Perdo Wastes - NMV

Ooh, spectacular. And Arty can stick to stuff like Spider-man, so it looks like we've got it made.

One can only hope. Lol.

I vote we walk up the outside of the tower and skip the internal defenses. ;)

Green said What kind of character are you working on?

Essentially, he's a high tier iron man ripoff in the purest sense of the term. A nerd with a supergenius intellect and technopathic powers that read comic books as a kid, and actually had the brains required to emulate his favorite hero, and even surpass him in some respects.

Well, I tried. There are half a dozen reasons that scenario could be taken for a win, and a perfectly valid explanation for Edmund's actions (note: valid is not the same as logical), but you clearly aren't interested in seeing any of those. In the interest of not dragging this out any further, I'm going to not drag it out any further.

*goes back to working on his new character*

No, the solution to being accused of metagaming is to stick to your character's established personality and mentality, which Green did.

Having an insane character suddenly start functioning as a sane individual would be no different than a sane character suddenly starting to function as an insane one with no IC trigger, both would be metagaming. For instance, if the Joker decided to turn over a new leaf and become a hero alongside Batman in the middle of a fight because he suddenly felt immense remorse for the atrocities he's committed, it would be metagaming. The same would be true for Batman joining the joker. Neither action is in character, and would therefore be illegal.

It wasn't metagaming. The detonation was clearly outlined as being a usable attack in his CS, and Edmund's mentality allows for exceedingly illogical actions without breaking character or utilizing OOC knowledge. Which Ysolda also knows now, giving her yet another exploitable advantage.

He has to make it back to his empire first. Does Ysolda have nothing in her arsenal capable of intercepting a fighter jet?

And even if he can get another one before you can catch him, Ysolda will know what she's up against next time. She can prepare and strategize, where before she was only reacting to the immediate threat. She knows what that thing is capable of now, and that gives her another tactical advantage.

It actually makes about as much sense as a psychotic mass-murderer drowning an ant-mound in their own blood, which is no sense at all, but that's the entire point of being crazy. The actions and choices of insane people don't make sense to sane people, that's just how it works. It's why they're called insane. Calling it illogical isn't an argument against it, it's just the statement of a fact. The stuff crazy people do will never make sense to people who aren't crazy.

But at the end of the day, this is just a roleplay. Nobody actually died, and you yourself said you had a way for Ysolda to survive so nobody has to die in the RP either. On top of that, you and LeeRoy got Green's character to destroy his most powerful asset, meaning he'll be easier to beat until he gets a new one. His detonation of that mech gave you two an exploitable advantage, and all you can do is continuously point out how illogical the actions of an insane character are.

If you can't let it go, then at least take the win, survive to fight again, and stomp him when he comes back with an intermediate-tier mech.

I did say stone, didn't I? Not stones? *checks* Yup. Just stone. :)
