@FallenreaperHEY, HEY, HEY!

First up, I'm obviously the prettiest.

Secondly, I agree with everything else you said. I wasn't really arguing the absolute frailty of humans, I was just stating the obvious possibility of their sweet sweet demise. (And the fact they can't dodge bullets.) Feel free to step in and continue debating on my behalf, though! I mean that's how most arguments start, right? By asking angry people to stop arguing!

How can you argue that human durability is awesome by explaining how eight soldiers got killed with six to eight bullets, from a guy who was half dead? Kudos to the guy, but you just took a shit on the 8/9 other assholes; where was their 'human durability' they went down like redcoats in a stormstrooper suits.

It's really circumstantial. I mean yeah, you're absolutely right, it's possible to survive a gunshot, @LeeRoy. (Moreso than dodging a gun shot, which was my original argument that nobody touched.) But hey... dude, you fucking just got shot! That's not like a paper cut or anything, it's a metal bullet wriggling around in your fleshy ass. Sure you might survive, but that's a legitimate hit that could lose you the match in an RP. Just cause you can survive a gunshot... doesn't mean you will. A character who relies mainly on luck could be punted by any judge.

I think we've survived as a race because we breed so goddamn much.

I don't have to make a list of how many people don't survive... each country involved in either of the World Wars made their own, and it's bone-chilling, if you really think about it. Human prowess is something to be reckoned with, but there's no way you can deny the fact that speeding bullets kill people; I don't know what you're trying to argue here, this is only going to get me worked up about real life tragedies. Let's call it quits on this pointless debate, shall we?

EDIT: I wasn't really arguing, per-say, I was actually making a sarcastic jibe at your phrasing. If someone didn't die from a 'lethal blow' then it really wasn't lethal, now was it?

I'm pretty sure that if we were designed to survive lethal things, the word lethal wouldn't exist, and we wouldn't need to memorize all of the symbols for toxicity and eye irritation and whatnot.

I knew a guy who went blind because he rubbed his eyes after dealing with cat shit. Maybe we should be shooting cat shit at our enemies?

Uhhh, I sorta' digressed there. Guns just annoy me, and I really don't know why... I actually have a pirate character who uses them! But he's annoying and I like to kill him off in all of my D&D sessions.

Back to the topic! Yeah I'm available for a sword fight, let me look over Corban's profile to find a suitable candidate for him. Then when I have my own profile ready, I'll show you and see if you're fine with the balance.

I said no guns because I'm not bringing a gun to the fight. Guns are definitely on the high end of the easy spectrum for 'low tier'... it takes virtually no energy to pull a trigger, and the result is extremely lethal. But this is an issue of personal preference, nothing I'm shoving down your throats. I live in a modern era that I'm trying to escape, gunslinging fights are just so fast paced, I'd rather play a video game for that thrill.

Then there's the issue with logic. Sure bullets can be dodged, but we forget just how fast a character actually needs to be to dodge a bullet, and at that speed alone, then we're getting in to a tier where it doesn't matter what you argue... everything is cheap and easy, everyone is OP. Not many of my mid-tier characters can run at 1,500mph, which isn't even as fast as most bullets travel. The fastest human alive runs at what... 25mph? Dodging bullets isn't logical, we just want it to be so we can enjoy our gun battles.

Modern guns I don't like, just because I don't see fights being fun with them. Logically gunfights shouldn't last as long as they do in TV shows or any RP battle. It's a who-ever shoots first should win type of gig.

Magitech is fine, usually it has more requirements and whatnot, and usually takes more mind to work. The effects are more fantastic.

Guns are easy and cheap.

I'd normally limit myself to about 3 fights at once... Meaning I have 1 spot open to have at you.

Interested in a ranked bout? Any tier that doesn't include guns and future tech.
