[OOC] Nexus Of Worlds Multiverse

[Salroka]

It's adorable how you think I'm going to let you get away.

[LeeRoy]

I mean.

I can't think of any logical way that she could catch him. Besides the fact that he's in the air, and she's on his robot's knee.

And she was setting off an attack that had been charged. So does that mean that she can just. Y'know.

Shift from one high power attack to another?

Yeah, actually. She hasn't fully CAST the spell yet, just done the incantation TO cast it. So logically she could just commit the essence to another spell or ability, as long as it was one of her 0-turn spells or a charm that could be used reflexively. Plus... Total Annihilation makes a column of pure destruction that is over five miles high. At 1500mph, he is going at about 1 mile every 2.5 seconds. That means I would have to stall for about seven seconds (given he waiting until I was about half done with the incantation to eject) before detonating it to let him reach such a height. If Ysolda detonates the spell on her location (killing herself, of course) That would not allow Green's guy to escape the height of the blast.

Just saying.

However, it is more likely that I will simply redirect the essence flow into something entirely different. Think of Essence like Mana, really. As long as you haven't spent it, you can change what it is used for.

And to be fair... this "Nuke" is a Zero-Charge attack. So...

---

Lastly... Green himself has given me a way to survive the attack, though he may or may not realize it.

[Rai]

May I join? I have a world. It's in my signature.

[Salroka]

I'm sure none of us have an issue with you joining the fray, but this is not a place to just brazenly advertise your own RPs. That's not exactly Fonz-cool. In addition... though I am not a GM, and our GM is temporarily absent, we're trying to keep this multiverse alive while he sorts out things IRL... It's MY opinion that we have more than enough worlds and not quite enough people to fill them all at this present time. However, perhaps in the future you can adapt the world fro your RP to the multiverse, and we could have some bitchin' combat scenes there.

That said, feel free to write up a character and one of the reviewers will see it critiqued in the near future.

Creation criteria are outlined both in the opening post of this OOC, and in the opening post of the following THREAD.

We look forward to your character, Rai.

[Alphakoka]

Eh, we don't really have enough people playing that another added world is needed yet, but if you have a character in mind that you want to throw in. Post a sheet in the CS section (or here, that could work too) and then someone would review it to see if it's not against a rule or going out of bound, if the reviewer found nothing and no one complained (too much, someone would always complain anyway) then your char's accepted and you can throw him or her into one of the existing worlds we have right now.

1. Not going straight up. Going to avoid the width of your blast.

2. No, you can not start prepping one attack and use it's preps for something else instead. Those kind of things have to be specific.

3. That "nuke" is actually three nukes, and unless you've got a prepped shield to counter it, it doesn't matter if it's not prepped. It's still three nukes.

Good luck trying to catch mah dude though.

1.) Ok, then.

2.) Prove it.

3.) You personally have given me all I need to survive it.

2.
Here you go. In addition to knowing that T1 doesn't work like that, it is also stated in the rules at the first page of this thread;

Power is determined by the content of prior posts. The more the attack is described and noted in context of the exchange of posts between characters, the greater the strength of the attack or defensive maneuver.

- Equality of posts and preparations (preps): The attack (or defense) strength is equal to the number of posts made for that action. All individual posts are equal in strength, but posts can be stacked if you clearly state that you are preparing for an action.

3. Go right ahead, I'm curious.

[Salroka]

Green said 3. Go right ahead, I'm curious.

Happily.

[Green]

Does that mean we're in agreement on point 2?

[Salroka]

Not necessarily. I simply don't need to argue it to have my character survive. No need to argue further = no REASON to argue further.

[Green]

Well, I am asking because there's a difference between arguing about opinions, and arguing about facts. It's pretty important that you understand the fact that one can not transfer preps between two different attacks or techniques, as per the rules of play. Knowing that now saves us the trouble of arguing about it at a later time, because that rule is constant.

Just to be clear, however, you -can- cancel one technique and utilize another instead (non-prepped), there is nothing in the way of that.

[Schradinger]

Wait... So multiple un-prepped attacks that can all be launched in a single post have the same severity as a single attack with the same number of preps behind it? They're not just considered three un-prepped attacks that can be defended against as such?

Gods no. That would be crazy. They are totally considered un-prepped, and can be defended against as such.

Pretty sure I already noted I could do that.

Huh. So, you never thought you could switch your prep 3 attack for another prep 3 attack?

[Salroka]

I'm not a fucking noob, homie...

Beta said

Heh. Well, in that case you can scratch point 2. I didn't fully understand what you meant when you talked about transferring essence. My bad. Glad you didn't actually think you could shift preps around.

[Salroka]

To be perfectly honest I wondered why you were even arguing it, due to the fact I pointed out using her 0-turn abilities instead of the big fuck-you card that I still think you're half-assed metagaming to avoid.
