Gather around kids, I'm here to tell you a little story.

Once upon a time, there was a game that everyone loved. It had the best mechanics, it was the fairest of the fair, every nook and cranny was balanced.

Its blocky hills stretched far longer than the eye could see, its models, textures and artwork were absolutely magnificent! The swords' models were shinier and sharper than the brains of the greatest minds, the hammers' damage blunter and heavier than ever, the bow stats as accurate and well fitted as possible, and the magic system more mystical than ever before.

As a result, everyone had fun and stayed within it for hours.

All to the point it managed to topple every other major game giant out there! But that would soon become its downfall.

You see, when everything is centralized and answers to one thing - one problem can ruin it all.

And so, the Godmodder wreaked havoc upon the lands! He cheesed the most agonizing of bosses, and cheated the most skilled pros! And what he did to new players is just unspeakable.

The Moderators and Developers acted quickly to stop him, yet it was soon found that no ban, warning, anti-cheat, nerfing could stop him. They were degraded to the same level as regular players: utterly powerless against this vile hacker.

The evil Godmodder seemed to have full power over these lands...

Well, that was until the Innovators came! Since the Godmodder seemed to triumph over all known methods, how about make new ones he had not a puff of knowledge about?

And so, these were all the ways they managed to overcome the Godmodder...


Welcome to Destroy the Godmodder: New Beginnings!

Forget everything about the lore of original Destroy the Godmodder, this is a brand new clean slate.

The setting is a vague video game like world. It goes by basic video game logic, such as the oh so common Critical Existence Failure, or damage working way different than in real life. Such as blood being simply a life drain effect, random crits, all of that!

These are the rules:

  • You may attack only once per round, rounds being the intervals between my posts. After a sufficient amount of players make their attempts, I'll post the results.

  • Creativity is encouraged. The Godmodder will learn from previous attacks, and will become immune to them after he has been stricken by them.

  • Teamwork makes dream work. If you collaborate with others to make a single attack, the higher the chance of it hitting.

  • Charges. These power up your attacks and make them more likely to hit. You gain 1 every 10 rounds, or when you make an impressive attack. It has to be impressive by everyone's standards though, not just mine. Charges have a VERY tiny chance of being automatically applied (without consuming whatever one's you hold) when you make attack, in the form of random crits. Everyone starts with a single charge.

  • Now, for the process of whether your attack hits or not. I'll rate it against the Godmodder, and give it a chance of hitting. If it's bad enough, like a simple swing of a sword, it'll be an automatic 0%. These chances still have the minuscule possibility of getting the random crit or being increased by charge though. I'll then put it into a randomizer on whether it gets that tiny chance of having a random crit. Once I'm done, I'll either put in the original value or buffed value depending on the result in yet another randomizer, to decide if it hits or not. Depending on the attack, I may run another randomizer to see how much damage exactly.

  • The chances on a non charged attack are capped at 50%. Charges remove that limit.

  • Insta kill attacks are allowed, but will have a lower chance than normal attacks because the game ending immediately isn't exactly fun.

  • Roleplay is encouraged, but not needed. You can attack each other, but keep your general focus on the Godmodder.

  • The HP of the Godmodder is hidden.

  • You can jump in at any time, no need to sign up.

  • If there are enough "basic" attacks, they will all be grouped up under one attack. Now then, what constitutes a basic attack is just something that relies on brute force to deal damage

  • Defense Rounds occur each multiple of 5. In this kind round, you come up with ways to defend yourself from the onslaught of whatever the Godmodder has ready. Uncharged actions aren't capped at 50% of success in this type of round. Failing to defend yourself will result in the inability to attack for 1 round. You can still do other things, though like support actions.

  • One last rule: absolute bullshittery is not tolerated. Even if your attacks require multiple rereads and as a bit mindscrewy, they still have to make a bit of sense. You can go as far as you want, as long as it's in creativity and goodwill.

Tips:

Use charges on attacks that are already good to make use of their potential. A charged bad attack is the same as an uncharged good attack. A charged good attack has a good chance of hitting, plus dealing a good amount of damage.

Anyways, let the attacks begin!

(Keep in mind that these rules may be amended if needed)

Do I have a pre-set amount of attacks?

How far does the extent of these attacks go?

[up][up][up]You don't, it's simply limited to one per round. As for the extent, as long as it's in creativity and goodwill, it's allowed. You can jump in at any time.

