I'm sorry, but no one is not even considering starting an argument.
You were the only one who said something about that.

Then maybe don't engage on the subject of starting an argument? Saying shit like that is an excellent way to do exactly that.

Hex said he didn't wanna start an argument, you're saying you don't wanna start an argument, so let's all just drop this and move on like Hex was trying to do in the first place.

Regardless of whether some implication about you in there irks you, just acknowledge what was actually said and leave it alone like he said he wanted.

Now, now, children. Don't start this again.

But yeah, I'm mostly just seeing a constructive debate on what can and can't be done, and I think we're in agreement here. Hitting a nerve can do all sorts of nasty shit, as can hitting any other weaker structure in the body. There are a lot of places a person can get hit that will hurt like ten motherfuckers just kicked you in the gonads, but most of them simply don't present themselves in a fight - especially not if the guy you're trying to hit is trying not to get hit. Brachial plexus, under the arm? Hurts like hell. Doesn't get hit because most people put up their fists and keep their elbows in the way. Neck? Fists are in the way, and people push their head forwards to protect their neck instinctively. Etc., etc., etc.

Then there's the problem that, as Mark Twain put it, a lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. Anything 'magical' is an exaggeration or an underinvestigated coincidence. Keep in mind that Houdini was accidentally killed by a punch to the gut rupturing his appendix, and that was a man known for being able to take punches from trained boxers without so much as a bruise -- plenty more people have gotten killed by less, so I can believe the stories came from somewhere.

He poked me first. And I'm not the type of person that ENJOYS being poked...

EDIT: you all understand that I employed acupressure points exactly how they work in acupuncture. I didn't use shady or occult things and techniques.

Let's take this to PMs then. But for the public record, I think Hex thought you were taking offense at the discussion and dropped it. Perfectly reasonable misunderstanding there.

Edit: Also, I think this was a good discussion in general. It's not really about one roleplayer so much as it's about how everyone interprets the martial arts classes in question. Getting this all cleared up before it comes up in the IC and causes an OOC argument is good.

Anyways, to clean any possible misunderstanding, I intend to use these things (acupuncture, acupressure points & etc) exactly how they work irl.

B-but... My Kill Bill. ;-;

The Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique

Hm... I'm actually thinking if its possible to make someone lose control of their bladders or sphincters with a pressure point.

That would be a VERY effective attack

@Azereiah

I'm sure if I look around I can find a handful of videos of people crapping themselves from taking body punches, don't keep those handy but they happen.

@Azereiah

Why settle for that when you can go full-myth and use a brown note with your flute?

In all seriousness though, if I remember rightly, a shot to the pubus can sometimes cause leakage if the victim's bladder is already full. I seem to remember that a friend in high school fell victim to that kind of prank, but my memory tends to be fuzzy and anecdotes don't mean much. At that point, though, you might as well just go for the gonads. Not so sure about forcing #2.

@Azereiah

OMG!!

I Didn't even knew about the existence of this "Brown Note"

literally imagining Beethoven's Ode to Joy being played while people hearing it in the auditory all starts to explode with violent diarrhea

pressuring the bladder can cause leakage, because it's a bladder: if you squeeze it stuff can happen.

Hitting the pubis really hard generally means you have groin pain to worry about, or if you take some kinda super severe hit a bruised or broken pubis that can make walking a pain or at worst cause horrific permanent injury.

TL:DR? Musashi's cruel and groin hits range from comically painful to 'serious medical problem' to 'might never walk again'.

Somewhere between this, this, and this?

I just realized I had Ryousei away from the fight and...

Where he goin' now?

To the flag!

Mina's not going to become Ty Lee or Kenshiro during this rp, no.

To her, pressure points will just be something to do after somebody's distracted by, say, a bright flash of light to the eyes. She'll take her time to carefully give them a dead limb or make them piss themselves after a blinding flash, and she probably has the fight in the bag with just her self-defence, then, or any other fighting skills she has from the Eastern Martial Arts class.

You get to have a chat with Daisuke, Hana, and Clarabelle.

tbh I think both teams focused so heavily on defense that any one or two people going for the flag would get thrown out on their asses like brock
