Combatants: @ImportantNobody vs. @LeeRoy
First Post: LeeRoy



Opponents stand across the road. One starts by the lean too the other by the tower in the background across the road. The first poster may choose which side they want to start at. The weather is warm, it is spring time and a slight breeze flutters through the battle ground. The total combat area is roughly 1,200 square yards.

Alright, I'm writing up my post. @ImportantNobody I'm also writing up an exit post, which I'll post after I put in my intro post.

Yeah, I should do it the other way around. But I've kept too many people waiting lately.

[LeeRoy]

@ImportantNobody My first post is up, it's a bit shorter than I wanted it to be. But without my opponent near me, I can't particularly dialogue.

[LeeRoy]

@Skallagrim And at you, the message I will post in the main thread, chronologically will have happened before this post here.

[ImportantNobody]

@LeeRoy @Skallagrim I thought we weren't supposed to start IC here until tomorrow unless intro posts don't count.

[Skallagrim]

No if said earlier today if both parties agreed the fight could start today.

[ImportantNobody]

Okay. No reason why he can't post tonight, then. I may or may not get around to it tonight but will certainly tomorrow unless an alien abduction or some odd situation happens.

[LeeRoy]

@ImportantNobody So you have not yet entered the building, correct?

@LeeRoy

@ImportantNobody Aight, posted.

I'm trying to find out the volume of a longsword to see how fast she could make one. The blade is not too difficult to figure out, I'm just looking at width, height, and thickness. The handle is super tricky and might be left to best guess you think is fair.

EDIT: I got the volume of the blade at 14 cubic inches if it's 35 inches long. She can create 8 cubic inches per second. She'd create the blade in a little under 2 seconds and the handle pushing it not much over 3 seconds, closer to that then 4. Sounds right to you guys? I'll go with that in my post unless you guys have an objection.

EDIT: Wait...how could the cubic inches be smaller than how it is long? Well, it's width and thickness is small so maybe that offsets it severely. Whatever the case, I can't be too far off. Imagining a 2x2x2 cube times 3 and it should fill a sword shaped object up reasonably well.

[LeeRoy]

Just find the volume of a cylinder of comparable length and we'll be golden. I'm not particularly picky on how you do the math.

[ImportantNobody]

I'll have my post out pretty soon now that that's out of the way. Won't be able to post again tonight.

@ImportantNobody You ever realize how hard it is to explain a certain movement that it takes two paragraphs to explain it? Mostly because describing it shortly would lead to a lot of questions about the angle and momentum and such.

@LeeRoy

That's fine. I had the same problem describing her power.

[LeeRoy]

@ImportantNobody

If you need that shortened or explained better, please tell me.

[ImportantNobody]

He's spinning clockwise around while holding the ball upwards by the chain just below the ball so that, when he comes back around to face her, he allows the chain to become free once again so the ball flies towards her, correct?

[LeeRoy]

@ImportantNobody Entirely correct.

[ImportantNobody]

Judging by how long it would take him to complete what he was saying and reach her, it would probably be around 7 seconds or so?

[LeeRoy]

@ImportantNobody Just about.
