The hair, wherever the thinnest part connecting her to Irene would be.

... it's not like it's a single rope. It's the same pieces that stabbed her.

Well sure, but would the bullets cut through those strands that stabbed her?

... whilst it technically would, it seems like a rather implausible solution to the whole situation. Especially with armour-piercing sniper rounds being carted around and used from about 20' away at most.

The people on the roof tops far away have them.

Pretty sure this post was still being disputed.

For one thing none of it really makes sense? I mean if you wanted to have people cut the hair there's a lot of other options that make more sense, not so much shooting them from long range with sniper rifles.

... Also, going to try and work out something for the market district, which has ground to a halt right now. Everyone involved there is still here, right?

I'll be posting tomorrow.

Would you prefer the evil clan of elitist warriors walk up with safety scissors? How about give some high fives to the Heros while there at it? I am joking entirely of course and that was supreme levels of sarcasm, but what about people with magical flaming swords fighting hair-wielding people on a beach with a mech trooper and (once) a giant crocodile monster in Japan makes sense?

I think it's the whole 'undefined mooks effortlessly get the better of proper characters, including having unnatural aiming ability' part. One post there's nothing, next there's guys in the crowd, third there's NPC snipers in position to effectively shoot ropes from beyond reach with perfect aim. It's not even the 'in character' implausible; it's the 'does this remotely make for good reading' implausible. Deus ex machina.

There's alternatives for freeing Irene that make more sense and don't have her somehow do all those things in one post. I don't think anyone is even protesting her getting away(just threatening violence against the civilians would probably make the heroes relent) but mooks with perfect aim shooting through crowds to perfectly hit something like a rope is a bit out of no-where and confusing.

If you want me to change it, just say so. The only defenses I can put up for my post are: The snipers are never said to have perfect/flawless accuracy- the sample size for their accuracy at this point is one shot per person who fired, the people who fired where aiming over the crowd- not firing through them, and that the shots didn't have to hit precise points to go through- so their was no perfectly placed hits.

Your post doesn't come off as explaining it like that, though.

I'd recommend just trying a different method that makes a bit more sense for a bunch of mooks.

One that doesn't have the big plot hole 'why didn't they just shoot the heroes?' People are easy targets compared to rope. :T

Thank you. Edit the post to something a bit more understandable and have them use a method that makes sense and we'll be fine. Well, along with not taking so many actions without anyone reacting.

Anyway, I'll be making a post for Kiko and the Market District later.

I have an edited version ready, but first; what about the people who responded to the original version? They are going to have to change theirs and I don't want to cause to much trouble for them.

They're going to have to edit, or we can just ignore those posts.
