Somehow, we've never (at least not in years) had a straightforward tournament on the Omniverse. I'd love to finally do this, so that we can settle some grudges and see who's really the strongest Prime.

I was thinking Round Robin style, for fairness - this way nobody gets eliminated in round one due to getting matched up against a BAMF - we can have actual rankings based on the results! No items, of course, but SP would be fair game. All injuries and SP would be healed between each match.

For those who don't know, Round Robin means that everyone takes turns and gets a chance to fight everyone.

This would be fairly simple, but of course there'd be IC stuff so characters can banter between each match, but mainly this'd be about the fights.

Any interest?

(A glossary of the terms and words used by yours truly, during my silly times in the CBox. Let me know if I missed any!)


Borking: Synonym for "barking".

Butt-Bird: Kalli Jay. A good friend of Amaterasu and honorary Doge (refer to "Doge" for more information) even though she is actually a bird. Is the High Priestess of the Booty cult which dedicates themselves to expanding one's buttocks and has masses consisting mainly in orgiastic amounts of twerking, as well as reciting the Bootynoster  prayer each Saturday.

Cate: Means cat. The eternal enemy of Doges (refer to "Doge" for more info). An exception exists in the form of Amber Veritz, because she is only partially a Cate.

Daniato: Refer to "Doge-Owner".

Doge: Means dog, but usually refers to a Shiba Inu. Only dogs who are part of the Doge-Army (refer to "Doge-Army" for more info) may call themselves "Doge".

Doge-Army: A world-spanning organization of Doges (refer to "Doge" for more info) who, unbeknownst to Humans ("refer to "Human" for more info) are interlocked in an eternal struggle with the Cates (refer to "Cate" for more info) over who is the better pet for Humans.

Doge-Owner: Minato Namikaze/Daniel. He is the canonical owner of Amaterasu, as far as the CBox canon goes, because he takes her for walks.

Doggo: Refer to "Doge".

Good Boy/Good Girl: Mysterious individual who the Humans seek to know the identity of, usually by asking the Doges who it is. The Doges are conducting extensive research but it is believed that they may never find out.

Goodest Boy/Girl: Usually referred to as "The goodest boy of them all" as its full title goes, the Doges believe this unknown individual to be the King and Queen of the Good Boys/Girls.

Hatting: The act of climbing onto someone's head or equivalent bodypart, or onto their helmet, top hat, fedora or other article of clothing or armor that they may wear on their head (or equivalent), and acting as their hat. Amaterasu is a very active practicioner of this. Only humans (refer to "Human" for more info) are hatted. Wearing Amaterasu as a hat (in this state known as "Sundoge-hat") adds the equivalent fanciness of wearing three top hats and four monocles per eye, having two mustaches and smoking three pipes at the same time. For unknown reasons, Amaterasu also tends to put on a derp-face while she hats someone.

Hooman: Refer to "Human".

Human: Also known as hooman. Humans are people that Amaterasu recognizes as under her protection. Humans enjoy various privileges, such as getting to be hatted by Amaterasu and being allowed to pet her. Note that to be a "Human" one does not necessarily have to belong to the human species, or be a living individual: non-humans, objects, robots etc. can indeed be Humans. Humans must also be protected from all outside threats, especially Mailmen (refer to "Mailman" for more info).

Mailman: Anything and -body that is considered a threat to the Humans by a Doge is labeled a Mailman. Mailmen are considered threats to Doges and/or Humans, and must be driven away until they disappear. Methods of driving Mailmen away can be borking at them (refer to "Borking" for more info), taking a defensive-aggressive stance, chasing them out of range where they would pose a threat or, in extreme cases, hatting them to transfer goodness to them and appease their Mailman-ness. Only Doges trained in setting up Head-to-Butt-connections should attempt this.
Notes: A Mailman does not necessarily have to pose a threat, it is sufficient that a Doge considers them a threat for them to be one. Also, individuals/objects may be "Mailmen" only for a period of time. For instance, an individual yelling at a Human would be considered a Mailman for that time, but not anymore once they stop yelling. It is also noteworthy that employees of a postal office who deliver mail to its recipients are not necessarily Mailmen (but can be) and that one does not need to be such an employee to be eligible for the "Mailman" title.

