Too many words to read. x.x


I wouldn't read them Khan, some of them are sort of mean.

So, Charades?
Cheers, always have trouble with those s and c words. I also have trouble with recourse and resource. Almost led to a diastrous essay on human resources once.

This.

It really is a power I would have either outright had dropped, or had to have specific instances(as I outlined above). It has the power that is generally outlawed(changing the past, also time weaving, imo) but Skallagrim accepted it. However, the issue now is what does it effect?


Well, I think Skallagrim accepted it under the pretense of it being limited in what it could affect to straight up attacks made of magic, which are only one type of magic and wouldn't inherently screw everyone over. The power is only as OP as it is because it's matched with a super-speed character with the metal equivalent of lightsabers. His character can move his arms so fast he's basically got a simple answer to all forms of attack. He could of literally ran circles around Metz and cut him to pieces, which is why I found the fact that he walked into Metz circle hilarious, because it was his only real chance of defeating him and it was such a longshot that I went into the fight resigned to having no real chance.

I mean really, this match-up is practically Sigurd vs Necroloth (probably spelled wrong) all over again. Except rather than having multiple arms Khazna just moves the ones he has really fast, and makes extra swords appear out of magical robots.

Also the more general that power is the more overpowered it is, ultimately.

I'm still up for charades.
@MelonHead

Well if we delay our match till next season, maybe we can secure the first W/L/T for said season, hmmm?

@ShidenBlades

You're making me feel very popular. I'll accept your challenge, and up a few character sheets within the day.

Right now I need to go and exercise my free health care, though, so I'll be back later.


Yeah can do.

Mmm free health care, gotta love it.
@MelonHead I have no preference. Feel free to set up whatever you'd like.


That might have been the critical mistake.

Muhahahahahahaahahaha

That is actually my understanding of T1. You only lose the prep you are working on, so if Kei'taro was currently prepping Thunderbird, he'd lose the third prep, but each subsequent hit, imo, wouldn't take away the second and first. And if he'd stop charging Thunderbird before the hit, it would be safe from losing a prep from being hit, but whatever else he was prepping in the post just before getting hit wouldn't be.

Question, how many preps did the circle have vs how many the time-weaving(which is actually a name for one of the many no-nos in combat RP) sword has?


Well, in that hypothetical it wouldn't have any, where-as the circle would have one prep I suppose, which is one of the reasons I felt short-changed by what happened originally, because without any prior mention of the circle at all the sword had de-activated it.

I think the idea of losing preps does make sense, it gives the advantage to the attacker essentially and allows physical characters without access to those new-fangled magics to otherwise avoid their opponent charging up and blasting them to pieces. Prepping magic in general isn't necessarily all that well explained in T1 though. It makes sense in the example they give, but that doesn't translate very well to all issues. It's like when a maths book uses the easiest damn calculation for the example and then the questions are like ten times harder.
I did.


Oh well, more delicious, delicious points for you.
@MelonHead Feel free to challenge me, if you'd like to gamble on some more ego points to secure your throne.


That depends on if you're planning to use a floaty man.

The rankings are a little pointless now, we're resetting soon apparently, though I suppose our personal records will remain which is nice, because mine makes me look like a badass. Then again two of my wins come from my opponents fleeing (@Rilla) and who could blame them.
Huh, I could have sworn I saw Dynamo doing something in Arena recently, maybe you should send him a reminder, he might have just forgot or something.
