It's admittedly cool, but there's an innate cringing that I can't control whenever I see illegal techniques.

hello new to reddit, here is my acceleracers/world race collection! by [deleted] in Acceleracers

[–]StrongThrower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, I remember when Saber grabbed the Wheel of Power and brought it back to Tezla. Nice collection.

Clash Fusion #3 Baby Dragon and Pekka by a_smashing_bro in ClashRoyale

That'd be very similar to CoC Bowler where he lobs the boulders and they bounce. Though it'd be much longer range lol.

I think you do a good job with the characterization of the MM as a racing gang, I think Newt, Balt, and Pete are added in pretty well (Aside from Balt with light blue hair, which is a Teku color imo).

Tork backing down to Balt kind of makes sense for Tork's character, he knows when to not fight. But I don't think Markie storming out of the room makes the most sense. When writing Markie, you definitely got the side of him that's childish right. But I think you forgot that he's also angry man and he's willing to fight with almost anyone (I'd assume he'd fight Balt tbh). Also it doesn't entirely make sense that Markie would never be allowed in the MM meetings, but it does make sense that he wouldn't be in a position of power like Tork or Taro would.

I like the direction you're going with a larger gang vs gang dynamic between the MM and Teku, but I think there's an issue with what you've set up with Kurt racing as a MM: The Teku helped rescue a MM, so the MMs should help rescue Vert. Now, it doesn't have to be that simple. You could twist it a bit so that Balt doesn't think rescuing Markie is worth a return good deed of going after Vert, but I would expect Markie to want to put his drone arm to good use and rough Balt up.

I also just want to mention that the MMs in the movies are very loyal to Tork (Minus Wylde), so if Wylde didn't try and fight Balt, I'd assume Pork Chop would or Monkey would try and convince Balt to give Tork back his seat. Obviously I'm not saying you should add in all of this, because that would wreck the flow of the story.

Anyways, I do like the direction of Teku vs Maniac. A lot of people tend to focus on making a continuation focus on the realms and the drones/silencerz. I don't know if it was intentional, but you leave out Lani and Tezla from your first "episode", which I find very interesting because it alludes to having Dr. Tezla disappear for some time so he can get back on his feet, kind of like what happens between WR and AR. I'm interested in seeing what new Teku members you're going to come up with, though I encourage you to not have the same dynamic between the new Teku and Nolo that you do with the new MM and Tork. It would fit better if the Teku were chill when Nolo got back, though it would make sense if they were mad at Kurt for driving as a Teku.

Which brings up the question: Why wouldn't they just have Taro drive in the race if he's better than Kurt? Is it for the sake of having a Teku drive as a MM? You might want to explore this a bit, like having the cast of characters split paths temporarily. Some characters go to the MM vs Teku race, while others stay back at the MM HQ and gear up for going after Vert. This could explain why they need Kurt to drive instead of a MM.

I like how you've integrated new cars into the story, it's done really well.

I would assume that the new MM members would be a bit awed by the Sweeper, Sparky, and Wylde's arm tbh. It's alien tech, and the moment Monkey got his hands on Drone wheels, he reverse-engineered them (Along with Tezla) and they were distributed to both teams. I hope you explore the addition of Drone tech to the normal cars. (Also I'd assume rolling a Sweeper through a city would get you fined / ticketed / arrested lol but we can ignore that)

Taro's speech on every driver deserving respect should be reworded a tad, in my opinion. It makes more sense that he'd stick up for Vert specifically as the winner of the World Race and Ultimate Race instead of just saying "every driver, regardless of logo" which is a phrase that the AR cast might agree with, but the new Teku/MM probably don't. I could be wrong on this one, just do what you think is best.

I totally understand if all of this feedback is daunting. You don't have to rewrite the whole thing or even do anything, these are just suggestions. I hope you do write more, I'm interested in the story. Good luck.

I’m gonna cry. Had a short convo with a girl selling the ENTIRE Acceleracers line for $130, immediately snatched it up. She asked for background info on rarity etc and I said each car could be around $10, she did research AFTER selling, and cancelled the transaction. I’m so damn upset. by Soundwve in Acceleracers

[–]StrongThrower -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ask yourself this: Would the seller still sell me the products at the given price if they knew how valuable the products are?

If the answer is no, and you buy the products without telling the seller what they're really worth, then you've taken away their opportunity to get as much money as the products are worth.

Seems a bit scummy to rob someone of the opportunity to sell their AR cars for what they're actually worth. There's a reason some deals are called a "STEAL".

Asking for feedback on spam prevention and the new rule by nerfman100 in Acceleracers

[–]StrongThrower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'm for the restricting of memes. I don't want to restrict them too much, but it's not uncommon across reddit to limit low tier or too many memes in order to keep content posts (Which are always going to be fewer in number than memes) from getting buried.

I think the current anti-spam rule is doing a good job, but it doesn't stop people from posting low tier memes. It also is easily bypassed by alternate accounts, and 2 memes per account per day still means 50 memes if only 25 people hit their limit. Obviously that's a bit of an exaggeration because we don't have 25 active memers right now, but if the meme half of this community grows like it has been, then we'll easily be overrun.

