• 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?

    On Direct Recovery

    I don't think changing the numbers could possibly make direct recovery interesting. the concept of direct recovery is that the battle goes on for longer. you can also compare the usage of stall-type tactics in tournament-type play (where winning is the goal) compared to normal play (where in the...

    On Chill

    I mean, you're chilling at the same time you execute the move, so I'm not seeing why you can't, idk, relax as you digest your food or something. besides, being able to chill keeps rest restricting your actions for two actions somewhat in line with recover &c., I think? I mean, compared to...

    On Direct Recovery

    I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THIS GOES ANYMORE it is a hugepost please read it ;; okay, look, asb balance is hard to evaluate. there are broken things, no contest. but you know, direct healing isn’t some new untested thing that’s getting introduced for the first time here, and rest is a move learned by...

    "i agree with Mai mostly, though I think a numbers calc is very helpful tbh because a lot of people (like me) are very not-good with numbers and that turns them off the whole idea of reffing or participating when, in fact, the numbers play a very small part in everything. the fact that you /can/...

    "Battles where trainers' commands are irrelevant (such as Metronome-only battles) do not yield any money, experience, or other prizes and should not be recorded in the Database. (The referee still gets paid, however.)" so uh that drunk battle

    I'd be willing, though I think there are a few people who'd be more qualified.

    "After that, or in the action after that you have to take your off-action immediately after the combo" according to most recent negrek rulings, you would have to lots of us (x=3,n=3, I think, this is a small sample) thought this was stupid but well you can go discuss this

    Suggestion Box

    solarbeam is indeed vague, but this one specifically is a non-issue. the energy cost is half the health. there is no undefined behaviour. there is no exception. it is precisely specified. (if this conflicts with your concept of the fluff, it's probably ... because you're not imagining it the...

    Misreadings and stuff

    fun fact: castilian ll is isomorphic to other iberian ll/lh representing palatal lateral approximant (historically it had that value, too, it might still in some regions) I think most anglophones give "polio" three syllables so it probably wouldn't sound similar anyway but

    Question Box

    "If the user is slower than the opponent, the base power of this attack is equal to the absolute value of the difference in base speeds between the user and the target opponent, up to 150 base power. Otherwise, its base power is 25." slightly slower is worse than being faster, might as well...

    Question Box

    payback also doubles in power if the opponent is frozen or fully paralysed or asleep or recharging or unable to act, as long as they did those things faster than you. I'm not sure why this is any more absurd than the concept of bide/counter/mirror coat/revenge/avalanche in the first place. they...

    "I do definitely want to bring sigstuff back soon, it was a lot of fun, but I guess it isn't really as much of a hustle as I expected. I figured people would be a lot more worked up about it than they are... Although we might still not want to keep them waiting for too long. V IMPORT gosh
