Now that the baby is asleep there are only a few things which I feel like addressing after reading over the snippet of OOC banter at the top of Tez's last post. [list] [*] I have said very openly that I am by no means an experienced Roleplay Fighter or Roleplayer in general. Though I have been at this for around 10 years total there was probably a good 7 year stretch of just nothing Roleplay or creative writing related. So the jabs you make at my writing style are pointless because in my mind; I am a beginner. [*] Dread Energy does have weaknesses; it's simply that Tez was unable to produce anything able to exploit those weaknesses. Take for instance a power that was heavily aligned with the 'Good' Spectrum of elements, perhaps a 'Holy' power, such a power will (and [b]HAS[/B] in the past) deal an increased amount of damage against Xavier. [*] I was confident in my characters ability to deal with yours; but I never felt as though it was just going to be a done deal. You don't think I [b]know[/b] that I was backed into a literal corner? I was still fighting back and enjoying the challenge; you simply didn't like that I wasn't going down as fast as you would have liked. You had the chance to read my sheet before accepting my offer to fight you but instead you accepted it blindly and wound up going against an anti-grappling tank of an opponent. One which you were maintaining the upper hand on up until you decided to 'Turn you back' on the fight. What you just said there is that you quit the fight because you were becoming agitated with how it was turning out. You admitted that yourself. [*] Even still; I allowed you to manipulate the descriptions of [b]MY[/b] powers to better suit yourself because you came in unprepared. I allowed you to destroy my metal with an energy that should have been outright rejected by the metals composition; just so the fight would continue. When I still found a way around your attempt to force a death on me; You suddenly wanted to be able to destroy Dread Energy itself and not just Dread Metal because now Dread Energy was in your face. Even still I allowed this to happen; stating that Xavier would maintain 1/4 of his energy supply after your energy destroyed the vast majority of it; simply because Dread Energy resists destructive energies. All of a sudden you wanted El Rey to hold onto his energy supply too; even though you yourself already said that the energy practically disappears from reality entirely after its been used. So that one action in itself would constitue a retroaction. I changed so much for you so that you would have an equal chance to fight Xavier; and yet I show a borderline child-like refusal to stand on equal grounds as my opponent? Please; see a proctologist. Your head should [b][i]NOT[/i][/b] be this far up your ass. [*]For the most part; the rest of your post seems to come from twisted point of view that you had of things. I never demanded that my power poison yours. Yes; if it was pure Chaos Energy I was going to devour you as Xaviers energy has already done to a Chaos God. But as it stands; it was not Chaos Energy and my post was simply asking you whether it was or was not. I even told you that it was fine that it [i]wasn't[/i] Chaos Energy and that I didn't want you to feel like I was trying to take your character over with just an alignment to Chaos. [*] I was fine keeping this was a wrestling match like you had originally intended; but then you started to feel overwhelmed by all the different steps I could take to make sure I wasn't put into a shitty position and you decided to try and bust out your Ether infused moves and turn it into a power battle. [*]You are just unbelievable really... I expected so much more from a supposed seasoned fighter. You can't admit that you gave up on the fight, [b][i]whatever the reason for that may be[/i][/b], and then come back to claim some high and mighty victory like this. A man of "honor" would have handled himself so much better than you have. Simply posting the IC bit itself would have been acceptable; but no. You had to decide to try and spew lies and slander instead of leaving with your head held high. [*] The friendliness which I extended to you was by no means a charade. I had high hopes that we would come out of this as 'battle buddies' so to speak. You exhuded calmness and so it was returned to you; I was enjoying the fight very much until you decided that it was becoming unfair towards you. I was bending over backwards in ways you probably wouldn't see anywhere else because I wanted to make a good match for everyone; and then it was [b]YOU[/b] that decided to act like a child and walk away because it was making you upset. [*] I will be putting this down as win for myself simply because you failed to post or reply to me at all. How you want to catalog this fight is ultimately up to you; but know that everyone here can see through you. I am hurt only by the fact that I had the chance of a good battle ripped away from me once again. Even if this fight had ended fairly with Xavier dying; I would have accepted that. If I had disappeared for a month and came back to see a death post; you can bet your ass I would have accepted that too. [/list] Shit that was supposed to be a few >.> Oh well. I kind of addressed the whole thing then. As now, unless someone wants to have a calm discussion instead of throwing more shit against the walls, I will bid this thread goodbye.
