Given the circumstances, I've admitted that Myron's shield has a weakness... however I've put certain cogs in to motion which fortify it's vulnerability. And I'm not willing to indulge on the specifics of its weakness due to trust issues. Can we get back to the matter at hand, Melon? I'm sure your scent glands are going haywire by now. If the prep system isn't based on 'time,' at all, which has been your argument from the get go... then I don't see how [b]time [/b]manipulation would not give a buff to something like cast [b]time[/b]? Aggrieve logic all you wish, it's the key and lock, you cannot convince me to abjure. No I didn't enter under the impression that T1 Eden was the appropriate rule set. It's just widely accepted, and many other forms similar to it exist. I've played the game long enough to understand it, and have followed generalized unspoken rules, which is why I'm not against having it. It's just imperfect, just like all of us. My analogy was horrible! I admitted to that right away. But it's not far from the truth... Sorry to somersault away at the most climatic and enjoyable arc of this debate, but this weekend is going to be extremely busy for me. I've got plans all the way up till the 19th, and Mon-Tues I'll likely be completely unavailable. Tomorrow and Sunday I can post at odd hours, hopefully this issue is resolved. Oh right, most important thing last. Synopsis time. I'm willing to make T1 Eden the default (it slightly was already); you guys can be the ones to figure out how time manipulation glitches the mechanics of your beloved rulebook.
