Round 7

Dark Shadow 1337 OO

Health: 55%
Energy: 19%
(Blitzkrieg) Starmie (X) <Illuminate>
Commands: Toxic ~ Brine ~ Twister
Status: Tired, but confident. Evasiveness +2

Pikazhew OO

(Mina Aino) Meloetta (X) <Serene Grace>
Commands: U-Turn ~ Echoed Voice ~ Skill Swap
Status: Singing a much sadder opus than before. Attack -2, Paralyzed (severe, 1 more action)

Mina could do nothing but watch as she stood stock-still her limbs still clenched, unmoving while her much faster opponent got to work. With no gullet to work with, Blitzkrieg proceeded to spin as fast as it could, sinking itself into the ground, producing an assortment of dirt, shredded grass, and the nasty fertilizer it was looking for. It quickly massed the stuff into a glob, and with skills envied by the best athletes, flicked the ball up and whacked it at Mina. With no easy way to dodge in her condition, she let the ball strike her, and felt the poison course into her veins. Not wishing to be outdone, Mina pushed her rickety body through the pain of paralysis and developed a mighty strike with her tail, hurting Blitzkrieg much more than it appeared. Struggling through the pain, she returned to a safe distance as quickly as possible.

((Blitzkrieg Health -8 Energy -4/Mina Aino Energy -5))

Blitzkrieg could no longer ignore how tired it was getting, but its moves still had to be performed. Conjuring up the power of the sea that it knew so well, Blitzkrieg launched a burst of salty, frothy water at Mina, who could once again do nothing to avoid the hit. The slat from the water dug into her already present wounds, and she gritted her teeth as she felt her cuts sting and burn. Shaking herself off, Mina opened her mouth wide and began to scream, her usual heartwarming soprano tones becoming the ravaged calls of the pained. Her vocal chords being so strong, the scream became a wall of sound, a sonic boom that rustled the grass of the field and slammed into the waiting Starmie. Blitzkrieg was pushed back by the onslaught, having nowhere to go.

((Blitzkrieg Health -6 Energy -8/Mina Aino Health -21 Energy -4))

Blizkrieg knew that it probably only had one attack left, but it vowed to make it a good one. It once again whipped up a storm of dirt and grass, this time flipping horizontally to shape the particles into a tornado of sorts. The spectacle glowed pink with dragon energy, and Blitzkrieg sent its offering towards Mina, who surely couldn’t take any more of this. The twister ripped into her slender form, pushing her to her knees. She was still conscious, and planned to attack, but the windstorm had caused all sorts of dirt to invade her eyes. She feverishly tried to rub them, but to no avail. The referee blew his whistle to end the round as the poison in Mina’s system pushed her even closer to the edge.

((Blitzkrieg Energy -3/Mina Aino Health -5, -2 POISON, FLINCH))

End Round 7

Dark Shadow 1337 OO

Health: 41%
Energy: 4%
(Blitzkrieg) Starmie (X) <Illuminate>
Status: Can hardly move. Evasiveness +2

Pikazhew OO


Health: 4%
Energy: 70%
(Mina Aino) Meloetta (X) <Serene Grace>
Status: Quietly humming a Dire Straits tune. Attack -2, Paralyzed (moderate, 1 more action), Toxic Poisoned (2% this round, 3% next)

Ref’s Notes
-I took extra energy for Mina’s moves for being paralyzed
-Brine was a critical hit
-Pikazhew orders first

My only question is if it's always necessary to include energy and damage calculations, and if so, if I could put them all at the end of the round instead of interrupting the flavour text?

Blitz starts this round off by conjuring up a purplish blob of goo from it's starfish throat that it seems to have. Mina isn't going anywhere with that Paralysis, so Blitz has enough time to move up to Mina and spit the gunk right in its face. Mina shudders as another status condition is added to the arsenal. Mina responds by quickly rushing over to Blitz and slapping it with it's long hair. It's super effective. Starmie must really hate hair. But since no other Pokemon seem to want to make the scene, Mina is forced to stay in battle.

[ -7 HP, -5 EP || -7 EP, Badly Poisoned]

Blitz goes on the offense this action by unleashing a foamy blast of water that drenches Mina. That foam must have really packed a punch, because the attack did double the damage as a normal Brine. Mina, lucky that its muscles aren't cramping up, sings quite loudly. The sound of Mina's voice seems to bounce off the strange stalks of grass and create an echo.

[ -6 HP, -7 EP || -20 HP, - 4 EP]

Blitz, who is pleased about how much damage it's been doing, starts spinning rapidly. As it spins, a twister made of Dragon energy is formed. Blitz unleashed the tornado, dealing minor damage. Mina closes her eyes as a small light appears in front of her. A similar light also appears in front of Blitz. The lights then swap places, and fade into their respective Pokemon. Suddenly, Blitz feels a whole lot more graceful while Mina seems a bit brighter than usual.

Mina feels the pain of the toxic take its toll.

[DarkestLight]

My only question is if it's always necessary to include energy and damage calculations, and if so, if I could put them all at the end of the round instead of interrupting the flavour text?

If you feel you can put that information in a way to the battlers so its readily accessible to them as they read through the rounds, then yeah you can skip it at each interim. Most refs do it as a good way for them to break up each action used.

Both you Ampharos and Techy had good reffings. The Brine damage was a bit high Techy but yes, double+Stab would raise Brine up a bit. Amph explained his by stating it was a crit hit. The only thing that may have been overlooked was the arena-and how it dropped accuracy by two. But that's minor.

So, you both are (finally) refs, of the Beginner category. Sorry for the ridiculous delay.

