Dark Age Legends, Chapter 13 -- Sign Ups

[Dude Man]

Nah, N64 and GBA all the way dudes!

Xor Guy: I know. I just love teasing you so...Razz

[D. Ein]

Bah, I promised I'd post when DS would post. Off to DAL I go.

[Dude Man]

Valimore leapt higher in the air and began to charge a black ball of both dark and vampiric power. It grew massively with a potential to kill 10,000 humans in one blow. after it's radius reached a massive 5,000 feet, he began to put more vampiric energy into it. It seemed to suck out all light around until all that could be seen was pitch darkness.

 

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA!

Sorry, if I'm sounding harsh, but that is just insane! If you even read the rules you should know that something THAT powerful isn't allowed to be charged in such a tiny amount of time, maybe the entire chapter. And 5,000 feet in radius!? I once had Duilin summon a fireball that was 20 feet in radius and that was considered insanly huge. What does this guy summon moons?!

I know, you didn't kill 10,000 humans, with it, but it's implied and that is just TOO powerful, NOBODY can realistically survive that attack. I think you're taking Retan's sayings to literally, because but it's not like humans are worthless insects compared to everyone else. If your character can kill that many people in one post, he could probabbly destroy the entire world in three.

And as for your guy transforming into a Draken, that is also unfair, because you did that in one post while Jayce did it in two. A lot, if not all, of your characters are really cheap.

Don't go Haraldur on us...

A sphere nearly one mile in diameter summoned in one post is quite ridiculous.  Please edit your post to a more reasonable number.  Like, say, 10 feet.

The largest attack in DAL was summoned by Draven in chapter 5.  His CDAA grew to some 100 feet in diameter, and it took ten posts or so.  And if anyone wants to mention past giant attacks summoned in one post, these were relatively weak because they were summoned in one post.  Which is why I reversed many in one post. (Heh...)

Simply saying your attack has the power of X doesn't make it so.  It's generally the other players who decide how strong your attacks are.  Since you are relatively new, people aren't likely going to treat you characters as very powerful.  Just play along and you'll earn more respect in time as you develop your characters.

If you're reading past chapters, that's great.  Just be careful not to follow the examples of posts that have caused rule changes and are now illegal.  (Heh...)

That is true. When I first joined (like early chapter 1) all of my characters were n00bs. Duilin got KOed in one weak hit by Draven, but now he's arguably the same strength as him Razz.

However, I usually don't have much fun with extremely powerful characters. I have way more fun with Duilin than I did with Abodahon. Middle-High power characters are usually more fun that Uber-High power characters.

[Jenia]

That's right. Ony I may blow up the universe in one post.

...What? Fine, my character will then wake up sweating. Satisfied?

Wow... I'm really not paying any attention, am I? Sorry, guys. I have some really annoying stuff going on right now. I changed the first number to 100, and the next to 25. He's 10,000 years old. He's got to be super powerful by now, right? At least that's much better... I hope...

Besides, the energy was only ment for transforming. It probably wouldn't even kill 20 people if he threw it at them all... Good point... I'll change it 'again'... <sigh>

[Jenia]

Hey, Drannic, lemme give you a tip.

Drop all highly-powerful and above characters NOW.
It's much more fun to start with a weak/mildly powerful character and then have them grow as the RP progresses.



Oh, right, I think I'm confused. Xorlak/DM, could you please clarify just where are all the characters in that crazy fight? From what I understand, Ven retreated into the caves, but the rest have stayed outside.

[Xorlak]

Ven did retreat to the caves, but came back out once the fight began.  The battle is now south of the caves and east of Kesnar (which is probably pretty burnt up by now).  Roughly the southern middle section of Tjed.

[Jenia]

That's the cave ENTRANCE, not EXIT, correct? Meh, well, probably is. I didn't see you people going through the caves, so fat chance to that.

Umm, how many of Ven's men are there? None?

[Xorlak]

Yes, the entrance is to the south, and there's a couple of them.  The main exit is to the north, opening to the valley where the capital city is located.  It's really the only way to get to the capital, as it is surrounded on all sides by steep mountains.  The caves themselves are maze-like and confusing, and there's also a few exits that lead east and west, away from the capital. (There is also a similar but separate set of caves to the north of the capital that lead to northern Tjed.)

The knights suffered some casualties from the recent battles, but they're still mostly alive.  Some are still in the caves, some are cleaning up remaining lizard men just outside.

New guy! For a new adventure...

Look around before making new factions.

Rule Amendment

Rule of Numbers

Should you at any time wish to use an NPC group of more than a few thousand, please run it by me via PM first.  If you don't, you are still welcome to try any number you wish in the RP.  If I'm okay with it, I won't say anything.  If not, then I will give you a new number, and you will need to edit your post before posting again.
