Updates/News
6/24/01 - Attention all Pure Saiyans! The stupid Angelfire server we use have somehow deleted the Pure Saiyan member's page. It has also deleted the Trainings and Clans but we have those saved. But we need all Pure Saiyans to send in their stats. If you don't have a record of your stats, tell us that you don't have it, and I'll try and remake your stats from memory. I think I generally remember everyone's stats. Quickly so we may fix the problem! Sorry for the inconvienence, but we can't solve AngelFire's problems.

6/23/01 - Here's some more bits of news: So far three people have taken the quest with the new system I made up. All three have them have passed. All of them were difficulty of 2. Mirai Trunks went for Extra Trainings and Extra Store. He used a senzu bean and a db radar, and just barely made it. Brolli went for a total of 2000 Credits, using a senzu bean, DB Radar, and a scouter. He also resorted in using his senzu bean in order to pass the quest. Toma went for 2000 Credits also, using a DB Radar and Scouter. He did use a Senzu bean but still passed with plenty of HP left. I hope that the recent victories in the quests don't incourage everyone to try and take the quest also. As the previous attempts show, the quests are pretty hard so only go if your prepared correctly. Also remember that you can only Honor Match 5 times a week, and that 2 moves equal 1 spar now due to the saga. Get ready and train hard for the saga. We have 4 created clans now. Remember that there are the normal clans that you join in the beginning and that you guys need to get together as a clan. You guys can tell me who you guys choose as a leader and other such things if you guys have those in the clan. Train Hard!

6/23/01 - Some news, since people didn't see the Note. Email me ASAP if 6:30 PM PST is good for you to be online for the Saga, on July 2nd, Monday. I have 1 no, and 3 yes, so far. Please get this information to me by today, or by early tomorrow morning. Secondly, we have a counter on the bottom of frames now. Nothing special. Thirdly, I am leaving for the provincial University tomorrow morning to take a few courses for a few days, so I will be gone from Sunday until sometime Wednesday night. Remember, don't send me Forwards, or big picture files. Also remember to train for the upcoming Vegeta Saga finale. We have had a 2nd quest finished although the money has been spent. I hope you all have a good time while I'm gone.

