It's not the tier that matters in this case then, it's the skills that the characters possess in tow. And by all accounts, Mal outperforms.

Ah, you are correct. For example, if a character with, I dunno, some sort of ability that grants them good reflexes goes up against an opponent with weapons skills of lower rank than that power, or none at all, the character with the reflexes would likely win.

EVERYBODY HOLD THEMSELVES THE METRIC FUCK UP

I GOTTA REPLY TO A BAJILLION POSTS

@LokiLeo789 Feel free to try. I've done some arena roleplay in the past, Diana can run if necessary, and the fight might be broken up beforehand anyway. Otherwise, I'm sure we can find a way we both get to survive this.

I fear you underestimate the situation my friend. For one, no one is going to be effective enough to help you; Marco is high and unable to coordinated himself, Giggles is content just watching, Irishman and Hound won't pose a threat; not to mention none of them can even combat Mal if they wanted to. Second of all, Mal is a physical monster. In no way shape or form did Diana sneak up on him unnoticed. And because she had the guile to attempt to stalk a predator basically, she is viewed as a threat. The moment that gun touched his head, she was dead. Mal's reaction time his faster that she can shoot, he can cut her down faster than she can react. And let't not forget that every single one of Mal's weapons counter your character. Please feel free to read my CS to further confirm. (I.E: Energy Blade, High Caliber Armor Piercing Rounds)

I am glad we are able to talk about this, but what happen's next is likely unavoidable unless we opt to have him show mercy, something against his character, and cut off an arm. If that would be to your liking, I'm willing to work with you there. Otherwise, anything else would go grossly against his character.

...gun touched his head...

...standing about ten feet behind the Sykrott...

Thought of that already. Can Mal turn around, move nearly ten feet and make an attack in the time it takes Diana to move her finger about an inch? I don't doubt his abilities, but I don't think even he could manage that.

With Mal's speed? Yes. And Mal doesn't have to take the sword route either. With quick access to his firearms, he can kill Diana before she fires. This would be so much easier if you numerated your skills according the tier and we can compare. But with the descriptions laid out before us, Mal can preform a killing action before she can fire a shot, if not predict the shot's trajectory. We should take this to Pm's, on Discord maybe?

I don't think this is going to go how you think it will go...

That's literally been your response for everything I've done. Please explain how you think it will go, because you know how it will go.

I asked my magic 8 ball, and it said

"Ben you are very handsome and I love you"

I interpreted that to be quite the prophecy. But you'll have to find out what it means yourself.

EDIT: I just realized I was reading it upside down. What it really said was

"This will not go the way LokiLeo789 thinks it will go."

No, I dont think it should go to PMs or Discord, seeing as how we are all involved in this scene.

Here I'll do some math for you, consider yourself lucky, I don't do this for every Jabroni,

"The average bullet travels at 2,500 feet per second (around 1,700 mph). If you reacted to the sound of the gun going off and required 0.20 seconds (twice that of the fastest Olympic sprinters) to react, then you would need to be at least 500 feet away to successfully dodge a bullet." per mythbusters

You have the task of going from a speed of zero to 22 mph (to travel the 10 feet), in the (average human, not tech enhanced) time of.31 seconds it takes for a person to pull a trigger.
That is a tall order for 324lb Randy Orton over there.

people seem awfully opposed to going back and retconning/editing/skipping/replaying things so that they make more sense and play a better game

anyway

Whatever it was, the man looked in too much danger for this to be ignored. After a moment's hesitation, she set off after him.

[inexperience in shadowing]

It was only a matter of time before she'd be discovered, she was certain of it [...]

The problem is right here. This isn't a standalone action, it's an interaction. The response ball should have passed to Loki.

If we backpedal just a little bit and have Mal notice the captain well before she decides to be noticed, the two of them can play from there and the rest of the characters responding to the scene can continue from whatever follows.

Until what Termite suggested is acted upon, could everyone please stop posting in IC? Or at least write open-ended posts like Termite's?

@LokiLeo789@JaceBeleren[@anyone else who might care] Heads up, the other three characters involved in the current scene (Marco, Colin, Gigs) are all part of a group, so we're gonna be migrating to a different thread as that starts up. No need to wait for us anymore.

@LokiLeo789
My apologies, I misunderstood the decision that was made, and was waiting for someone else to post. After reviewing the discussion, my most recent IC post has been edited, feel free to react (and probably kill me).

It looks like we might need a new centre of interaction to spark things up again, so I'll be sending my character Ayem to a new Frixion location shortly.

Scratch that and make it a possibly, I need to check out some threads first.

@SIGINT CAR WASH THE CHILD

@Antarctic Termite youtu.be/3v8I5egzoMo?t=1m26s

cain I join in? I know the join status is jump in but I think it is better to ask first.

Edited from my original response - I'm a little squirrelly about getting jnto fights, but it is a persistent world RP, so it's not really on me or anyone else to determine where you can go or what you can do. If you feel like jumping in, go ahead and jump in!

The reason Termite and I decided to have our RP in the planet megathread was to try to breathe some life into it, since not much was going on. So, having gone into it with that in mind, far be it from me to push people away.
