[quote=rusty4297] Stry, keep in mind those were character thoughts and actions, even if Mason is actually being an asshole... Also, think, maybe Dash's character doesn't like the ranking system, or upon death doesn't give it any credit seeing as the ones who gave that rank are either in heaven/on earth and thus, nowhere nearby, or they're in Hell like you, and thus their judgement could be quite poor... As for Mason seeing more... I believe that he's seen more than Seth... But I WON'T believe that he's better... Natural talent can far exceed a bit more experience... And so, in my mind, everyone's equal save those specifically meant to be OP, such as the daughter or satan (I will admit, the sword makes him stronger if he uses it, but in a one-on-one fight between Seth and Mason, without enhanced anything, I'd leave it up to pure RPing to decide the winner, not rank) [/quote] You just always have to drab the OP card in somehow. You think experience doesn't outweigh anything? You obviously haven't see a drill sergeant then. I'm say what sense would it be for his character to hate a ranking systems that HE thought was okay enough to join the service? I'm not saying rank instantly decided the winner am I? I said that it should matter for Dash's character, it only makes sense. Also, you've constantly been up my ass about the OP thing, I haven't even begun to do anything that would set off a signal like that. I'd leave the fight up to RPing too. So far there haven't been any in fights besides verbal. I strongly doubt Seth would win just by putting all of the training he's had in comparison to the training Mason has had.
