The Power Advantage DBZ RPG News Archives: March 2004

Updates/News

04/01/04 - Well, I'd like to post something more 'up-beat' and happy as well, but as of late many of you have been sending spars, moves, and quests all to the honor match account (pahonormatch@yahoo.com), while you should be sending them to the spar/move/quest account (dbzspars@yahoo.com). I've made this announcement once, but appearently without some negative sanction no one will heed to my warnings, so from this day forth any email sent to the wrong account will simply be deleted, no reply will be sent. Everyone knows I'm the 'nice staff member,' but when this happens five times a week, going back and forth between e-mail accounts and such gets very irritating. You all complain about updates and such, wouldn't it make sense to make updating easier for the staff?

Note: If I get one more e-mail or instant message in reference to an update that has not been done, there will be consequences, I'm growing very jaded to the impatience of some members.

04/03/04 - Wow, 2 posts in a week... I'll keep this one short, though.
First off, the Beta Test Submittance Form is up. Submit it to both 17 and myself, via email. It will be accepted until 7 PM PST Monday(April 5th). No late entries will be considered.
Secondly, the party is taking place now. IM me to ask to enter.
So, to summarize: Keep sparring, checking the forums and site, submitting random forms I make, and having fun!
And to weird-out 17 on the way out: Ciao!

04/07/04 - Even more wow... like, 3 posts in a week. An eye-popper if I've ever seen one. Well, this one's going to be really short... After many applications, and much review, we have our 8 Beta-Test applicants.
Decided upon by 17 and myself, with relative concurrance on every part, we have them, in no particular order, as:
  • Vegeta
  • Zulean
  • Noran
  • Ramirez
  • Sephiroth
  • Gourry
  • Voon
  • and Hoboman
    Yup... They will be e-mailed the details of this, in due time... I also get to note that the top two applicants will be rewarded for their past, and upcoming services to PA, as they will be told in their confirmation e-mails [which I'll send out tonight, or tomorrow]. So... yeah, that's about it.

    04/10/04 - Wow, even I'm getting into the posting action. It's an amazing thing! Yet, it's also kind of expected since the shcool year is winding down, I hope everyone is having (or had) a decent one thus far. Anyway, on to the subject: Majin e-mails.
    It's a shame that I only post when I have something to complain about, but that's what we junior staff *realizes he's the only one* ...do. But I've gotten a bunch of badly done Majin e-mails in the last few weeks. Each e-mail is also followed by some random person asking me if I got the e-mail... which was either poorly done or never showed up in my inbox in the first place. So, I just want to go over how these should be done. For Majins of free will I'll need an e-mail from both of the parties (the Majiner and the Slave-to-be) saying it's ok. Also, make sure the slave-to-be is evil at the time of the e-mail. He/She could even tell me in their e-mail that they're turning evil... but don't try to get majined while you're still good or neutral.
    With that said, keep the activeness going. Check those forums! Spar those spars! And keep your eyes peeled for anything coming up saga-wise!
    P.S.: Old news has finally been cleaned out since this page has collected over five months worth of news.

    04/16/04 - Yeah... Bleh. Finals are very icky. Spent days in front of my Chemistry textbook... Bleh, to say the least. In any case, I've done some Beta work, and that should be under way... In any case, I'm going to post the most recent news for the 'current events', and leave to study for my Final, tomorrow... But before I do, I see a LOT of icky things on the Members page, which are going to need fixing... a member of 'Hercule', for one, is not a Warrior, due to no KI use, nor weapon proficiency [His Sig Beam attack is a Punch? ug...], so you will have the option to rename him, with a new bio and sig and all so you lose no time, but he cannot stay. Signature Attacks for Warriors are beams... not "Technique Copies" or the like, either... Bleh. Icky, to say the least. Now, for the news....
  • Fenix has arrived back from a space trip with Piccolo Daimao, and has now achieved the new status of Super Saiya-Jin... Much congratulations are in order, for those he's not trying to kill...
  • Piccolo Daimao, on the other hand, is ticked off at suddenly being weaker than his passenger. Grudge match, perhaps? We'll need to see...
  • Hoboman's and Vash's new 'secret project' is nearing completion, although they still refuse to let anyone know what it is.
  • Voon still smirks at this 'secret project' in a knowing way, but neither comments, nor helps with it.
  • Mirai Trunks lost his Ultimate Super Saiya-Jin in an epic battle against Rimoah. Although he managed to survive, the shock of it allowed Rimoah to escape the justice Trunks was trying to bring down.
  • By some odd coincidence, Gourry is still in the hospital, after being put into a coma by a falling Black Star Dragonball...
  • Daron has finally disposed his 'nemesis', Android 21, who had been plaguing him by repairing his works of evil, and defending the poor, and that kind of 'ilk' that Daron can't stand. After a desperate struggle, and an eruption into Super Saiya-Jin 2, it was finally finished
  • Eninaj has said his fairwells to the people of Earth, and left for Konats, in an attempt to take his first testing step towards Deitial status, and his Lesser-Kaio test.
    So... yeah. Back to studying I go. Wish me luck on my Chemistry final... Oh, and keep checking the site/sparring/checking the forums... Oh, and stop repeatedly asking about failed (or even accepted) join forms... And stop asking me about joining the bloody Ornament Saga! Argh!