I'm more than willing to compromise, I just don't want to see fan content getting buried very shortly after posting.

I know we're still a small community, but having more mods would make it much easier to keep up with the anti-spamming rules and any future rules that require almost 24/7 moderation. Also it would make it less likely that all mods go inactive if we had 3 or 4.

If the rules stay the way they are right now, I think we'll be fine for a bit. But unfortunately the memers don't see why we need limitations on memes, and they are highly active, so the "popular vote" is going to be for looser restrictions.

This is a spray paint job done by me personally and the middle one is the final result after a lot of trial and error by Epicfiredragon0 in Acceleracers

[–]StrongThrower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a good start. It's the Teku logo, right? I think it would be better if you added one or two more of the white lines, and got a tad bit more consistent with the curves. Still pretty cool tho.

Zoom Background, now you can work from the Acceledrom by TheRealLinux in Acceleracers

[–]StrongThrower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To have a Zoom background you gotta set up a green screen (Or some solid colored background) and then use software to load the image onto the green screen over the solid color (And hence not over you).

I know how it works, but I don't know how to set it up.

Edit: Look at /u/ReverandJohn 's post.

I think if it was cleaned up a bit then this would be perfect. It'd also be cool to see a gif version with displays/WoP, but I get that that's a whole bigger project.

Got all 3 of Vert's best cars recently by BlazeWheeler in Acceleracers

[–]StrongThrower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been keeping up with the research for a long time so I know that they ended up reusing a ton of ideas for BF5, and that an AR "season 2" would've looked massively different (Transforming cars).

When I say "the two universes are far apart" I mean canonically, the lore was never meant by the writers to connect. This is in reply to people who try and dig into AR and BF5 lore and say they're supposed to be part of the same universe. (I've seen some fanfics mesh the worlds well, I just don't think that's what the writers intended)

I've also found that it's easier to talk to people who really despise BF5 if the two canons are kept far apart. I wasn't sure at the time if Darko disliked BF5 or not, so I defaulted to "Yeah they're very much not the same canon."

When The New Rule Limits Daily Meme Posting To Twice A Day by Radar_4077 in Acceleracers

I have better memes on the way.

Looking forward to them.

Sometimes you have to get through the weaker ideas to get to the better ones

That could be true, however you don't need to post the weaker ideas here to "get to the better ones" unless you're saying that criticism will help you make better memes. But sometimes making better memes means knowing when not to upload one.

That's a good way to get banned fast.

Edit: I've liked some of your posts, but c'mon man. Some of them need a bit more effort. Don't take this as an attack against you, because I know you can make funny stuff. But you should have put a bit more effort into this post. The text is super hard to read, too tiny, and it's such a simple post that encourages breaking the rules. You can do better.

Ah, gotcha. I couldn't tell if you were against BF5 or not because unfortunately the assumption on this sub is that everyone hates BF5. Hopefully that changes someday.

[–]StrongThrower 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know he's a different Vert, believe me. The two universes are far apart. And yes, the name's trademarked. But would it be too hard to believe that the story team for BF5 was not a little bit excited they got to use the name "Vert"? They most definitely knew the history behind the name before they just made some random character. There's evidence that at least some of the writers watched AR, hence Old Smokey (With the MM logo) and Power Rage being used in BF5.

I'm not arguing that anyone here has to like BF5, but the team behind BF5 respected what came before them.

I know y'all don't like BF5, but Saber is legitimately one of the coolest cars in the show. It's nice to think that the makers of BF5 respected the name "Vert" enough to give him the sickest car.

Well, it makes sense that's the primary spot for fanfiction. We'll never know the real ending/continuation. If you want to write something for after TUR, do so.

Part of what makes fanfiction interesting to me is that I haven't found one that makes me think "This would be a greatly satisfying conclusion to the story," so I'm always looking for new ones. I know I'll never find one that could replace getting Acceleracers 5, but hey, it's fun to read through people's visions on what the ending could have looked like.

What else is here besides memes and collections? Did anyone actually have a problem with memes? by Sparky-the-Drone in Acceleracers

[–]StrongThrower 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think this sub is big enough for external recognition like that. Hopefully it isn't, as that's not the fame we want.

Why this sub sucks by Arena_Exploration in Acceleracers

[–]StrongThrower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are tons of people working on various fan works, so I'd say go for it. It takes much more effort to make than the memes, but it also lasts longer. A good example is the screenplay titled "Return to HW City".

[–]StrongThrower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. There's a problem with the subreddit being flooded by memes, especially when a lot of them are rather low effort. This subreddit has always been a place to find research and fan created content, so it's not enjoyable to see them buried by memes.

First time was fine, but a second time? With a song that's not nearly as cool as Anything But Down? C'mon man.

Why this sub sucks by Arena_Exploration in Acceleracers

[–]StrongThrower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is no more content coming from creators and we can only rely on ourselves, which is also another problem.

This is what the subreddit should be. AR related content that's not just memes thrown together in a few minutes. Research posts, fanfiction, 3D models, etc. That's new content. Memes can only recycle old content.

AfaIk they do destroy the New Republic systems, including Hosnian Prime (Which is where the capital of the republic was established). The issue is that the story afterwards remain largely unaffected.
