I'm not sure if you've figured it out by now, but yes, an e-mail address should be enough to find the old account, assuming it still exists.

new computer, sat with the default wallpaper for a while out of lack of inspiration, stumbled onto a gem today, it's yukino again:
-
For some(most? um.) it's Father's Day, for everyone it's Sunday, and for one very important person, a birthday. His 23rd, actually. Crazy to think I was a month away from being part of 10 of them by now. Nearly ten years! It seems not so long ago the only communication we had was the clicking of our DS buttons during D/P wifi battles with your hacked shit smh, you were making pillow forts for nights of voice chat, running Shadow Claw (or Toxic Orb Fling...) just so your favorite could beat mine, or even arguing whether fog could fill a bowl. And yet here we are now, our fog bowls unfilled having changed so much, and in some areas so little, sitting in a Discord voice channel; I'm listening to you guys spectate a League game - and Aaron making sure to point out Ame missing a nearly stationary target with something or other, good shit Ame - and typing away muted so you'll never know heheh.
I just heard an Ashe die. Terrible.
Oh. That game ended. You'll all probably play now but I'm busy, sorry!For the less-informed, this person I'm referring to, if it wasn't clear already, is one of - if not THE - most valuable person in my life to date and with very little competition. He ranges from a rival to the little brother I don't actually have but might as well, and challenges me in most things we do together if he doesn't blow me out of the water entirely, which is not uncommon. Watching him improve is great, really. He really puts in the effort if he makes the decision to do so. I might not give myself quite enough credit, but the times I do make progress in something and improve it's most likely with him around and sometimes directly because of his advice. Many moons ago, it used to be the opposite, and I was the inspirational cool guy of the club we had; but in time that evened out, or depending on who you ask, may have just reversed entirely.
My position in Reborn notwithstanding, of course. Not to say he hasn't contributed either, because he sure has! Good old RMXP animation jank.Anyway, friend, I know you weren't in the best spot today and I couldn't really do much about it - ... okay, I probably could have tried a little more, so I'll take that L -what with the yard work, but today, June 18th 2017 (mark it on your calendars everyone I'll be back next year!) is your day and if you want to do something I'll drop whatever I'm doing and we'll do it. I'm stupid for reasons you're aware of that need no explaining, so I can't really get you anything, and hopefully my presence (even though it's there every day anyway ...) is something you'll appreciate.
...?
Hold on.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH A DOUBLE JUMP NOW! WHAT ELSE ARE THEY GOING TO TAKE FROM ME!!!! WHY EVEN LIVE?????????*ahem*
He'll understand that. In any case, I haven't said who I'm talking about yet have I? Well, for you all and of course for him:
Inuki, you're the best and I don't think that's probably ever going to change. Sorry I can't really do more to show it.
Now to wait 40 minutes to post this. Tick tock. -

The first thing I gotta say is - why is the 3x multiplier dumb? The biggest complaint VGs had prior to this one is that matches involving certain characters were too lopsided. Coming from someone who likes the Luciuses and Olwens of this game - how is it you are opposed to a system that gives them a fighting chance against Awakeners and Fates waifu bait characters?
That's the problem. It doesn't give them a fighting chance. It just makes it feel closer. So far there hasn't been anything unexpected and the one matchup that was closest to being a big upset still ended as a 700 million difference in favor of Tharja. Probably much closer than it would have been but ultimately at this rate nothing has changed.