    04/18/04 - Oie... I'll keep this short, since I have 2 Finals this week, both of which are study-intensive... Basically, in the Time Saga (New Saga... actually, it's not that new, having been started in, like, December, but the current one, at least), a rather bad decision was made by Raziel... And now Earth is going to blow up. Due to my insane luck on Hyperspeed rolls (I have witnesses to verify this! Honest!), Galaxia and Fenix are able to buy Royal Ships from Frieza 3, and are trying to get as many people off of Earth as possible. There is a post on the forums, and the ships will be taking off on WEDNESDAY MORNING! Anyone left on Earth after that will be killed, with a very, very low chance of a Kaio roll, especially if they died by ignorance or stupidity.... So... Yeah, I'll post the page and logs as I get time, so keep checking the site, and post on the forums!! Oh, and keep sparring, too.

    04/20/04 - Wow, I had to scroll down on the page a lot for the headliner source, which means I haven't posted news in a long, long time. In any event, I've updated all of the spars, so all of you that sent spars in as of 7:19 pm (est) have been updated, I hope this helps you all in your quest to escape the destruction caused by Raziel.

    03/16/04 - I really don't like posting about such negative things, unfortunatley, it's necessary.

    1. I, just as most of you, have a life. You need to understand that other than Power Advantage I am part of other organizations, work, and attend college full-time, I cannot be here constantly, and when I am I usually have things to do.

    2. If you ask me a question and I answer it, don't ask me again, I will remember to do it, it just may take me a while to get to it because of everything else I have to do.

    3. Make sure you clearly understand number two, that's as nice as I will put it anymore.

    4. If I say I'm sure that you were updated, you were updated, I look at those stats so many times in a day, I am more in a position (regardless of the fact that I'm a staff member) to judge than you are.

    5. I am not here to wait on you hand and foot, I may be a staff member but I am not a servant, don't ever demand anything from me. I don't get paid to do this, you aren't my boss and I refuse to be looked upon as though you were.

    6. Anyone who I feel is going against anything I just said, I will block you on the spot, for however long I feel is necessary. I don't like to block members, but for the sake of my sanity, I will.

    Good day.

    04/21/04 - Well, it's done. Earth is now off the map, of course it's not 100% offical since LZ hasn't gone through and killed off all the people left behind (If you need me to do that for you, tell me... I'm getting used to doing bad stuff) but if you're currently residing on Earth... you should be dead. Now, I know there may be some complaints to one thing I did, so I'll try to hit them before I go to sleep. Galaxia didn't even have a space license, and she was taking to long to get her crew ready. She also didnt respond to my statement to her complaint in the complain topic, so she never got a ship. I simply boarded her on the Fenix vessel, which he said she agreed 500 creds for the ride before she knew about her possible ship, and shipped her off.(17's Edit: Due to some staff miscommunication Galaxia was not updated, she has been since then, and all appropriate updates have been made, sorry for the inconvience).
    Now, there is a lot of things that got changed with the... "thing" I messed up the other day. So, some people who are dead may have never been... I'm not sure. I don't know if LZ will allow them to have "hitched" a ride with Fenix or not, so whenever the stuff is updated (I think it should be when he gets a chance, so do NOT annoy LZ during Finals week) and you find out you actually were alive, ask LZ yourself. He doesn't bite.
    In any case, my updates are done. The ships have set off and the planet has gone *boom*! All thanks to... well it wasn't just me, but it seems like everyone blames me. Anyway, keep checkin the site for some updates and keep those forums active. The PA will hopefully be a lot more exciting with this sudden division of the members, so keep a sharp eye out.

    04/25/04 - Just a quick message to everyone who is just hankerin to get their spars done on Monday and start buying things on the planets they flew to: You can't buy things or spar until Tuesday. On Tuesday, LZ will be done with finals (yay) and we will learn which planet blew up. Then everyone can see if they are alive, or dead along with Earth.
    I'm stating this because I don't want 20 e-mails for purchases from people who may be dead and we don't even know it. So just wait the two days, it's not that long. So... keep up that sparring after Tuesday I guess. But, by all means, check out both the general forums and the Role-Play forums. A lot of interesting things are going on in both!
    -Raziel


    04/29/04 - Well, exam week is next week, so I don't really know how much I'll be on as I have a lot of studying to do. The main reason for this post was to ask LZ to e-mail me with the answer to the question of: what planet blew up (because the forums are down)? I need this information so I can continue updating spars and what-not, to all of you who haven't been updated, this is why. You can't spar if the planet went boom. I guess I can't end my post with the normal cliche because the boards are down... and I can't update spars... so... thank Raziel, I'm sure he was the one who brought the boards down too.

    04/30/04 - Umm, just a quick post by me. PD (my hero) pointed out to me that the URL for the forums has changed. So, they ARE up now, just not at the link we have on the site. One of us will mass change each link later, but the NEW LINK TO THE FORUMS IS: Here!
    So, start posting in the forums again... and hopefully we'll find out which planet blew up very soon!
