Aloyzo's Arsenal Discussion Thread

So its decided ooze shove is out ?

Hmm not sure if I agree with the logic since another card is required for it to deal any damage. Lots of cards interact to deal damage - all blocks that encounter pulverizing hack/slash, flaring laser. Revealed cards, number of cards in hand.

I thought being purple it is a utility card, not an attack. Perhaps if frenzies/blind rage do buff it that needs to be patched ?

 

Violent spin is similar enough to use instead I suppose. Although lol at the word 'violent' in a pacifist challenge !

 

You do realize that ooze shove hurts them enough to make them say Ouch! or something similar(The Ouch! sound effect plays even if 0 damage is taken). AKA the card has a printed damage value.

 

Yeah I think that's the joke of the card. Its crushing damage attack on an ooze with armor so it does zero damage. Very meta. But the intent is to control position.

Anyone know if it triggers blind rage damage if you leave it in your hand ? Does fright, cowardly interact with it ?

I think half the fun of this month's contest will be people litigating what is and isn't allowed. These types of discussions should probably be on the other thread where Flax isn't reading though to avoid lobbying for cards because we may want to use them. So no more comment from me in this space.

 

Could be ressolved simply enough. @Flaxative, do you tolerate ooze shove when the whole item design is true to the theme?

 

If I shove Aloyzo, but he is uninjured, then did I commit assault? My parole officer certainly thought so.

By having a damage value at all, Ooze Shove has an innate intent to cause harm. It just happens to be bad at that job. Now if I were to say, shove Aloyzo down a staircase in a Blind Rage and coincidentally grievously injure him, then I'd likely be in conflict with the intent of the laws of the land.

 

Numbers, Spirit. As i see it it is about conflict avoidance. Lets await Flaxes definite answer.

 

@Robauke, here's Flaxative's definitive answer:

(Flaxative hit Like on Maniafig's post.)

if p then q
p
therefore q

 

We will see.

 

I don't think any item with any of the cards added for Hallowe'en items is likely to be accepted anyway.

Out of curiosity, what is the max. character limit on the names?

 

I don't think there is technically a max character limit, we manually set a 'short name' for cases where the name doesn't fit.

Re: Ooze Shove. It has a damage value and deals damage with buffs (and probably deals 2 damage with Vulnerable/Fragility?!), so it's definitely out (as I already said...). To respond to @jdotri, I don't think that it's similar to Block-ing a Pulverizing Hack, because the Block doesn't deal the damage—it's still the Pulverizing Hack dealing the damage. But also...

This.

 

It would definitely make life easier for me, but it also places an added burden on entrants/barrier to entry. So for now I'm going to not change the submission guidelines. I think timeracers making a clone thread is not a good idea.

 

I got the impression from how the AA post is worded now that it's trying to say not to include level and rarity since it's not explicitly part of the 4 pieces of information asked for. I think a clarification saying adding information about level and rarity is encouraged would help make things clearer.

 

Well, right after what you quoted was...

I would hope that people bother to check levels, but seeing as we've had submissions in the past that were over lvl 21.5, I'm going to guess that not everyone reads everything anyways, and some just do as they please.

 

I, for one, do that every time now. It's a cool tool, you can let your imagination out.

 

****, my submission is level 45.

 

Now, that's a great use of Forward Thinking.

 

Alternately I could have a google spreadsheet with all the info on it and make a post saying where that spreadsheet is

 

Is anyone interested in this?
