[OOC] Council of the Damned: Anametha (CLOSED)

[Dead Cruiser]

You're not killing Gods, and you're not killing Old Gods unless you have a damn good reason to; for example if they go haywire and decided to kill everything, and not killing one just because you're bored on a Sunday afternoon.

@Carnevile

This is literally what I keep saying. Please read what I'm writing. The OIB doesn't care about the majority of what is on Arkus. The only time they would be brought to action is if a significant global threat is posed, or a threat against their order personally.

[Carnevile]

It's pointless arguing with you... was gonna continue with stuff about how advanced your technology is when guns have only been invented 30 or so years ago, but you'll come back with something that will drag on, so fuck it.

[Dead Cruiser]

I mean, we can discuss it if you want, but I won't concern myself with it if you won't.

[Carnevile]

@Dead Cruiser Discuss it later, currently busy with many other things at the same time.

[Carnevile]

Also, another thing, when I get back on Saturday I'm gonna make a map of Arkus, gonna take a while, but meh.

[Deaddlife]

We are at the point in time where most soldiers still wear armor, there are no mechanized factories, gun based or otherwise. Giant magic cannons are probably fine, however even with a savant designer there are limits to gun feasibility.

@Deaddlife

About what time period are we working with?

@Dead Cruiser

Mid to late 1800's.

@Carnevile

Regardless, I'm not doing very much with guns. They only really appear in the form of huge cannons mounted to huge robots, or smaller cannons mounted to smaller robots. The vast majority of "guns" will be of the magical variety.

[Deaddlife]

@Dead Cruiser That will probably be alright. Despite the advanced time period the point has been made that guns are new, not over 300 years old like our world in the 1800's.

[Dead Cruiser]

Though I will mention that Elsa, the little robot girl, is absolutely packed with guns. She carries two pistol-tonfas, has a machine gun in each arm, and hauls around a huge anti-magic cannon, "Dig Me No Grave."

@Dead Cruiser

Firstly: *facepalm*

Secondly: Despite being high fantasy we do strain for a level of realism, the machine gun arms will either have external ammo attachments like normal or a small internal magazine.

Thirdly: *double-facepalm* That is so anime it burns.

Fourthly: Pistols are probably fine, as for the anti-magic cannon... My first instict is to say no... my second instinct is also to say no... My begrudging answer is that it would operate as a large hand cannon would and since it is anti-magic it can't be magically enhanced in other ways.

Fifthly: *Uuuuuuuuuuuuuultra-facepalm*

@Deaddlife

Cut me a little slack, I'm just having fun. Like I said well before, much of my faction is inspired by a particular Japanese franchise. I literally have giant mechas and we're only mentioning the anime now?

Anyway, yes, the arms have external ammo feeds.

The anti-magic cannon is actually, itself, magic. It resembles a literal cannon, Elsa has to carry it with both hands. It fires a beam designed to disassemble spell matrices, literally dissolving magical entities/structures/what have you that it comes in contact with.

[Carnevile]

The only character I know with guns embedded into their arms is 400+ years in the future after everything's gone to shit. Not revealing anything, 'cause it'd be spoileeers. :V

Anti-magic cannon? No-ish, antimagic does exist with Gods, Old Gods and an upcoming thing... but cannons?

The Order of the Innocent Blade, can make mechanical Gods hundreds of meters high - can't build most guns.

Also fighting extra terrestrial crap? When do we have aliens now? I am actually introducing aliens in a while... but they have no technology aside from a few magic properties.

[Carnevile]

@Dead Cruiser This is fantasy medieval-ish, not Japanese anime.

[Deaddlife]

@Carnevile The anti-magic cannon is just an overly flavor texted version of a wand on dispel magic then. Machine gun arms are depends on the type of machine gun I would think, like what if it was setup Organ-gun style?

[Carnevile]

Your stuff would fit perfectly in another roleplay of mine set after another God War 400 years after the CoTD. Futuristic stuff and whatnot, but this roleplay... the most advanced thing we have is a mechanical dragon, which is still in development.

