The addiction still bites! Welcome back!

I'm glad you had time to make your peace, but we're here if you need the huggles!

I'm heading to a training this week coming up in Syracuse from 7/9-7/13. I'll be bringing my laptop but have absolutely no idea what the itinerary is.

Welcome to NA! Where you don't think you'll be here a while but look, it's 2047. Welcome aboard. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot a PM or discord message to an admin (the oranges) or a mod (blues) or any helpful member there is out there!

Gonna be out of town tomorrow 6/14-6/17.

Correct. You may not use a jutsu with 50 cost points total cost (whether in chakra, stamina, or both).

Akumu0...sounds a lot like Kumo. Double the punishment. Don't worry Akumu0, you won't suffer at all, only @wolfnin Joking aside, welcome to the site! Also holy shit deltora quest. Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time.

@Cellar Door I mean the effect is only good once per battle, but yeah it's pretty powerful but variable. Unless you decide to spam RPJs, which could end up backfiring if you want this to trigger. If you still feel as though it's too strong, do you have an alternative? 15%? Non-offensive main phase?

I think the new Heal Bite works well. Approved.

Approved.

Gonna have reduced activity until next week. Taking the psych GREs on Saturday, so ya blue's gonna be stuffing his cortex with mad fax.

Six Paths; Human This feels...super unfun, unless you get off on making other people miserable. The fun part is getting a neat EXP boost, but taking away someone else's until they earn it back is a little counter-productive for the game. When we re-balanced the EXP table there were still gripes about forward progress despite the EXP boost and the fact that everyone else was in the same boat. Since you don't actually lose levels, it's not an ability that would inspire 'loss' or 'feelings of weakness' but rather frustration and getting stuck. It's not that the ability is too strong, I just feel like there are better options out there. I would recommend taking it more in the direction of EXP gain, or perhaps stat losses become permanent in the battle, but are gained back after the battle (that way you are actually making the character weaker). Six Paths; Preta What are the parameters of absorbing chakra? Is this something going to be listed out in the technique? If so, that's fine.

But this doesn't affect turn order it percentiles. It gives an extra action but not based on speed. Let me put it this way: if you lose your main phase action you do not slow down. This is just the reverse. You could RP it as the opponent is suddenly faster or you froze up or whatever but turn order is not affected.

The great lightning magic has restorethed mine interwebz!

Power out AND the internet powerline is broken so...I'll be on my phone but unable to do anything rigorous. Hopefully this doesn't last long!

After thinking about this a bit, I can see that it's a more unfun effect than I had originally in mind. So I decided to try out a new effect! Now this is entirely dependent on the user. Again, as far as costs go I don't have anything to base it on, but subjectively feel like the $600 range is where this fits best. As far as "how does this armor do this?" I'd make the argument that it isn't the armor itself but the ANBU elite training that grants the ability. But you aren't getting the wardrobe without training for it, so this just makes it an easy package.

The Celebration! Attention all ye ninja! Flock to your village streets and participate in the merriment! Celebration threads are now live and will be open until January 10, 2018!

Below you will find an updated list of the gifts available for your pairing this year! We have decided to restructure how this works, so pay attention. Instead of festival tickets, you will simply be able to choose between small gifts and large gifts to be given. To your recipient, you may give: Two (2) Small Gifts [ or ] One (1) Large Gift. Pairings for this event will be PMed to you, so please make sure you have space available in your inbox! Be sure to reference this thread when you have your pairings so you don't give the same gift twice. Gifts will be announced one week after you receive the pairing PM (you will be notified if for some reason this changes). A Note on Costs: All items listed have a cost of 0, and therefore cannot be resold for any value (Unless otherwise stated. You'll know the exception when you see it). Items may however be traded as normal. Techniques and skills possess a cost and then (0) beside it. This means that any character gaining that skill through this event will receive that technique or skill at the cost of 0 SP/JP, but should they teach it to any other character, it would cost the normal amount listed. Gifts of Knowledge Gifts of Mercy Gifts of Wealth Gifts of Power Gifts of Fortitude

I'm quickly finding out this week is not great. Potentially not around much until after Christmas.

Yes, also! Last chances, these go out tomorrow! Be sure that if you want them and I haven't talked to you to confirm an address (sans Tony) you drop a line!

Approved.
