Nexus of Worlds- Final Round

<Snipped quote by MelonHead>

Well consider a prep is lost when you take damage, according to T1 he had have already lost that prepped ability from the hits and damage he has taken so far.

I suppose we can't wait for a judge to show up.

In the mean time we can play charades.

@GreivousKhan

One of the many issues with T1 is that it doesn't cover a pre-prepared attack, it must be frustrating for rune users and other magical trap users that the prep system makes very little sense to them in its current format. Metz obviously having prepared the circle earlier and placed it before he took any hits, therefore being hit would make absolutely no difference to his circle.

I'm guessing first if we play charades.

Skallagrim said 'The rock is natural and not magic. Magic manipulates a natural substance. Since cutting things magic or otherwise from existence can be abused. You by virtue of your explanation cannot cut a natural substance, only the magic that manipulates it. As such it falls under a targeted hit and all rules pertaining to it.'

In reality it would come down to where the magic is coming from, and the answer is the circle on the ground. Cutting the rock would have no effect on the magic because it's only active at the bottom of the pillar. Also, that circle is pretty much the definition of prepped, so to escape unharmed with an unprepared defence would be a little dubious.

There are a number of technicalities in this scenario which is why it would be best to have it judged, I don't want to interpret Skallagrim's words for him, and regardless of his personal situation at the moment which I completely understand is more important than this I still feel like he'd be a little irritated if we don't let him rule on what could be the most important moment in his entire tournament.

Found the character and read it over.

Sounds like a fun match. Depending on the setting I don't know how well the First Mate will do, but luckily I'm in it for the entertainment value.

Let's do this!

@ShidenBlades

Cool, do you have a preference on setting and would therefore like to set up the match thread or do you want me to do it?

Anyway not reading half the comments on here because they seem to be trying to start nonsense. I don't think I can even change my post without hearing from Skalla since Melon already posted a ruling.

Which puts us in a dangerous position of waiting for someone who differently has better things to think about than a childern's card game. Unless maybe Melon is fine with me editing my post.

@GreivousKhan

Unless you're going to change your post to Khazna gets crushed and impaled by the giant stone pillar it might be worth waiting for the ruling, as the way I see it the only way your character can survive walking into that circle was if his magic sword had already de-activated it. You're just going to post with your character somehow dodging the rock and that's going to make me sad and I'll ask for a ruling again because I'm trying to turn over a new leaf and arguing is rarely constructive in Arena.

As I remember your gif, fondly so. It's good to see you've laid waste to this half of the forums, congratulations.

Oh yes, tis' heartfelt for sure... In fact, I came back just because I missed being told I'm wrong, and the challenge of proving some other tit otherwise.

Come to think about it, I can look back on that fight with Tasuke and say I was in the wrong, at least with one of my moves. Though I could say the same about what I perceived she did... it's nothing but opinions vs opinions - the Internet.

@Dazsos

Words of wisdom there, I am trying my best to beat half of Arena, and the spinning gif remains eternal.

No worries.

If I recall I don't believe it will matter much, only a couple months left of the season. Right?

I had forgotten about it myself and was just looking through some of the older fights and saw it.

*Edit: On a side-note. I have free reign of the computer at work and can post fairly often if someone wants a match. It doesn't have to be ranked and it doesn't have to be quick either. I have the urge to use my character The First Mate, if only because the dialouge would be incredibly funny, especially if he fought a female.

@ShidenBlades

I'd be interested in an unranked fight, haven't been able to fight for fun in ages. Would Anna be a good match? Their back-stories would make a confrontation likely and their power sets are very similar which could lead to an interesting fight.

I'd weaken Anna to make it a fairer fight, make her less durable than usual so she can be killed by his sword after a few wounds that would be mortal to a human.

Me and another did this match a while ago.

Here

It has not been finished, though I am certainly well within my rights to do so. My opponent is a good friend of mine, so I know he isn't coming back.

If I simply finish it will it count towards my record at all?

@ShidenBlades

If you had a judge from the ranking and you were both part of ranked then yes, if not, then no.

Holy shit I remember that fight, that was ages ago.

I guess it would be up to Innue if they'd say there was enough of a conflict to rate it as a fight, it's up to the judge if they reward it as a ranked win when one person dissapears.

@GreivousKhan Is melon done with NoW?

@DJAtomika

Not yet, though I'm not overly busy anyway at the moment.

I didn't think we were waiting on me anyway?

Nexus of Worlds- Final Round

What in the fuck happened here?

To be fair you're right Khan, I do have trouble resolving things like this without arguing, but in any circumstance (and I think up until this point we were doing a pretty good job) I would just talk it out with you. However, this specific move is pretty much fundamental, because if it's ruled that your character can't dissipate the magic circle its effects are either going to badly wound your character or outright kill your character. There isn't really a middle ground for this attack. The flip side of course is that if the circle is destroyed, Metz is going to die, so it's essentially a situation where death or severe wounding and therefore the outcome of the entire match hangs on a single decision.

So surely you can kinda see why I'd want it judged.

Also, I have no idea why LeeRoy and Tuuj are here, I think it would be best if we just forget the last page happened.

Skallagrim is incredibly busy at the moment which is pretty unlucky, but this is the final round so I doubt it would matter if it drags on a bit, especially as I predict this could be the closing moments of the fight. If Skallagrim is too busy to make a ruling hopefully he'll have time to read what's going on and let Rilla or Innue or someone else make a ruling.

I'd recommend Vordak actually, he was a good judge in the sword-clash and seems pretty level-headed in general from what I've seen.
