• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

  • Well, to make it sound fast: First, use less sentences. Each full stop usually implies that the previous idea or action had come to a close, so instead of "Growlithe thought about his attacks. Growlithe punched a hole. Growlithe sat back and smirked at Riolu", you could have "Growlithe thought about his orders, and decided that he would punch a hole using Rock Smash. He did so, creating a rift between himself and that bothersome biped, then leaned back and stuck out his tongue at Riolu." Even though the first is easier to read, the second is much faster. Well, for me, anyway.

    Secondly, use less adjectives. When the Pokémon are just standing there, go on and fill it with description, but when they're in the midst of a fast-paced battle, you may want to trim down on the description a bit. I have the problem of needing more description, though :P

    Finally, read your reffing. If it seems that a particular area is taking too long to read compared to the time of its actual execution, use less dense words. Cut down on the description. Splice sentences. Use easier words.
    Of course. Are you going to have enough time to ref, or doing this to prove that you could if you wanted to (I do that all the time, for some reason)?

    Okay. How can I say this. The round was... boring to read. It's (the prose is) definitely passable notwithstanding some mechanical errors, but you make it sound much slower than it actually is. The calculations look alright. Personally, I would take a point off energy for Dragon Rage, but if you're following the scale exactly, you can't go wrong :P
    Yep.

    Example of Kill ALL the things!

    Wild PIDGEY appears! (is level 2)

    Go, GYARADOS! (is level 100)

    GYARADOS used HYPER BEAM!
    O:
    That's a lot of calculations.
    nuuu the memories are coming back *pushes them away*
    I'm amazed that you can do all that with a pencil and paper. Seriously.
    I would never willingly do all those calculations (at least not now.)
    :D
    Did you get the ref position?
    1 EXP for each pokémon that was sent out, plus one more for each pokémon that pokémon defeats. For instance, if a Riolu is sent out and defeated immediately it earns 1 happiness, while if a Matshtomp is sent out and defeats the pokémon that defeated Riolu and is then defeated it earns 2 EXP.
