Current I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

roleplayerguild.com/posts/5… If anyone's up for fighting some kaiju, why not try out my new RP, Godzilla: YATAGARUSU?

My issue with the first point is that it still doesn't make so much sense? I could understand prosthetics if there was an accident or something, but I'm not seeing a reason for people to make a technology that requires amputating the operator's limbs. Also it's still kind of dark for this even if I don't intend every plot to be comedy-focused and for there to be serious plotlines.

As for the second point, um, while there can certainly be character development and arguments, I'm not so sure this RP is the best place for regular morality debates? ^^; Again, maybe in one of the more serious plots later on, but not as a regular thing.
Nonon is not seeing the value in the newcomers at the moment.
Saber

The acceptance of the fact that sometimes you would have to kill for the safety of others was not lost on Vash. But he was firmly clinging to the idea of saving everyone. Saber was not sure what to say. The noble intent of saving everyone involved certainly resonated with her, but she knew very well that there were some who took such evil actions and enjoyed them, and others who would not stop unless they were killed. Perhaps, if two groups of enemies could be stopped from harming one another without bloodshed, then the action could be taken to stop them. But that was not always the case, and Saber had met those who would commit horrendous evil purely for their own benefit, or worse, their own enjoyment.

And then Archer told his story. It was a sad story, a story Saber had heard once before, and understood. It was a story close to home, given her own hardship, and it was the tragic tale of Archer's life. A path that had worn him down so much that he had once tried to destroy any possibility of such a fate occurring again. Though now, she could only hope that things were better for the tanned man, as he vanished into spirit form.

... Sorin's response, though...

"If destroying one evil draws out another," she began, "Then the second evil must be destroyed as well. Perhaps innocence is subjective in some ways to some people, but to protect those who are in need, who do not perpetrate acts of evil, that is what a hero does. A knight's duty is to conduct themselves with honor and protect those in need. A king's duty is to serve and protect the people they lead. I don't believe this can be done without death, but it is simply what is right."

And, in fact, there was more... for the moment, Saber's argument changed entirely to focus on Sorin, instead of Vash.

"To simply abandon these ideals would be utterly and completely wrong," Saber continued, eyes slightly narrowed, "No matter what happens, I will hold to this ideal. It is what a hero and a ruler must do. Someone who completely abandons their ideals and betrays them is far more broken then someone who holds them with themselves."
Jakuzure Nonon

... What was with all the debate? Nonon shrugged. Wasn't it pretty straightforward? Geez, it was pretty irritating, hearing all the dumbass moralizing coming out of those guys. Especially the guy who summoned vampires and looked like one himself. Sheesh, what was with this all? Instead, Nonon decided to turn her attention to the newcomers. Some guy in a suit, and... some other random guy. Yeah, sure, they totally looked like tough and valuable additions to the group. In the same way that watching paint dry totally looked like it was fun. Maybe they had more up their sleeves or something, Nonon didn't know.

"So some business guy and a hobo now?" she asked, rather loudly, "Gee, I'm sure they're totally prepared to fight dragons."
Everyone knows what SEED does in terms of preparing for potential Nephilim attacks, but no-one knows what they actually do or what SEED would want with a bunch of girls.

Basically, the organization and its purpose is public knowledge, but the details are hush-hush.
Okay, that works out. Accepted.

Also, on the list, exclamation points on either side of your screenname indicates that you are the current "episode GM".
@RainehDaze: You mentioned maybe wanting to change ideas privately, so I'll wait until you're certain.

@Apollosarcher: So he's definitely more of a scout as it stands then an assassin?

@j8cob: Looking forward to it!

@Primal Conundrum: I'm sorry, but, um... well, for one thing, I think that making it so mecha require the pilot to amputate their limbs is both far too dark and doesn't really make much in the way of sense. Also, clashing with Yuriko's viewpoints is all well and good, but actively killing people when it's not in self-defense when they're actively posing a threat is a good way to get kicked off of the crew as close to the nearest UEGSC enforcement office as possible.

@Gisk: I'll get my ruling up when he's finished.
@RBYDark: Accepted!

@Apollosarcher: Hmm. While I can understand the use of a scout, I'm not sure Yuriko would want a sniper. I don't mean this to say she wouldn't want someone who can hit their target from really far away or anything like that, but given Yuriko's belief that a good pirate shouldn't have to kill people unless it's in defense I'm not sure she would employ someone who is basically a pre-emptive killer, like a sniper. Now, a scout who could take out people actually attacking them is different.

@Zaresto: Accepted!
Unlimited Magical Girl Works!
When he's finished up, I'll judge him.
I have a pretty complete concept if I can decide where to have her come from. ^^;
