Anarchy at the All-Star Arcade!!

Hornet 02-Jul-21 09:12 PM

Welcome; @Maack and @vacant, to Anarchy at the All-Star Arcade! As you've read in #rules, it's now time to decide your characters and your personal objectives together. The character theme for this Objective game is video game characters, or characters that come from a video game. Every character theme tends to have a grey area where the character's applicability is hazy - when it comes to these sorts of cases, Superb and I will give judgment on whether it's a valid character or not. Your objectives have to be similar to each other - the intended meaning of this is 'have your objectives tie into each other in some way', but if you want your two objectives to just be coincidentally similar - go ahead! Get creative! Be allies, be enemies, be rivals - you don't necessarily have to work together. Once you've decided, ping either one of us [@Hornet , @Scorpion] with your choices. Remember - we will design the game around your picks. Whatever you pick as an objective, we'll make it possible - and whoever you pick as a character, we'll design stuff for that character. You're going to have until 6PM EDT, July 4th to talk this out and decide what you'll be picking. Feel free to ask us any questions in these channels, if you want to. In case you're having trouble figuring out where to start, you could answer these questions out loud, see if you can get a discussion going on things you both like: 1. What are some of your favourite video game characters? 2. What are some of the games with your favourite music?

vacant 02-Jul-21 11:16 PM

oh shiiiiit hype

sorry for the bit of delay lmao, fell ashleep

come to think of it i'm not sure what kinds of games you're into, wanna spitball some?

Maack 02-Jul-21 11:45 PM

metal gear, tf2, mario, loz, persona, yakuza, xenoblade, pokemon

just some off the top of my head

vacant 02-Jul-21 11:46 PM

oo hm

out of those i'm knowledgeable on mario, loz, most of pokemon and half-tf2, the rest i've been meaning to get into mostly but have very basic entry-level knowledge at best (edited)

which probably ain't a good thing for objective lmao

Maack 02-Jul-21 11:48 PM

~~yakuza 0 is 5 dollars on steam rn, and it's a good entry point~~

vacant 02-Jul-21 11:48 PM

YEAH i def wanna pick it up before the summer sale ends

Maack 02-Jul-21 11:48 PM

oh sick

what games are you thinking of for this (edited)

vacant 02-Jul-21 11:55 PM

throwing out some ideas for games i'm big on uhh -splatoon (either idol duo?) -jsr (cube and combo maybe) -honestly? fortnite br has some both genuinely solid and really funny characters if it comes to that -mario and loz too yeah (haven't played skyward sword, link between worlds or tp for the latter though) uhhh a lot of the other titles that come to mind don't really have established casts (mc, the wii sports/mii series, tetris?) but there's still Some potential to be found there probably (edited)

Maack 02-Jul-21 11:56 PM

ooh

I forgot about splatoon

oh yeah, sonic is also an idea

mii series can be a good idea

and Kirby

vacant 02-Jul-21 11:57 PM

scratch and grounder has the potential to be hilarious

wait they're not quite vg though (edited)

Maack 02-Jul-21 11:58 PM

ooh

that's not a bad idea

Hornet 02-Jul-21 11:58 PM

@Scorpion would we accept this?

vacant 02-Jul-21 11:58 PM

orbot and cubot could be a good failsafe for that

Maack 02-Jul-21 11:58 PM

ye

vacant 02-Jul-21 11:58 PM

they're not as dopey but still in the same ballpark

Hornet

@Scorpion would we accept this?

Scorpion 02-Jul-21 11:58 PM

they're in mean bean machine aren't they

Hornet 02-Jul-21 11:59 PM

OH TRUE

yeah ok you can do them then

vacant 02-Jul-21 11:59 PM

ohhh nice

once we've got a good pool of duo ideas on the table we could probs start narrowing things down

Maack 03-Jul-21 12:04 AM

hm

have you played steins;gate?

er

watched

it's an anime, but it was a game originally

vacant 03-Jul-21 12:07 AM

iiiii have not, my only knowledge of the series's been through a smattering of vgmgg tracks

1

but if you've got a banger idea for a duo i def wouldn't mind reading up some

Maack 03-Jul-21 12:10 AM

hmm

We don't exactly need to be a duo, only the objective needs to be similar

but a duo sounds a lot more fun

vacant 03-Jul-21 12:13 AM

ye characters that bounce off each other well are great

Maack 03-Jul-21 12:20 AM

is there any duos from the paper mario games or the Mario and Luigi games? (edited)

fawful and midbus?

fawful and cakaletta?

hmm

vacant 03-Jul-21 12:38 AM

fawful would be insanely fun to play

though i've only gone through bowser's inside story, half of superstar saga and like the first few hours of spm when it comes to those subseries so some brushing up may be needed

broque and his dog could be funny

Maack 03-Jul-21 01:39 AM

YO

that's a good idea

vacant

though i've only gone through bowser's inside story, half of superstar saga and like the first few hours of spm when it comes to those subseries so some brushing up may be needed

