Location: Six Flags Great Adventure>We periodically host a web-based battle royale that can include anything and anyone. Shenanigans ensue, and some people attempt to write it into semi-coherent narratives, playing the part of the characters within!Check here for additional details:https://rentry.org/HungerGamesHostingGuideUpdatedhttps://brantsteele.com/hungergames/Previous thread: >>24441645
>>24444338>Soon...
>>24444338 (Bois in Blue)>[ Probably for the beast, they avoid carnage. Especially now. ]Gold Split-Lip: We merely conducted a trade. Survival is the highest order and priority.>[ The elite points, Jackals turn off their energy defense gauntlet. Moving forward to retrieve the goods. The brute is the one who picks up the energy cube. Their strength is something to be held. ]Gold-leet: Onward, brothers! Spoils to share. For now, you will leave. Another clan is soon to approach; they no doubt have a low tolerance for humans. Now go, our business here is concluded!>>24444443>>24444444>>24444445
>>24444518>YOU RECEIVE:>๐ x8 Energon Cubes>๐ x24 Wild Cupcakes (Includes Display Cabinet)>๐ x2000 Zeni? (Might want to ask Aussa on this one later, as I'm not sure how much value an individual coin has. Either way, that's the physical number in the chest.)>Surprising for their size, the Energon Cubes were virtually weightless, and didn't feel quite like anything save the slight feedback they gave along their edges akin to a magnet's repelling force. The outer holding field appeared flexible, readily contorting when squeezed or pressed."If a long life you seek, then perhaps it is best we stick to being trading partners at this time.">As pious as they were in their cause, the blues knew the trials to come ahead of them would be bloody, hoping to stretch the grace period between now and then as long as they could manage."Now, your sensors might pick up a massive object in the sky shortly. Do not be alarmed by her presence, it is how we will take your generosity into inventory..."(1/2)
>>24444518>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufmNfYHwWeo>True to the officer's words, a massive shape would appear both to radar and naked eyes alike within the next dozen minutes with engines roaring, bearing the rough silhouette of a human aerocraft yet scaled to a length of a mile and a quarter, easily rivaling the assault carriers of the UNSC in dimension. >>24444548>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwyMWkXlr7E>The crew of this voluminous purple dart would spot the setup occurring below it with magnified optics, carefully preparing to land its hulk groundside in a matter said assault carrier would find completely infeasible, lighting up the skies with several brilliant apertures the direction of its prow in its ascent, how unlike it was in human design becoming readily apparent as what appeared to be an over-scaled cockpit was revealed from above the cloudline, taking its place on what must had been the vessel's bridge.(2/2)
>>24444548>[ Energon Cubes(x8) ]>[ Wild Cupcakes (ร24) ] >[ Zeni(ร2000). Coin is coin. Any money is good money for the Banished. ]>>24444583>[ There was confusion at first. What was meant by a massive object? And then the sight of an assault carrier. Of unknown design. That got multiple things in the base right behind them to light up. Just for the elite to pull out a strange device and shout " HOLD YOUR FIRE! " because if a ship that big suddenly appeared. Shooting first would be the most likely outcome. ]>[ Pulling up with a ship that big, pirates' space birds are salivating at the mouth, well, beak. Just thinking of raiding this ship above. ]Gold-leet: This vessel is yours? The right was made to offer you some aid.>[ But now he thinks maybe offering a phantom might have been too generous. But elites will never go back on their word or their honor. Very few of them would. With that, the elite turned around and began walking with the rest of this small squad. Both sides are now loading their trade goods. ]
>>24444628"Behold - the Giant.">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I67rP1cj9No>Slim in profile with many stabilizing fins which ended in sharp edges, the craft appeared predatory. Aggressive. Her shielding system would sculpt a proper landing from the field distant of their exchange, buckling the earth into a convenient shape for the Giant's dorsal to be encased. Rather than provision landing gear, her creators saw fit to make wherever they landed yield to their dominance! "She is a joint operation between us, the rebel, and some others who share sympathy to the plight of the oppressed. We pieced her together from the wrecks of our enemy over our years of tenure.">Mighty as the Giant were, the fact these men resorted to bringing her directly to deposit the Phantom was not so much a show of force, versus the only remaining expedient option they had to secure something of high importance. Certainly, these blues were playing for keeps in the Arena, and could offer continuous benefits to the Banished were they willing to tap into a more formal arrangement."Keep an eye on that red one - the one we know as Carnage for us, and we will reward you for your efforts. For now, on behalf of our Sovereigns and Saints, I thank you for your time.">The team that would emerge from this craft to aid the human traders was an eccentric one, composed of both their kind and humanoid, yet vaguely-insectoid automatons of burnished metal crudely painted over by their current employ; doubtlessly also something these men scavenged for themselves. After back and forth with the Giant's crew and themselves, a spindly machine would be taken aboard the Phantom to get it started and hovering, while its bulkier counterparts would tow the vessel into the Giant's bays via attaching cables. The rest of the goods were hauled into the ship via either the same crew of strong metal men.
