Lantz's fics / Re: Of Swords and Sorcery (Chronological edition discussion)

Pile driving ORT? That's a little too ridiculous for my taste. Then again, I don't understand your metaphysics Lantz.

Can you explain?

Deworming Sakura isn't too easy though....

I mean killing Zouken physically is easy for a servant, but saving Sakura from the worms isn't.

If they can manage to actually kill Zouken, then deworming Sakura isn't so much of an issue, and can be done later (I'm sure there is a magical healer somewhere who is capable of doing it). Without Zouken, there isn't anyone to control them and, therefore, her.

Also, removing the worms at the time of Zero should be easier, because they've had less time to become intertwined with her body.

True dat about the Zero part. However, without the worms in her body for 10 years, she won't have the sad back story that many fans of hers remember her for. They'll say "oh, Sakura would have been amazing if she only had the worms in her body. That way, she would have this totally terrible back story that we can feel sympathy for." Seriously though, what will she do in the 10 years of being free of Zouken? Her father all but gave her away so that she could be the successor of another family. He might just go and do that again, saying "oh, its all for the greater good. Sakura can learn magic from another family and be their ace!" There's a reason why he did that in the first place. If Zouken's place mysteriously vanishes and Sakura comes back, he might think that a wild accident occurred (Grail war) and do the same thing again, hoping it will be more successful.

Well, the idea of the Berserker class is to strengthen weak servants by making them go insane. You didn't see Lancelot or Heracles making civil discussion. Why would Kariya or Illya do anything differently concerning ME?

Well, Kariya having a sane servant would be a major advantage to him, in reality, because his best chance of saving Sakura is to summon a servant who can kill Zouken or remove the worms from her somehow. I suspect that has a lot to do with why Zouken told him to use the Berserker class in the first place....

Actually, it's because really, Zouken gives no shits about Kariya, and probably would have just iced him and taken the seals if he came close to winning, to get that wish for himself.

As a consequence, Sakura WOULD get to go free, but only because Zouken would be pimpin' out on his wish and not need her anymore.

And then the world will end.

As for mad enhancement, it is used to make weak servants strong but the cases where we do see berserkers break the rules by being strong heroes in the first place. In fact, putting them in the berserker class weakens them since they can't use their main NPs or make rational decisions. Hercules was remembered for being a cunning individual and his NP is a powerful anti-dragon NP and Lu Bu could use all of his NP's forms if not in ME. Lancelot is an odd case in which he uses his other abilities to get the power boost with little to no concequence, but he uses the mad enhancement to be stronger in physical stats to Saber.

I'd honestly like to see more ideas with berserker servants making use of mad enhancement and doing something creative with it like with Lancelot. At least he wasn't crippled by using the damn skill. As for Zouken, he told Kariya to use the berserker class to compensate for Kariya being a weak master. If he did summon a servant in a different class, that servant would be a lot weaker then it would normally be.

qwerty, yes, we are.

If we are, then lets keep talking. I rarely see you Xam, what's up?

As for fanfictions, it would be nice if the fans of those fics weren't so bad sometimes. They say some of the dumbest things and treat it like as if they did something unique or some bullshit like that. "OH MAN, SHIROU IS SO DUMB. I WISH YOUR AWESOME OC KILLED HIM AND TOOK HIS PLACE! HE'D CERTAINLY MAKE A HAREM AND MAKE A HAPPY ENDING!"

I already said, we're dropping it. Can you stop bringing it up now? I'm following the rules already Cherry.

I did talk about something related to this thread earlier, but it didn't catch on Xam. Sry.

Also, KAIZA discussing about the warning about not discussing Lantz's fic in this thread is still discussing Lantz's fic in this thread. Are we still talking about what annoys us in fanfiction or what?

technopriests are awesome. Also, my discussion about Lantz's fic is very brief and done with.

Fine, so maybe I wasn't discussing about annoying things in fanfiction a moment ago. Is it wrong all of a sudden to mention this fact? Lantz won't let me ask how Superman's experience is correlated to Satoshi's experience on BL, now you won't let me discuss about his decision on the other page? Why is it so wrong to discuss such small things on a page about fanfiction? Whatever, I'm not discussing about his fic at the moment. I'm talking about something that annoys me in anime.

Now, I'll talk about how fanfiction writers following other fanfiction writers annoy me because they cling to another fanfiction writer's logics and rules and think they apply to that universe. Happy? This topic isn't about Lantz's fanfiction.

Also, at least Lantz has written more on the setting and is expanding the length of the story. However, the plot still needs to keep advancing. Slice of Life won't last forever. He needs to be careful about the pacing for the future of his fic.

Also, I dislike how characters discuss a terrible issue, but doesn't do anything about it. Its like saying that they feel sorry for war orphans, but give small change and move on. Do those heroes try anything to help on a smaller scale? Even if that big issue they're working on gets resolved, the world goes back to what it was eventually and no real positive changes happens. I wanna see the hero do a big positive change for a big issue the real world can relate to. If there is a story out there with a subplot like that, can anyone tell me about it?

I'm apparently not allowed to discuss what happened in Lantz's fic. I mean, I'm not saying anything rude now am I? I'm just discussing about what actually happened, and am now seeing how you guys feel about what happened.

Besides, this is the place where we can discuss about fics right? I haven't slandered the fic this time or anything.

Apparently, you need to vote for a girl to make your vote count, but its now closed. How many people's votes actually counted this time? Well, it doesn't matter since only punching Gil in the face was chosen.

OK fine. I went a little too far with that one I guess. I'll stop being a troll to you. However, since you don't want me to say anything else...

Lantz, your fic is too small. I don't think people will mind your fic taking longer if the word count is longer.

Be careful with that large cast, it'll be hard to manage everybody in your fic all at the same time. You've advertised all those characters already, so you gotta find a way to integrate them into your fic.

You gotta give a better description of the place. You don't need to go purple prose or anything, but some description of where your fic takes place helps.

Good luck.

Fine. I'm not even insulting Lantz or Satoshi there, but I'll stop.

Now we wait for the fic....
