[quote=@yoshua171] [@GreivousKhan] that is quite flattering really. I like to consider myself as fairly skilled, but I retain a certain level of humblenes so I make a point of not comparing myself to any of the people who have been in the arena for quite a long while (Skallagrim, Rilla, yourself, MelonHead), though I feel I'm probably somewhere around a similar skill level. It's nice to know that my writing is appreciated by the way. I've quite enjoyed the inner monologue an narration of this battle, your posts and mine. Though I do have less of that narration since Raelis is a warrior and a soldier so when in battle any superfluous thought is kinda thrown out the window. That or he doesn't want me to write it...which is weird. Yeah, my characters are kinda sentient in their own right xD This has been quite challenging since Tablurath's abilities do well to counter a fair amount of Raelis'. They probably have the same martial might, but your weapons are easily more powerful than Raelis' Blade of Rhay in terms of raw usefulness. It is nice that I got you as my second opponent because my first round battle was kinda grating...since my opponent didn't really seem to be taking much of anything seriously. His character also seemed a bit out matched by Raelis, not that he couldn't have won, I just feel he made some less than stellar decisions, you know? In regards to how [i]I[/i] personally play characters smarter than myself.... Depending on their level of perception I assume that unless they are dealing with someone of equal processing ability or they are dealing with something outside of their frame of experience, then they are likely going to see a great deal of things coming. On the other hand, I balance that out with them having certain emotions, like amusement or boredom with their interactions. Arkaeis Zraimat/Zume Tatasuko is my favorite in regards to this, but he's a high powered tier character. Also, nice theme choice. Fate/Zero FTW! OH YEAH AND MY POST IS UP xD If you have time/mental clarity to make a post it'd be great~ I'm free all day so if we get some more done we can at least enjoy this clash for a bit longer! [/quote] Oh man I know exactly what you mean about sentient characters. At times it feels like Tablurath does things even I have no idea have any meaning, then its only later I know what it meant. Maybe I'm crazy. o.o And woot a post! I'll try and build up a post today, Not sure if I'll have time tomorrow so I might risk a bit of rushing. [quote=@Skallagrim] I will be honest, you are both skilled. This will be a close judgement if it goes to the card. Actually both matches are going to be tight. [/quote] I'm Skilled!?!??!