Maack 03-Jul-21 01:43 AM

hmm

midbus and fawful are pretty good characters though

fawful might be difficult, since how he talks

broggy is very funny though

Maack 03-Jul-21 01:52 AM

I'm willing to do either one of those, not unless you have a better idea

vacant 03-Jul-21 02:26 AM

i forget if broggy even has a speaking role in bis lmao

i'm def down for anything that's been suggested if you're on board with it though

Maack 03-Jul-21 02:31 AM

he does have a speaking role

it's barks, and stuff in parentheses

when you're shopping from him, he uses text

vacant 03-Jul-21 02:37 AM

ohh i see

which one of em would you prefer to be? i'm cool with whatever

Maack 03-Jul-21 02:41 AM

I think broggy would be fun

broque is french, so he talks with z's

like, zay would make zim zalk like zhis

"oui, would you zake me broggy on zee walk? oh honh?"

vacant 03-Jul-21 02:46 AM

ah nice

List_ofMario%26_Luigi:_Bowser%27s_Inside_Story_quotes

This is a list of quotes from the game Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. For quotes from the remake, see here.

here's most of his quotes

vacant 03-Jul-21 02:47 AM

again been a while since i've touched on anything m&l-related but i always try and prepare a few speech patterns and the like before objective games

oh nice

thanke

Maack 03-Jul-21 02:47 AM

if you don't want to do the english-french thing, I'd be okay with it

vacant 03-Jul-21 02:49 AM

oh no it's cool! i haven't played a character with full-on speech quirks like this yet so it'd be a fun introduction

Maack 03-Jul-21 02:49 AM

alrighty

so we got the characters, so we gotta do the object now

hmm

vacant 03-Jul-21 02:53 AM

hmmm lookin at their wiki page now

'set up shop' could be fun but at the same time may end up a little obtuse

Maack 03-Jul-21 02:55 AM

collect rare blocks?

vacant 03-Jul-21 02:57 AM

something like that might work for broque's (edited)

and broggy's could be 'Collect four Blitties scattered around the map' maybe?

Maack 03-Jul-21 02:58 AM

hm

vacant 03-Jul-21 02:59 AM

just gonna put "Freshen another player using the 'negative-ion treatment'" out there too

Maack 03-Jul-21 03:00 AM

haha

what would that even entail?

vacant 03-Jul-21 03:00 AM

wiki says broque asks that first thing upon meeting bowser and it's a really funny phrase

Maack 03-Jul-21 03:00 AM

it is pretty funny

vacant 03-Jul-21 03:00 AM

just spraying ions on them i assume https://www.mariowiki.com/Negative_Ions

Negative Ions

Negative Ions are a liquid-type spray of ions used in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its 3DS remake, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. Being the equivalent of Mushroom Tea and Emoglobin Sweat that Mario and Luigi use, Negative Ions fully restore Bowser's HP and SP. For Bowser to obtain a blast of ion mist, he...

Maack 03-Jul-21 03:00 AM

OH

vacant 03-Jul-21 03:01 AM

but the wording makes it sound like an experimental massage lol

Maack 03-Jul-21 03:01 AM

it does

it's just the healing, lmao

vacant 03-Jul-21 03:02 AM

ohh ye

hm i'm not sure if we actually have all that much to go off of for these two

objective-wise at least

Maack 03-Jul-21 03:04 AM

I mean, block collecting doesn't sound bad to me

vacant 03-Jul-21 03:04 AM

there's the vacuum block and shop block, something involving the block band you get for collecting four blitties maybe?

spitballin

oh yeah that wouldn't be too bad an objective if worded the right way

Maack 03-Jul-21 03:04 AM

ye

"collect 3 "?" blocks"

I wouldn't put it pass people from hitting that though

vacant 03-Jul-21 03:06 AM

oh, for my goal or yours?

Maack 03-Jul-21 03:06 AM

either person

vacant 03-Jul-21 03:07 AM

maybe you sniff them out and afterwards i could attempt to sell them to another player?

Maack 03-Jul-21 03:07 AM

"sniff out 3 question mark blocks"

and you can be something like "sell a question mark block to 3 other people"

is that good, or would you rather think of something else (edited)

vacant 03-Jul-21 03:10 AM

"Sell the three ? Blocks to other players" might be a bit more lenient since it means unloading them all on one player would count too

but other than that yeah! happy with how things are lookin for us

so uhh Player: Maack Character: Broggy (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story) Objective: Sniff out three ? Blocks. Player: Smittz Character: Broque Monsieur (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story) Objective: Sell the three ? Blocks to other players.

does this look good to ping a gm with? (edited)

Maack 03-Jul-21 03:14 AM

oh this is really nice

yeah, I think we're good to go

vacant 03-Jul-21 03:15 AM

haha thank you

vacant

so uhh Player: Maack Character: Broggy (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story) Objective: Sniff out three ? Blocks. Player: Smittz Character: Broque Monsieur (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story) Objective: Sell the three ? Blocks to other players.
