Honestly, it was between Sam and Atti, but I remembered the "Down to 1 HP in two attacks, and then 100 damage leading to not even close to being bloodied" thing. >_>'

I think part of the problem might be how 'thrilling' the Shursh fight was.

i understand your point, but we are not dealing with objective facts here, we are dealing with a stylization of the facts as presented by hussie and kan. we have the liberty to create a time travel system however we deem fit, with kan's approval. why not combine our efforts to hammer something tangible out of this borderline flame war rather than devolve into name calling?

But I was dealing with objective facts...

Well, I don't really care what time system Kanz ends up using. It's just a work of fiction, it doesn't matter to me even if it's blatantly nonsensical if it's good storytelling. I just like discussing time travel in a practical sense.

as do i, but it is becoming more clear that we are not going to see eye to eye on the issue without innumerable posts wasted on the subject. i figured a time travel discussion might help hammer out ways a hero of time could work, then reality was called into question and nothing was something and paradoxes were everywhere.

i maintain that a time travel system that allows for transmission of information or items from what amounts to the ether is nonsensical but can accept its occurrence in this fictional work, though it would be nothing but a pain to sort things out. though time travel on the whole will be a pain inducing exercise unless a system is ironed out that works.

From: Sceptilesolarbeam | #372
It does. An imbalance in a zero-sum environment.

What is 'it'?

There are causes and there are effects. The effects of causes give rise to possibilities. Information can be wrestled from this arrangement, but only if the information is relatively close to the same branches of possibility one is traveling on. For instance, a Hero of Time might relay some intel that the black king has an intense hatred of baconators. In some other permutation of cause and effect, the black king might instead have a hatred of bicycles. Relaying the one bit of information when it is actually the other in the timeline we are observing does not benefit the Hero of Time much. This is a blessing and a curse depending on the task at hand, for some things will be more generally similar across possibilities than others.

Now you're just proposing alternate timelines, which is a different, equally consistent theory.

Pretty sure the origin of everything is not something we have adequate proof of one way or the other. This view invokes a number of presuppositions that may or may not be generally true.

Well, obviously we don't have proof of anything, but I assume by your line of argument that you would agree with my claim. Therefore objecting that it's unknown is pretty meaningless.

From: Sceptilesolarbeam | #366
Rather, nothing really has an origin in any real sense anyway. That would be a violation of Conservation of Mass and Energy.

Have weapons/items have minimum level requirements.

That's one problem solved.

From: SovietOmega | #352
What's the answer to 'my future self from after winning the game goes back and hands me his final weapon'?

What's the answer to 'I kill an imp and travel back while gristtorrent distributes my grist, then do it again until we all have infinite money'?

What's the answer to 'the time player is doing more than everybody else and making it the time show because I have to keep leashing him 24/7'?

1. Assuming 'beat the game' future self is part of the alpha timeline, then he did not go back and give himself the ultimate weapon because that would create a diverging timeline, aka not alpha, aka doomed timeline. If he DID receive such a weapon, then the weapon came from nowhere and is thus a paradox and thus a doomed timeline. The problem solves itself.

2. Anti-temporal grist economy inflation countermeasures built into the gristtorrent program

3. The piles and piles of dead selves piling up. In piles. Alternatively: technobabble induced temporal interference >_>;; "If you time travel again the quantum instability of the tachyons will accelerate and cause an irreversible chain reaction causing everything everywhere to blow up"

From: Sceptilesolarbeam | #338
Sure you can. A time player who's kept in the dark about what he needs to fix and how can't just steamroll problems with his powers. I'd say you're just not thinking about it hard enough.

I can see how Time would be a headache from a GM's standpoint. But, gosh darn it, S_C is determined to get his Scratch on.

I also see your point Kanz but causing the Scratch sounds pretty fun to me.

From: TheConductorSix | #420
You're not building AS for his damage. You're building it for the same reason you put it on Shen; they have passives that make their base AD pointless.

Nautilus is about getting in there popping up squishes, pulling people off the carry, and spamming AOE damage. His AOE damage goes up immensely with Ionic Spark or Nashor's.

He, I saw Dyrus throw WOTA on him and even that's better than the current build. Skarner can go straight tank be because LOL Q spam. Mundo can go straight tank becausse LOL E. Nautilus needs either AP on his E or attack speed on his W. Nashor's gives both.

