I am mentally unfit to deal with this right now. It's about 11:00 P.M. Over here, and as I've said before, I get contradictory and dumb as F*** when that rolls into town. I'm already spouting obscenities like an idiot, so it's best if I rest too. Hopefully come morning, after I have had time to take a shower and reflect on my stupidity today, I'll be able to mentally handle this. Unraveller for unofficial Co-GM.

I guess the idea of a building collapsing sound wave generator that fits in the palm of your hand, well, is your hand should have been taken under a microscope for sheer destructive capabilities.

@Unraveller

That's why I was expecting them to look more like this.

Big flipping Gorilla Arms

If the thing's a prototype, then why can such power be loaded into such a teeny thing?

Fourth Dimension

Exactly Ragna. The new version (Or old, should I say) would probably be a more 'focused' version, one that has to be actually targeted. So, you can't just say "Auto-target world" you would have to aim your hand at what your're shooting at. The biggest problem we're going to have with these monsters is their movement. Weapons that can hit everywhere at once, instantly defeats them, as it would never miss. That's boring, so we'll say for the sake of the RP that that type of technology is so powerful, it might end up destroying themselves due to the shear impossibility of the universe's physics. BTW, how do I add a little ribbon to all your posts to say Co-GM?

@Teknonick

You imagine it from within a box, and it magically appears. And, if we did keep said gauntlets at the same power, that would mean we'd need to up the difficulty of the beasts, making it so that the normal people have no chance against them. When you add OP weapons, the monsters need to be more powerful. When the monsters are more powerful, people without OP weapons are screwed on the spot. You must take into account that there are people who will not be using your weapon. So you need to make it more balanced so that the beasts need not be impossible for them to kill. Okay. 1. This can still be used to kill other people, and like I said, if someone takes it, everyone's dead. 2. You did not explain it in this detail earlier. I assumed organic matter wouldn't be as severely effected as buildings. Because if it can take down buildings and organic matter the same way, nothing stands a chance against it. 3. You can just shoot literally everywhere while backed up against a wall, and because their jump points are completely random, eventually you would get them.

Last resort we reset and make RPing a competition. "We will only accept FIVE RPers! Each one will make ONE character app to prove they get a spot. Those who get in, get to make more characters. After the RP has started, and if people leave, we will allow more to join in and replace." or something like that. I don't want to go down that path... but we might have to if we can't clean this up.

@Teknonick

Does that, or doesn't that include us? Alright, operation C.L.E.A.N.U.P. is underway then.

@RawrgnatheBloodfridge

It includes ya'll and myself. Me, 1. You, 2. Unraveller, 3. I know the three of us get our spots instantly, no doubt about it. Everyone else would be thrown into a pit and forced to fight!

Man, I'm really hoping this RP won't go downhill, I have to much interest in the concept.

@Unraveller

I'm so glad you're still interested! Yeah, by the way, this is 100% unusual. The other time this happened to an RP I had, I wasn't around for a full week... with 10x more posts, and 10x less people. The RP died horribly, and I never knew what happened while I was gone. I hope eventually everyone will become casually normal, with very slight weird things happening. Possibly the gauntlets get destroyed, but a weaker prototype version of them are found, and will become replacements. The twins get thrown in jail, or have their arms chopped off. Things will calm down, hopefully soon. I hope we can salvage this RP, rather than demolish it and start over. But, I will start over if that is what it takes, which I don't think so at this point.

@Teknonick

well the gauntlets would not necessarily need to be destroyed as Rose would not use them on anything other then the 4D monsters expect for this instance where she used them on the other people but that was intended to stun as they where fare away and in another room the wave would have hat to travel a long distance and go though a wall witch is why she amped up the intensity Kristof only ended up in that state because he was fast enough to get closer to Rose while she was calibrating them because he took the brunt of it. That being said bare in mind while the focused in one direction it was not focused at one target or in a straight line it was focused in the general direction so it would hit everyone and the explanation of how strong the sound waves where was they would hear a high pitched noise that would sound just like nails on a chalkboard but much louder. Now i you have ever heard what nails on a chalkboard it is a horrible screeching but not all that loud amp up the volume you amp up the frequency as well but even though it was much louder because it started of as something as low level as nails on a chalkboard it would not be all that deadly unless you where very close to it. Even than it would not kill most people maybe some people who where more fragile like elderly or kids.

