[Ranked] Four Way: Convergence of Power

Begin at will.

The order you post in, will be the order from here on out.

@Rilla

Do we really need to?
Can't we just post our intro in whichever order and decide on the posting order in the OOC?
For example I'd prefer to be the last in line but my time currently allows me to make the intro today or tomorrow.

Another thing, if somebody is busy or has something to do can they switch their posting order for a certain turn?
For example X is first but he knows he won't be available for days. He' be the next in line but he passes that for the said turn thus gaining enough time he can post once he returned.
I don't quite have any plans yet but it's better to discuss such things in advance.

True Vacuum - New Universe Space NRP

At least it is more subtle than my usual method of space NRP

You don't get much less subtle than the HMS Lohengramm or the SS Wen-Li

@Eschatologist

Hah, I try to steal some LotGH to my space civs, too.
The ships, the politics and other such inspirations.
So yeah, totally understandable.


BTW, prepare for my space cyborg samurai bears!

True Vacuum - New Universe Space NRP

Oh man Willy I played stardrive too. Samurai bears will always have a place in my heart.

@Eschatologist

I thought I was subtle enough with the inspiration but I'm partially glad to be mistaken:

Man, I miss the time when we could post youtube videos.

True Vacuum - New Universe Space NRP

My ideas slide between death world dwellers who suddenly open up to a whole new world, space samurai bears, racist polipheads and a few other alternatives.

I think it was once explain Cyclops eyes are actually gateways to another dimension that the energy comes from... >.>

@GreivousKhan

Guess what? They actually combined both.
Something about energy having momentum in that alternate dimension or something.

I was under the impression your character had attacks with a burning effect and lazer beam explosives, which is two of Anna's many weaknesses, I can't quite fathom how you can possibly fail to see your options. Your complaints about fire would be ridiculously uncomparable to my own complaints, your character is still inherently superhuman without her magic, mine can't even lift her own body weight. I don't really need to justify it though, it's so obvious its barely worth arguing.

@MelonHead

Well, I personally can know counters. Alicia herself may keep punching and kicking you, though.
As for burning effects, it could be. In the recent days I talked about them in this context but now that I remember my initial idea the energy blasts were supposed to be concussive in effect in general.
They can be destructive but because of Alicia's kindheartedness the energy blasts often knock out the target and disperse damage through their body than anything lethal.
Though if Alicia focuses on that the energy blasts can burn.
Well, think of energy attacks from superhero comics. Those tend to change their properties depending on what's more convenient for the situation. It went as far as they eventually had to justify Cyclops' energy beams as he can convert light into kinetic energy or some BS.
Still not sure on his mechanics with the banking-bouncing energy blasts, though.

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

40,000 lightyears. Keep the speed limit in mind. In space volumetrics that would be 33,500,000,000,000 lightyears. I did not say that's how much you had scouted - merely that there was a potential 40,000 lightyear envelop of space that could be scouted in that time. Feel free to have scouted none of it by the time the RP starts.

@Terminal

Yeah, that was a typo.
Anyways, that would sound overly idealistic and quite unbelievable.
Not just because it needs 4 weeks of nonstop travel to all directions and expect that somebody has enough ships and/or long enough sensor coverage to make it possible but because as I said it'd be quite unwise to make FTL speeds right at the limits which your NRP allows.
Good rule of thumb could be around the fraction of this.
Or just leave it vague when there's no particular significance to it.

As others said this game would eliminate many of the issues with space NRPs which is space itself. It's huge and our empires would be most likely just tiny dots in the galaxy.
Still, another reason why 40 kly radius of explored area is problematic because I suppose most of us wish the first contact situations to play out during the IC.
Of course I'm not complaining to you. Partially I didn't even write this for you but to inform the other players and avoid future issues.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

I can't post until Saturday, unfortunately.
Hopefully I can participate in the skirmish somehow. Should be a good test of sorts.

Civilization - New Lands, New Glory

@ChenzorWell, I'm of course in for the continuation.
You may wish to speed up certain processes that were ongoing, though.
Or not!
Either way is fine.
I'll be ready after the 10th of July.

[Ranked] Four Way: Convergence of Power

Yeah, to be fair my character has little in the ways of hurting Melon's water wraith and unlike everybody else's character here Alicia isn't that smart to quickly figure out alternatives.
Yet I don't complain, neither at the possibility of Khan "no-selling" my energy attacks by his fire defense.
It gives me things to struggle with and overcome in a style fitting my character.
...Or fail trying.

The only thing we need to keep in mind that regardless of the flowery text and descriptions on our abilities, all fighters should be roughly equal.
The only differences are on what we put our focus and exactly what kind of abilities we have.
