Count to 42 Before 42, Dovashy or (sometimes) Stormgiggle, or Sir Hugs posts

[FortyTwo42 1,287]

The revision of my awe-inspiring dominance!

 

HP: 3

MP: 2

Physical attack: 5

Magic attack: 3

Physical defense: 4

Magic defense: 2

Speed: 3

Luck: 2

Interesting. When the good of counting games is at risk and all of us team up to form the best party there has ever been to save them, you'd have the role of the physical heavy hitter!

 

 

Oh, uhhh, I don't know where the well is. If I find it, I'll...get back to you on that.

Ask Safer-Stormgiggle, he knew where it was!

 

 

...Didn't mean it as an insult...Just didn't understand most of it-

Don't worry, I'm impossible to offend. And I know that you wouldn't do that, my friend.

 

Hey, the rhyming's back! Anyway, as for not understanding it... Maybe I need to give an example of how that works. But in order to give an example, I'll need to actually come up with some abilities for myself... I still have a lot of work to do! I will remain a top-notch egghead for a while longer!

 

 

Hey look, useful information towards your demise.

I thought I've been very open about the country I live in. I'll even mention the state: I live in Western Australia. I don't get any more specific than that, though. Internet safety and all that. What if I become extremely famous online and people want to come and stalk me?

 

 

420 from the (Must I say, marvelous) picture, plus 126 from last freakout sums up to 546 off the top of my head. So you'll need to find 116 points worth to prove I'm telling the truth.

Good Luck!

Plus 1 from geussing your favorite number and plus 4 from something else I think

We'll see when I tally everything up. Don't forget that, with the exception of that one time I just responded to heaps and heaps of comments because you haven't gotten a triple dethrone in a while, only respect points given in dethrones count.

 

However, such a task isn't a high priority of mine, sorry. Don't expect it to happen shortly.

Didn't quite notice then.

The counting has begun

 

 

I'll need to actually come up with some abilities for myself

Abilities as in, attacks?

Or something similar

or not related in anyway whatsoever

Hmm... I think the best way to describe this is to think of is as all the commands I would theoretically have at my disposal were I a character in a Final Fantasy-like game. So, there'd be my basic attack, which is the pathetically weak whacking someone with my floating 4 or 2, and then there'd be my skills and magic abilities, which would include things from magical attacks to making doubles of myself to creating a flash of light to blind foes. My maths abilities will probably be just as diverse, ranging from dealing damage to healing to inflicting status conditions to whatever else I can think of that's fitting.

So, something similar

Got it.

So in conclusion, I verify Nomad Deps was correct about the post being 124+. Now I'm about to deal with the rest of you messing this up, aren't I?

Yay! I was ri-

MESSAGE FROM THE FUTURE: Actually, it turns out you're completely right! The very first post that was at the top of a page was the 4 on page 315, but it turns out that 4 is wrong! If you go to page 314, there are 4 posts on that page, so the first post on page 315 should be a 5! Until Punicpunch said 31, you were all 1 behind! Punicpunch actually fixed everything then! So, now I have to go through all those counting errors again and change my comments on them. Why did you all have to mess up in such a complicated way?! I have to keep shuffling around my brohoofs to make sure I'm brohoofing the correct 42nd and 84th post!

Oh, oops

 

Well, that does add to 24, so it's balanced in terms of adding to the same number as if every category had the average value of 3. But if stats are going to be as high as 6 or 8, can we really call 3 the average number now? Will we have to redefine the scale so it's 1 to 9 with 5 being the average number to stats should add up to 40?

I did at least address why I did that

 

Normally, I'd ask what this recoil thing is. But I'm pretty sure someone else is about to ask the same thing. By the way, you're aware those stats only add to 22, right? Is that to balance out your recoil thing, so when that's added it comes up to 24?

You got the reason in one

 

Also, why does everyone seem to like magical attacks? Everyone's low physical defense is starting to look like it won't matter at all.

Well, mine was less magic attack, since I'm a buffing class, it's more improving the power of my buffs

 

Net H'cam?

 

Oh, Mach Ten, right. You really like your speed. By the looks of things, I'm not too sure if I'll be able to land a hit on you! Well, at least it's a good thing I tend not to attack physically. Compared to math based explosions, shadow magic and lightning stuff, smacking something with a giant 4 or a 2 sounds like a pathetically weak move. But hey, it's an option I have!

Yeah, of course I like my speed, going fast is awesome

Which is why I love speed posting

 

Okay, if you're made of your element, perhaps lightning is better than wind for moving quickly. But light is the fastest thing in the universe, so does that mean I should have max speed? Well, I'm not made of light, I just use it in my attacks, so I guess not...

Well, honestly, I'm imagining that my character can turn into electricity or surround himself in it more than that he's made of lightning, which would probably cost some MP, so he's not *always* electricity, if he were, he'd probably be invincible

 

Secondly, about generic RPG character stuff. I believe I've come up with a great mechanic for myself to incorporate my love of maths into my fighting style, which I call my math meter. It's a value that starts at 21 by default, and depending on the abilities I use it can end up going all the way down to 0 or all the way up to 42. Most of my abilities are sorted into two groups, which I call additive and subtractive. Additive abilities become stronger when the math meter is closer to 0 and weaker when the math meter is closer to 42, but whenever an additive ability is used, the math meter increases slightly. Subtractive abilities are the opposite, they're stronger when closer to 42 and weaker when closer to 0, and they always decrease the math meter. In general, using an ability over and over will make it weaker since the math meter is moving towards the value that makes the ability weaker. But if I'm cleaver and, for example, use additive abilities many times to bring the meter close to 42, my subtractive abilities will become very powerful! And if the meter gets all the way to 0 or 42, I can use my limit break, after which it gets reset to 21 again.

 

Now all I need to do is come up with what these abilities and limit breaks actually do.

nice. Edited January 27, 2015 by Nomed Deps

I like it too

That way, when you make mistakes and I correct them, I get respect points I can use for future shop things stuffs.

I do at least try and correct them most of the time

I said most of the time, it's hard to do it on mobile

Hate to break it to you, but...

I was using mobile through the entire dethrone yesteday until 42 came...

And I was watching Hobbit 2, in bed, sick.