[up][up]That is one of the hidden values.

[up]Yes, if you want to. But keep your total focus on the Godmodder. This isn't Troper War.

I roll up to the scene in a white van, and park some distance away from the godmodder.

"First rule of dealing with threats: Fight fire with fire." See, I had my fair share of hacks as well. A little script hook there, a little integration there, and voila, the game could pull logic from another game.

I open up my van. There are several blocks, with something written on each of them. I start assembling simple sentences out of each of them.

"BABA IS YOU" - Now, whenever there's an object that is a quadripedal handdrawn cartoon creature, it should become controllable by the player.

"BABA IS DEFEAT" - Now, this very same object destroys any object that is controllable by the player, that occupies the same space. Given the above, any such object becomes self destructive.

And now, for piece de resistance

"GODMODDER IS BABA" - This should turn the godmodder into said cartoon creature.

Now, let's see it self-destruct. The godmodder won't even know where the attack came from.

Here in my car, I feel safest of all. I can lock all my doors, it's the only way to live in cars.

I kick in with the DYNAMIC ENTRY COMBO X3.

First, I make my entrance by hitting a flying kick against the godmodder, one of my signature moves.

Second, I bust out a Mini-Uzi and gun the fucker down with a 32-bullet-clip. Except the bullets... Were all grenades.

Third, I throw the gun at his face and end the attack with a combo within a combo. The good ol' one two three L M H deal.

Round 1 Results:

As the Innovators ready their onslaught, the Godmodder prepares.

Jack's scripts seem to be able to penetrate the Godmodder's immunity to transformation due to their origins from another game, but ultimately fail because of Luna crashing into the blocks. The Godmodder had strong armed Luna's attacks and issued him a beating of his own.

Tonack's Grenades and Owen23's bazooka do nothing, as the Godmodder learned about them due to AOE and explosion damage being part of the base game.

Virido's Electric Slide gets a rebuke in the form of the most ungodly static shock that the Godmodder cooked up. He takes his metals, carpets and balloons? and unleashes them on poor Virido.

ZuggaluggalocoroG's attack is ultimately useless due to it being made up of things that the Godmodder has countered. He grabs ZuggaluggalocoroG's legs and twists them. Similarly, since YourEternalTroper's is literally just the same old things but set to the extreme, he fails too and gets a similar punishment.

The first success! Whether it be the amount of models loading in or the absolute craziness of the total Pokémon fridge brilliance, logic and horror across the franchise, the Godmodder gets a hit from each Pokémon type. The damage is tiny, but slightly visible. Bug bites, little charred parts of skin, and such. Fortunately, the poison certainly did something. It will now deal 2 hit points of damage over time for the next 5 rounds.

I should probably be more transparent about attacks: Their chances are limited to 50%, but can go higher with charges. I'll update the rules to reflect this.

Round 2: Begin!

I look upon the fresh new carnage unfolding in the distance. This is the third time. Perhaps there will never be an end.

From its holster, I pull an handgun-like device and points it at the Godmodder. Only it does not fire a projectile; this is a Holo-Targetter. It marks the Godmodder's weakpoints, making the next attack more likely to hit, but otherwise does no harm.

Nothing seems to have changed. But perhaps one day it will.

Sigh.

"The direct approach didn't work, huh?" I say to Luna.

I pop open my laptop, and consult the images from other camera viewpoints I've spawned.

"Second rule of engaging threats: No such thing as overprepared." The program I'm running computes the current coordinated of the godmodder based on the camera coordinates. They might have erased themselves from the object list to prevent game master from opening a can of whoop-ass on them, but nothing can cheat the good old math.

GODMODDER'S CURRENT X COORDINATES: -3.286733100015

GODMODDER'S CURRENT Y COORDINATES: 864.78457221156

GODMODDER'S CURRENT Z COORDINATES: 0.05421775

The coordinates are updating as the godmodder moves. I then pull out a portable teleporter and attach it to the van.

TELEPORT TO GODMODDER'S COORDINATES? Y/N

I press Y, then press enter. The van disappears, and hopefully appears right where the godmodder is. Hopefully it has the desired results.

I think I'm going to spend a charge on that one.

I get Maxwell's notebook from Scribblenauts and write the adjective "invincible" for me and other Tropers and "dead" for the Godmodder, just to see what will happens. If that doesn't work, try the adjective "friendly" to the Godmodder to prevent it from attacking.

This attack has a charge.
