But i guess that participating nigh daily in the multiverse's OOC from its very beggining and occasionaly saying reasonable things has earned me the right to become a reviewer.

And yet my participation and past in character evaluating in every multi-verse in the past seems to hold no grounds. Shocker. Seems I pushed some buttons, :p Oh well... I obviously have the scare factor down. XD

I do hope no one has legitimately taken offense to me though. :)

I'm nice.. I promise. :p I can be pretty cutthroat while debating something though. XD Ask Glitchy. heh heh.

My ancestors were vibroblades! How dare you!?

Hey Green, Vordak has talked to me about Arp in the deposit. Are there any objections you have to him?

Guru said Yo. I do remember you. :)

I wonder. Do you remember the two times I entered the Tournament, I forget its official name WMTOT or something...?

Ahoy Guru, nice to see another of the older guys gathering back here. Like Green, I'm not exactly seeing the problem... If I said I had a sword that turns itself ablaze because magic, people wouldn't have a problem with it, despite it being even more impractical than a vibra-blade would be. I don't think simply saying "this sword functions with false science instead of false magic" should make it completely exempt.After all, characters using such weapons usually have reasons behind why they're unaffected by their drawbacks (i.e. a fire-blade user just happens to be heat-resistant), or some other pseudo-technology that makes that weapon viable for them. Yes, the effects of a weapon need clear explanation (just like fake materials and magic systems), but while their method of doing so should be stated, 'semi-realistic' fights simply can't happen without some form of handwaving there.

Heh, this makes me chuckle because I have a character whose sword pretty much does exactly that. Except, instead of simply bursting into flames it channels a form of magical energy known as the Light of Devene, which creates both light and heat, without an actual fire (or electricity).

That blade, of course, is made from a fantasy metal, which can allegedly resist potentially infinite amounts of heat for unknown reasons. Though it is otherwise no more resistant to other things than say, steel xD

Granted, the character still has to deal with the heat from his blade :P

I thought light was part of electricity. Just like how oxygen is part of water...?

This is true. However, the type of energy utilized by users of the Light, is not technically "Light," and thus is not technically part of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, it does emit light. The light it emits IS part of that spectrum, I suppose.

I guess that would make it identical to combustion...but with a different name...(>.>) *shakes head*.

Oh wow, 3 pages of whether allowing vibroweapon or not?
Gurupls, this is a vibroweapon.

No. That is a bitching ass chainsaw katana.

Do you even read bro?

It vibrates in your hand, hence vibroweapon. :p

I can think of a few other things that vibrate in my hands as well...

And I'm pretty sure I can think of a few ways to use them as weapons, so they still classify as vibroweapon.

Yes Koto, that is exactly how it works.

You know, if a backlog is starting to form on characters that haven't been accepted, I'll throw my own questionable skills into reviewing again.

At least I get shit done, too much free time and whatnot.

So this useless talk about vibration aids done? :K

Alright seeing as SKalla will be on his hiatus for some time, I think we should probably work on the multiverse story itself. Get some context for why characters would engage each other and generally give people something to do. Since it has got to the point every one has no idea what they should do, so start talking about theoretical weapons. I mean I assume that's why most of the characters already accepted have yet to do anything.

I've actually been thinking of going full spectrum and have three factions vying for control of the nexus for their own reasons. It was kind of what I suggested before to Skalla, though he seemed to have only gone with making one. So in order to generate more conflict and chance of interaction between players, I think a max of three archetypical factions might be the best option. Ones largely flexible enough in ideals that every character can find one that meshes well with their goals.

We already have a heavily law/paladins/space police regime in the Angar-Rylla. Not sure yet what the other two could be, but it should still remain that character interaction is the main focus, factions themselves merely a means to that end. Interaction between other faction members need not always be violent, but at least it will give players a believable reason to bash each others heads in rather then some vague reason like "I don't like the cut of his jib."

So thoughts on this idea? Ways we could expand it? Or do you think wandering cluster we have no is fine? And if so why? Or maybe you have some other better idea's. Give me your brain matter on this topic. :K

I mean thoughts.

I agree. The battle of elves against everything hero in Sortarius good example of how faction confrontations raise activity. This will also allow characters on the same side to actualy know each other, forming teams and tandems within the factions.

I say that we introduce Chaos. A WH40 chaos-esque faction with aetheric demons that strive to control the mortal realm, overthrowing their rival, the Angar-Rylla, being just one of the bigger gears in the whole mechanism of their scheme. Such a faction will both allow for a wide diversity of various characters and may represent the fantasy side of this multiverse; plus, we get to justify bashing each other by "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD", instead of more complex matters.

Mhmm, though in terms of chaos I'm wary of obviously evil factions, since I like the idea of evil being from the eyes of the beholder. For example how Ceaser used propaganda to make the Gauls look like the villains, even though he was clearly the invader. Though if people like the idea of joining a openly 'evil' faction, it should work anyway.

I've got the Ahs Chini and those under the command of Jessibelle Ad Fortuna who are under the guise of gaining favor throughout the multiverse and gathering materials for their people back home. The real intention of the Ahs Chini however is to remain an ever vigilant eye to spot any openings and exploit them to vie for power in subtle ways to increase their own influence in the multiverse without being ousted as outright cruel.
