and laughed so hard that anyone within a hundred mile radius of the blast went deaf.

Woe is the fool who crosses me and my fork!

I see what you did there.

I seriously, not joking, want a potatoe peeler or a katana; both?

Question: If we beat/kill somebody, do we get their weapon? Also, will there be free senzu beans there, and will we get to keep any of our items? If not, will it be like last year where we were supplied with some.

[Burter Jr]

Question: If we beat/kill somebody, do we get their weapon?

The person who's died will have their weapons open for someone to take. If there is only one other person in the fight, they'll get it. If there is more then one person, it'll go to one of the top rpers in the group, or the person who needs it more, depending on the situation.

Weapons can be given and traded freely between players who are together

Also, will there be free senzu beans there, and will we get to keep any of our items? If not, will it be like last year where we were supplied with some.

No to senzu beans. There will be means of curing injuries.

No, all items are temporary and only for the game.

The items you start with include a map, compass, scouter, food, water, and a randomly selected weapon. That's it. In other words, sucks to be you