@Carnevile

She's a robot, with arms with guns in them. They're not cybernetics, that's where Crusade and Conquest come in. Though that's a discussion for another time.

@Carnevile

As I said, the cannon isn't whatever elemental antimagic gods use, it's just a particular kind of magic cannon designed to disrupt other magic.

The Order of the Innocent Blade, can make mechanical Gods hundreds of meters high - can't build most guns.

@Carnevile

This feels like you're pointing out a logical fallacy. Plus, the biggest one is only, like, a hundred meters high. I do have a sense of scale.

Also fighting extra terrestrial crap? When do we have aliens now? I am actually introducing aliens in a while... but they have no technology aside from a few magic properties.

@Carnevile

Shrug. Magic aliums, man. I just imagine H.G. Welles Martians invading as far as this goes. I did ask a while ago about Lovecraftian influence, and aliens are certainly Lovecraftian. But if aliens are a no-go, extradimensional threats are most definitely a thing.

@Dead Cruiser This is fantasy medieval-ish, not Japanese anime.

@Carnevile

Not going to quote the timeframe thing again, but you're about four-hundred years too late for the medieval period. In any case, I have a cast of very western-themed characters (save for Titus and the cyborgs) who stand as references to western fiction. Doctor Weiss and his creations have the most anime influence, if you will, mostly because he's completely off his nut.

Your stuff would fit perfectly in another roleplay of mine set after another God War 400 years after the CoTD. Futuristic stuff and whatnot, but this roleplay... the most advanced thing we have is a mechanical dragon, which is still in development.

@Carnevile

Look, man. I didn't write "Technology" as a tempting tagline on your Int Check. I submitted all of this, and you accepted it. We seem to be having problems now because you didn't look into what I was offering thoroughly enough. It reminds me of something...

Dead Cruiser, you question things too often.

@Carnevile

[Carnevile]

Change the cyborgs, change the giant machines, we will change ALOT of things when I get back on Saturday. I'm gonna help change them with you, and If you're reluctant to do so, get out.

Here's an example for a change to make it compatible, changing these Mechanical Gods to Behemoths that are armed to the teeth with armour, weaponry and whatnot, that'll piss me off less than giant mecha monsters.

Secondly, I had an extremely busy schedule when posting this, hence why the Lore itself isn't fully finished, as well as having to skim read everything including applications. I have to do all my work on an iPad.

[Deaddlife]

*sigh* So much for diplomacy.

@Dead Cruiser You only ever received direct approval from Carnevile in the interest check to write up a application for your faction which would use "mechanical gods". Nothing else was ever given approval. While there are over eight pages at this point during which we have argued the countless points of the Lore and proposed faction you didn't even get a post telling you to post for this RP, you posted directly after Carnevile gave the general go ahead. Your argument that "I submitted all of this, and you accepted it" is without merit.

If we are done stealing the joy from my life I have a heart to bury.

@Carnevile

Well that's already Super Not Going To Work, consider that it is antithetical to everything that I have written about the OIB, down to the very first mention of them in the IntCheck.

@Deaddlife

I'm not an exception here. Unless I'm mistaken, not a single other person was given a specific approval.

Start putting your characters into the "Characters" tab.

@Carnevile

Meaning that their acceptances are exactly as relevant as my own. If we start arguing the invalidity of my acceptance, we refute all of the others.

What this really seems to come down to sounds like this: just because you don't have the time/equipment to manage an RP in depth, it doesn't mean you should try to anyway. Making broad, sweeping announcements and judgements based on limited information results in situations like this.

[Carnevile]

@Dead Cruiser Then get out, I won't have some fuckwit with overpowered shite running rampant. And wow you're really not listening, no wonder you're being removed, and yes, I do admit i didn't read fully through your long ass application, but as I've said thousands of times over. I have been heavily occupied the last week, and will be until this Saturday. now does that get through to your thick skull or do I have to use 6 inch nails and ram them through?
