Jake the Sage Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 [quote name='BrokenHeart15' timestamp='1346284106' post='6015672'] Logically, LARP would be just like a play, except there isn't a solid script. [/quote] Well, as stated, I've never been in a LARP before and thus have no idea what is involved in it. So I didn't know if you could just randomly do as you please or if there was some overridding plot everyone had to conform too. [quote name='useD Swordsman' timestamp='1346284672' post='6015684'] [color=#0000cd]If I'm bored and the option is open I might LARP but I probably wouldn't normally just go out and find wheverever it is or invest much time and resources (if any) for it..[/color] [/quote] We're in the same boat DF. We aren't going to go out and find it, so the oppertunity would have to come to us and we need to be pretty board. Which, without my internet at home, I am [i]really[/i] bored. F*cking AT&T not fixing the wifi the [i]first[/i] time they say they will >> As far as I've learned all you would have to make a sword out of is a $1 pool noodle, a bamboo (wither you buy it or find it is up to you) and duct tape . . . that is all. I guess you could replace the pool noodle with something more "high end" like quilt material or foam.

Thar Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I wanna say it's like a generic LARP, just more spell-based and with wands. Sounds kinda lame, actually. I prefer fighting like a neanderthal with a polearm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake the Sage Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Whenever I think of LARP that is kind of the [i]only [/i]thing that runs through my mind. A bunch of guys wandering through woods dressed as wizards throwing paper balls at each other while shouting out, "Lightning!"

Thar Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 That's obviously not the only thing you do. While lightning bolt is the most common spell in the game, there's usually only a couple people in the group that use it. The only thing you should get used to is calling damage. That takes some time to get in the habit of doing it right before every swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headmaster Monokuma Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Under normal circumstances, I would've loved to play Broken. But this isn't normal. I'm just popping in to let you all know I'm leaving, potentially for good this time around. Recently, a good friend of mine passed away. I've seen people die before, but this was different. He was a good student, a leader in the local JROTC program and a damn good one, a very good person. Pretty much everyone who knew him loved him. Well, hope is a fickle thing. Just Wednesday, things had been looking great for him to make a recovery, but today, everything went down hill and he passed away. When a wonderful person like him passed away, it made me question myself. And I decided that I probably shouldn't waste time on YCM anymore. So, I'm hoping to leave and do something productive, like he had been doing. I might be back, but I probably won't. I just ask any praying person here to remember his family, they're in for a rough time ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake the Sage Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ah okay I hadn't thought about that. Yeah I am certain that would be good, but then again I'm used to calling out the body parts I hit when fighting with a weapon against some of my friends. Actually I've discovered I'm much better at two swords than one, which naturally transfered over to my roleplaying since now my character uses two swords at once. [color=#ee82ee]I enjoy using a staff. You can use it as a wooden sword and a staff at the same time. And hi Desu![/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You call out the amount of damage you're dealing before each swing, and if it hits, the damage is dealt. And I doubt that even on the highest level with the highest damage multiplier that 300 damage can even be logically called during an actual game.

Jake the Sage Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Okay has anyone seen Team Four Star read/spoof '50 Shades of Grey'? Its okay if you haven't or have long since watched it. I did a few days ago and honestly it is one of their best things they've done, though I still want to see DRBA S2 with the Andriods and Cell.

Jake the Sage Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Okay I started watching Gurren Laggen, only two episodes though, and I can say I already see the resemblance between Yoko and Lora. Past that there hasn't been much else information which I can state that yes or no I am capable of being able to use the so called "spiral force" that Fusion had mentioned earlier. Though to be honest piloting the mechas in Gurren Laggen will be plausible for me if I can manage to get a hold of . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically unless I hadn't been given that oppertunity I'd have never gone through with seeing it until a very long time has passed. Though to be honest again I don't think I'll be able to use spiral force Okay actually I just read it and the answer is absolutely, positively no. I CANNOT use Spiral Energy because it is based on "the power of evolution, symbolized by a drill, generated by DNA-based beings such as humans whose double helix molecular structure". Becaue of that, specifically the latter part, I am unable to use it considering I'm not human and don't even have DNA . . . So yeah, I can only pilot the mecha. [color=#ee82ee]Wait.....I think [i]I[/i] might be able to use Spiral Power, but I'm not interested in it at all. Unlike Dad I don't go looking for new powers/abilities/skills to add to the ever massing bundle I already have or might have.
