Today is officially Feel free to humiliate Anshin day.
Things have grown a bit quiet around here and I know Sustain has been doing a good job with setting up games and tournaments (Thank you by the way). So I figured I would do my part. Post your best defeat of my characters here (Bots are more than welcome to do the same). This is not a contest and there isn't any prize except for having an Autobot punching bag. Burn I know you are out there lurking around, lets see how Bling does against my 3s today. :grin:

In fact lets turn this into a contest. If an Autobot wins by posting more successful missions including my bots than a the cons can, you can choose my next bot that will level up.

If a con wins, you can reformat my bot Shenlong for a week into what ever you would like... :-?

Come on people wake up here!!

Ah, well if you did it in the past you probably took Burn's lead and didn't do it right because nobody noticed. Besides as the only actively speaking Autobot right now I am still trying give you cons to find the same amusement that I do

By the way Bristleback your going to have to try harder:

Wait a minute! I'm supposed to be trying?!? Why does no one tell me these things? Next thing someone will be telling me there are optimal builds and we all know what poppycock that is.

Man, I wish I could find the right optimal build. Been working on a strafing build for months now. As for trying, Its all up to the RNG and if the cleanup routine is working.

Heh see i avoided all that and went with whatever i felt was right for the character. I ignored all the well at x level y tactic doesn't work well blah blah etc and my guys seem to do alright. Then again i also couldn't care less about optimusing, maybe that's why i'm a Con?

I started off like that when I first started. Then we had the big wipe and I started speaking to Tammuz and he kind of nudged me (even though I was an opposite faction) into a certain direction. Fast forward to a few months ago and I picked up the game again and now use it as a healthy distraction and a way to keep my math skills sharp. Part of the fun for me is finding out the little numbers that make my characters tick. There are some cons that I see in my battle scripts that I can't wait till I build up my bots a bit so I can see who is really tougher (Fights that are outnumbered, broken RNG, or out leveled I could care less about). But like you said your characters do alright.

I am trying to get a nice build however for the day when the Autobots come back online and start to get this place to pick up a bit with some friendly banter. That and I think I must have re-written my character bios a dozen times just due to fact that there are constantly adapting and shifting into new personalities in my mind.

Well i unfortunately won't help on the getting people to post stuff as i'm very random in how much energy i can put into saying anything.

My team are pretty constant and most still have their original modes and concepts (even if they don't have the xp required just yet), Powerup was hovering for some time but i think she's settled now. One day i may even write up the story i've had in my head for them.

Wait, there's optimal builds? Hell, now I have to find out what they are because they are too maintstream I like to think outside the energon cube.

Does it lead my guys to getting pounded? Actually, not so much.

Well if you are looking for the least optimum build look at almost every single one of my bots minus Darq...

I can't do that, because since you've done it, it's to mainstream for me as well, I must have my own unique builds!!

Really Anshin. Your team looks pretty similar to mine, if anything i might call my brawling strafe avoiders unconventional. Just keep sending them though i'll keep recycling them.

See this is proof I did something wrong... they look similar to Slip's.. Now I gotta go dump a bunch of points into INT.

Ahh yeah you don't have a strafer medic yet. To bad blurrz orion prime and there other auto buddy are'nt around anymore. Three of them couldn't best me. So one autobot really wouldn't concern me.

Yeah, I am still working out my strafer scheme. But Challenge accepted. Give me 6 months to get Shenlong up to snuff and once he hits 3 then I will work on a Strafe/Medic. Right now everything I crunch down for strafers seems to fizzle out. Most of that I attribute to the level and lack of data collected. But I will keep an eye out. Just because your a con doesn't mean you are doing it all wrong.

Wait a second! Now you're telling me there's a special cube for thinking!?! Okay own up, who keeps stealing the memos intended for me?

medic strafers are the most frustrating effin builds in this game.

Only cause your doing it on the high scale. A repair factors target end in the equation. So if you build a med strf and repair me you get nada. Yet if reap benie's of a guy on your team i hit the lotto. Ultimatley amd i've said it before a strf ram will trump most builds. Disagree ask hoistumis sprokits CJB or even burn. (don't ask burn he'll ridicule me n you. But what do i know just look at Gore.

Variety. Between the all the ram/strafers and ram/avoids on my team I needed something different to make.

Posted: **Sat Apr 09, 2011 4:18 pm**

I went through that phase. Then I decided, all in all, Id rather they weren't dragging my whole team down...
