I'm gonna flex my under-GM muscles and say slapping another character, within reason and without the other characters player moaning about it, is allowed. I didn't mind when Q got slapped. Hell I thought it was Hilarious, colored the personalities of Tea and Q and added to the drama of the moment. Some folks don't like to be involved in play like that though, and try to call it out as Godmoding. If Patriarch falls under that camp then I would just go for an open slap, one which gives him the choice to either dodge or be hit by it. Edit - I also have to mention how much Exodus's 'balls of steel' line made me giggle. Like really giggle, Like an actual schoolgirl!

I don't mind him getting slapped or hit, but if someone used their powers to mute him then I might have a problem. Hitting is fine

Lot of talk of slapping lol, I got ran over!

Walk it off!

Lol Starbolt is not that strong.

Slapping him is like cutting off a hydra's head, he'll just keep going on with his jokes

Maybe, but it'll make the slapper feel good. Tea's lucky. She can just put him on mute if need be.

I think that would break the rules of affecting other players characters

"Affecting other players characters"? What? Are you serious? Interaction between characters is extremely important, things like that boost character development. Obviously everything we do "affects" your character, you can't just join a thread with young adolescent hormone-fueled superpowerul teenagers and expect to not get in trouble occasionally. It's not like there's any rule that implies that your character is invincible, because if we can't slap Bolt in the face than that is awful. Honestly, getting a slap in the face should be the least of your worries right now, you just ran over your teammate with a car and didn't even stop to think if she was okay. You should get blasted through a window for that, honestly what you did was extremely reminiscent of the Joker. Crazy guy slamming his foot on the gas of an extremely fast car, which would've murdered Top in cold blood if Starbolt hadn't intervened. In the real Young Justice, you would've been expelled for the team and labeled a villain if you pulled that. The reason I'm pissed is because you thought you were immune to a slap in the face after nearly committing vehicular manslaughter... So yeah, /rant. ...but I will admit I found Bolt comparing himself to Johnny Cage funny.

Dude read my post, I was referring to characters using their superpowers to mute him

Lot of talk of slapping lol, I got ran over!

She didn't have to knock Top out of the way

"Yay! I'm the king of heroes man!" he said to Top laughing. When he saw Ditto and his clones he whistled impressed by the hero's powers. "So you're a Naruto fan-" he charged up with electricity. "I was always more of Mortal Kombat fan specifically Raiden, but I think most might view me as more a johnny Cage, must be my damn good looks" he said to Ditto as he took his attention away from the battle going off on a tangent.

I'm afraid I'm struggling to understand this bit. Who's speaking to who here?

And allow a fellow leaguer to commit murder? I dont think our mentors will enjoy that lol.

I suppose no one ever said the path of a hero is an easy one!

That is also true

Right, I'm struggling with a dilemma. I can't decide how I'd like to develop Q with regards to his combat capabilities. Either I can 1.) Have him realize his shortcomings and resolve to become a better martial artist, more in line with the Vic Sage version of the Question. If this was the case he would conceivably need a teacher, preferably picking one of our characters to train him, Mr Miyagi style. Or 2.) Give him a more occult slant. He could pick up some petty mysticism and magic powers, all self taught. He would then function as more of a trickster on the battlefield, using illusions and basic spells to misdirect and debuff his enemies. What d'yall think?

Well, considering he plans to uncover Kendra's secrets and maybe try and help her, him learning mysticism and the occult would make a lot of sense and might be helpful later on.

Um... what the hell superpower do you think Tea has? She a technopath with technokinetic abilities... that are limited to her own body. And she's a cyborg. I was talking about her using the cybernetics in her head to turn her auditory receptacles off in regards to Bolt. Meaning TEA won't be able to hear him. Everyone else still can. Before you go on a tangent, make sure you know what you are talking about. Yes, say Tea wanted you to shut up so she broke your jaw, wired the hinge shut and sewed your lips together. THAT would totally be out of line and against the rules. But affecting MY character to ignore YOUR character is not against the rules.

Okay... Sugar? Calm down. We don't need to fight amongst ourselves.

Dude? Chill the fuck out. This is getting way too out of control over a simple miscommunication anyways.

Being a hero, not a murderer... yes she did. That was a really stupid thing for you to try to do. I get wanting to toe the dark side while role-playing. There's freedom in it... but maybe you shouldn't have made a hero who is willing to murder in a DC universe. Marvel, sure, they kill no problem. But DC? Yeah... not so lenient. Just look at your avatar.

I vote Mystic because I want a Loki I can smack for being too goddamn sexy and stealing all the ladies! Even if Question himself isn't all that sexy.

Woah. I'm honestly 100% calm, but you're the who needs to chill out and the unnecessary use of profanity in your post proves that you're the only one that needs to calm down. No one's fighting, I was just making sure of a couple things, easy.

I could have Beck teach him some martial arts if you wanted to go down that route instead. He's not quite a Mr. Miyagi, but he knows his stuff.

Firstly, you sure as hell didn't seem calm, that's why I said that. If you feel you're calm then fine. But you did seem on the verge of blowing up at Patriarch. Whether you would have or not I don't know. Frankly at this point, I don't care since he misunderstood me in the first place, and everything is settled. Secondly. Don't chide me for profanity. It's a waste of time. I use it all the time, and the context I was using it in was calm. I wasn't shouting or angry or even really scolding him. I was just saying "Hey. Chill the fuck out. We're all cool here". Thirdly. Don't read this and try to start anything. I'm not trying to pick a fight. Just be chill.

Bolt is talking to Ditto and losing focus on the battle, he's very easily distracted

Hope everyone is chilled out from any confusion and can move forward, we have a great potential team in our midst, We are young justice teens with a lot to learn. :) Oh and I'll be posting shortly.

are all of the villains defeated or are there still some left?
