Question!

Don't know if this has been answered, searched through most of the 18 other pages, but couldn't find it. =P

Will 43 people really die, or is it going to be like FoF, just sent back to where you came from?

That's still being decided. As of now, we can expect the afterlife to get a lot of visitors. This may change

[Old Janemba]

We died last time. And the times before that, too. That's the risk of it.

Not trying to argue or anything, but considering that only 1 person can actually win this, that would put 43 people into the afterlife....

Also, for those that aren't in the saga, what happens with the dragonballs, do that just get put on hold until people die or what not?

Right. See the answer I gave in that quote.

And I don't care one bit how many people wind up in the afterlife.

The dragonballs of the players in the game will be held with their other items, thus inaccessible.

Ok, I think I'm getting a good grasp on the game now, is it going to be run exactly like the Ghetto DA, or is it completely different?

[Burter Jr]

It'll be run the same way, for the most part. Some things were changed for simplicity

[Banned Dana]

ok, sweet.

As far as power ups and what not, do they count as abilities? Reason I ask is becuase Thirteen doesn't power up, his RAGE is part of his CPU and it keeps him at his max.

[Burter Jr]

No, they don't count as abilities, but you still arn't going to be at max ki all the time. You'll be at base ki

[Burter Jr]

Stack

[Mal Nova]

I asked him yesterday on AIM if we could go form A1 to A4 while passing a dangerzone(A2 in ghetto DA) and not die. He said yes. Incase anyone else wondered.

BJ, most likely, will determine whether or not an ability can be used on a case by case basis.

Yea, that's pretty much it.

Best Moves are good, but some, like 20's, will have to be thrown aside.

The only abilities blocked: Ki Sense, Telepathy, Flying, Teleportation and Healing

So... Pyrokinesis isn't banned? Nor Cryo?

Bra, we need to talk btw.

The ability system has been since I posted that. I've decided to allow players to choose two abilities they can use coming in, and they can only use those two.

However, the ones I banned up there in that quote are still banned

Hope that helps

Oh, wait, I thought you meant going over someone else's square. I misunderstood.

No, going through a danger zone = death.

My bad

[Burter Jr]

The DA discussion forum will officially open for chit-chat about DA after Ghetto DA finishes, likely tommorrow or the day after. I'll start putting official rules there, so that if any questions come up regarding them we can clear it all out before it starts.

As of now, I have movement and injuries finalized. I've still been adding small details to the movements to address questions I've gotten.

[Broli]

When is DA?

Edit: You guys should move it so the Broli can participate.

[Burter Jr]

Sorry, it's set specifically to when I can best be able to host it. My own life is pretty hectic as well

[Burter Jr]

Since Ghetto DA is ending tonight, I'll have the first finalized sets of rules and the discussion forum up.