From: TheConductorSix | #417
I see everyone building Phreak's build and they suck and do no damage at all.

His W does AOE damage on every attack. His passive procs on multiple targets. No one is building attack speed. Not one Wits end. Not one Ionic Spark which boosts his W in speed and health and aoe, or, being a little creative, the new nashor's tooth- AP AS Cooldown.

It's like people are so set in specific items and not willing to try things

From: SovietOmega | #327
Easy solution for time inclusion:

Kan: With every other enemy placated, you approach the final boss. As you draw closer, you notice a figure you have never seen before. The figure waves and starts to introduce themselves, BUT SUDDENLY THE FINAL BOSS GOBBLES THE FIGURE UP. As the game starts crumbling around the confused heroes, the final boss speaks to the party:

"I am not your enemy! It was always time. Now the game will end and you all can go do something with your lives for a change"

The fourth wall among the first casualty, Kan will instantly dissolve the aim blast group and join 10 dnd campaigns

</end>

Truly it could end no other way!

Just did trial run Shen.

Armor Pen Reds(dont have AS yet)
Armor yellows
MR blues
Attack Speed Quints(dont have flat health yet)

0/12/18(Get the minion defenses and the health stuff or the health regen to make your sustain even dumber. In the utility tree the energy makes a HUGE difference as does the gold per level)

Start Doran's or Crystal. Either way you jungle at near max health all day. Get Heart of Gold and Boots. Get Giants Belt. Get Wit's End. Then go Warmogs or Ionic Spark.

It's hilarious either way. 250 damage Ki Strike Procs on a guy with a Shield that procs it faster. GLORIOUS SHEN

From: TheConductorSix | #395
Saint vicious just did trial run with new Shen.

STUPID DAMAGE. He started Dorans Shield in the jungle and didn't lose any HP. Feint makes the cooldown on Ki Strike a joke. One Giants Belt and he had nearly 100 damage Ki Strikes procing every 2-3 seconds. Wits End for second item made it even funnier.

Lastly, taunt energy renewal is scary. You taunt, do damage, reduce damage, have enough energy to shield and just Ki Strike like a boss.

For anyone wondering the runes it was the following:

Attack speed reds
Armor yellows
Mr blues
Flat health quints

9/21/0 taking attack speed tree. He plowed through the jungle at speeds slower than God Tier but he also did it with full health and a Dorans Shield

From: millermach | #314
So that's how that works? I always thought there was simply a threshold we had to roll beneath or above, not that it was tied to our stat.

From: millermach | #312
More than 100? That seems kinda high...

I mean, I gotta roll an 87 or better to not get hit?

Ouch.

here is what I would recommend

we use the hashtags ## for relevant stuff like investigations

and we find something else to use for fluff actions

From: Haguile | #120
[quoted text]

Man it's almost like I have to be vague about everyone else because their roles are being kept private due to their own choice or something.

[quoted text]

I'm not allowing change of moves once they have been done because that could honestly break the game really easily and would make it hell for me to keep track of everything.

In any case, I'm organizing everyone's actions right now. Once I'm done, we'll enter the Night Phase.

From: BlackMageJawa | #020
better than S&K3

Eh? It is Doomsday Zone, just with worse controls.

From: Some_Character | #287
While that is a very distinct possibility I want you to consider something.

Up to now and potentially from now on we've stuck with the dictionary on the classes and elements written by Kanz himself. The Twostuck Prince, rather than being a destroyer, is the one who fell just short of the mark. It's similar to the Page in being unimpressive until a certain point is reached. The Prince would still be beneficial now since then Kanz could just make great Timeskills with great costs, which are offset by the Prince discount. Just don't expect to destroy anything soon.

Depending on your role, I would imagine playing your role would coincide with playing to win.

Though I love the idea of getting a taste of Dominant Winds 9 levels early, I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to use the boon like that.

Hamanu's Terrible Roar or a Storm Blessing, I guess... Well, I don't want either right now.

Will update wishlist soonish.

Mostly lookin' at the Cold Iron Shield because of where we are right now. >_>'We seem to run into teleporters a lot, too.

Not sure where to look for Boons, besides the sample ones in DMG2. >_>'

...And Ana's allowing Captain's Weapons at Lev 8? Alrighty.
