Quick and Easy Questions (please read the OP)

Okay just so I'm clear, having my character say "I just watch Dante's Abyss 2015" would make sense then?

Yes, in the same vein of saying you watch Season 1 of Friends only.

In regards to how you refer to DA, the name of the thread is for OOC purposes. In character you would refer to them as Dante's Abyss 1, or Season 1, or whatever (not the ooc year).

As for Writing as an NPC prime on a separate account to the one it was created on, no.

Karl and the workers of Syntech (themselves, you know, Karl) would refer to them as DA V, VI, and VII, as he oversaw production of four previous versions in his past life.

In the Omniverse, they'd just be called Dante's Abyss during streaming. When released in collection after production, it'd be labeled 'Season 1, 2, 3, etc...' and broken up into episodes, much like any TV show.

Edit: Jeff answered my question. What kind of underoos does Greg like? Boxers, briefs, or boxer briefs? =O

With a Medical Centre upgrade to your base, could you give access to just this and not the vault?

Could you give access to your Medical Centre upgrade to the public? Say New Babylon wanted to use the upgrade as a hospital for Nippur. Would this be allowed?

Would we be able to charge non faction players 50 OM to allow them to use the upgrade?

Yeah, sure. You could totally make one part of your base public. As for paying to use your medical centre, I'd say yes since I'd consider it to be something tangible (but you'll need to make a thread to get official approval for that).

[Trixie]

Would we be able to charge non faction players 50 OM to allow them to use the upgrade?

No. We denied something similar (I need to find it) and ruled that it would be pretty shitty if we were to allow other members to charge OM for things. Considering a player can just roleplay going to a clinic in their own personal RP to get healed. If you're talking about repairing fight damage, that can be done with items or over time in personal RP.

[Alex]

Going to x2 what Trixie said, with a caveat.

Now, say, someone gets injured in the Dunes in the vicinity of Nippur and wants to use your medbay, you can charge them (I'm okay with that, much like it's okay to pay people for 'faction quests' or for factions to set up bounties). After all, you're offering them a tangible IC benefit, which might be helpful for someone in case they think they're going to get hit again (Pennywise's situation and what Seventeen endured last summer come to mind as prime examples). Bear in mind, that prime you let in and charge to heal could also get fully healed and proceed to attack your vault, as they'd already be inside your Base/Fortification.

edit -- you cannot charge for base services unless there is a tangible need, like any other exchange of OM between players

So i was looking at the stats and was trying to decide what 20 atk meant when it said that you could level buildings with normal moves. Does it mean like modern buildings or what? I ask since building is a fairly vague word here.

[Dane Regan]

Bear in mind, that prime you let in and charge to heal could also get fully healed and proceed to attack your vault, as they'd already be inside your Base/Fortification.

Could you not put your healing area outside? Or in a low-access easy to get to area away from your vault? Obviously, that'd make it easier for an attacker of your base to reach your medbay and get to anyone trying to heal there, but it'd also prevent anyone you let go there from rampaging around your base (as easily). Which I'd assume is what Sasuke wants.

Also, followup. Is the ATK scale linear? Dane can reach 10 ATK, so with his "Break a Leg" (which I'd assume is more than twice as strong as a "normal move" due to the self-harm aspect and 3-second charge), could he punch that building down?

[James Knight]

A few questions come to mind, for me as well. 
1. Can you combine moves? 
2. If so, is there any limit to the number of moves you can combine into one?

[Crocodile]

1) yes.
2) no.

[Drake Oneir]

Can you clarify what you mean by combine?

If you mean creating a multi-function move, then yeah, people do that all the time.

If you mean making two moves usable in a way that you can create their effects together to produce a new effect, you would have to purchase that capability individually for each move used in the combo.

[James Knight]

I mean if you have multiple sword moves. And then you take them all, and fuse their effects/features into a single blade to simplify your arsenal, as an upgrade. Is such allowed?

[Tearen Wover]

That...sounds like selling some of your moves back to buy a 'better' move?

That's not how the site works, fam, you should know that by now.

[Crocodile]

Yeah. What Drake said. There's a difference between combing multiple sword Moves into a "Sword Arsenal" Move which just holds all that information in one blurb and turning a ice sword Move and a fire sword Move into a Icy Fire Sword. The previous example is fine. The latter requires refunds and reapproval.

[King Ghidorah]

Edit: Dangit! Foiled again. I guess I'll just try to answer Dane.

I don't know about the base thing, but as far as the ATK scale goes the answer is 'not really linear, more kinda curved'. There aren't solid numerical values attached to those numbers, and its done that way for a reason. It's kind of a fuzzy curve-kinda-thing written for maximum narrative-crafting convenience, so as to guide the writing without boxing people in too much. Thinking about it realistically, the linear strength-gap between 'punching through steel plating' and 'an entire building' is much larger than the gap between 'normal dude' and 'breaking steel', so I would say that using your 'break a leg' example it wold probably hit more like a 14 or 15;  Just look at the descriptions of the effects and employ a little common-sense.

Question, is it possible to get someone near Nippur out of the dunes with asking permission from Gil?

[Trixie]

Question, is it possible to get someone near Nippur out of the dunes with asking permission from Gil?

What do you mean? Gilgamesh runs the faction. He doesn't control the Dunes. Are you removing a player or NPC? If it's someone that you think you should alert Gilgamesh about, just send him a PM.

[Sasuke Uchiha]

Is the artefact list up to date? I may be wrong, but I think the Dragon's Maw (Blue) was earned by the old Cell. In that case, where does the Dragon's Maw (Blue) go?

[Jade Harley]

Android 17 has it. He defeated Cell, we'll need to update the list!
