King Dumb was knocked out!

Vespiquen (Jamming-Type)
Played by: King Dumb

At the end of this Day Phase, the total damage taken by Vespiquen will be reduced by 40, plus another 40 if Lilligant is still in the game. This ability can be used alongside your daily Attack, but removes its secondary effect.

Passive: Garden's Monarchs

The ghost girl slowly backed away from the approaching crowd.

"You fools! Do you not see the error of your rash behavior!?"

"Pretty big words for a small punk," Lopunny sneered.

"You attacked our town." Vespiquen crossed her arms. "You are to be punished."

Giratina looked back and forth across the swarm of faces. "Every passing day! Each and every second you allow to slip by! More and more of your original power slips through the cracks!" Her look of worry slowly melts into a disturbed grin. "I'm astonished you can still use special attacks! No, your pitiful desire to mesh with the humans... to strip away your identities, your strengths... your very essences! It makes me sick!"

"And YOU make me BOILING MAD!!" screamed Primeape.

And then he socked her in the jaw.

The girl coughs, now knocked onto the ground. "It's... it's too late. Even now... my power continues to spread... and soon... Ehehehehe..."

Pachirisu raised an arm. "How do you get her to shut up?"

"Probably didn't punch her hard enough," Chesnaught frowned.

And then everyone socked her in the everything.

The shadow frantically slid through the dark, moonlit streets.

"... I fear my time is nearly at its end. This may be my last mark... I'll have to make it count."







"Everyone! Quickly!"

Audino stumbled into the main plaza, dusting herself off.

"I-it's that weird energy! Some of it... it's missing from the fainted Pokémon! But... but Gallade's gone missing!"

"The heck does that even mean!?" Swampert shouted.

Audino stood on the tree stump. "It means there's an extra Pokémon here somewhere, and they took Gallade! So, uh... don't talk to strangers?"

"ADDITIONAL ENERGY LINK CONFIRMED," buzzed Porygon-Z. "DISGUISED POKEMON IN IMMEDIATE VICINITY."

"Thank you... for that informative report..." Pachirisu sighed.

A Pokémon protected itself... against nothing!

"What kind of power is this!?"

The shadow shrieked to itself, angrily storming through the moonlit village streets.

"How can such a mindless idiot possibly contain that much raw strength!?"

A dark portal is ripped open on another wall. The shadow growls angrily, tearing it open further.

"She's a pup! A scamp! A runt of the litter! She's not even evolved!"

The shadow pulls its victim through the other side, bearing its claws immediately.

"... I've had enough of this farce."

It was a good idea at the time.

The ghost of Rozark was haunted with 10 damage!

In my infinite wisdom, cunning, and luxurious facial hair, I completely forgot to plan for what happens in the case of a tie.
So, I decided to put all the pressure on my right-hand man, Lego.

[2:54:14 AM] SmashBro: two people are tied for most damage
[2:54:14 AM] SmashBro: what do

and then I had to leave and go to work

then I got back and several people were (reasonably) upset
so to remedy the situation, updates will now happen at 2 AM EST instead of 2 PM EST

thanks for playing

The Pokémon did as they were told, returning to their homes for the night. The curtains were closed. The doors were locked. Everyone was trying their best to get a good rest, despite the unsettling news that there was a traitor in their midst.

Everyone was sleeping... except for one.

The shadow lurked through the dark alleys, creeping up to Lilligant's home.

"That spineless Lilligant... quiet, considerate, caring. A slow thinker. ... Analytical." The shadow spat at the ground. "Leave the nice ones alone too long, they'll blind you with their kindness. And then they'll smother you."

It slid one hand along the building's wooden wall. Soon, a swirling vortex was torn between the dimensions.

"... She must be stopped."







"AAAAAAAAAHHH!!"

Audino let out a shriek in the middle of town. Soon, the other Pokémon were gathered around again.

Lilligant was collapsed, lying face-first on the brick tile. She seemed somewhat conscious, yet not... entirely there.

"Wh--" Swampert gripped her forehead with one hand. "What!? How!?"

"I'm... not sure. She's completely paralyzed... it seems more like she's Frozen." Audino sat down. "And she kept mumbling something, 'Darker, darker... The darkness swallows all...' Over and over."

Rotom crossed its arms. "This is stupid. We can get snatched outta our own homes!?"

"AFFIRMATIVE." Porygon-Z lit up. "THE DEFECTOR MUST BE NEUTRALIZED IMMEDIATELY."

"Well..." Audino paused. "It's... not so simple. I was looking over Seedot, and... that vile energy over him, it's the same as what's got Lilligant all stiffened up. It's not just one Pokémon."

"Great." Gallade spins the end of a twig around in his mouth. "So we don't know who they are... or how many."

"Just... give me a bit more time," Audino pleaded. "If you find one of the bad Pokémon, I should be able to see how much energy it can produce. And with that, I can tell how many of those Pokémon it would take to... well..." She points over at Lilligant. "To do that."

"Guess we have no choice," Duskull sighs. "Alright everyone, here's what we know so far..."

Rozark was knocked out!

"Whoa! Seedot!"

