ADDIT'S PROFILE

What are you talkin’ about, I always enjoy it when you put up the stats for every month! And I also like to see how I’m personally doing myself on the overall rankings. I was actually looking forward to last month because I’m trying to get into the 4000+ post column, and I think I’m already there right now... Either way, it’s something to look forward to every month, even if I don’t happen to post in the very threads themselves that much. But I still care!

If only there was a way to do it that involved less effort from you. An automated script, mayhap?

Yeah, I wish...doesn’t it take, like, 3 hours to fully compile everything? I wish it could be done a lot faster…

And Sooz, you gotta ease up on the Chrono Trigger a bit…like, seriously. I love that game too, but Jesus, there's a such thing called too much.

This sounds like fun! I've never played a gacha game before, but I would imagine that it's something similar to the examples that you listed above. Anyways, here's two from my game. I might do some other ones later:


Name: Richard Monopoly II
Franchise: Monopoly / Monopolo
Class: Gambler
Weapon: Staffs, Rods
Equipment: Robes, Suits

Playstyle: For being one of the richest old men around in RPGMaker history, Richard Monopoly II isn’t that much of a fighter persay as he prefers to let his incredible luck do all the talking for him. Sure, you could give him an amazing, specialized weapon and increase his strength stat to do some real damage if you happen to roll a double or roll just right, but the main category you should be focusing on is rasing his overall luck stat, as the higher it is the more effective of a character that he will be. He still isn’t that much on paper, and is it bit of a wildcard, but maybe that wildcard might happen to turn the tides in battle in your favor.

Overdrives:
It’s A Perfect Match! ~ Property Edition ~
When Overdrive has been activated and Richard has acquired a full color set after drawing the right amount of cards, the targeted enemy will then be trapped inside a construction site where after building a house with the enemy trapped inside it, Richard will then shake his head in disapproval and will then want to build a massive hotel in the area instead. After making a quick call to someone from above, a helicopter carrying a massive, finished hotel will then drop the hotel on top of the already pre-existing house, crushing the enemy inside. He then nods his head in approval to the head foremen as he then shakes his hand. The amount of damage dealt will be determined by what color set you decide to use on your Overdrive. The more luxurious the set, the more damage that will be dealt.

It’s A Perfect Match! ~ Utilities Edition ~
If Richard has acquired both the Water Works and Electric Company when Overdrive is used, a helicopter will appear overhead as the targeted enemy will become startled because of the noise in the backdrop. Richard will then order the helicopter above to open the hatchet doors, which will then drop over a hundred gallons of water on top of the enemy’s head, which will cause damage to it, especially to those who are weak against water. Then, as the enemy is trying to gather its composure and wash the water away from its eyes, Richard will then push something on his phone, which will cause some panels to come out from underneath the ground. And just as the enemy has finished clearing the water away from its eyes, it then looks to the ground in utter dread, before looking back at Richard again as he pushes the button with a smirk on his face as the panels begin to electrify causing lightning elemental damage to the enemy, and even potentially having a chance at causing paralysis.

It’s A Perfect Match! ~ Railroad Edition ~
If Richard has acquired all four railroads and uses Overdrive, the sound of a high speed train in the distance will then sound about throughout the air, as the targeted enemy will be confused to know what’s going on, as it looks in all four directions before, finally, the Reading Railroad, with Richard Monopoly on it, will run over the enemy as they frantically try to get away from it. After they are hit, Richard will then blow the horn before getting off the train.

Active:
With The Flick Of A Wrist
Rolls two dice. Whatever combination of numbers are shown on the dice will indicate the modified number of extra damage added to your overall attack. If you happen to roll doubles, you will then attack the enemy consequentially in a row based on how many you rolled with that indicated number. However, should you roll Double 1’s, Richard will then be placed under suspension and cannot perform an action for up to three turns while he waits for the suspension to be lifted. (Cannot be healed or removed by another party member, as it must be removed naturally by waiting the three turns.)

Chance It
Richard will draw a random chance card. Whatever it says on the card will determine the type of effect that it does. Sometimes it can be good, like automatically KO'ing the targeted enemy with an instant death attack (extremely rare), and other times it can totally backfire on you and your entire group, such as you losing precious gold or having one of your party members at random be suspended for three whole turns.

