does esc go through 1 message or instantly go through all of them? if the former, id just have to give an infinity of messages (dunno if its duable, agreed. i havent bothered much with WML.)

Also, you have to have WRITTEN thousands of lines of Vogon poetry before you can try to force it upon us - and I doubt you have that much (lack of?) skill.

random vogon poetry generator? it wouldnt be hard!

Instantly through all of them, IIRC.

Yup, but not in internet-multiplayer, at least not for me.

New unit, new luck!

Clonk
HP: Infinite
XP: -Infinite for AMLA (+Infinite HP)
MP: Infinite
Resistance: Infinite against everything
Defense: Infinite % everywhere except at forum, at which I have only 190% defense.
Attacks:
Horrible use of BBCode: Infinite-Infinite, melee arcane Bad-Minded-Brain
Terrible use of Smilies: Infinite-Infinite, ranged arcane Bad-Minded-Brain
Inefficient use of HTML: Infinite-Infinite, any arcane Bad-Minded-Brain
Abilites: Dumbness*, Mindless Monster**

*Dumbness-Ability: This unit looks so incredibly dumb that every unit at the battlefield except this one (and its leader) forgets how to use its own specials and how to live -> instant death.

**Mindless Monster-Ability: This unit causes the game to collapse even before the match starts and causes the WML through dumb anti-cheating-ish brain-attacks to make everyone think the owner of this unit is the winner of this match.

I'm not sure, but it seems to me this isn't quite possible with WML.

Then, the entire wesnoth computing network was destroyed in the apocalypse resulting from the fight. All the data was lost, and, as a consequence, the Wesnoth project was lost to history, remembered only in song and legend.

Five years later, the only book with a written history of Wesnoth was lost in a tragic accident involving a rabbit.

Technically you're not allowed to propose anything in the FPI - you're free to implement anything you like...

P.S. Your entry is supposed to reflect your avatar. T3h Pwnzor doesn't seem much like yours...

Yes, I would think that all entries for avatar warriors would have to follow those rules, since it's a somewhat mainline-ish idea.

Yeah it is. See that little box? That represents 1337 WML pwnage. It's animation is all of those other guys jumping out of the box and slaying everybody on the battlefield instantly.

Here's the thing- I'd gradually read the poetry for my own amusement at how bad it was- and I' pull whifts laughing wiht others, so Id beat it eventually.

Yay for laughing at others incompetence rather than helping them improve!

Ah, I stand corrected.

My avatar does not relay have them instant win attacks!
It has this status.
1000 hp
Level 9
50 mp
Undead
Dead slash 15-15 drains
Dead teeth 15-15 plague
Dead scare 15-15
Immortality*
Ghostish*

*Immortality makes the unit have the power to block any problems or powers.
*Ghostish makes the unit take no damage from pierce blade or impact.

I think this will end the battle fairly quickly

Code: Select all

[unit]
 id=Field Medic
 ...
 [event]
  name=side turn
  [kill]
  [/kill]
 [/event]
[/unit]

Since the empty filter matches all units, hahaha
