[OOC] The War of the Three

[TheWendil]

So Juno was behind everyone then?

@Lmpkio

Everyone except Suparna and Sliske, yes.

@TheWindel

I'll get to work on that in a bit.

[KoL]

@Lmpkio

By the way, I referred to the fact that everyone up to now seems to have means to and the reaction speed to not even be scratched by all the attacks around them, most of all people breaking the lances there are essentially being cannonballed at and walking away, forgeting that Ni-mu covered all of the lobby's walls and floor (including the ceiling) with armor-piercing, semi-solid laser/nano-metal lances ready to skewer all non-Machina players.

Let's not forget the storm of similar shrapnel/sword on the outside too, of course, that was like a light drizzle to everyone up to now. This is the ignoring threats that we GMs are talking about. People A: aren't paying enough attention to each other's posts, B: are exaggerating too much on how much they can avoid by whatever means.

[Lmpkio]

@KoL Personally it was just me not being fast enough/being able to post on time, and being able to read all of the posts. Plus there's so many things going on all at once, it can be difficult in how to go about posting them at times, even to the point where one misses a thing or two. To be honest, there's a reason why I called my post rather shitty. It's just to pull up with the others. And yes, unfortunately I had to "by-pass" some things or just have them noted and move on. This will be the only post you'll see that'll have this. Now that I'm at where everyone else is, I can focus a lot easier and attend to the posts with more thought and vigor.

I'll see if there's also any room for me to edit in what you said to the best of my abilities tomorrow/

(Also school is a bitch so there's that...)

[KoL]

@Lmpkio

Don't worry, I wasn't referring to you only. We can take some mistakes every once in a while, actually very often, it's just that we also have to remember people to do right. When lack of care and chaos get institutionalized, RPing starts to feel kinda grating, specially for those GMing, since we put our time and effort into doing something fun only to have it crumble because some people can't be a little more considerate.

@TheWindel

And Syphax.

@KoL
Sorry, missed that part completely. My bad. I'll go back and edit Syphax's post to react to spears trying to murder him later today. I'd like to know the length of each murder stick, this will determine how injured (or dead) he gets, among other things.

@KoL

In the peoples defense, having a character die in the beginning is a little daunting, especially for those who only have one participating. To willingly bench yourself until a Tarot card (if they even can) brings you back or the battle ends is a difficult choice considering how long these can last. Even more so when this is the characters introduction battle as dying right off isn't exactly the first impression you want your character to have. (I know from experience.)

That being said, I am 100% on your side in that I've noticed some characters are practically invincible or live in the Matrix with their timing and precision. I get wanting your character to be a badass or get the "Play of the game" so to speak, but there's only so much room on the pedestal of badassary. If everyone tries to put their character on it at once there's gonna be pushing and shoving until someone is forced to stand down and that's not fun for anyone. Same for if you leave them up there and refuse to take them down. It leaves less space for the rest of us and we stop caring about your character or worse resent them.

My advice to all: Take turns, let others have their moment. Trust me, the longer you step away from the spotlight, the more people will love it when you return.
(except for Miyu. Miyu is just a bitch.)

@Awesomoman64 Miyu has a pretty consistent history of doing one somewhat useful thing (capping one point, blowing up the demon's grunts) and then falling immediately to the next threat without scratching them (Henry, Juno).

@KoLAnyway, everyone'll be retroactively alright for ignoring the Shrapnel mines/sword barrage, as Miyu will be tanking them all to the face as her useful deed for this battle as soon as I get back from work. Avoiding the hall of spikes will still be on them.

[Lucius Cypher]

Neither Dora or Fran would be able to dodge or avoid the force push or wall spear. Dying from it in the other hand is a different matter. Dora I can see surviving the spikes, what with just being an astral projection and all. Fran is just getting by on libido alone.

Shit. Miyu is the Krillin of the Angels.

@Lucius Cypher

Don't forget Zeruel is attacking her. Also, she rode in on a missile.

[Lucius Cypher]

I'm aware. But Fran is pretty tank, so this would be the perfect chance to show that Fran can take a lot of punishment. The only reason she cried when the Machina tortured her was because she's petty, not because she was close to getting broken. Coldcocked and all that.

Add a doppelganger seeking Fran's blood to this list.

@Mega Birb

About 2 to 3 meters tall, nothing so out of the ordinary for spears.

@The 42nd Gecko

Unless Miyu has a way to turn her shield into something like a very wide area version of Rho Aius, I don't think she can tank the whole of the sword storm, given that Ni-Mu essentially carpet bombed the whole bridge.

@Awesomoman64

Oh, of course I get your point. We aren't asking people to concede to death right off the bat, just to be a little more fair. The way things are going of this RP, as usual, some characters will only take a hit when we go out of our way to call them for it and that's kinda not fun to do, y'know?

[Lmpkio]

@Lucius Cypher Zeruel also has Tendrils... which rhymes with... *cough cough* tentacles *cough cough*

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL Yes, she does. The shields and entire design of the Diamyo is to protect infantry formations from artillery strikes.

@KoL

Oh I feel ya. You guys trust us with the ability to make our own judgment calls on hits because it not only makes it easier on you, but gives us more freedom which is what RPs are all about. When one or more parties abuse that system it creates a catch 22. If you let them continue the fair players will have to descend into abusing the system as well since they can't win otherwise, or you force hits which essentially takes away the freedom to call them from us. Neither option is fun and should be avoided but if push comes to shove you can't let the whole batch sour from one bad apple.

[Mega Birb]

@KoL
Alright, we're all fixed up. Syphax is an angry birb now, can Ni-Mu consistently out speed him, or will she overheat before he gets grounded? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON THE NEXUS NETWORK!