>>24444628>(Ei, and what's the ballpark of the volume of stuff in the weapons container? No need to be hard numbers, just something to estimate by when I start unit building.)
pepisalso here's the thing for ellis>yeets
cool thread
>>24444548>In the games as a currency, the individual value of a singular coin is dubious, as the process of upgrading a singular hero to 100, increasing star level, assembling job gear and increasing Job Levek for 3+ jobs (everyone has 3, and can have enhanced ones replace those, which themselves can be replaced by more unique personal ones, and in sone cases even those can have a yet-further-enhanced one), leveling the job gear when you're at max job level, raising job skill levels, raising any Mementos or unique Equipment, and especially unlocking all of their Gates of Enlightenment (followed by Spirit Gear and Spirit Bonds) can easily cost at least a billion. >However, extremely little reference is made to currency is made in the game's story itself as it was more concerned with weaving an epic. Much of the value likely comes from the Alchemia circuit built in to it, which using up would render it a mundane gold coin. I suspect that it is a D&D case where "to your average peasant, 100 gold could be life-changing, but to an adventurer you don't even blink at it". >Increasing a 1-star to 2-star costs 10K, 2-to-3 25K, and 3-to-4 and 4-to-5 both take 50K, ignoring any item requirements. >Bronze (8K), silver(20K) gold(80K), and rainbow (160K) ingots exist for the sole purpose of being converted into drastically-increasingly large amounts of Zeni could be telling, and are stated to comes from the same Alchemy Mines, progressively deeper in. Mundane maces (PATK +9) and daggers (CRIT+6, DEX+6) can be bought for 2400 and 2600 Zeni respectively, but can only be sold for a tenth that value, which is probably true for all items the player sells including the ingots. Assuming these are not purely gameisms, which is totally possible. >No mention is made of size offhand either, but I think I recall a few stages with coin scattered about, and the size of probably somewhere in the realm of a US quarter and a silver dollar.
>>24446773>>24444548>There is no immediate indication that there is any notable debasement of the currency, and the narions of the world appear to, in D&D fashion, all accept the same currency. >I cannot recall if Zeni had an item description, but as I cannot find any suggestion of it on the old wiki or my copy if thd database, I will assume the absence of evidence for it existing is evidence enough that it does not.>As with many things in an annoying amount of games, you must simply go based off vibes, because it was simply not designed with real-world logistics in mind. Upgrading a Phantom is probably vastly more expensive than most anything in-universe, because they themselves are vastly more powerful than most things that do not possess the power of Alchemy or the Power of Darkness.
>>24446773>>24446800>Ei, so I'm on the mark their bakery operation is earning them a disproportionately large sum of the Au.>See, Nilton's platoon is pulling a DeBeers where they've accumulated a (by Earth standards) substantial gold reserve that they circulate amongst the organization sparingly; a monthly salary is a handful of coins, perhaps a single coin per week, and they in turn are encouraged to exchange these coins for locational currencies; usually by pawning them. This is usually preferred to do in decades before or closer to their own, where they are less likely to run into inconvenient regulations such as identification, where the then-vintage bills are usually still legal tender in the Arena's more commonly-pulled 21st century locales.
>>24447212Bakery? I thought they were selling alcohol on the cheap, unless you meant the Candoria stuff. Digging deeper, Edgar's Job+ equipment Reward Flask (Slothstein bourbon which it might be compared to, though Slothstein's alcohol is well-renowned for quality and even highly-restricted in trade to Lustburg due to Lustburgian being leery to outsiders) takes 6K to construct (and all of it's 20 recipe pieces...), but sells for 14755, so take that as you will.I am presuming that anything they sell will be both cheaper in quality and price, though.>>24446800Also, clarification: By Phantom I meant the playable character ingame. Not...not the vehicle from Halo. Halo did not collaborate with The Alchemist Code. Macross Frontier did, however.Gold-backed currency is truly the way to go....
>>24447268>Alcohol is Yabu's thing toward them, those giant cupcakes they offered the Banished are the backbone of their trade with Lustburg, supplemented by whatever they peel out of Candoria's ground in the immediate vicinity of their holdings.
>>24447339Huh. Fair enough. Lustburg is still a snowball year-round as far as I know (outside probably of certain spots sufficiently enchanted not to be, which could basically be open-air greenhouses, I suppose), so even food could be a reasonably valuable commodity. Especially desserts.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuioobmhdJwIt's been a minute, so I got confused. Don't let Lofia sample the goods. She'll either hate it or tear a sizeable portion out of a given delivery.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGN0cjQNgJc
>>24447378>Memory serves, Lofia was who they originally presented their stuff to, to secure the deal once upon a board ago. She's practically Alchemy land's ad-hoc diplomat.>They be getting good mileage out of the skills picked up in their previous vocation...
>>24444652Am now just realizing that the technical term for the stern bits are the "anal fins."
>>24447396Here I thought that was the alcohol things still. But I have slept since then.And well, that's because I'm the only person in HG besides Asellus (who no longer comes here) who's ever played the game...and I can't be bothered digging up images for anyone else, hahah....
