The Last Poster Wins! [v19]

[Chakramaster]

Ha ha, yep, but if everyone goes for the Pikachu victory method, it becomes easier to go for the Human victory method. It all balances out, but I agree, it would be more fun to rack up points for the Pikachu victory. XD

And yes, ALL GLORY TO THE ELECTRIC RODENT REGIME!

Is the nuke being nerfed any then? With something like that it'll make that a key to winning as a Pikachu. Almost near garanteed a win at that.

Thing is, there are SO many ways of getting Pikachu points now. Just as a preview:

WINNING AS A PIKACHU

If you're going for the second victory condition and the Naughtiest Pikachu token (isn't it so shiny and cool!? You know you want it!), you need to rack up as many Pikachu Points as you can, which are earned by turning humans into Pikachus! Doing any of these fun and highly encouraged activities will add a Pikachu Point to your total:

• You show the world how much of a charismatic role model you are and obtain the Pika Flu Tactical Nuke! The three Pikachus you make with it count to your Pikachu Point total! Yes, you get a Pikachu Point for turning yourself into a Pikachu!
• Someone became a Pikachu because you put Slow Action Pika Flu on them through any number of fun and colorful methods. And yes, if you use it on yourself and that's what causes you to become a Pikachu, that counts as a Pikachu Point!
• You use the Spear of Revenge as a human, target yourself, and the Pikachu Roll hits you!
• Someone got hit with the Pikachu Roll and you were responsible for adding more Chance Numbers to their name! Such a model Chu colony citizen you are! If two Pikachus both put Chance Numbers on the same person and that person gets hit by the Pikachu Roll, they both get a Pikachu Point!
• You whack an unprotected human with the Big Papa Raichu Volt Tackle Hammer! Aww, they're so cute, yellow, and fuzzy now! You also get a Pikachu Point if you trigger someone's Avenger Guard with it and cause another fun Pikachu Roll to land on someone! (note that you can't earn two Pikachu Points for one person in the case where you also put extra Chance Numbers on them and that particular Pikachu Roll hits them)
• Your Challenge Trap springs on an unsuspecting human! Yell "surprise" and throw some confetti into the air!

If you become a human through Blessed Cure, your Pikachu Points get reset to zero! So as a tip, it's a good idea to decide how you want to win early on! You can, however, still earn a Pikachu Point in the rare occasion that you gave someone Slow Action Pika Flu as a human and became a Pikachu before time ran out for them!

So getting the nuke does help nicely, but a person who gets the Big Papa Raichu Volt Tackle hammer stands a pretty good chance at ranking up a bunch of points as well. Getting a bunch of Volt Tackle Hammers can rack up a lot more points than even getting the nuke.

I'm not going to nerf the nuke, but I'm thinking it's going to involve getting the answers to 7 questions right at once rather than 5. So it's a lot trickier to get (especially because now, you get a token just for getting the nuke).

You don't nerf a nuke. If you cover a nuke in Nerf dart material, it's still a nuke. Maybe it'll be replaced with a Pika Flu Water Balloon, but that's just not the same. (posts after explanation lol)

This all sounds very good. Bonus credit for suicide Pikachu = Pika Point

The Pika Flu Tactical Nuke is classic. It is a holy item and it would just be too wrong to nerf it. XD

Gah, I really want to start this now, but eh, still have some more avatar and banner combos to do. I'm done with #9, so I think I'll start sign ups once I get done with #14. Shouldn't be too long now.

[Steven_Six]

No need to fix mine - just make sure i get something i can stab myself with lol

I'll stuff something in my signature that I'm a Pikachu, and proud of it.

Nah, nah, trust me, you'll want these avatars and banners. They're cool and funny.

[Bulbasaur]

Hey, glad you like it!

Heh, heh, I have a feeling introducing this secondary way to win is going to make things so much more interesting and comically fun!

I haven't seen your Pikachu smilies in a bit. :D You need Emolga ones now.

[Neo Emolga]

That I definitely do. That's probably something I'd need to do myself or commission the mighty Speed-X to do. I'd probably go with the later option, because I'm really not a great spriter and yet she'll rock the house and bring it down with her sprites.

[Steven_Six]

Ha i wish i could sprite and draw and that stuff. THAT IS WHY I MUST PIKA-PIKA-WIN! Although i might just leave my banner and Avatar as a pikachu... heh. Oh! you should make some other Electric Rodent type things! Like you got changed by a random Pika roll that hit a number from a Pichu Fun Size, or badda boomed by a Big Poppa Raichu!

Ah, yeah it just made me wonder if it was based off a point system or by each Pikachu YOU create. I guess it means if we want the badge we have to be ready from the start. I was widening if points reset if you get the cure. Guess I'll leave it to fate in the end. Cause I sure would LOVE that Pikachu badge. o^_^o
