Start Date: 3/12/2014
End Date: 3/27/2014
First Post: Andrew Jackson

Small Town Rodeo , the combat takes place in a rodeo arena and the surrounding parking lot and horse stables. There are is also a tilt-a-whirl and Ferris wheel on site. Both contestants will start in the center of the rodeo arena separated by a distance of 100 feet and must take into account the cowboy with the flag, as he is the official start of the fight. Second poster must have him ride away as part of his initial post.

Forgive my slow posting time, I've been outside all day. First sunny day in ages! Gonna grab something to bite and get right on the introduction :)

[Skallagrim]

You killed Kenny!!! You Bastard!!!

[Green]

Heading to work now, been sleeping since I came home from work last night, I'll make my post when I get home in a few hours :)

[Green]

The 48 hour limit is up in an hour, but I'm gonna wait until I wake up tomorrow before I consider it due. Don't let me win by default Descartes!

[Green]

I'm going to wait another day before doing the auto-hit. Surely Descartes is having some issues that is hindering his ability to access the internet.

[Descartes]

Sorry for the late response, I was in New York for the past 6 days and had no access to a computer (my last post was from a phone)

[Green]

No worries :) I figured something like that was the case. Give me a heads up next time.

[Green]

Waitaminute. Andrew Jackson can fly? O.o

[Descartes]

He can fly?

[Green]

Well, if he can't, there's no way he can throw Fuchsia anywhere. He's in mid-air, getting hit by something that is going to push him upwards upon impact, unless he can somehow halt his movement in the air by use of some ability, he's not going to be throwing anyone anytime soon :P

I'm pretty sure you see why, but just in case; To throw something, or deliver any physical force, there has to be an amount of force behind the throw/punch. Unless Andrew Jackson freezes himself in mid-air, he could be as strong as 10 000 bulls, but would still be completely unable to use that force effectively without any momentum. He is, upon impact, about to fall downwards; his weight is far from enough to halt the oncoming blow, which has a considerable amount of momentum and force behind it.

Man, that was hard to explain, I don't really know if I got the point across. Did I get the point across?

[Descartes]

There we go.

[Green]

Where did the bird come from? The only one that wasn't killed flew off into the distance a few posts ago :P And how many birds has Andrew summoned so far? Wasn't there a limit on how many he could summon within a certain timeframe?

[Descartes]

2 every 3 minutes, I'm not actually sure how much time has gone by though.

[Green]

Not even close to 3 minutes, maybe 30 seconds, tops. But we'll just ignore the fact that he's summoned a bird too many at this point. Not really important. Just something to keep in mind in future posts.

At any rate, that bird he's using to make the jump is nowhere near him when Fuchsia launched his attack. I'm afraid you're gonna have to come up with something else.

But we can get a ruling on it if you want to?

[Skallagrim]

Ask Rilla for an evaluation and ruling if need be.

[Descartes]

Sorry for the trouble. I edited in a new response.

[Green]

No worries :)

I am though still not convinced that his action is plausible. The club is coming at him at incredible velocity. The combination of Fuchsia jumping (which is already pretty darn fast) and swinging, makes for a rather fast and powerful swing. Sure, he can grab a hold of the spikes (which is difficult, but he is American, so), but the swing isn't going to stop because of it. Might want to take that into consideration.

Just because it's a spiked -club- doesn't mean it's any less lethal. Would Andrew climb around a sword like that? ;)

[Skallagrim]

Equality of posts unless you are exterting strength greater than his all things are equal.

[Green]

He's in mid-air. Fuchsia jumped up at him and swung his club, using the added momentum and whatnot.

Edit: It would probably be easier to just read the latest posts *Shrug*
