When exactly did this turn into a PvP rp? When you decided "I must fight the new guy?" Its a story driven thing that you decided to start a fight without consulting me. If i was cool with some PvP and you asked before posting...it may have been different but for the sake of everyone here...just deal man. Relax and just roll with the punches. Chill out. Etc etc.

Also. I'm going to sleep. See yall in a few hours.

Bye :)

I would prefer no fighting. But I know it will happen. It would be very hard to do the things you have done. You cant POP from one spot to another. It is NEAR impossible to avoid a blade. HOWEVER this fight is done.

Loki you might want to look at the pic for the Goddess of Winter :)

Not to contradict anyone, afterall a Katana is entirely different from a longsword. (Though neither is all that slow, the katana is still slightly faster-) But I have experience with longsword combat. (And yes, I have matched up longsword to katana before- and the katana IS slightly faster) BUT, getting to the point, it is entirely possible to dodge a strike. The hard part would be to dodge the follow-up strike. (Which wasn't made in this case.) The human body is much faster than you think, I have videos where we exchanged three hard blows each in less than a second, and all were blocked but the last one. (Who was the victor of course.)

Also not meaning to give a real lesson, just rolling it out there for consideration. I love melee weapon combat in RP's (and prefer it), but I tend to stay away from melee weapons that do not fit into the 'two handed straight sword' category. It can be complex to RP a weapon you don't know, but at the same time, when you DO know a weapon, it can be addictively fun to RP. Its the difference between simply swinging a sword and describing complex maneuvers that you know are possible simply because you have done them. This can be emulated a bit by researching reliable sources and watching authentic videos though.

Anyway, I know there has been discussion as to the era and whatever, its kinda just floating there. But what kind of technology do REGULAR humans have access to? (E.G. what is possibly in the warehouse?)

I chose a gauntlet that can basically turn into a slimmed down powersuit, but didn't supply it to my character, as I figured that kind of ability in a weapon would require either an extensive quest, or god powers to use. Its up to you is all. (Oh, and that fire extinguisher was a brilliant addition, by the way.)

im not saying it is impossible to dodge a sword nto at all. I am a brown belt in taekwondo and hapkido and a first dan in Shotokan. I have dodged wooden training boken so much its ingrained in me. However a dodge is completely different from just disappearing and reappearing behind someone. If he had said dodge backwards or dodge to the left and grabbed him it wouldn't be an issue but it was the whole im OP and can magically appear behind you thing that annoyed me. If you do arena like me you must know that you have to describe each movement especially one that puts you into such an advantageous position.

Your point is valid, but I don't think there was much chance of either person hitting the other anyway. If you two had really wanted to go at it, there were few ways it could end- and none of them all that good for the RP. In an arena, I would have expected much more detail from both of you- (Again though, its why I stick with things I know for weapons, namely longswords, recurve bows, and gauntlets.)

Anyway, its pretty much over. And I am left with the question... is that snakes bite possibly addictive in small doses? Could it be sold? O_O how many laws would selling it break

FIRST let me say that I don't know the rules of combat. I don't go into the arena. I have no fighting training. So the only thing I can say is be careful with your fight scenes.

Right now you have access to the kind of technology currently available.

The snake bite isn't addictive. It cant possible be like LSD unless it is a snake Ive never heard of

Haha, I just assumed the animals that became tamed became something unique like our gods. It could also just be Sebastian lying ;)

OH they WILL but like the powers it has to be earned.
