Zoids The Rebirth (Mod Approved)

And besides, If I remember correctly A_D, your Command Wolf was stacked with so much stuff (Smoke Emitters, Boosters, Advanced Sensors, all that Robotech stuff, ect.) it would be considered an "00ber munchkin zoid"

BTW do I have to send my zoid info in for approval?

Note to self: Make sure there isn't another page worth of posts before you reply, Danny.

If you think normal Zoids are boring, I have to wonder why you like Zoids enough to be involved in an RPG based on it.

At any rate, while I'd love to unload on you (And I'd be quite interested to see the specs on your Zoid, if you thought my Command Wolf was heavily modified), this topic isn't the place to debate these things.

On the other hand, I'm not going to sit here and take crap from people like you.

So I'm going to step back from this topic so that it doesn't degenerate into an argument clinic, or worse, a flame-fest, and let U_C get back to the business of getting this RPG off the ground.

If he needs assistance, I will, of course, be happy to see if I can help. Outside of that, however, I probably won't be posting in this topic.

Goodbye.

Actually, there is a Zoid in that shape. It's called a Gustav, but really isn't the best for Battles.... trasportation, maybe.. but not fights.

And A_D, take a Flintstones and Chill

Ive decided to appoint Thargor the Head Ref. Basically since i know im not much of a ref ive handed this on to someone who knew the old system and can keep track of who is and isnt a ref.

This isnt ASB, being a ref wont bring a financial reward just remember, without Refs there can be no battles.

**Thargor** · 9th October 2003, 09:38 PM

Ok, well I'll be accepted that Head Ref position... Tomorrow I'll be posting a mock battle situation in this thread. In it, the ZBC Team will be fighting the Saber Tiger Team. Based on the beginning post, and the ZBC Team's "replies" those of you who wish to become Refs can PM me your write-up of that round.

In it, remember to write a detailed description of what actually occured during the battle. Afterwards, below the description, write what damage, if any, occured because of this round, and the zoids overall condition. Mention anything worth notice.

Those who write good enough round results, will become Refs. Those of you who don't can try again later.

Another little announcement has to deal with the overall rankings of all player teams in the beginning of the RPG. All teams will start at C class in the ZBC League. For a team to increase or decrease their rank, they must meet these qualifications:

To increase to B class, a team must have a positive 5 win record. A loss is subtracted from any wins you already have, or if you have no wins, your first future win. To decrease to C class, you either must have a negative 5 win record, or have lost 5 consecutive matches in a row.

To increase to A class, a team must have a positive 8 win record. As before, a loss is subtracted from any wins you already have. To decrease in rank to B class, you either must have a negative 8 win record, or have lost 5 consecutive matches in a row.

To increase to S class, a team must have a positive 15 win record. This gains them eligibility to enter a ZBC tournament (held semi-annually) in which the winners will attain S class recognition. To lose this honor and go back to A class, you must either have a negative 15 win record, or have lost 5 consecutive matches in a row.

Question, may sound dumb but...

in the anime, the Zoid team(The Blitz) had 4 Zoids. Will there be 4 zoids, or 3 on each team?

Mock Battle Situation

The serene white landscape of the tundra is violently interrupted, as an explosion briefly lights the center of the field. A crater appears, and out from it, a Judge Capsule ascends. From the now liquid filled crater, the Judge emerges out in the below zero weather, and looks around to all sides.

Two zoids are evident on the field. The representative from the A-class team, the Saber Tigers in a battered yellow Saber tiger. The pilot stands next to a small snowy ridge, and bellows out his challenge to the large red zoid facing him.

The red zoid, the Geno Breaker stands there without a word. The world-class zoid with its world class pilot represent the S-class Team, the ZBC Team.

"Area scanned...battlefield set up... Battle mode 0001. The Saber Tigers vs. The ZBC Team! This match will determine whether the Saber Tigers can progress to the next official Zoid Battle Commission Tournament, or be down-graded to B-class! Let the battle begin!"

With a roar, the Saber Tiger rushes in at a straight line, its pilot screaming with energy and excitement. The Saber Tiger pays no heed to where it is stepping, and just bolts at the Geno Breaker...

-------------------------------------------
Geno Breaker Response:

The pilot smiled himself as he watched his opponent come at him. Such a rookie mistake... He would have to teach the punk to respect the number one team on Planet Zi, and its leader...