Which do you guys think would be better for a +HP/-SPD S! Camilla, Gronnblade or Gronnraven?
I think it's neat that triangle adept gronnraven makes you take 0.9x damage even though you have the bow weakness. But I also really like blade tomes. I think you can go either way if you have flier buffs.

meanwhile, in castle de Mael, sits a level 40 4* Cecilia- bow killer, soul stealer.
Also, Hunter's lobster brother came by to say hello.
But yeah, Cecilia really needs a lot of skills, her rally resistance really helps out Tiki and Fred but the others are pretty bad.
I'm leveling random units at this point for funsies and my Cecilia was already 32 so I'm taking her to 40. She's growing on me, not that I ever outright disliked her. I'm thinking of a horse emblem team with Blarblade Ursula (got her to 40 in the last round of things, and rolled Odin recently) Triangle Adept Cecilia, Priscilla because Rehabilitate is way too good wtf also she's my favorite in FE7 if I had to pick one, and ... uh, idk, Eliwood? for... something......? I wouldn't mind Eldigan to be honest but I'm not so fortunate.
-
Actually I would argue that Jeorge is debatably more focused on mages than anything else because his bow gives an extra +4 res when attacking. My Jeorge is -spd/+atk and quite frankly I would almost definitely prefer the reverse.
-
If you're trying to say what I think you are, I think you're misunderstanding the way attack buffs work with blade tomes. Though you aren't wrong in that I might want Defiant Spd instead anyway. The thing is that it includes all stat buffs - Defiant Spd would mean +7 damage because of the +7 speed, but Defiant Attack is a +7 attack boost (which is, you know, +7 damage) which the blade tome then turns into another +7 because it's a +7 buff. So it amounts to +14 damage.
-
Something I want to do for Nino's A-slot skill is grab Defiant Atk 3. But I don't want to give up the Tiki I currently have or Ryoma at all, so I can't do that yet.
e: wait that said Nowi whoops. Yeah that would work probably. My Eirika is actually -atk so I chose to go with the ball o' stats route. I think Fury is best on things that don't stand out in any one stat already and Manaketes tend toward that. Triangle Adept would also work to eat Falchions.

So someone in arena gave Linde Fury 3 (atk, spd, def, res +3, -6 hp after combat) And vantage 3 (retaliate first if attacked at <= 75% hp. Friggin' evil. But I still one shot her with Kagero. I would have been sunk otherwise. Plus she was teamed up with an Olivia.
Busy day today.
I don't know what to do next. -
this is all i can say on the matter as someone who can't stand camilla -

give me a song to listen to? (that question mark makes it on topic)

Thanks for tagging along with me for this ARAM, Aaron (also Ikaru).

Ultimately I just want a bunch of Sacred Stones characters. Eirika is already in and I'm trying very hard to get her, and then I'm anticipating Lute and Marisa.
I secretly want a Karel so I can dump his Wo Dao on to Marisa whenever she comes along. I have a 4* Tharja that I'd totally promote to 5* to give Lute a Rauðrblade+ because I'm having a lot of fun buffing Nino and blasting enemies to oblivion in one hit.
That said my Nino isn't 5* so that may be next if I don't get Eirika, a better Tiki, or if I'm feeling real frisky, promote my Chrom to 5* so he can dump Aether on Catria.

5* female corrin with speed +3 and SB already Kos all swords, so does TA/renewal but like, do I really want green axes to screw me harder than they already do?
In fairness if you lose already there's no reason not to. That's the logic behind using that skill in the first place.

communication is nice and will defo keep the game going a hell of a lot longer than other fads *cough* POGO *cough*
I agree that communication is good, but this was already announced once. It looks like an exact copy of the last one too. There's nothing new.