===Round 7===

Blitzkrieg opens the round by creating a glob of goop in its gem. The gem hurtles towards Mina Aino, who responds by... twitching.

Blitzkrieg: -6 EN, Mina Aino: Toxic'd.

Taking advantage of this twitching, Blitzkrieg creates a wave of foam, and rides it over Mina Aino. The salt water burns at Mina Aino's wounds, who performs in a familiar method. More twitching.

Blitzkrieg: -6 EN, Mina Aino: -14 HP

A gust of wind suddenly blows through the grassy fields, which Blitzkrieg decides to form into a twister. Thinking he's finished off Mina Aino, Blitzkrieg begins a victory dance, until it notices that it is a lot less shiny than it was. As it becomes more graceful, it notices that the shine has moved to Mina Aino, who still stands.

Blitzkrieg: -3 EN, Skill->Serene Grace. Mina Aino: -10 EN

The toxic takes its toll, but Mina Aino still stands.

Mina Aino: -2 HP

-Yeah, ref style heavily plagiarised off DL. Imitation, flattery, etc...

[nepence]

K. Been nearly a week. I asked Ayeun to look at it, but she don't know what she's doing. So, DL or Grey... can one of you guys gimme an answer here?

Am I ref material or not?

[DarkestLight]

Ok

Why does Toxic cause just as much energy as Brine? That's the first thing I noticed.

Also reminds me that we need to update that mock ref battle a bit. Otherwise, the energy disciplines are not bad at all, Brine is high due to the parameters, so that's cool. Just yea, why did you ref Toxic so high?

[nepence]

I went by the ASB movelist. Both are marked as Moderate Fatigue.

Brine: -WAT- A foamy swathe of water that does double damage if the foe is below 50% HP.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good to Excellent
Accuracy: Excellent

Toxic -PSN- The user spits a glob of purple venom a short distance, which splatters on the target if it hits or whatever other surface is available if it misses. A splatter is likely to poison anything close by, and a direct hit will usually result in the victim being badly poisoned, with slowly increasing poison damage each time poison damage is applied.
Fatigue: Moderate
Accuracy: Excellent

[DarkestLight]

O.o? Well that's silly. Yet error 14,000 to fix on the modernist. Should be light.


Otherwise, I see no issue with the mock reffing. Rookie ref you are.

[Oslo]

Toxic is a pretty amazing move, though, to only cost Light fatigue, innit? I've recently started reffing it at 8 EP, which still seems like a bargain considering how much hell it can cause.

[nepence]

Although... looking at the fatigue of some moves... there is definitely some... room for improvement?

For example, while Toxic is debatable, it should be a no-brainer that it uses more energy than Poisonpowder... Right? Well... they are both medium.

In the meantime, Thunder Wave is light (and I would argue that I'd prefer to be poisoned than paralyzed). But that's ok, because Stun Spore is medium.

[DarkestLight]

The reasoning for me with stat moves being at Medium was because of the fact that they could be created in different manners. Sometimes people choose to use Toxic as a gas rather than a sludge, and I would figure creating a noxious gas that spreads over an area would require more energy than just spitting a loogie on someone.

BUT-moreso-it was my way of seeing how nepence would stand his ground on a situation within his reffing, rather than mechanics specifically. Can't just fold on everything. #passed!


If however, you feel the stat moves are too light in ep consumption for ASB then we can has a real discussion about it.

[nepence]

Which would hold, if they were all moderate fatigue But Thunder Wave is light. We might need to have another go at that...

And frankly, we should move this to another topic.

♣Round 5♣

The fight rages on! As the grass stops glowing so harshly that you'd wish you were blind already, both Pokémon fight to their fullest potential. Well, maybe half potential. They both don't look so good. Alright, alright. I lost all hope in any potential at all. Mina just lies down on the ground and spasm occasionally, while Blitzkrieg misses his toxic. On a target, that wasn't moving. Good job my friend.

[ -0 HP | -8 EP | ~ ]
[ -0 HP | -4 EP | Paralysed! ]

They surely do better this time around! Yeah, Blitzkrieg finally starts to live up to his name, and speedily unleashes a strong Brine, that washes their opponent away. Who keeps spazzing. Seriously. You can stop now, there's a fight and stuff. You know, for "fighting".

[ -0 HP | -9 EP | ~ ]
[ -16 HP | -6 EP | Paralysed! ]

Alright, I give up. This is ridiculous. Blitzkrieg tries to weirdly fly around the room, but fails miserably as if he has no idea what he's trying to accomplish, while Meloetta does nothing, but copying Blitzkrieg's shiny light. Great, now both Pokémon glow. In the end, what was that for?!

Referee Notes

• Derpa will issue her commands next!
• Mina Aino's Paralysis will end after 3 more actions!
• Mina Aino's Skill Swap will remain in place for 3 more actions!
• I assumed that Paralysis was applied a round before, therefore, its strength was reduced by one stage already.
• According to the arena, the accuracy decrease is only present for 4 rounds. Both Pokémon look pretty worn out and noone had an accuracy drop, so I assumed that was dealt with already.
• Twister failed, because it is an NYPC Move for Staryu only, so it's not usable for Starmie in ASB.
• In retrospect, I shouldn't have done so much calculating when everyone is derping around anyway. In case any of you refs want to know, here are my damage and EP calculation results:
  
• Evasion was taken into account. Just in case it looks like it wasn't. And no, Illuminate did not counter Blitzkrieg's Evasion, in fact, it even raised it by one. (For the RNG.) Light doesn't cancel light!
• If the Energy of a Pokémon happens to reach 0, it will lose 1 HP for every 2 EP consumed. Also, it's action pool is reduced to two per round. However, the effect of "Relax" is doubled.
