Then the panty drop... well maybe not the panty drop...

One word has carried us through these perilous times....

Since we've been bugging the Dev's at OOO about so many things already.
Lets add 1 more crazy request to the list

Please post your ideas on how we can incorporate "Downrocketing" into the game itself ^_^.

Big Ups To:
xStaticDonut and Glowshadow for their solid contributions

Big Downs to:
Everyone else (including myself) for including nothing bit hilarious jibberish

Super Big Downs to:
I don't want to mention names cause I might get this post deleted: for hating on downrocketing ^_^.

HUZZAAAAHHH

'you are now Downrocketing

'you are now Downrocketing into the clockworks' whenever you first enter the depth or instead of the arrow saying descend.. let it say 'Downrocket' and then a little thing comes up and says "Downrocketing" to depth x (whatever depth)

I suspect downrocketing will be in our vocabulary forever one way or another.

I wish HWFO (hand waving freakoutery) had caught on here, there's an awful lot of it that goes on whenever a patch or any sort of update comes through, although not as much the past day or two, I guess you could say HWFO is downrocketing...

No, the HWFO is skyrocketing, it's the time to learn what the acronym means that is downrocketing, what with all the time being spent HWing and FOing.

I'm not a stickler for details... but I believe the opposite of downrocketing should be uprocketing. However, everyone else seems to be using sky rocketing...
just a thought...

"Groundplummeting" makes me imagine a Knight climbing out of a Knight-shaped cartoony hole in the dirt.

Downrocketing & Devilites

Hmmm. How to incorporate "downrocketing" into the actual game...?
If it were me, I'd do it by adding another speech bubble to the Devilite Pit Bosses' dialog. (Y'know, when they walk up to another Devilite, and give them a "promotion" via a short snip of dialog?) Something along the lines of:

"Our share prices are downrocketing! I'm going to need you to pick up the slack on this one... You're okay with working overtime, right?"

>:D

If you type Downrocketing in a vanaduke boss fight- Vanaduke receives a 6th stage.
He gets into a rocket and downs you.

It must be done.

There are a couple ways I think this could happen:
1. Epic April Fool's joke. For one day, Spiral HQ changes all in-game instances of the word "Descend" to "Downrocket".
2. The word is used in the recon module for the next boss to be added. Something like "When we downrocketed to Cradle..."

"I can't afford that [item]. Can you downrocket the price about 250 crowns for me?"
"If I did that, the profit of selling this [item] will downrocket as well. I need a lot of profit so my crowns balance skyrockets."
"Forget about your profit! In order to fix this economy we've gotta make sacrifices so the game levelrockets!"