6/21/01 - Alright, we have some things finalized. The Saga date is set: July 2nd (Monday) at 1:30 PM, PST. This is 2:30 Mountain, 3:30 central, 4:30 Eastern, and I believe 9:30 British. I am sorry if it is a bit late/early (I don't know what time it would be for Aussie.. I think 9:30 AM the following day). Please try and figure this time out ASAP. I will be leaving a 24 hours time-of-notice for you to clear it with families, in advance. I don't want the excuse of "My mom wouldn't let me on the comp" or whatever else. Write it on the calender, and brown-nose if you need to. This is important, and shouldn't take more than 2 hours, if done correctly. If too many people can't get online at this time (You must respond this to me in 24 hours notice!), then it MAY be resheduled, possibly. Secondly, your suggestions have been greatly appreciated, but don't name things for personal gain. Most in-battle items are already pointed out, and many other things. Don't be angry if you get no credits for ideas if other people got to them first. It was solely to allow people to help their RPG, not to pout because of it. Lastly, the full moon schedule will be kept simple; The 15th of every month will be a full moon. Any Saiyans or Part-Saiyans battling will default go Oozaru in all battles, no exceptions (No tails is an exception). Other than that, keep training, as Vegeta and Nappa are arriving soon. Several plans are being used, but I will end some now: They cannot be killed by the lucky 1Hit kill bonus from attacks, such as Destructo Disk and the like. The Saibamen can, but Vegeta and Nappa can't. Koshoko won't stop Vegeta's Speedy Evasion, as it isn't a "power-up". These are just a few I had to nip in the bud, but keep recruiting and training, guys. We are doing much better in the placements on the counters; 38 individual hits a day is WONDERFUL! Great job, all of you!
NOTE: Time is being changed to 6:30 PM, so do the math yourself. I apologize to the english people who have a 2:30 AM time, and the Australians who still have school, but email me if you cannot make this new time ASAP!
-LanderZ
6/21/01 - Everyone who has recently sent an request for a dragonball quest, please resend. I have made a new form and I need anyone who wants to go on a Dragonball Quest to use the new form. Also remember to keep training for Vegeta and Nappa! Recruit so you can get more money! But recruit only people you'll know that'll stay active! We will be removing all inactive members very soon so make sure everyone is staying active. If your inactive because you don't know how the RPG works but your still reading this, just email me at the email address above. I'll gladly help you out to get started!
-MCrashinNow
6/19/01 - The Store extras are added, and you may have took notice of the "More to come" notes on the bottom. Since Suggestions are still open for another week or so, we will keep it open and be adding to it, too. 150 credits if we use your idea, 100 if your's helps us greatly, and 50 if it is good, but doesn't get used. Other than that, the 4 people have all been accepted to King Kaio's, although Mailon just BARELY got in, with a 55% chance, and a roll of 54. They didn't have great chances, due to no Church payments, but they do get better bonuses due to that fact, also. Also, email me your spra, you 4, and you receive double spar-bonuses per spar.
-LanderZ
6/18/01 - Quest update! It has been done! A Dragon Ball Quest has been completed! Difficulty 2, With Dragonball Radar, by Mirai Trunks! He opened up Store and Training Extras! The dead people will love him! The new store will be added in the morning, and will be for sale that same day, by either myself or MCrashinNow. Trainings are up tonight, so enjoy those ASAP! As for King Kaio, rolls are made in the morning.
-LanderZ
6/18/01 - This is MCrashinNow here! The time has come! Not for Nappa and Vegeta! But for we will be adding staff members to the RPG! Only about 1 or 2 people will be accepted. To apply, you must fill out the Staff Application Form. Many people have asked to join the staff so now we are adding staff members to help easen me and LanderZ's work. You must be active and you must be an honest worker.
-MCrashinNow
6/18/01 - Not much to say, except that NOW IS YOUR CHANCE FOR SUGGESTIONS! The Extras Store and Trainings are being made, but even once done, we will be accepting ideas. In the way of themes, for trainings, and items, for stores. Each used Suggestion will yield 150 credits, so send ideas to LanderZ, ASAP!
NEW NEWS: Updated later the same day, the 6 Saibamen are all dead, but at heavy costs. 4 brave warriors have been lost to them. Mourn the death of the poor beaten warriors, Paikuhan, Android 16, Mailon and Vash. All of whom are now residing int he spirit world. On a happier tone, they can still spar eachother, and may be able to train with King Kaio. Maybe they'll save the world, after they return. Vegeta and Nappa are coming with more, so keep training hard! The dates should be announced next week.
-LanderZ
6/17/01 - Not much in the way of news, as MCrashinNow has been inactive for a few days... Anyway, we now have a new Demon, recruited by Android 16. Welcome Hellbringer with open arms, if you will. Secondly, the first recruiting contest has just ended, and I have results (Not in the order of poeople recruited):
1 )Toteppo
2 )Toteppo
3 )Toteppo
4 )Toteppo
5 )Toteppo
6 )Toteppo
7 )Toteppo
8 )Mirai Trunks
9 )Mirai Trunks
10)Mirai Trunks
11)Mirai Trunks
12)Mirai Trunks
13)Brolli
14)Brolli
15)Vash
16)Vash
17)Android 16
18)Cloud
19)Jesrul
20)King Vegeta
21)Minosha
22)Toma
So, the way this works is that there are three prizes, 1000 credits, 500 credits, or a free Ticket to get ANY item in the Extras Store, under 2001 credits, for free, and considering most of them are estimated to be at 1500 credits... you get the picture. The first place person gets first choice, second place gets second choice, and third place gets whatever is left over (Gee, I have abosolutely no idea what that will be...).
The rolls yielded: Android 16, Toteppo, and Mirai Trunks. You WERE able to win more than once, so congratulations to Android 16 for being so very lucky, and congratulations Toteppo and trunks for bringing people in. Now, 16 gets to email/IM myself what he chooses, then Toteppo will be notified and choose, and Trunks will get whatever's left. Keep recruiting, though, as a new recruiting contest is going to start ASAP, with a different, UNKNOWN format, so keep the people flowing.

6/16/01 - Short news. The Saibamen have landed, and have already been confronted. Three of the six first-wave have been defeated, but at a heavy cost. Due to the Kamikaze attacks of these creatures, both Paikuhan and Vash have been killed, taking over 150 damage more than they could handle, saving the lives of their partners. This is to let you know that you MAY DIE during this saga! But you may also train with King Kai, once Extars become open.
Speaking of which, MCrashinNow and I have been frantically working at the different things that come with Extras, and have realized that there is too much to release all at once. So, if you complete an Extras Quest, you have these choices of Extras: Extra Trainings, Extra Store, Extra Locations, and Extra Clans. They have all been worked upon, and hopefully we can have them done by the time a successful quest is met.

6/15/01 - Some small news for the day, as well as larger ones. The tournament has been finished, and stats have been updated. Also, the next Saga is nearly ready, with just minor bugs to work out. It will be slightly different than the past Saga, so here is how things will be working. It is well known that this is where Vegeta makes his big appearance, and that will not be spoiled. He will be here, but him and Nappa have sent a squadran of Saibamen down to Earth, first, to wreak some havoc and cause panic before they arrive. These 6 creatures will be located at various spots around the Earth, and the Location's Map page is how you find them. Using Coordinate linking, you can see a brief outline of any one grid, as well as if any Saibamen are present. If you are in the same square, you can ask myself (AIM name is BanedonOfToran) and you may battle them in a Death Match.
You can only battle if you sign up, so email Lander_Z to sign up for the Saga. If you aren't signed up, you can't battle. The Saibamen will arrive over the weekend, so sign up ASAP. Also, if you're not too strong (PL of below 130,000) you had best find some friends and work together. The Saibamen have a Grapple and Kamikaze combo that will nearly assure the DEATH of the affected person. Work together, and reap the benefits together, and hopefully all stay alive.
Also, Vegeta and Nappa, along with some more Saibamen will all arive on a PRE-SET DATE! This will probably be in the first week of July, and will be announced a week in advance. If you sign-up to be there, you had BETTER BE THERE! We need large numbers of people present in order to win, as you may see from the stats once they come out this weekend (A preview; Vegeta's PL is over 300,000). No single person will be able to defeat them this time around. It is also expected that people WILL die, but the DragonBalls can wish them back, so don't be afraid to try and help. Also, once the Saibamen arrive, if you wish to battle them, you must be in the same square, so for the duration of the Saga 2 moves = 1 Spar, so you can reach one and battle.
Lastly, some non-Saga news is that once school is out, crackdowns will be enforced on the inactive memebrs of the RPG. The ones in the most danger are the ones who started and have done NOTHING since. If you are one of these, you are STRONGLY URGED to start training, or risk being kicked out of the RPG, especially if you are taking a main character's name and not using it.
Lastly, the recruiting contest has done rather well, with 21 tickets in the pot. The draw will be sometime this weekend, so last minute recruits are still open for this contest.
So, sign up for the saga, recruit, and spar for the remainder of this week, maybe leaving 1-2 moves open. Have a nice day!