As the Pokémon woke up and wandered outside of their homes, they were greeted by the sight of a small child, dressed in baggy brown clothing and wearing a round bobble cap, passed out in the middle of town.

"Alright, alright!" Chesnaught huffed, shoving past the crowd of onlookers. "Outta da way!"

Audino followed closely behind Chesnaught. She hopped over to the boy's side, examining his body for injuries.

Lilligant covered her mouth with one hand. "Is he... is he okay?"

"Well... looks like he's just knocked out real bad." Audino turned to the group. "... But there's some strange energy at work here. It feels... vile, almost. Someone in town's responsible for this."

"WHAT!!" shouted Primeape. "That really gets me BOILING!!"

Golurk raised an arm. "Calm down. Audino said it herself, Seedot's fine. He just needs rest." He stomps over to a tree stump, looking over the crowd. "Our best strategy is to try and locate the traitor, and knock them out. Once we know who it is, we can formulate a more... effective way of dealing with them."

The Pokémon uneasily nodded in agreement, and began discussing amongst themselves who the traitor could possibly be...

"Well... that didn't work." Swampert crossed her arms. "So what now, hot-shot?"

"Everyone, please," Golurk pleaded. "At least now, we have leads. Each Pokémon's behavior, their movements, the way they spoke. Now there's a starting point for further investigation tomorrow."

"To--" Swampert leaped up, shoving both hands against Golurk's chest. "Tomorrow!? We gotta clobber that two-faced traitor now!"

Lilligant points at the setting sun. "M-may I... remind everyone how late it's gotten?"

"... She's right." Poochyena growls with a frown. "Everyone, go home. Don't get caught outside tonight. ... If you don't wanna end up like Seedot, that is."

hi cool Day 1 is over thanks for playing

for future reference, Lego and Freeman are helping me run things behind the scenes
so if either of them closes the current phase instead, they totally have the authority to do so

also please for the love of Arceus bold whoever you're voting for
most people did this (great !!) but Knux didn't do it when he changed his vote in the middle of the post
those kinds of things can be easily passed by if you're not paying attention

In the dark of night, a shadow looms over the lonely village town. Its red eyes gleam as it peers over the hillside.

"Immense power, forged from the synergy between two trusted battle partners... once the very essence of this region, the source of its lifestyle... and now, the very thing threatening its existence. Pokémon and humans, tainted by a great excess of energy, now starting to resemble one another..."

The figure raises an arm in front of its face, turning its hand over. Wiggling its fingers.

"I've already been tainted," it sighs. "Corrupted, disfigured... bound to an inferior form."

The shadow drifts down the hill, wandering through the abandoned streets, peering through building windows with its bright glare.

"The others don't seem to mind nearly as much. Maybe this half-bastardized fusion is something they've craved all along. Or perhaps they fail to recognize the great energy they now emit because of their new forms..."

"It was simple, tricking them to accept me into their community..." The figure strolls away from the village, looking at its reflection in the lake nearby. "At least two of them already consider me their 'friend'. How ridiculous. The only way those imbeciles can consider us 'companions' is to help further my cause. Stopping this disease from spreading any further. And for that, this town... must be destroyed."

The shadow stops for a moment, looking up at the stars in the moonlit sky.

"Well, at least I've got that moronic shrine maiden at my fingertips. Thinking she can grant wishes... pathetic. Only power gets you what you want in this world. Not childlike fairy-tale foolishness."

"And soon..." the shadow smiles, retreating into the night. "I'll be able to get exactly what I want. Hmm hmm hmm..."

Some players were converted to the mafia team!

MM8BDM Discussion / Re: MM8BDM v5 - Weapon Tuning (Atomic Fire)

« on: April 13, 2016, 06:09:03 PM »

hi brief thoughts
I agree with most of the points brought up earlier, I'm just formatting them


Atomic Fire - Level 2 Incinerator

uncharged > Level 1 charge time decreased
Level 1 > Level 2 charge time increased
at Level 1, a "Durability" meter is displayed over the ammo bar
Durability decreases with damage taken; zero Durability breaks the charge (restarting after a short delay, if Fire is held)
Durability starts at X (15? 20?), and increases by X when Level 2 is reached

Aside from the obvious problem of the full charge, another gripe I have is just how short the window of the half-charge currently is. It takes about 4 seconds to get to half-charge, but only about a second and a half before a full charge is reached. This window is so short, that without the distinct charge sound, I'm sure most players would have forgotten it was even there. I'm all for seeing weapons being used in different ways (the uncharged firing rate and ammo buffs were a godsend), and if the midcharge was more viable, I feel like the tactic of "hide until Atomic is ready" wouldn't be so prevalent if the Atomic Fire user had something to work with. Conversely, this also helps with the suggested balancing point of losing the charge; not only would the opponent be encouraged to chase down the Atomic Fire user and force their charge to fizzle out, but the Atomic Fire user would also feel encouraged to release the charge early, possibly dealing some damage with the half-charge instead of gambling on the OHKO.

But that's just a theory.



As for "problem children", my focus turns not to a dominant or overpowering weapon, but one that is far too weak and situational to even be considered viable, despite its popular nickname: Search Snake.