@PharaohAtem

The question is, what stops her from doing it again? her morality clearly didn't stop her from doing it once, so she'll likely do it again. It doesn't matter how sane the person is that wields it, because this just means that it will one-shot the monsters then, which is boring AF. It's way too OP on a PvP perspective, and it's still OP in a PvC encounter. A weaker version is absolutely required when this encounter is done with. What if a mentally unstable person just takes it? Everyone's dead then. It's much too OP.

@Teknonick

Does that, or doesn't that include us? Alright, operation C.L.E.A.N.U.P. is underway then. That could be a bad idea. It would just mean throw up as many ten paragraph bios of the same character with minor differences until you get in. "Aw man, Ryu didn't get in. Maybe if I make Ryu with flaming eyes, and add an extra paragraph to the bio, I'll get in." Another thing, (I've been doing this a lot for some reason.) We have too many characters that are not japanese. But, wait a second, why is this a problem? Well, if you look at the statistics, only 3% of Japan is not Japanese. That's mostly because they're the most xeno-phobic people alive, but that's roughly the statistics. If over half of our characters are clearly Americans, (no one in Japan names their child something from another nationality, as it would be considered dis-honorable. Sure, idols are allowed to do this, because it isn't their actual name.) sure this may be nit-picking, but even the tiniest amount of research into japan should tell you this. Anime's are some of the worst representations of Japan, ever, so they don't count as research.

@Unraveller

So long as me and Tek still stand, the RP will be level-headed. I didn't make two brand new characters and plan out arcs for them for nothing. by the way, if anyone thinks that "oh man this guy hates me" I really don't. I really, really, don't. In fact, I find you all fairly enjoyable to talk to. My only problem is the potential that's wasted with the insanity going on. There's such a thing as pacing. The pacing went way too fast, and that resulted in the cluster**** that's going on right now. That's why earlier I said I needed to think, because that's about how fast we were moving. I almost never say that. I'll chalk it up to the anxiety to get straight into the action, but build-up makes that action worth it.

Fourth Dimension

I think it's entirely possible that this was in fact mistaken for an arena now that I look at it. I used to spend time in arena's and essentially what you do is make 10 characters, make them all almost direct copies of each other. That way if one dies, you still have 9 copies of that same character to fight other people with. Then it becomes a competition of who can make the most characters. Unraveller, the character that shot yours wasn't exactly a normal person. therefore, their sense of a traumatic experience may be incredibly different from your character's. If an insane person did that, I'm pretty sure they would have started laughing while they were running away.

Fourth Dimension

So essentially, Kristof being good, is a bad thing because he's not strong enough, nor does he understand his limits? Was that the lesson he's supposed to learn, or was it not to trust people in cloaks and huntress'? Tek, you forgot about Bloodthirsty psychopaths being used to make incredibly boring and one-dimensional characters.

Fourth Dimension

With Flemeth, I'd say yes if she had some sense of morality. If your parents abused you, and they killed people, generally their offspring tends to be more stable than them as they realize "my parents were crazy, I'll never be like them." I like using rage to amplify powers, but this could just be another PK machine. I'm 50/50 on it.

Fourth Dimension

Is unraveller, like, done with the RP? He already killed off his own character. That only really goes to show that the sound cannon is also OP if it could kill literally the strongest guy with a single kick.

@RawrgnatheBloodfridge

I think it will take a bit more in order to kill Kristof, but he certainly isn't in good shape. Imagine such a focused sound wave, sound is more or less vibrations, and at that magnitude from someone who doesn't even know how to use the equipment. I'd say it might have killed someone with less constitution. I wanted to use it as more of an idea of the consequences of such an action. And as much as I love Kristof I have to come to terms that he is a mortal human being. And death comes to us all.

@Unraveller

Alright, yes, but the thing is, if this weapon is really that strong, anyone can go around PKing because they're bored. Kind of like with those twins. Abuse them, and the only thing that will happen are PKs and annoyed people.