Bringing his two 140 mm cannons to bear, the pilot let out a quick volley of blasts at the front two legs of the Saber Tiger to throw it off balance. He brought his main engines to bear, as the Geno Breaker dashed towards the stumbling Zoid, pincers open.

With one solid motion, the Geno Breaker catches the Zoid with his pincers. Firing a steady stream of fire from his 140 mm cannons, and 80 mm cannons alike, the point blank fire dashes into the Saber Tiger...
------------------------

For all those who wish to become Refs, it is your job to judge this round. As I said in my previous post, judge it for quality, tactics, and always consider both sides of the battle. Write a detailed paragraph or two about the round results, then below that the actual damage in percentages (and type of damage) for each zoid.

The written up results should be PMed to me, which I will judge. Those that are good enough, shall become Refs for the new RPG.

It's rather hard to judge this battle when you posted almost no actions for the Saber Tiger. Charging headlong at the enemy won't result in much more than everything your opponent says ending up as fact in the judgement.

Your PM box is full, BTW.

**Thargor** · 11th October 2003, 11:30 AM

Never said this was the best battle post, did I? Just an example... The differences in the two pilots is already quite large, just looking at their class levels.

My PM box now has room.

Current GM Try-Out Results

Now, through this I'm only going to be naming those of you who have submitted to me and who have been accepted. Those of you who haven't, I don't want to read angry posts in this thread. Send me a PM, and I will send you a detailed post entailing why exactly you were not accepted.

Having that done...

Mew Master, despite a confusing first paragraph before your judging, I found it to be very detailed. You had supporting information throughout the description, and a very thorough damage report. Just to take in mind, when having a Zoid that has a unique feature like pincers, you should include that with percentages like any other part of the zoid.
The decision at the end was sound, and you gave your reasons for such throughout all your judging. Congratulations, you are the first Assistant GM!

Unfortunately, this is the only person I can announce for this position. I haven't received that many PM's yet... Remember people, for this RPG to go on, we need GM's to conduct the battles!

**Mew Master** · 11th October 2003, 10:10 PM

*Does classic RPG victory sequence/stance* Yay.

*pokes Thargor* OF course I should have some understanding. I've done hours upon hours of research on Zoids and how they are put together/work. I did work on the Fan Fic for a year or three.

^_____________^

I skipped the percentages myself, since it was a one-round fight and the results were blindingly obvious in the Status reports.

**Gladiator** · 12th October 2003, 02:18 PM

I know it's none of my business since I'm not trying out for ref, but why the hell would an A-Class Zoid pilot make such a C-class mauenuver? I mean, the battle suggests that you can enter the A-Class rank as easily as a person can enter hell.

**DeMarko** · 15th October 2003, 12:52 PM

Did you get my PM? Just wondering and stuff.

Why don't RPGs start fast

**Thargor** · 15th October 2003, 01:42 PM

Yes Demarko, I got your PM... And as I said in my announcement, I am only mentioning those that I have chosen. If you want to know more, PM me about it, since I don't want to discuss it here.

Updated GM Try-Out Results

Congratulations to Kiori Hayabusa for getting an Assistant GM spot! Your description while short contained enough vital information and rulings. Your damages while smaller than I would believe given the weapons remained consistent, which was a good thing. The way how you measured the pro's and con's was also nice.

Now we are up to three GM's for this RPG... While it is much better than just two, we probably need a couple more... Anybody who hasn't pmed me with their rulings and wants a shot at becoming a GM should as soon as possible.

**Thargor** · 18th October 2003, 06:09 PM

Now with another edition of...

Updated GM Try-Out Results

Adding another GM to our ranks, DeMarko has been accepted as an Assistant GM! Congratulations. Nice description, nice damage, and a very noteable reaction from the "NPC" Saber Tiger to the "player" Geno Breaker's attack. In the future battles, since the NPC teams don't get to post for themselves (for obvious reasons) it is the job of the GM to make intelligent counter-moves for those teams. The level of the team should effect this, as well as their previous performances.

**DeMarko** · 19th October 2003, 11:08 AM

*does a little dance*

I'm a GM yay!

Will we be doing the team rotation thing like last time? I only ever got through 2 rotations before we got closed down
