ASB Chat Thread - 2015 Edition. Now with improved posts!

[BTPoke]

If I may throw in my two cents on this, I went on one forum before this one for ASB a long while ago. That forum has long since closed their ASB section, and so I don't go on there anymore, but they actually used this Reffing Calculator, and it's pretty easy to use.

It does calcs for damage and energy separately, and it takes into account base power, evo stage, typing, stat changes, and even CRITICAL HITS.

[Puma]

Oh, I'm aware of that one. I used altered origins as a little impulse towards reffing status effects, but ended up writing down my own version, from a combination of both ao and the guidelines here! I'll make sure to include it in the beginning post though ^-^
I'll be beginning the first post this weekend hopefully c:

Yeah, I remember phoenixsong as a member here a couple of years before, wasn't aware she was a big ASB person back then. Another of the Old Guard bit the dust

[DarkestLight]

I MISS PHOENIXSONG SOOOO MUCH

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Hey, Underscore has still yet to be approved as an ASB referee here. Will anyone rate his reffing and update the mock reffing?

[Perfect Chaos]

Mean to PM you this Grey but it seems your inbox is full

Are the Ultra Balls that were saved in my last adventure only usable if I go on another adventure specifically with you, or can they be used in any future adventure with any SZ ref?

[Greyfox]

You can use them in any future adventure.

So, to the people in my safari zone and the fourway, there's a good reason why I'm not posting just yet. First, I'm -literally- writing an exam every single day as of now, and I barely have any time left for doing anything but preparing, second of all, I'm undergoing surgery soon, next week to be more specific. If everything goes well, I'm still staying there for an entire week, provided everything goes well, haha x) I might be able to bring a laptop with me, so I could do -a lot- of reffing then, but no promises. Afterwards, the entire situations relaxes a bit and I will get back to every single battle and safari in my usual speed

Sorry for delaying stuff, especially in the safari..

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I understand completely. When I was at the hospital laptop was out of question, so I had to take a hiatus. Hopefully the surgery will go well.

[DarkestLight]

Dude, rest. This can wait. Take that time to disconnect, for real :/

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

This is a small day for man but a big day for ASB. DarkestLight

[Blademaster]

^What he said.

[DarkestLight]

Thank you. Insanely busy :/. WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY

[Knight of Time]

/\ what Mikachu and Blademaster said.

lol jk DarkestLight, happy birthday! Enjoy it as much as you can!

[Puma]

I'm back. Everything went well, but I have to recover a bit more.. Doesn't feel too good, haha xD Going to get started next week or the one after that, whenever my wounds fully closed. c:
Terribly sorry for everyone in my Safari, I'll make up for it when the time comes, no worries about that.

[Ayeun]

Hey all. I want to apologize for my absence the past month. I've had a lot of things happen that were pretty sucky, which ended in my almost ending my own life to escape. I am not proud of what happened, but I have to be more open about it.

I am back now, and should be back mostly full time. This means I will be taking the contest back and finishing it as soon as possible. Battles I have been in that are still going will get more go, and I might even dabble a bit in some more safari zone stuff.

So, a big sorry to anyone who has been waiting for stuff. And a big *hug* to everyone for being supportive when I messaged you and told you what was going on.

If you want to catch up and chat, please PM me.

<3 you all!

In summary: If anyone feels like the need help, PLEASE, contact your nearest Suicide Prevention Hotline.

[DarkestLight]

Both of you-glad to hear you are both back, and you both still just take the time you need to get your heads together.

[Greiger]

Hey, in the spirit of returns, I have also come back. Sorry about the sudden disappearance, but school was getting on top of me. It's all cooled down now, but I was just really busy for a bit.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Returning of the Miracles! I'm posting this one from a hospital myself.

[Blademaster]

Hospital? Why?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

*deep breath* Too many reasons. I might fill you in if I could double post.

[DarkestLight]

o.o

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

For one thing, I got a short seizure from scrolling down some webpages.

[DarkestLight]

O.o So yeah. How's the summer shaping up?

[Perfect Chaos]

Avengers: Age of Ultron was...OK

[Greiger]

I haven't seen Avengers myself, yet. I WAS going to see it. I just hear mixed reviews though.

[Blademaster]

It's too damn hot. Like every summer. I need a consistent temperature of at or near 60 degrees F or I might die.

[Perfect Chaos]

You'd definitely never survive over here in Florida.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Flowers are already blooming. If possible, I could go to Lappland and see the midnight sun. Being at the countryside isn't too bad, to tell you the truth. By the way. If there will be an ASB Summer Tree, I must claim I don't wish to receive any presents until I'm back from the hospital.

[Blademaster]

You'd definitely never survive over here in Florida.

Well, I wouldn't move to shitty Florida in the first place, so I guess I'm safe.

[DarkestLight]

Its not even warm yet

I seriously don't get people anymore So many people thought AOU was meh to good, and I'm like "What the hell did you want?" It was constrained by story objective and the standalone plot needed to exist so one that did not watch the whole of MCU could jump in and be like "Ok, I get it." So I honestly would like to know what made this movie not such a rabid fan hit like the first Avengers? Not enough action? Yeah, there's 6 main characters, each with 10 solid minutes of action time each. Thor left AGAIN (mother fucker stay leaving) mid film to get some shit done and we got 4 new characters to deal with, as well as stupid tie ins for the next 5 YEARS?

I seriously Don't get what else people wanted. In a sense, I cant wait for this to be over, so then people can then rightfully bitch about what was missed. But then they'll have 20 movies to hold onto and be like "THIS WAS MY ADULTHOOD!"

[Oslo]

Guess who has two thumbs and never saw any of the MCU movies because he has a hard time sitting through movies in general because they're always so goddamn long.

This guy.

[DarkestLight]

Movies too long? Say what? What's your threshold?

[Oslo]

Probably around 40 minutes? Even then I get pretty antsy toward the end. Whenever I watch movies on Netflix, which doesn't happen very often, they usually take me a few sittings. I just have no attention span.

On the bright side, my inability to do any single thing for a long period of time has made me an excellent multitasker! SOMEBODY GIVE OSLO A JOB PLZ!

[DarkestLight]

That's crazy x_x

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Not as crazy as I. Happy windy day from my land by the way. The breeze was just about about to take me right to Sweden.

[Blademaster]

Be thankful it didn't.

[Eve Nivala]

We are both reading TPM ASB now.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Back on my laptop. But I'll be slower than usual, and even worse than usual.

But in case there will be a Summer Tree this year, count me in. I'll now be able to both receive and give presents, my friends

[Perfect Chaos]

Live dammit! LIVE!
