[OOC] The War of the Three

[Mega Birb]

@KoL

Which is 90% of the reason I dropped the sniper bot. The other 10% was Zealot falling out of the world.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lonewolf685 Artoria didn't actually do that. I asked about it, got told why it didn't make sense, and went "Oh yeah, let's not do that."

@Flamelord Bummer to see you go. Send me an invite when you start yours, if you don't mind.

@The 42nd Gecko

Do I need to post for Ruxen soon? Or are you still deciding what to do with Artoria?

[Ryonara]

@Ryonara

Hey uh, just a heads up but Henrietta isn't actually attacking yet. She's kinda just standing off to the side and waiting to see how the Eos clones did before she attacks. Just sayin.

And wow guys, holy shit did I miss a lot. I'm flattered you guys think of Henry as being the strongest character despite the fact he has won a grand total of one battle lol.

@floodtalon

Ah, sorry. I thought when she took out the Cheater's blade she was also going to attack, or at least that she did something to help Mephilia. I'll edit my responds when I get home.

Also the only reason henry has lost so many times is because everyone can see the threat of his power. I think he's the only original generation character who possess the eye powers who still consistently in play. Much like Victorie, if no one takes them out soon they'll snowball into a menace.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@TheWindel Go right ahead, I was waiting for her.

[TheWendil]

@The 42nd Gecko

Ruxen didn't leave yet so the teleport option is still there for you.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@TheWindel Oh my, Ruxen definitely made things better for Artoria, what with pointing out Taura, who is very clearly a cute animal girl.

I also feel like whacking myself in the head, as I just realized you had asked me if my teleportation came from an Angel, and I just realized Ruxen is a cute animal girl who has angelic teleportation. Duuuuurrr...

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL@TheWindel Would Ruxen or Taura have an ability Artoria'd obviously know would be better to use than Leviathan breath for countering the plasma and causing a big explosion? Like would using Titan's Nova be obviously better, Ice type being weak to Fire, or would it be worse, because this isn't Pokemon but Leviathan Breath counts as a demon type attack vs Eos's machina type attack?

[TheWendil]

@The 42nd Gecko

All Ruxen has is a teleport.

[KoL]

@The 42nd Gecko

Taura's abilities that Artoria would be able to copy are, a heavy weight super-strength/thoughness (she can't copy all of Taura's physical might though, because of reasons), her Celestial Spirits powers (which is where the Titan's Nova attack comes from, which is just a big dumb blast of holy magic) and her Earth Manipulation powers. That's pretty much what Taura is powerwise, just a big dumb space bull that can blast people with holy magic and throw several tons of dirty in your face.

@The 42nd Gecko

All Ruxen has is a teleport.

@TheWindel

You forgot to add absolute immortality, but this is irrelevant in the Nexus, anyway...

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL Absolute Immortality? That may just yet be the most broken ability Artoria's yet acquired when synthesized with some of her other powers.

[TheWendil]

@The 42nd Gecko

Perhaps. I didn't mention it since, as KoL said, it means nothing in the Nexus. Technically everyone has it.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@TheWindel So it's not something Artoria could abuse with her Regeneration. Just the normal immortality everyone has.

[KoL]

@TheWindel So it's not something Artoria could abuse with her Regeneration. Just the normal immortality everyone has.

@The 42nd Gecko

No, it's not. Being Ruxen just sucks since she dies and gets tortured, and is raped, and revives and then dies again, forever and ever. Not necessarily on this order every time, though.

[TheWendil]

@The 42nd Gecko

Ah, let me explain. Ruxen's immortality is active even if she exits the Nexus. Everyone else is immortal because of the Nexus and only within the Nexus. So I guess there is a difference there. Does that make sense?

[The 42nd Gecko]

@TheWindel Hey, that's still nifty and good to know. Thank you.

I was previously confused as to whether it was a "I can't die" immortality, or a "I always come back" immortality. The former would be broken on Artoria as to render her absolutely undefeatable except via capture.

[TheWendil]

@The 42nd Gecko

It's the latter.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL

In the beginning: "Instead of hitting the same key over and over again to accuse us, you could easily have said what I'm doing wrong and I could either find a solution for it or explain the situation"

KoL, I think part of the Machina frustration might be because of the above reason. You kept berating the Machina for not working together, not following orders, and being generally ineffective. When people responded that they were working together, and that Eos wasn't giving any orders... The discussion stopped. You didn't go "Hmm.. You're right, what else might be the problem?" and acknowledge that publicly.

Now, I think you ARE learning from things and trying to remedy that, I heard you guys might have anti-portal/teleport technology emplacement ideas in the works, but that was a very subtle implication too late. If you guys are taking our advice in mind, which I think you are, you might want to let people know. In other words, "Let them see you sharpen the sword before you fall on it" or, phrased differently, "An apology no one sees is no different from an apology that didn't happen".

Personally, I think things are getting better. I feel a lot more comfortable about asking you guys for advice on how an action I'm thinking about considering would pan out. But, obviously, not everyone feels that way.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@floodtalon I did say strongest demon, which narrows it down to one third, and original, which narrows it down to... very few people. Demons have a hella-turnover. But yeah, Henry pretty boss even still.
