The OFFICIAL 'Help Me, Oh Jesus' Thread (Quick Questions/Clarifications)

[Mark]

This is probably a stupid question, but if you're separating from a group, do you still have to wait the hour cooldown?

EX: Group moves to a zone, thirty minutes later could one member of the group split off?

Naw, the movement of the group counts as your movement so you'd have to wait the hour.

There's no way to make requests for the Coliseum, is there?

What do you mean by request?

[MADBULL34]

Maybe he's the Katniss Everdean type and wishes to volunteer as tribute.

No, the wait applies to all members.

Of course there is

[Strazio Rockwell]

Kay cause there was confusion in cbox. You have to make a post seperate from your travel post to chellenge someone right?

Rules say first post you move second post challenges, unless I'm mossing something.

[Karl Jak]

You're correct.

People are confusing challenging another person to PvP with "I intend to park my ass here and beat the shit out of anyone who tries to take the item drop that lands in a few hours"

[Dane Regan]

Could I write a move post with a challenge post prewritten and send them out back to back?

Because, as far as I'm aware, the only time limits are the 1 move per hour thing.

[Karl Jak]

You are correct

[Professor Sunshine]

Hey does the Syntech Station 17 OM count torwards the OM earned as a bonus after the end of DA?

[Karl Jak]

yes

[Larfleeze]

Okay, so I'm debating ending our current match with Dust and Dawn by making a suicide attack on the cave itself attempting a cave in at the end of my second post (when I eventually make it). Now, since Karl will be the one having the last say on how the match goes, my real question is: how sporting is that, exactly? I mean, it's something my character would do, and it'd be up to Karl to say how effective the suicide-and-bring-them-all-down-with-me goes, but at the same time it feels like it might be unfair to do something that's attempting to ruin the chances of three other characters and effectively throwing the fight at the last moment.

I know there are other characters with a specific suicidal last F you type attacks (Strazio), but this is DA.

So, my questions are: 1. would this be an OOC dick move, like, something actually mean to my fellow combatants? 2. are there any rules against attempting a suicide attack in DA (I didn't see anything, but who knows)? and 3. if someone used a kinetic energy grenade on themselves as they threw themselves into the heart of a volcano would that just fizzle out hilariously or explode hilariously?

[Karl Jak]

1. no?
2. Nope. Nothing that says deliberate suicide attempts will be any more spectacular or grant you special stuff, though
3. What? (there are volcanoes on the island?)

[Dane Regan]

Could one prime teach another a rp fodder spell/ability during DA? I know getting new moves is a no, as is buying anything, I just think it could be a fun way to compare magic and such during the travel and waiting around posts. 

The ability in question, should that affect your decision:
[spoiler]Sparks:
You have the power of a small special effects team in the palm of your hands. The caster can make small sparks or flames of any colour appear within 10ft/3m of themselves. The do not produce any heat or damage anything. The sparks disappear in the air shortly after crackling. The flames disappear within 5 seconds, or when patted out. The duration can't be extended, but the spell can be recast.

General rules:

[*]Can be cast quickly (i.e. in the time it takes to clap or click your fingers). Some motion is required and always has to be a noise producing gesture. Such as a stomp, or jingling a bell.

[*]They won't directly hurt anyone. Not even the slightest tingle.

[*]The use of multiple sparks can overlap.

[*]Cannot be used while taking damage.
(rules irrelevant to Sparks that are shown on my roster have been omitted/edited for clarity - it still does the same thing)
[/spoiler]

[Omni]

Yes.

[Enel]

I like to follow my own rules for questions, and let other people see the answers, as well as keep it clear.

Can colosseum culls happen if the colosseum is still hosting a fight?

[Karl Jak]

Yes.

[Enel]

I forget the answer, but if you say "I'm parking myself here and waiting for the item drop", you still have to post a 10-worder to grab it when it drops, right? Assuming nobody else is there.

[Karl Jak]

You do not. Once you park and Quote-Declare that you want it, you don't have to do anything else.

[Gildarts]

May I include that Tamsin vanished in my post ? She was making breakfast

[Karl Jak]

Only if she disappears mid-breakfast and you all feel sad because none of you fuckers can probably cook as well as she can.

[Deadpool]

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but I'm going to ask for the sake of the community:


Are characters allowed to use the terrain they're fighting in to their advantage without having to create individual moves to do so.

Ex. Can I throw sand into someone's eyes without making a move for it; can I hit someone with a log without creating a move for it?