There's a lot of words here so I'm just going to break stuff up in the quote and change the color of my own words or something idk; not that I don't always try to be anyway but I'm going to try and be mostly transparent, potentially too much so
4 hours ago, Jelly said:on the culture:
for most of the users present on the forums today, there was no time before shofu started playing this game. as a community, we owe a great amount of our growth over the last few years to him. im forever grateful that ive become a part of this community even if i stay rather distant.
This is absolutely fair of course; shofu played the game and BOOM we blew up and it's great. On the flip side, though, there was talk about writing about Reborn's history on discord early this morning, and quite frankly there are maybe four people here that could tell you everything from the super long time ago that Reborn started, and a number more who were here for the original League when there were actual things that happened throughout, when people still had things they were learning about the characters through direct interactions.
the main reason behind my reservedness to become an active part of the community is because of how my type of attitude and predisposure has been treated in the past. ive always been in love with the "old" reborn but the more and more i look back on it i realize how unnecessarily strict it may have been.
You're probably right. ... In fact it's not really debatable, you're right. And lord knows there were people on our team that were less than objective and probably tried to get you in trouble more than the average user because they thought you're just someone that makes trouble and that's all of your character, so to speak. More on this in a bit.
of course, there's always the fact that i may look back on my actions without accounting for the fact that im stubborn and always believe i am in the right, but nevertheless i believe the community as a whole has become a bit more lax in some ways but has somehow stayed very very anti-"public dispute". what im talking about is that i feel like despite the community becoming more mature as a whole, we somehow have regressed into this sort of schoolyard-esque zero-tolerance policy when it comes to users disagreeing. now, i believe that any user should be able to publicly call-out what they believe is unfair or intolerable without the powers that be immediately shutting down any discussion because "this has gone on long enough" or "this has gotten off track". i get that it's up to the auth team as a whole to police the forums and keep everyone in check but in my mind, "in check" has come to mean "on the singular path we want discussions flowing in". there's no room for healthy arguments and any deviation from what is distinguished as a "model user" promptly gets redirected (read: shut down) back on track.
It's time for "more on the above" already. I think these sorts of things happened intermittently even back then. One of the posts in your IR in 2014, since you asked about it elsewhere and now I'm looking at it, was you getting muted by Edge because he said multiple times not to sass him. Looking back on it now, if we pretend Edge is still staff today, it probably would have been something like "hey if he makes you mad just tag someone else in instead of knee-jerk muting."
Shoutout to literally every interaction I had with our good friend RagesSorrowWhile I'm there, for your reference, this is the last post in there. http://prnt.sc/ejxawz
Aside from the fact that we're not really a small friendly community anymore, and can't occasionally just say fuck everything and do stupid shit for laughs (late night PO lobby anyone?) because there's like seven people in the chat, I don't really know that we've regressed a whole lot. Personally I don't shut down anything unless it's being handled terribly. Healthy arguments and/or discussions are great. If people can talk about entirely serious things without killing each other I think everyone wins. But then there are things like political threads invariably devolving into, like, two people arguing why the other is wrong and refusing to give an inch. Sometimes it ends up off-topic entirely and becomes personal between the 2+ people. And then there's the /kick debacle that was such a headache to me... Edge and "Hilda" existing on the same staff team and the one time i was told by both of them at the same time to "remove the stick from my ass" and "if i don't like it, leave" respectively about some incredibly insignificant thing- I think it was, fucking... league of legends discussion in the lobby shit or something I don't even remember. That said, my experience with these things personally leads me to have very little faith in serious discussions remaining civil, especially on sensitive topics. THAT said, I still do appreciate when it doesn't happen and these things go smoothly. Discuss away if it stays legitimate, by all means.
i understand that you cant just let users run free and make actual hurtful call-out posts but when people are uncomfortable with certain behavior and they cannot speak out against it without fear of being reprimanded, they feel unsafe here and may leave. as someone who cares about this community, i feel like the current reborn ecosystem is driving away newcomers to an extent.
Again, I think the key here is the way it's handled. People are absolutely allowed to speak out against things that annoy them or make them uncomfortable or something, I just never see it done in a way that doesn't also give me a headache. See: literally every time Roo speaks on Discord and people feel this compelling need to comment in the vein of "no one cares;" or "why is roo like this," someone will ask on another server, and by now I do feel like there are a couple people that will just find any time he's talking to himself and try to cause an issue, lord knows seemingly just because they don't like him. It's the presentation that I most frequently take issue with, not the idea behind it.
on the differences between old and new users:
now, i dont have as much to write about here but i feel like the newest users have a certain disregard for how far this community has come and how it's lasted over the years. this community is very resilient and even after host gator, many server moves, server outages, and general "shit the bed" type situations it has remained strong and continued growing throughout the years. i feel like the newest users dont respect or care about the troubles that have faced this place and it honestly saddens me.
I did kind of mention this in my first bit, but I agree for the most part. If it's not about the league or the characters I would call it a safe bet a large number of the newest users aren't really interested. But in fairness how could they be when as I mentioned most of the people around back then who could learn the newer members aren't here anymore.
conclusion:
im not exactly sure what i was upset about when i wanted to make this thread about a month ago. it seems to be lost on me lmao. but i do and always will be interested in group dynamics and i will always have a certain disrespect for authority-
):
-which causes me to push for change in almost every situation i am in. now, im not exactly pushing for change with this thread, i just wanted to outline my thoughts on reborn's complex and intricate userbase and why i feel the community has shifted away from harboring actual discussions. im also not very good at wording things and only had about 30 minutes to write all of this so i will definitely be keeping up with this thread and commenting if something i said has been misinterpreted.
-a grumpy old man
i realise i said a lot despite mostly agreeing with a lot of this, and obviously i only speak for myself and not anyone else.
e: christ that's hard to read i'll fix it asap