6/12/01 - Well, we know results of the tourny, more or less, although we are still waiting for one more battle between Mirai Trunks and Bardock to determine third and fourth places in the Heavyweights. Prizes have been rolled for, and some good choices came up. In the Lightweights, the winner is given 500 credits, plus one of the following random items:
1) More cash!(400 credits)
2) Saiyan Armor 1 (Only receives 400 credits, then)
3) Weighted Clothes
4) A Basic attack (1d11)
5) Earth Armor 2 (Only 400 credits, then)
6) A stronger attack (1d14 - 10 KI OR 6d3 and cannot be use for the next 3 turns)
7) Earth Armor 1
8) A ticket to train with King Kaio (Only 400 credits, then)
9) Attack addition (+1d4 or xxxx + 3)
Second place would receive a default 300 credits. The winner of the lightweight tourny was Toteppo, who entered with nearly an unfair power level. The roll turned out to be '4', yielding a 1d11 basic attack, and he received the 500 credits, while Gokou received 300 credits.
As for the Heavyweights, the winner has already been determined to be Cloud, with Toma in second. Since the round robin battles were in effect for this, the prize would be a choice of 1000 credits OR a random item:
1) Attack addition (+1d4 or xxxx + 3)
2) Earth Armor 1
3) A Basic attack (1d12)
4) A stronger attack (1d15 - 12 KI OR 7d3 and cannot be used for the next 3 turns)
5) Weighted Clothes
6) A ticket to train with King Kaio
7) Earth Armor 2
8) More cash!(800)
9) Saiyan Armor 1
Needless to say, the winner won't have any difficulty with this choice: The roll was Earth Armor 1. Cloud was asked of this, and he chose the cash, so Toma gets Earth Armor 1 (Joy...). So, Bardock and Trunks still need to fight, for stat boosts, but stat boosts will be put on the tournament page so people can see what they earned through their trials. The next Saga will be starting soon, so check back every day or so to join it. We'll need LOTS of people on this one; It's Vegeta, Nappa, and Saibamen. Harsh. You can also pay 50 credits, if you were at the tourny, to move to any square on the planet, as well.
-LanderZ
6/9/01 - MCrashinNow here and I've received the tournament battle from Bardock and Toma. They took two days to battle because they had to leave so that's why LanderZ didn't get the email yet but he should have it now. I've changed the tournament page accordingly because Toma beat Bardock. I've made the semi-final setup for the lightweights. Gokou must fight Android 16 to see who makes it into the finals. Toteppo gets a buy and doesn't receive a stat boost for this round. I need everyone to finish their battle ASAP. Also everyone stay active!
-MCrashinNow
6/9/01 - LanderZ, here, and I've got some news. My trip went well, yadda yadda, but I've got more important news than that. I am very disappointed at the lack of effort put into the tourny battles this past week. I really should let all of you be disqualified, but I'll give some of you a second chance. I made a formula to figure out the winner of the battle, based on stats, and even more largely on a random roll. The formula, for those who care, is (MaxHP+((KI*AttDieRoll)/MaxAttCst)+1d100) [1d200 for the REALLY big guys]. This means that your stats are taken into account, and one person will win, but they will not receive the free spar/stat for the round. Winners include Android 16, winning by an exact 50 points, Gokou, winning by a bare 2 points, and Bardock beat Toma by 17 points. (Even though I believe the two battled, neither e-mailed me.) Also, inactive players will be checked for during the next 2 weeks, and cuts may/will be made to the members of the RPG if they have become inactive without an excuse (I have received a few people's words on this.), so keep active! Other than that, just keep battling, and the tourny starts again once the next roster is done by 'Crash. Have a nice day!
-LanderZ
6/5/01 - It's me MCrashinNow, sorry that the spars weren't reset yesterday but I'm getting alittle extra busy where I can't get online till late or not at all. It might take an extra day for things to be updated but your emails will be read so no need to send them twice just because they haven't been updated a day after you sent them. Also because we updated the tournaments page so late in the week, everyone has till Friday to finish up their tournament bout. Good luck to everyone!
