Oh, wouldn't it be sweet if instead of being turn based, each player in GunBound had an ATB for their delay, so the game is always active, played in realtime, instead of being slow like it is now? I would like to see that.

I voted no, cuz i like GB the way it is right now and don't know what ATB is Razz well i basically figured it out, but i think its better this way.

bad idea... there are a lot of unwanted things like screwing up one's shot, and basically whoever shoots faster have a higher chance at winning...

It's a biology term, "Adenosine Tri-Bosphate."
In your body, the bonds are broken in the ATB molecules releasing energy.

Alot of people in the GB scene wanted to add ATB to the game so you can randomly get a boost of energy during the game. To spice up the gameplay and add some variety I guess.

Nonono, that would suck. Gunbound is already getting boring what with assholes playing too good against hammers like me, so that would just make it more stupid.

Actually, I beleive ATB means a type of RPG battling;

You know FFX, that WASN'T ATB.

You know FF9, FF8 (in fact, just about every single one except X and tactics) those are ATB-based.

Shh! GreenTiger it was funnier before. I like that... "Adenosine Tri-Bosphate"... hehehe. That could actually almost make biology interesting.

Yeah, true...but still...ppls were voting AGAINST ATB...something I cannot abide. At least if they vote against it, they should fully understand what it is.
