Unlike chess, there is no random "missed attacks"... I love Gunbound for example because what determines if you hit the enemy is based on if you aimed at the right angle and use the correct amount of power... It's a turn-based shooter like Worms... THOSE games I love and miss playing. In fact, Nostalgia Drive just kicked in and I'm getting Gunbound Classic right now.

But the chance for missed attacks aren't completely random... they're governed by mathematics. Thus it's just another thing to take into consideration when deciding on your next move. Do you risk using the powerful attack which misses often, or do you play it safe with a weaker move that has a higher chance of hitting?

But you'll be pleased to know that I am changing some of the "random" mechanics to make them more skill/reflex based, such as critical hits.

Wasn't like that in Pokemon...not to my limited knowledge...each move had their own accuracy rating... and that wasn't based off how strong it was, it was just arbitrarily decided.... but whatever, I'm glad you're doing something about that.

Please don't ever mention DBZ with TC around. It's for your own sake, your life, your sanity, and for your (future) child.

It did but most of them were 100% before any possible modifiers were put in.

Why would TC put a quote from it in then other than for the validity of the internet meme :boggled: Oh wait just answered my own question :lol:

Yes, in Pokemon, each attack has an accuracy rating.

It's not really arbitrary though. Each move has it's own characteristics, and some moves are made to be characteristically inaccurate. If every single move had an accuracy rating perfectly balanced with it's strength, then all moves would be of equal effective usefulness. You'd have weak moves that always hit, but would require x number of uses to defeat the foe. Then you'd have strong moves that could defeat the foe in one hit, but would require x number of uses to actually hit it.

Nooo I love playing Gunbound! There was a time a few years ago where a big group of friends gathered each night at Gunbound, we filled two rooms, it was awesome. I played with Grub (lol), Nak and Sate. Then I started playing with Boomer.

But then life intervened and the group of fellows started to break, and soon there was only two or three guys left. I stopped playing Gunbound for a few years until my wife caught the bug and soon there was another group of people gathering each night to play. I started playing with the new bots but never actually got anywhere as my wife moved from Gunbound to WoW and the other guys started to leve too. I don't like playing with strangers, so I quit too. But I have always liked the game. Playing it with friends is awesome.
 
The original server has turned to poop after Thor's Hammer, though I put up with it through World Champion and Revolution. I couldn't take any more of the stupid stuff they added and changed in the Late-Revolution era, as they made the North American players move back to the International Servers. Now you no longer get gold for hitting someone and... wait for it: the wind changes every turn.

I'm so glad my friend told me that Diabllo got enough support to relaunch Gunbound Classic again. I'm going to see what's different from Thor's Hammer right now..

As for choice of bots, I like to use everyone, especially those with unique projectile properties. That mixed with Mirror disks and tornadoes made it so much fun... but my favourite bots of all time have to be Trico, Nak, Boomer and Turtle...

Oh man... Gunbound. I used to be addicted to that game. It's so simple and dumb, yet so entertaining.

What's the name of the vehicle with a shot that goes inside land with reverse gravity? I used to own so much with that thing... good memories :lol:

Nak Machine.... You own with it only if you take on Tornadoes and Mirrors like me. :trouble:
Yeah that's me
 
Man I am going way over my usual time of awakeness here...coming up to 1am here now. :sick: Thank god for my iPod.

Now I'm getting worn out though so I think I'll call it quits for the night at last. Good night all :D

And remember you can still decide what car fits Messenger Nia the best if you want an Internet cookie. :) But for now really good night. ;)

What was your class?

Let me see what I can remember... I was definitely playing with a wizard, though I can't remember if it was called that. There's another one which is an advancement of wizard, right? That's the one I played with.

High wizard or Alchemist?
I was usually a SinX

or a High Priest
 
High Wizard, definitely.

I remember the PVP in that game being particularly impressive. Spent countless hours with it.

I'm only obsessed with the meme, I don't talk about the actual show all that much. How often have you seen me talk about the show, and other things around it versus just "It's OVER 9,000!!!!!!"?

Also, FUNimation I am disappoint.

I'd rather you were more obsessed with the show.
