That's true. But whats to say Teth hasn't already captured and brainwashed someone or a group of people as powerful as some of us just in case? Or possibly because she's sonehow managed to infiltrate this base somehow and find out about our plans ahead of time?

@ZAVAZggg

It's best to address such problems when they happen then to worry excessively about their possible existence, as they are hard to learn about beforehand and it dips into paranoia a bit.

Not always. There is the element of chance. We are not bound to some predestined plan to save existence, at least as far as I can tell, there could be a good probability of us losing even with the best laid plan.

@ZAVAZggg

I used the phrase "ideal" because it is a theoretical level. Our goal is to approach that level as much as possible.

[Darlit Glitch]

<Snipped quote by Darlit Glitch>

It would probably have to be area-based. The Red Magic can work with vectors like location and velocity and may be able to make instantaneous movement prohibitively expensive. But I haven't learned that magic yet. It's a risk, but probably not that much of one.

@Efficacy

Would the spell or effect have to be supplied energy to function?
If so my strongest nul zones could likely do damage to it.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

How balanced do you intend each team to be?

@Source

Not overly. I trust our ability to work together. Still, some sense ought to be used when we build these teams.

*massages his left temple with two fingers and shakes his head slowly*
My apologies. My obsession with plotting out every detail comes from my days fighting my Father, who knows everything I'll do before I actually do it. It has made me, as you yourself said, extremely paranoid.

@Disdain

If stealth is the goal, keep those groups smaller. If the goal is to crush the opponent with force, send the defense out first, then the heaviest hitters, then support.

@Darlit Glitch

The best Realmatic transformations require little energy to be supplied, because they make their effect into something natural by changing the laws of that portion of reality. I'm not saying how possible it is—just answering questions as best as I can.

@ZAVAZggg

Ahhh, yea. People like that can be a pain to deal with.
If it's some kind of clairvoyance, try to find a way to mess with it.
If it's just really good personality reading, try doing something out of character.

@Efficacy

...that makes it significantly harder to mess with, though if that's the case then maybe throwing the opposite effect will cause it to give you the desired effect?

@Source

*sighs slightly before speaking*
Both have advantages and flaws. If we use stealth, getting in might be easier, but getting out might not be. If we use force, then getting in would be...difficult but not impossible. Getting out could be easier if we eliminate all of our foes to begin with before accessing the server.

@Source

Once they figure out that we're attacking, they'll all be on their guard. With three teams, we can attack three points at once without losing the element of surprise. If we try full force on one point at a time, they may gather at the points we are heading toward, and will have the advantage of teleportation while we have to get there on our own. Can we bring the full bore of twelve fighters down on our opponents effectively?

@ZAVAZggg

If the goal is to simply destroy the server, we can avoid any subtlety at all. If we require information, then the objective is to be subtle until we access it.

@ZAVAZggg

Then maybe we use stealth for the initial entry, and then use force as soon as stealth isn't an option? It would be like infiltrating the enemy base and taking it over from the inside out.
Given our objectives, that sounds like a good option.

*laughs sarcastically and turns to Nix*
It's neither. It's straight up Omniscience.

*turns to face the room*
For all those still wondering, I am a fallen angel and God is my Father. Just thought I'd clear that up so we're all on the same page.

@Darlit Glitch

Heh, I've got no idea. Scribes do so much research on this; they're always coming up with new and confusing ways to do things. Maybe it would be best to set up one strong portal at the very beginning and defend it.

Ouch, that one's a no go unless you can fall outside of their range.

@Source

No information is required; we only have to be careful not to significantly damage the city or the access points.

That might be a better option. Although we could attempt a distraction tactic, but that's risky. How about tunnelling? Can we go underneath the city and access the server that way?

@Efficacy

Then is it possible to temporarily seal such a portal to make it look like it's already been closed off instead of just waiting on standby?