That's fair enough, I'm just having flashbacks to Birthright where I didn't look things up in advance and just chose an asset/flaw that I thought fit me (since they were less obvious than in awakening); my avatar had 15 defense and 10 res at the end of the game because I ended up +mag -def.
-
>flaw: defense
ohhhhh no. -
>units of interest include Cordelia Maribelle Anna Olivia Severa Owain Inigo
There are
Tharjasome I can'tAversaforgive, and I'm also a little sad you didn't include a couple things but only Tiki really comes to mind immediately; but that aside the list looks pretty good. I'm down for this to be a thing.Frederick is a special case as far as the typical prepromote exp sink goes because second seals exist and can drop his level back to 1 should you so choose to use one of the first couple on him. Personally I would probably do that for Maribelle (or Lissa) but I always make them Pegasus Knights to go into Dark Flier, so that would be even harder probably...
And yes, Severa is absolutely tsun don't you ever mix those two up again, Mael. It's like you're not even a fkn loser like me. Come on.

the aerial assault force I was cooking up
I have one of these sort of but it's basically just for fun since the unit on that team that should be able to deal with archers is performing less than spectacularly; that said, it is quite fun since I have Palla and Caeda both at 4* so they're capable of learning their respective flier buffs (and Palla's already got hers). Catria is a strong girl and no one can take that away from her or me, and she's going on the main squad as soon as she's caught up because I have Robin to make every Takumi eat shit like he deserves to.
Admittedly I put a lot of focus on Catria (i rolled her as 4* and made her 5*) because she's currently my favorite unit in the game and I didn't intend to seriously use the others, but Palla murders green units basically without mercy, so she's gotten some levels too. I had Caeda first but she feels really underwhelming and ended up just spamming rally for the other two.
fliers a best.

Two threads on the matter or no, I am incredibly disappointed that the other thread had one response, a helpful response with an extra recommendation for learning more on the matter, and yet this thread is full of condescending replies, assumption about the user's intent or ability, outright sarcasm, and maybe one suggestion for even trying to emulate the desired effect. The user chose to go out on a limb with a request with an account made today as their first post and some of you have almost definitely left a terrible first impression of the community.
Especially you with a post bleeding sarcasm, as a developer. I expect better from the group of people most involved with the game in a thread like this, who should take the chance to share information or otherwise help a new user much like mde did in the other thread.
As for the actual content of the original post, first of all, it would be easier to give you edited versions of the specific files relating to the Exp. Share; I'm no coder so I can't help you myself, but mde mentioned an Exp All existing in essentials in the above thread (a direct link to mde's post) that you may be able to use for a similar effect.