Mirror: A magical mirror that answers all questions, but only if they're asked in rhymes and started by "Mirror, mirror" etc. Amaterasu loves to use it to find out who she should hat (refer to "Hatting" for more info).

Mooncate: Amber Veritz. Because she is only slightly Cate but mostly Human, she forms a rare exception among Cates in that she is not considered an enemy of the Doges. The nickname is a reference to Amaterasu's title "Sundoge".

Shibe: Short for Shiba Inu (dog race).

Sundoge: Amaterasu.

Character name:
Neku Sakuraba
Character source:
The World Ends With You
Character history:
Neku comes from real life ward in Tokyo,Japan, with some minor differences (such as the 109 building being changed to the 104 building). One day, he was murdered via a gun. Death wasn’t the end for him, as he decided to join “The Reaper's Game”. The “Game” is a week of challenges set in a parallel existence of shibuya, to test if the dead deserve a second chance at life. Only one person can win the game, and those whose survive to the end and lose must play again. This lead to Neku playing the “Game” three times. Near the end of the third week, Neku and his allies (Beat and Shiki) decided to kill the composer of the “Game”. Unbeknownst to them the composer was Joshua, who somehow survived after saving Neku. Joshua would have ended him, If wasn’t for Omni.
Prior to “The Reapers Game”, Neku was very antisocial and introverted. To him, people only served as an obstacle or annoyance. This is likely due to the death of a past friend. He often wears headphones, avoiding as much contact with others as possible. Other people had little value to him, so much so that, if he absolutely had to kill a friend, he would. Despite his inability to interact, Neku is an intelligent and clever individual, shown best in surviving the Reapers challenges. By the same token, this also broadened his horizons. Learning to trust his partner was vital to Neku’s survival. He was often unwilling to co-operate with his partners at first, but soon trusted and bonded with them. He even risked his life to save them. But sudden entrance into the Omniverse has changed this. Not only is he in a world he doesn’t understand, but the person who saved his life just tried to murder him. Though he may not try to kill anyone, Neku is about as trusting as he was before.

Force Rounds - (Requires Ranged Proficiency) - 300 OM
- A ball of mental force, launched in an instant from Neku’s palm. The head of it is light green, with blue trace following it. Roughly 9 inches in diameter, it travels in a straight line up to a maximum of 35 feet in 3 seconds. This can be used in motion. It hurts about as much as a slap to the wrist, and doesn't use up too much mental energy. Takes 2 seconds to re-use.

Flame Blast - (Requires Ranged Materialize Proficiency) - 600 OM
- A targeted spot at the same height as Neku begins to get warmer but doesn't really cause any harm. After 6 seconds, a pillar of flame suddenly rises from the same spot. The pillar has a diameter of 3 feet and rises to a max high of 5 feet in about a second. The pillar then dissipates. Neku can choose how warm the fire is, but requires more mental energy. Could cause a first-degree burn, or multiple second-degree burns. Can take 10 to 30 seconds to recharge, depending on the severity of the fire. This can't be used while in motion and can be dodged by a speedy opponent.

Where did you find us?
I don’t remember specifically what it was called, but it was a D&D forum.

I just need to fix a simple picture mistake on my roster.

Dick raced through the city skyline, sprinting across a building top before leaping towards another, starting a burst of speed mid-air to propel himself forward to another building. His first night back on the job. It was strange: it had been so long, yet it felt as though he had just been doing this days ago. Howland burst forward with another flash of speed, but soon he flashed away from the familiar lights of Empire City and was thrust into a blank black void, seemingly infinite. He furrowed his brow, looking around. The work of a criminal? Some illusion, made by one of his old enemies? But suddenly, a figure appeared, only a silhouette but filled with some uncanny replication of emotion, an unflinching and unchanging grin.

