Really? Are my posts invisible? Do I have to employ neon signs whenever I wish to communicate?

What response were you looking for? I saw the post but to me it looks like your character is talking to himself

I meant the post in the OOC, just above the character sheet, where I state that if my calculations are correct, my character is massively overpowered, and able to carry more than 130.000 pounds.

[KatherinWinter]

I don't see that one.

Using the strength of the rhinoceros beetle as a base, for the weight of an average european, Tsukune should be able to carry more than 130.000 pounds. Even at 1/10th of the inherited strength, he'd be able to lift 13x that limit.

Look at my quote. This is the post.

[KatherinWinter]

Hmmm. I see the quote but I've looked through the ooc and don't see it. When I look it up I see that the rhinoceros beetle can lift 850 times their own weight which is about 1 lb which comes to 850.

[thewizardguy]

Exactly. However, it would be quite silly if we were to state that if, for example, you were part ant, you would be unable to pick up anything heavier than a leaf. You're a lot friggin bigger than an ant, and thus the strength is comparative.
Basically, I'm attributing the strength of a human-sized Rhinoceros beetle to Tsukune, which is going to be his human weigh x850. I think you can see the problem, however.

[KatherinWinter]

Oh isee what your saying I was using the beetles weight not your characters. I'm dense sometimes;) I guess you and the dragon can lift more but I have no idea where the scientist is going to find anything heavy enought to see that.

[thewizardguy]

130.000 pounds? That's ridiculous. He'd be able to arm-wrestle the Hulk to the ground, and pick up tanks with one hand. And I'm using pounds to calculate, not lbs. That's 60 European tons, 60.000 kg. A heavy-ass tank is 30 tons, and that's a big Tiger Tank or something of the like. That level of strength would be insane, if we're trying to keep the power levels relatively low.
I think I'm going to severely downgrade his strength to about 1/50 of that amount. That leaves him with 1,2 tons, much more manageable.

[KatherinWinter]

I can live with that. Thank you for doing all that math and making your character reasonable ;)

[thewizardguy]

Math is the basis of any logical calculation. Screw Gods, I worship advanced mathematics.

However, no problem, and I hope such problems can be avoided. I had not realized the simple solution of using the mass-strength inequality of mammals as excuse for a nerf, in terms of strength, of Tsukune,

[KatherinWinter]

I hadnt thought about it. I suck at math.

[thewizardguy]

Meh. That is all I have to say in response to that. And this, obviously.

[KatherinWinter]

Yea well whatever ;)

[thewizardguy]

That's what meh means. Have you not learned proper meh vocabulary?

[KatherinWinter]

Nope

[thewizardguy]

Your schooling is lacking, then.

[KatherinWinter]

I wasn't a very good student until college

[thewizardguy]

Meh vocabulary is not taught at any school. It must be ABSORBED DIRECTLY FROM THE INTERNETS!1!

[KatherinWinter]

LOL then I'm absorbing the wrong stuff

[thewizardguy]

You've been looking at too much lolcats, haven't you?
