[OOC] Hearts of Metal: A Giant Robot/Mecha RP

@Penultimate_Pi
It's fine, but "ruining the integral point" could be elaborated on: Diver, while a weak Framewerk, does damage when hitting her opponent's weak points, partially ignoring their armor. Unless you imply that the thrusters are now malfunctioning with the "no turning back from the tackle" line.

@LHG100
Sure, if you want to.

@Ariamis
Quick clarification, both Archer and Roxy have posted going to the tower. It might have been in PM or edited away, but how many people can be on the tower at once?

[Penultimate_Pi]

@Ariamis I guess I'm not exactly sure what your referring to when you're talking about 'a joint between the Caliburn's chassis and the thruster systems.' Compared to the human body, would this be a point on the lower spine or something? I'll gladly edit my post to be more specific if I know this.

[Ariamis]

@Penultimate_Pi
If the thrusters are located on the lower spine of the Framewerk, then sure. Diver basically shot the part where the thrusters are attached to Caliburn.

[Penultimate_Pi]

@Ariamis Ah, alright. I imagine Caliburn's main thrusters are on either side of the spine, about where the shoulder blades taper off. So that's basically shooting her in the back to clip her wings. I'll edit that post, then.

...and there. After this, her thrusters will outright detonate if she tries using them again.

[Ariamis]

@knighthawk
Only one Framewerk can stand on top of the tower at any time. However, Roxy is at the base of the tower and leaning on it with his back, so technically he's still in the previous zone.

@Ariamisfyi I didn't actually get on the pillar in zone g, I am just at the bast of it. I kinda foresaw the "target on a flagpole" issue. Still, I think that the Anzu should still have a shot at the Archer. I just wanted to tell you for continuity's sake.

[Ariamis]

@redbaron1234
Well, you wrote that you went to zone G, and the top of the pillar is the only place you can go in zone G. By going to the base of it, you are still technically in zone A and didn't leave it. Do you want me to change the post to account for that, or are you fine with Archer moving to the top?

[redbaron1234]

@Ariamis Yeah I didn't realize that the pillar was THAT big. It would explain why you can't do two turn travel through G though.I would prefer to stay at the base of the pillar in zone A. The Anzu should still have a good shot if it is in the lake area.

I wish I had hashed out how the Anzu's and the Archer's weapons systems compare to each other with @Cassowarysaur before he left for vacation, but I doubt that it will matter in this particular battle.

[Ariamis]

@redbaron1234
Edited the post.

[redbaron1234]

@Ariamis I see it. Quick question, from how many zones away can we shoot at something?

[Ariamis]

@redbaron1234
Depends on the weapons and terrain. Anzu and Archer are both long-range specialists, and thus can reliably hit a zone or two away. By the way, Archer's main cannon was disabled in case you were planning to counter-attack. Also, your turn came up.

[knighthawk]

I understand the GM ruling, but isnt that an autohit with no chance?

[Ariamis]

@knighthawk
As GM it is my right to decide whether an attack hits or not, and in the case of this attack I have deemed it to hit. Considering the time Yeshua has been out of the action, left uninterrupted and given time to plan his moves, he would successfully hit against a Heavy-class who was distracted by a previous fight, and didn't even consider an attack from the lake. There's also the location of Archer's main weapon to consider, which is easier to hit than a humanoid Frame's hand-held rifle.

[Cassowarysaur]

I am really enjoying how well the Anzu is doing, I will be returning in around less than a week, so don't get the machine destroyed in that time!

[Ariamis]

@DarkRecon can post now.

[redbaron1234]

@Ariamis I think we might have to wait a bit on him. He has been gone for four days apparently.

[Ariamis]

@redbaron1234
He's been gone for multiple days constantly, no surprises there. If he wants an exception on the waiting rule made on his place I can listen, but for now he's going to follow the sume rules as everyone else.

[DarkRecon]

-_______-' *sweatdrop*....I've been bad....I'll post now...but why do I feel like I'm going to be lynched from this...

[Ariamis]

@DarkRecon, no Framewerk has been at zone G. You need to edit your post.