Passive:
Draw A Card
Draws a random title deed card, ranging from a lowly Brown / Dark Purple property to the more expensively lavish, and extremely hard to get, Blue property cards. You can only carry a maximum of four title deed cards at any time before needing to discard or use any.

Discard A Card
Chooses any title deed card in your hand that you wish to discard as you throw it at an enemy to do some moderate damage to it based on the title deed.


Name: The Tax Man
Franchise: Monopoly / Monopolo
Class: Thief
Weapon: Sack
Equipment: Suits

Playstyle: - The Tax Man may be fighting on your side for once, but that doesn’t mean that he’s entirely on your side at heart, as he still likes to take money from unexpected civilians (including your own party members at times) and add it to his giant collective sack. Heck, he even has a move that completely abandoned everyone on the battlefield so he can go deliver the goods back to homebase. What a piece of s*it.

However, if it’s more additional gold that you’re after to further expand your overall gold count - then he’s your man! Just raise taxes and place some Income Tax spaces on the map and have unsuspecting fools happen to land on it and you’ll be in the business. Just make sure that YOU don’t happen to land on it instead. And if the going happens to get tough, or you want to squirrel away some nuts for the winter, then just fly back to headquarters and leave the fighting to the professionals (…if you can call them that).

Overdrives:
Insult
When The Tax Man’s Overdrive has been activated, the Tax Man will fall from his Escalation Plane as he lands next to the slightly startled enemy as he, she or it will begin to step back a bit slowly. He then picks himself up, slowly approaches the enemy, with a sinister smile on his face, as he pulls out a microphone, as the screen begins to tint to black a bit, and then says one of his infamous insults towards the enemy, hoping to either cause them to go berserk, lower their overall defences, miss a turn, or just do nothing based on the insult. You can choose between one of three randomly generated insults and, just like from the actual source material, his insults will be generated based on the enemy’s gender, position, and whether this is the first time, or many times, that he used his Overdrive on him, her or it.

Active:
Money Sack(ed)
The Tax Man will beat the targeted enemy with his giant money sack. The amount of damage that this will do will depend on how much money that The Tax Man has stolen taken away from the opposing enemies. Also, the more money that’s in the sack, the less accurate it will be when trying to hit the enemy target, so be careful about how much money you have in the sack!

Governmental Seize
Based on your current position on the map, The Tax Man will place one of his Income Tax spaces and hide it away from plain view so both you and the enemy cannot see where he placed it. If someone happens to land on that space - whether it be friend or foe - he’ll then take a finite amount of money away from that unit and add it to his money sack for more additional damage. Of course, if you happen to be victorious over the opposing force, you get to keep everything and add it to your overall gold total.

Passive:
Raise Taxes
Raises the overall, maximum amount of money that you can take from a single unit at any one given time. The amount it will go up will depend on your overall luck rating.

File Early
The Tax Man will board his Escalation Plane as he proceeds to leave the battlefield to go cash in what he has taken from inside his money sack and give his portion to both the government and securely add it to your overall gold totals, meaning that you won’t lose the money inside even if your entire party has been completely wiped out. After two turns, The Tax Man will return to the battlefield again with a much lighter money sack. If The Tax Man is the last remaining unit left and he leaves the battlefield, it will be automatic game over for you (but at least you'll still be able to keep whatever you've collected inside the sack).

I would like to pick Blues because I get double points even if I don't pick my winner right?

Nah, if you had picked the Blues you would only get the set standard amount of points like with everything else. You have to go with your Stanley Cup Champion Pick the whole way through if you want double the points (although there’s no shame in backing out if you feel things aren’t going to particularly work out for them, or for other strategy reasons).

Maybe we wanted to go down the tesseract route to be more sophisticated. Besides, crystals are so passé nowadays...

Don't feel bad about this at all! This is beyond your control and this is probably one of the most valid reasons to abandon a project ever.

That or somebody bribed her with a big sack of cash.

And everyone here is right; you shouldn’t put yourself down because of circumstances that were beyond your control (...unless you were the one that started the fire, lol). Besides, we’re just all relived that you’re all right and seem to be slowly picking up the pieces in your life. I couldn’t imagine going through something like you had just been through. And besides, maybe this was god’s way of telling you that your previous version wasn’t ready yet for the world to see and that when that day finally arrives for this game to come back from the grave, it will come back die hard with a vengeance!
