[OOC] Nexus Of Worlds Multiverse

[LeeRoy]

Is that not common nomenclature in other parts of the world?

Down here in MS it used to be pretty big.

Synonymous with stealing.

[LeeRoy]

Damnit doubleposts.

Gods, I hope you don't use a bunch of words differently. I have hard enough time with Melons post from time to time.

How the hell do you have a sword stood up in your hand? What does that even mean? D=

Khan is right, when you're dealing with super-humans its incredibly difficult to bring them down with a gun. Think about how many super-heroes/villains are killed by pistols.And honestly ASTA, you've already been asked to leave if you have a problem numerous times, that argument isn't going to have anyone jumping out of their seats to meet your requirements. I don't know what RP's you've been in where the GM has to have some kind of argument for why you can't have a character you've decided on in -THEIR- RP, but I'd honestly love to see you try and drag someone's 'name through the dirt' as you suggest, that would be downright hilarious.

It was more like it was recommend that I make an exit, which was fine, considering it was clear that I was rather distraught with the current workings of the RP. In the end, I decided to stick around because those few bumps seemed like minor inconveniences when the quest for fun and enjoyment was considered.

I'm not expecting an argument, I just want a concrete reason as to why "X" and "Y" aren't allowed but "Z" is, as well as a chance to actually partake in the roleplay and have the fight monitored by a judge. At the moment, it's just baseless assumptions and fearful predictions based on the actions of a bunch of random people I've never seen nor heard of. =/

[LeeRoy]

One word ASTA.

Abuseable.

[GreivousKhan]

You could probably fix that by setting a cool down time, or even having to reach a certain amount of perps before being able to create a wormhole. Mix that in with a number of uses and it should be fine.

Also, because you favor guns for -winning- its already been made fairly apparent you're not interested in the main point of Arena, which is to make compelling narrative surrounding fights. For shame.

So you're implying firefights are not more intense than 13th century battles featuring armored knights and rows of spearmen.

This seems more like an opinion rather than a fact, I'd say.

Also, the reason given for me favoring firearms over swords is my own personal stance on the whole thing. I just like modern weapons more than ancient ones, just like how you [apparently] enjoy swords more. In this MV, these preferences matters little considering both pistol and blade are on the same level.

And frankly, nowhere did I say I was playing to win. If that were the case, I'd give my characters a lot more abilities than what they have now. Or something like that.

LOL. I could careless. You don't have to partake in this. I am saying to you, you don't have to play if you feel I am a tyrant. You can walk away and do what ever else you want in the site. I am not forcing you to join, this RP doesn't depend on you participating for it to go forward.

I actually want to join; I don't need anyone to force me to join, lol. I never said it depended on me participating in order for it to move forward. It's pretty obvious it was doing pretty damn good prior to my arrival, after all, especially seeing all of the posts and characters submitted around the time I first showed up.

There is a cool-down time in place, actually, as well as a hardcap limit on the amount of wormholes BoT can make.

Besides the "DODGE EVERYTHING" abuse possiblity, what are the other issues people are finding with this particular power? I also saw Melon's concern, which is very much legitimate, and I admit was an oversight on my part. It will be changed as soon as possible.

[Skallagrim]

Alright. You want you character to have spatial manipulation. Right. I can work with that but you cannot insta kill an opponent-pc who gets trapped in the field. Damaging yes, but a theoretical white-hole effect takes place ejecting them out, damaged certainly and based on tier level it could be deadly but no insta kill.

I am working through the other aspects of the power that bother me. If we cannot come to an accord then this character is a no go. Also I am still waiting for Rilla's opine.

Actually, I'll take out the damaging effect entirely. It's not required, now that I think about it, but the 'ejection' ability is interesting and reasonable.

[LeeRoy]

When Crapton ran a Multiverse there was another guy who used portals like this.

Except he had huge limitations placed on him.

He could only place them in spots that he had touched. Though he could cut people in half if they got caught between two portals.

[GreivousKhan]

Btw Leeroy, what kind of weapon did you pick up?

I think that's a pretty important detail.

[LeeRoy]

A sleek rifle, the kind mentioned by Skallagrim.

Assuming that since it's a rifle that it's either a carbine or assault rifle. And if it's an assault rifle it's likely a burst firing rifle.

LeeRoy has popped off two rounds into each of the guards, that's four rounds total.

I don't know the exact amount of ammunition held in it, if left to my devices it'll be twenty shots total.

Yeah, I'm not interested in the 'cutting people in half' bit, as I said above.

Whatever happened to Crapton anyway? Or is he going by another name that I don't know about yet?

[LeeRoy]

Am I waiting for Skallagrim or am I good to post?

[GreivousKhan]

Not sure, I'm waiting for Skalla too, though my question was mostly addressing rather or not it was an energy weapon, used chemical propulsion, or rounds electromagnetically accelerated.

Guess we find that out from the big head.
