His negativity is starting to irk me, though its not really any of your business either. I could probably quote half a dozen posts which have been completely counter-productive, just from today.


It's an OOC, what did you expect? We've been discussing the quirks of the prepping system. I find that pretty productive. Cheer up, sunshine :)

I honestly couldn't give two actual fucks. I think having a stat system only you're using in an RP that has nothing to do with stats is somewhat retarded as well.


He's not really using the stat system though. It's just for comparison. No need to get snarky.

Part of prepping is it has to have a cost, it usually means a lack of concentration, or it takes a significant time. Gives the opponent plenty of time to interrupt.


True. But in some cases there are items/something that preps on it's own while it's wielder is doing something else. Plenty of time to interrupt then? "technically" they still used a post to charge, etc, etc. This is basically the part of prepping I'm unsure about. If Joe the Axeman is running through the woods with his magical axe, and spends a post describing how his axe is charging up, then Bob the Ninja attacks him on his post with his katana, only to have Joe cut him in half with his prepped axe. Is that legit?
Yeah, see, that's what I've always thought would be the most efficient approach. But I've seen cases where it basically ends up in a clusterfuck ala;

Player 1: I prep my kamehameha.
Player 2: Oh shit, I quickly fire a bunch of ki-blasts to stop him from charging his kamehameha!
Player 1: I fire my prepped kamehameha, destroying all the ki-blasts on it's way over to Player 2.
Player 2: I die horribly!

Or;

Player 1: I prep my thunderpunch.
Player 2: Oh shit! I try to punch him to stop him from charging his thunderpunch!
Player 1: I use my prepped thunderpunch towards his face, meeting his fist along the way.
Player 2: I die!
Oh crap. I'm afraid Evvie won this time. But I will return! Stronger than ever!

While we're on the subject though; Has anyone ever interrupted a prep 1 charge? If so, how?
My prep 1 'Talk to the hand' defense brings the non-prepped anti-tank missile to shame!

Edit: It's damn goofy, but loads of fun.
And I told you, Rilla, my shield was coated in anti-toe acid.
@Beta - If you treat the current format as a system, it will make more sense to you. Sure, the whole prep thing is pretty darn weird, in the sense that it can allow someone to break through your prep 1 super adamantium shield with their prep 2 pinky toe poke. Once you look past that though, you'll find that it's still feasible to do some proper fighting.

Personally, I don't fancy the prep aspect of it, but I understand why it's there.

Edit: Mind you, if no combatants start prepping, no one will ever need to. Escalation, ladies and gentlemen.

Edit edit: There's also the type of character who needs to prep to get their ability to work in the first place. Pretend that's Goku preparing a spirit bomb, and you're good.
As the president cartwheeled out of the way of the incoming rocket, Stubbs, the soul residing within the projectile, thought back on his pathetic life. Stubbs had never been much of a thinker. Not much of anything really. He had dropped out of kindergarden, didn´t know how to read or write, or even how to count properly. Kind of a retard, really. Worked all his life at the local peanut factory. Sixty fucking years. Early on, he discovered how satisfying peanut butter felt when rubbed on his genitalia. For the entirety of his employment, he ejaculated into the factory mixer. Until he died of a heart attack, and plunged into it himself, adding his corpse to the ingredients of Nutty´s crazy peanutbutter mix! Here he was, at the tip of a rocket, speeding at a velocity that would bring Gandhi to shame, if Gandhi had ever had anything to do with shit that involved high-speed movement. Normally, Fuchsia´s rockets detonated themselves whenever they got within the kill radius of their targets, but not Stubbs. Stubbs was retarded, and kept on flying. Where was he going? No one knows, but some say that in between the muffled schreeching of the rocket´s screaming, his lust for Nutty´s peanutbutter was announced yet again!

As the president, yet again, started talking. Fuchsia took aim, making sure to hit his mark perfectly this time. What would Andrew do? Shoot fireworks at him? Charge him? He didn´t care, whatever happened, a well placed rocket would stop it. "Freedom go-.." Andrew Jackson shouted, and Fuchsia immediatly pulled the trigger, hurling a rocket perfectly towards his hand, just as a bird popped out of it, exploding the bird into bits of flesh, bone, feathers and blood, dangerously close to Andrew Jackson himself. Likely dealing quite some damage to him as well.

"WHEN YOU WANNA SHOOT, SHOOT, DON´T TALK!" the Hellzooka shouted.

Not a word came out of Fuchsia´s mouth.
