Throw Questions at the Proto Man

[Proto Man]

I know this is a "Battle Royal" thing but is there a key component like trying to write to the audience and appeal to them. I keep on thinking hunger games and I think of those little packages that people send when they want the person to win. Will there be any of that?

Nah, the only one you've got to pander to is me.

MWAHAHA

[Proto Man]

Hey Proto Man. I don't have a question. Just saying hi.

Hi man! A pleasure to see yous.

[Blink]

This is all very familiar.

[Violet]

I've made two posts. Love me. (with feedback!)

[Proto Man]

I think you have the wrong thread =p

Anyway, advice...

Yea, it doesn't look like you have too much rust, and if you decide to enter, a lot of people should be concerned with that. I have no doubt that you'll manage to create a compelling story. If you can build yourself up during the pre-show with a few more solid posts and you get a good weapon, you should have 0 fear of trying to stab someone during the start of the show. Unless your character plans to change dramatically, a good punch-fest wouldn't do any harm and would probably just give you some more fuel moving forward.

The disadvantage you have is that you're level 1, so all you'll have is Level 0 Super Moves (desperation attacks). You could consider a pairing with another newbie or even someone more established who won't shank you the moment you stop being useful to them.

[Blink]

Can you still roleplay elsewhere during the pre-show, or are you locked in once you sign up?

[Proto Man]

I prefer people to join and then write just in the preshow area.

But I am willing to make exceptions (I was going to do so for Magus until he had to drop altogether) and will gladly do so for new members.

[Blink]

I appreciate it.

Would Guu's Stomach of Holding be blocked by the collars? It is a utility move.

Edit: I'm sorry if this has been answered in a similar question, but if I had a super move that required Stomach of Holding and that move got blocked, could I still use the super move?

[Trixie]

Does Proto Man ever get freaky with that gun?

The stomach wouldn't work.

A super move, however, would work. Super Moves are immune to the restrictions place on moves, because they are Super and because #dantephysics

gross =o

[Mickey Mouse]

I think I know the answer, but:

IC, can a character enter under an alias?

[Proto Man]

You mean like putting on a mask and pretending to be someone else?

... I mean I guess you could? I don't think it'd have a problem with that.

[Mickey Mouse]

Not even a mask. Just a different name because #trustissues.

[Proto Man]

Should be fine.

[Gin Yatreg]

Just thought I'd ask this now so I don't screw things up later, but would Gin's utility/defensive shield abilities (i.e. Bubble Shield and Maneuver Platform) be permitted in DA?

[Schwi Dola]

Can I say Genjuro designed the collars for the event?

[Carn_Val]

I'm lost with the moves things. Does Carn's Razor Trap move get nulled as well? It's just biting.

[Proto Man]

@Gin - Your platforms are fine. Your shield too, but it wouldn't be effective against Weapons (thus kind of making it useless, pretty much)

@Desco - They were created by Syntex. You could say that Genjuro was a consultant, if you'd like. I imagine they may have reached out to specialists in Coruscant, Cameot, and elsewhere to get additional data/information, so it wouldn't be a terrible stretch.

@Carn - Teeth, claws, tails are all good but provide no advantage and are weaker than the game's Weapons. But yea, a collar can't prevent someone from having sharp teeth or a tail.
