morrowind > oblivion

 

[InterimOfZeal]

Is it safe to assume that no one else will be going to Devastation with Tim and me?

 

[Underload]

Yeah, probably, Tony. Unless Meno or Zaj want to go.

 

[Timotee]

morrowind > oblivion

So much truth. Even if robots screwed over my character that went around punching things.

 

[deepseadiva]

I'd go crazy if I could make Devastation, but I must save for Genesis. :/

Haz funz guyz.

 

[Timotee]

Again, if it is only tony and I, I doubt we can afford to go. Alas.

 

[___X___]

i wanna go OOS :O

 

[MoblinMan]

wait, what's wrong with the levelling system?

I bought this because I finished everything in Fallout3 and the guys at the store said this was cool too. Not to mention I only have Live every other week because of the lack of internet at one house.

 

[spiritdragon]

is it just me or is all the text here in smashboards pink?

 

[Lawkk]

Hai guyz. Im in DTX and going to a smashfest tuesday to get *****. Wish me luck <3

 

[Cliche-Guevara]

In oblivion the enemies would level with your character, making every quest appoximately the same difficulty no matter when you did them.

However, since your character only "levels" when you get an increase in one of your primary skills, this means you could take things like Trade, alchemy, and Speech as your main skills and level every other skill (Markmanship, Unarmed, Light Armor, eg...) without actually leveling. You then would be running around with combat skills of a much higher level than any enemy in the game. The reverse of this is if you try to make a character with the main skills of Alchemy or Trade and actually level those skills and neglect the combat skills you will eventually make it near impossible to make it through some quests dues to the enemies being much much higher level than your combat skills.

I hope that made sense, ask Tim if you are still confused.

 

[MoblinMan]

Ok, so let me see if I have this right. In order to stay ahead of the curve, I should work on my NON-primary skills more than my primary ones. Right?

So If I'm a sorcerer I should try kicking some *** with swords and get my block up a ton. Am I getting it?

 

[Cliche-Guevara]

If you want to play a caster class, you should pick your primary skills to be like heavy armor, markmanship, and speech, if you want it to be easiest

Leveling Caster skills from low levels is a real pain in the ***.

 

[Underload]

For some unknown reason I got an absolutely huge urge (erection) to play SSB64.

Somebody bring a setup to Dave's house on Saturday, or what?

 

[Fluxus]

i wanna go OOS :O

Then stop pussing out.

 

[Fluxus]

Then stop pussing out.

Tim, I thought I pm'ed you the password on here. Didn't get it?

Demo, I know what you meant dude. I was talking the 360 too.... Lol.

 

[Timotee]

Nay, the latest PM I have is from mikezor for the videos I posted.

And yeah, that's the problem with Oblivion leveling. If you want to stay competitive, you can't have your primary skills be the skills you want. Like, I tried to make a cool acrobatic guy, so I had things like athletics as my primaries. Turns out that when you do that, you end up way outclassed by baddies fairly quickly.

 

[Fluxus]

I'll try again then.

 

[Timotee]

Well, if you sent it, I still didn't get it. You could always IM or email it to me. Email is my login at gmail

 

[Fluxus]

What's your AIM?

 

[Timotee]

it are Wartortleketchi

 

[MoblinMan]

Are Tim and Tony still going to devastation or no?

Because if they aren't, I just reminded myself to remind Tim to remind himself to bring the sheet music I left over at his house to the smashfest on Saturday.

 

[Underload]

And I need to remind SOMEBODY to bring a N64 and god **** Smash 64 to the smashfest on Saturday.

 

[Timotee]

...Well, David HAS smash 64, so I'm pretty sure it will be there. And we aren't going to Dev. And I never got the pw.

 

[Judo Chop Action Super Buddha]

they arent because tim cant afford that all by himself

btw im playing maple again demethos join me if you want~~~~~~~ Janchor <- gunslinger Fuuj <- assassin~~~

 

[MoblinMan]

And I never got the pw.

Sparkydog-

 

[Fluxus]

that's not it!

Underload, marronator has 64 I believe.

 

[Underload]

Woohoo! Retro!

 

[MoblinMan]

Tony, bring the cello to the smashfest on Saturday ( if Marronator is okay iwth it).

It's time to learn teh first position.

Oh and how to not hold the bow like a caveman, LOL!

 

[Timotee]

But tony is a caveman, just like the geico commercials!

 

[deepseadiva]

If everyone's coming anyway, why not have a little ranking tournament then?

Thoughts?

 

[Underload]

If everyone's coming anyway, why not have a little ranking tournament then?

Thoughts?

Let's do it.

Do people want me to bring a Wii / Brawl codeset / Melee, or anything of that nature?

 

[InterimOfZeal]

I don't think I'll be going to the fest tomorrow. Also, I need to get a cello bow. Practicing with an old violin bow breaks my heart, hurts my ears, and cramps mah style.

But yeah, do RR ranking tournament at David's and gimme the results. Disqualify anyone that shows up for only part of it. Don't even put them on the list.

 

[MoblinMan]

But I gave you a cello bow! D:


Ganon will get 1st place behind Ness ^.^

 

[Underload]

Wow, that sucks that Tony can't show up.

But, I don't think you need to be so strict about the rules. If people have to leave, they have to leave. Use the partial results you have already and try making a list with that. Everybody doesn't have to play everybody to be rank-able.

No offense, but you have no idea what you're talking about.

We've been there and done that. You know what happens? Ferdi and Mikezor come in, **** people at your skill level/higher, then leave. Guess what that means? Instead of you being 7th, you're 14th. Grats.

You want legit rankings, you do it legit. Use either TIO or a paper bracket, best of 2. Add up the points, and give me the results. Tie breakers can either be tied, or should be played as a full set. Don't let someone be ranked higher just because they 2-0'ed the person in RR format. Give the other person a second chance. I won't post the rankings until I get the tio file or paper bracket.

Also, you should make people pay money, so there are no johns. $5 is what I normally do for these things.

Of course, you could just make a new thread for our Brawl rankings, if you want. Just know that I won't use it for NVGA seeding if ya do that.

Sorry, crabby mood so I'm being shorter than I should. No food+being in the sun+being drained from donating+needing to somehow get 128 people to come to our Brawl tournament at supercon=me verrrrrrry grumpy.

But I gave you a cello bow! D:


Ganon will get 1st place behind Ness ^.^

My mommy sez it's a violin bow. Same wif' one of my friends that used to play. They could just both be wrong, but something feels really wrong. It like... scrapes. Especially on the A string, no matter how I hold the cello. D:

Maybe I just need to put a metric crapton more rosin on. I dunno.

 

[deepseadiva]

Yea, I remember our last fail round robin.

Why isn't there TIO for Macs... >___>

 

[YangFuShang]

for anyone that cares, there is a person from lucas arts playing the new remake of monkey island nvm he stoped!!! but game looks real good. Oh yeah also if u wanna watch any of the game play u still can by going here http://www.justin.tv/lucasartsgames/archive

[Underload]

Power rankings are pointless in such a small smash state.
