    "Because our seers tell us that balls of plasma a zillion miles away have more control over your life than you do!"    ​


    RAT
    Y'know what, who cares? You're not going to listen anyway. Good luck. You're going to need it.

    OX
    You can grunt, flex, and scream as much as you like, but it would be more polite to just eat less cheese.

    TIGER
    Our children are our greatest teachers. In your case, the lesson is: "There are some mistakes that even dragon balls can't fix."

    RABBIT
    You probably won't notice, but this is going to be the best week of your life. It's all downhill from here.

    DRAGON
    Your parents are irredeemable monsters, and your invisible friend is probably going to kill us all.

    SNAKE
    SLEEP IS FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN'T MY STUDENTS!

    HORSE
    The planets are not are not in an auspicious alignment for you. You should probably fix that.

    GOAT
    You missed a spot.

    MONKEY
    Congratulations, your screw-ups aren't going to get anybody you love killed! Today.

    ROOSTER
    The words, "He's troubled, but I can change him!", make seers laugh.

    DOG
    A fool and his everything are soon parted.

    PIG
    I hate clip shows.

    • Question, the law forbids obtaining higher forms... What about the side grade forms?
     
    What are you people on about? Grade 1 is just regular unmastered Super Saiyan. It's equal or worse in every category compared to Full Power Super Saiyan. (Though technically FPSS does count as Grade 1.)

    Grade 2 is Ascended Super Saiyan. It's worse than Full Power Super Saiyan because the freed up energy of mastering the Super Saiyan form gives you a greater increase to your strength, speed, power, etc. than Ascended Super Saiyan, hence Goku being able to fight Perfect Cell and Vegeta being unable.

    Grade 3 is Ultra Super Saiyan. Stronger and more powerful than Full Power Super Saiyan, but that's it. Pretty much unusable in a fight against anyone you couldn't beat with FPSS to begin with due to the speed decrease and energy drain.

    Essentially, only relevant if we somehow were fighting something like the Deathstar, but in DBZ land: Something big and tough and yet not mobile.
     
    Can I use my vote to specifically focus on not making the tail pun, and have it count like four times harder by not applying any of it to any other pieces of the vote?
    I'm not really in a YOUTHSUIT mood.

    I'm flattered that my quest has been (twice) compared to "Marked for Death," but dear lord, people, it's a tail pun. This is not the YOUTHSUIT. You're going to be fine. The absolute worst thing that can happen is for Raditz to roll his eyes at you. Promise.

    'Sides, vote's closed.

    My reference and comparison doesn't count, sadly, because it's really the same comparison to the same event. I saw the earlier comparison in the heated discussion about plan honest truth, followed it to see what was up in MFD, and then referenced the same incident again just now for the same reason. However - you are great and I will flatter you properly now. Thank you for writing this.

    On another quest, some voters pulled a last-second vote change to go purchase a YOUTHSUIT. There's a lot of context behind that which I am not privy to, but it was apparently sufficiently bad as to warrant serious consequences. The QM's took it seriously for a while and wrote a punishment update in response. The quest nearly imploded. Somebody made a cogent argument for why this should not be sustained and the QM's agreed. But the YOUTHSUIT (the all-caps is important ;)) lives on in the memories of all those who saw their favorite, long-lasting quest go down in flames, however briefly.

    So what your saying is the contexts are completely different in every way.

    Sure if we changed the vote to not ask anything useful and only make a joke and nothing else you'd have even the slightest case, but this is merely an addendum to an already existing point of advancement.

    It was a running gag that started as the protagonist deliberately being silly and fighting with a deliberately stupid style to not give away his own skills while assessing the fighters of a village. One of the characters who would later become a protagonist in the party was enthralled by Rock Lee style. It developed into a running gag and numerous joke votes. One night, the joke vote won, and consequences were never the same. Then the trolls who pushed the joke vote through repented, begged forgiveness, supposedly learned their lesson, and the quest continued with the consequences the same again.

    What I said was a hyperbole, yes, but I did want to thoroughly not make stupid puns and earn an eye-rolling. Kids will be kids, yes, and at ten perhaps we should do this - if we ever behaved in any way like a ten-year-old. But that ship has sailed, and despite being physically ten there isn't really anything else ten about us.

    ...I'm not objecting to the joke. I am exasperated that it took up so much threadspace being a serious issue, but I don't have a problem with it, so I presume you're addressing somebody else. Nonetheless, that's a bit hostile. Please back it down a bit.

    One of our character traits is literally odd ball.

    Indeed it is. And I feel it very inappropriate to activate it in this particular circumstance, which is why I asked about voting against that. You know, with my vote. Which I get to make (assuming voting was still open, but it isn't, so that doesn't matter). It's okay with you if I also play this quest, yes?

    I'm sure there is a story there, but I'm not quite what it is and I suspect I don't want to know
