• 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?

    Emergency Ref Outpost

    No, the post is definitely asking someone to take Gevaisa's place for a round so that Mai can be DQ'd faster. The first line is a c/p of a previous request for someone to replace the examinee as well, so.

    Question Box

    It's really up to the ref. I'd really say that if it's a test battle, the ref should ref the round, as it's good practice. Mai might then be DQ'd, in which case Gevaisa can start again with another ref, or someone might take over in Mai's place.

    blazheirio889 vs. Keldeo

    Just do a normal DQ when the appropriate period passes. Rather than a procedure specifically for bans, it's easily covered by normal things for being AWOL. So when blazhy's turn comes and goes normally you treat it normally when she doesn't post in time. If she does get DQ'd without anyone...

    Question Box

    When they pass the DQ time, they lose by DQ, typically. Standard procedure.

    Question Box

    It requires so much concentration that being hit by, like, a rock, will disrupt the whole thing. It's not just a punch that requires time charging up. If you did rock throw at a pokemon charging up a solarbeam it wouldn't ruin the whole attack, but it would for focus punch. That's the primary...

    Question Box

    ugh res why I don't think it makes sense that, if a move uses all of your concentration, you can also think of adding shenanigans to it. Also it emits an intense amount of ~fighting energy~ that I think would be disruptive to most other kinds of energy, even other fighting energy that has the...

    Question Box

    Waiting to act with a higher priority move should remain possible (for example, dodging with quick attack), but in this particular situation, the snorunt is waiting to see if you're going to attack first before using avalanche/frost breath. So if you try to wait until after the snorunt moves...

    allitersonance vs Sylph

    wh...oops... Okay, so let's try something fun. If you think "the enemy is flying", you also think "anti-air capabilities", right? Well, I can't think of anything more anti-air than gravity. Prodigy, that's your job. Well, but we don't need to start with that right away~ Use facade on Chaos...

    Question Box

    Should make it not count in the held item slot, except for the very instant that the pokemon brings it into battle. It makes no sense that having something in your paws prevents the sticky barb from catching on your skin. Also this means nothing gets in the way of spiky hot potato.

    Question Box

    Doesn't that mean that every time either pokemon uses a contact attack, the sticky barb gets passed between them? That's hilarious. Do it.

    Question Box

    I'd say you should be able to recycle an item if it was consumed - if an item was knocked off you can still pick it up again as easily as if you dropped it. If you fling a berry it gets mooshed up and activated on the opponent so it's kind of like you "used" it, but if you fling an iron ball...

    Emergency Ref Outpost

    That's a test battle. The whole point is for the original ref to finish it.

    Question Box

    How about half prizes if each trainer only sent out one pokemon, full monetary prizes if at least one trainer has sent out two?

    Question Box

    Is ASB keeping the weight-based everything for body slam, seismic toss, etc? Seismic toss has completely different summary and description instructions, incidentally.

    Question Box

    They shouldn't be as good as just flatly adding both attacks together either. It's situational when it matters but then it's overly powerful that you can do the full damage of two actions in the time it takes to do one. The whole "doesn't make sense" thing blazhy was talking about applies to...

    Suggestion Box

    It's randomised specifically because Negrek didn't want it to be completely predictable. I think wish had the same logic. It would be two time-wise actions though, future sight hits "between" actions so it can't be blocked by protect and the like.
  18. allitersonance

    Question Box

    Combos haven't really been hammered down, but it's really mostly up to ref interpretation. Negrek's method was adding the damage of both attacks +3% damage at the end (bonus varies, if the combo works well), and the energy cost was a few points more than both would have cost separately...

    Suggestion Box

    Most moves require a little movement to get started, and I think those should be allowed under paralysis too. For physicals, anything that doesn't trigger the burn attack drop (rock slide and EQ normally, for example), and for specials... well, most of them should be fine, but not petal dance...
  20. allitersonance

    Suggestion Box

    Yeah, I was thinking that if we could hammer out moves that paralysis wouldn't affect, truant would largely permit the same moves (in the non-damaging category at least). Truant would be a little more permissive since you can actively relax while it's harder to relax when your muscles are locked...