Quote: “My name is Omni. This is not the world you know. This is the Omniverse. You interest me, so I have made you part of it. The Omniverse is a place that reflects the wishes of those who are part of it. But! There are rules. I will explain them only once, so listen carefully.” 

Quote: “This is Omnilium. It’s what ties the Omniverse together. Without it, you are nothing. With it, anything you desire can be yours. But you will need more than this. If you desire it enough, you will find it. You will find that using it comes naturally. Just think of what you desire most." 

Quote: “You will not be alone in the Omniverse. There are others. Of course, they, too desire Omnilium. Do not fear death. For as long as you interest me, you will be reborn.  That’s all you need to know right now. You’ll figure out the rest soon enough. I’ll be watching … and waiting.” 

Alright I have a plan of banishing the palemoor's resident vampire overlord and I would like a interest count. Mind you this will be after DD and will take at least half a year to a couple to get ready. I realistically need at least six primes besides Chara to at least have a chance of making this a reality.

My steps are as follows:
1.) get Darkshire back up and running at full capacity
2.) get allys/ start working on a trade route to and from darkshire
3.) get the assault force ready to strike with the help of factions like ambrosia/Camelot/Coruscant with the promise of land and stuff.
4.) actually get the assault underway
5.) if all goes to plan someone banishes Dracula

This is all subject to change and some steps may be added or retracted as time goes on.

As a parallel to the venting topic, here's a nice place to put your personal victories, accomplishments, pieces of luck or just nice things!

Quote:Word Count: 832/5,000 - 10,000   -  Hero This City Needs Quest 

I'm going to be changing the way quests work in terms of rewards. Initially the site had no 'quests' - they're totally unnecessary. We added a few to give people ideas of what to write for getting the trust of factions.

None of these quests initially had any rewards other than earning faction approval, which is something you do anyway by writing in a given area. No OM, no items.

Buuut people seem to really like quests, and over time a whole bunch got written and submitted. I hate saying no, so I figured out a rewards system for this that matched what we give for Great and Exemplary rewards. However, it's fundamentally broken, in that you will always get a reward for a quest, no matter the quality of the writing. Eventually quests are going to overtake non-quest writing as a way to get the most rewards, and that's something I've never wanted.

Even after adding a special 'system' to figure out what quest rewards should be, the rewards people wrote were still wildly different from what you'd get from normal writing. Sometimes way higher, sometimes way lower. Approving these is just another level of work for me, or Alex, or higher-level staffers. For what? S'pointless.

So from now on, with the exception of a few official quests, I'm going to be removing OM rewards from quests. Woah now! To be replaced with the normal rewards for writing bonuses! That's the Great/Exemplary you all know. That way, everything is fair and balanced.

This basically reduces quests down to what they're best at - writing prompts! You can take 'em or leave them, and there's no need to figure out an appropriate reward or whatnot. You can still give flavour rewards, and questing will still get you OM and recognition - just as writing normally does. It's just all under the same system now.

I wanted to give a heads up before I do this, and hear out any objections before I go around removing all the OM rewards. What do y'all think about this?

tl;dr: I'm removing quests having individual rewards assigned to them, now they just get graded exactly the same as everything else and you can get Great/Exemplary bonuses.

This is a short question, but since it isn't a question pertaining to the game itself, I thought it inappropriate to put it in the QQ thread. Sorry if I'm just cramming more threads in the Help Desk.

I was wondering if we could get an update to the mobile version to include a note of our current earned OM. Perhaps a way to change our avatar, as well. I feel this a very nitpicky request, but as far as I know the mobile version doesn't include those. If I'm wrong please guide me cause I am a brain dead mule and I'm lost in the fuckin' desert.
