Of course, especially on big collabs. At least with a little planning in the OOC we can keep everyone in the loop with collab rotations so we have an idea where others are planning their scenes out.

@DearTrickster

Indeed. *rattles OoC cage hard!!!!* Come out, come out wherever you are peeps!!

Well if you want we can split it up if you really do insist on it. I know we discussed it in the pad but everyone was rearing to go and post it.

I'd rather not have to modify it there's more than enough opportunity for characters inside the truck to carry on since most of this is happening outside the truck.

@DearTrickster

Nay, I think we should just keep it in mind for the future really is all. Currently with collabs that likely set in the past, before the truck, they are likely to be large anyways and isolated since we're all geared to go. So I don't see any issues yet with it.

Mass Effect: Borealis

I can't wait to read everyone's collabs. Though I agree with @Fallenreaper about pacing out these collab postings. Just to catch our breath for a couple days before the next one.

@DearTrickster

I was referring more to length of the collabs (the last one could've been divided into 2 posts really for easier reading) I think than actually when to post. Some of these scenes are rather lengthy walls of texts, and while some people don't mind reading them... others might have trouble with it. It also covers a lot of time between them and prevents others from getting involved or even writing their replies to them. So I wasn't addressing time between them as much as how much was posted up at once with my last statement. :p

@Fallenreaper While that's true, the difference between a mage and someone with a Glock 17c is that the mage probably has to wait on preps/cooldowns between their spells, but the person with the Glock can fire their gun for seventeen posts in a row if they only fire one round per post. No cooldown, no wait, no preps.

That's what I mean by no drawbacks. My character can't punch you in the face with lightning for seventeen posts in a row, but someone with a pistol and an extended mag can spend every post slinging lead if they want, and the pistol's like to do way more damage at a much greater distance. That's where the disparity comes in (for mild powers).

That's also why I like magitech/future-tech weapons for mild powers. You can have a laser gun that is reasonably balanced, or a spell-gun ala Outlaw Star. You still get the same aesthetic, but none of the issues.

@Darth

I don't know, depends on how you do the character. My PC Trixi can pulse electricity through her hand continually, but it does need to build up and at the level I have her, will only reach so much amps (basically taser amp). However, she could keep it up indefinitely until she was ko-ed or killed since her biology is designed to both generator it in massive amount (it's only how much she can churn out and only in her hands that's limited, not the amount total) and prevent her muscles, tissues, etc from frying while allowing the energy to pulse through it. Granted, there's additional limits to it and such I've not mentioned but that's one example I can think of to put against that. Granted it's not a great one.

@Darth

I sort of disagree with the drawback a bit, depending on how realistically you play it. Jacer uses ammo amounts which means he has to be careful how many times he fires or he runs out of fire power. Not everyone does that really and so you get 'unlimited' ammo scenarios. Sadly that is only one drawback I can think of and one usually ignored, but it should still count as most mages, metahumans, etc don't have x amount shots they are able to use before the gun becomes nothing more than a decoration.

@Fallenreaper Why. Sups with Mutton Chops might actually be pretty cool. Not for cannon, but still cool.

@VATROU

This is you, VAT... Anything you think is cool might be because of some subtle and hidden perverseness. I'm able to sync with your brain's wave link all too easily and part of that is scary as it is.

Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG (Closed)

@FacePunch Unrelated. I totally thought Superman had mutton chops due to the shading of that picture.

@VATROU

Now you're going to scare @FacePunch into changing his sig again! XD

@LeeRoy

That's why I made my statement. Honestly I've heard and seen people survive some fucked up shit, but at the same time they can die from the most oddest of things. In my opinion, I don't think realism really matters much in writing because fun should be the focus of every fight. Not realism. I mean if you look back on history, most shootouts weren't as surreal or amazing as some I've seen written in the arena or in a paperback novel you find on a dime store bookshelf. That's part of why I developed Jacer (bullets casting spells and bruising damage rather than heavy damage) like I did was because I didn't want the player I was fighting thinking every time I shot and hit them, the fight was over. In some instances it's much easier with melee than bullets because of the mentality we have in RL over them. At least that's what I think.

I'll get a reply up after @Rtron gets Althalus' up, or by Saturday latest.

Arena Chat Thread

@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!

@Dazsos

Only in your dreams, big boy. :p *points to least post statement* That's my answer to this. XD
