[OOC] RPGuild Ranked Tournament - Tuujaimaa vs. Melonhead

[MelonHead]

It means that I'm not metagaming - simple.

Touho is pretty much a counter to everything Jok does. It is unfortunate for Melon, yes, but that is how the dice were rolled and that's just how it is.

@Tuujaimaa

It's interesting you say Jok, when you mean every character in this tournament.

As far as I can tell, none of the melee centric characters can fly, essentially rendering you immune to all but ranged characters, which you also have an invulnerable shield for.

[Tuujaimaa]

Apologies for the late reply - I've been sick recently and am only just recovering.

I'll get a reply up when I'm able.

@Melonhead: As far as I can tell, you don't have the time necessary to react with the way your current post is worded. I had my actions take place in the same time frame as your post before mine (and gave a specific reference point just for ease of use) in which events occur such that I'm throwing the wind bomb as you're beginning to backpeddle in that post.

You don't have the time necessary to complete the actions of your most recent post in this event, and I was wondering if you wanted to edit to fix the predicament?

[MelonHead]

Your character reacted to bullets bouncing off your shield, it says so in your post, that gave him plenty of time to flee your attack. You didn't have the information required to infer what my character was doing, I only said he immediately dropped low and prepared to relocate on completing pulling the trigger, he didn't even wait to see the effect of his attack, I didn't state he would be slowly back-pedalling away for the next five seconds.

Regardless, Jok running away from an A.O.E attack is far less bullshit than your character's instant ability to spot -bullets- (with no muzzle flare) and launch a pinpoint attack, but you don't see me complaining. Call in Innue if you have a problem with it, I'm not arguing with you.

[Tuujaimaa]

After firing he had immediately dropped low and shuffled backwards, moving further into foliage to cover his relocation.

@MelonHead

Could you clarify this for me, please? I understood this as crouching and backpeddling given that you haven't talked about turning in another direction or moving in any other way, and shuffling implies a lower speed?

@Tuujaimaa

I didn't specify any distance, it only suggests my character moved backwards as cover and then relocated, which can mean any movement. Your character had no vision of my own, and therefore had no right to be reacting to his movements in her attacks, though I notice she still conveniently launched her attack in the area you presumed I was moving to, rather than trying to fire at the spot I was in.

You made your assumption, turns out it was wrong, my character took a step back and then ran off at a diagnol, as was fully acceptable under the description of 'relocation'

Okay, here is the timeline as I am understanding it:

You fire at me in three quick bursts. With the speed of the shots, I imagine that the first bullets would hit before you fired your last set of them. At your last burst of shots, I react to this by throwing the Namida no Fuujin at a tree at a central location approximately ten feet behind the first line of trees. During this time, you crouch and begin moving backwards (the specifics of which are still a point of contention).

Based on how this is running, and given that you have a four second time to achieve maximum speed (as stated in your bio), I am arguing that you can't have moved the distance you're claiming to given the timeline established above.

The primary point of contention is your lack of specification of distance and apparent desire to vaguely define your movement and then fill in the gap as appropriate in a later post. In my experience of combat, failing to define something allows the next player to define it - and while I am not attempting to define how you moved, my understanding of it was that you were backpeddling (which my post and thus assumption of the timeline is based on) and that that is the definition that would stick in my past experience.

[MelonHead]

I didn't have to be specific with my movements, your character has no reasonable way to react to them, and therefore your request for them suggests you wanted to meta-game. (before you argue that it allows me to avoid your attack in a meta-gaming fashion, the location in which you launched your attack is also pretty obvious meta-gaming, but w/e, it also completely disregards my description of the denseness of the forest, by leaving a ten foot gap between trees.)

Your view of the timeline is skewed but hey ho, I made a whole response to your post but as I said earlier I'm not going to argue, contact Innue and have a judgement made. Innue can have fun trying to discern how your abilities allowed you to detect the angle of bullets being fired, and how quickly your character can fire her air ball (which is obviously said in your sheet, being all clued up on details and not vague at all, right.)

And frankly, if you had an issue with the term 'relocate' you should have said something last post, rather than reacting to it.

[Innue]

Ruling will be issues tonight.
