[OOC] One Piece: New Age

[Archmage MC]

<Snipped quote by Archmage MC>

Soon, yes.

I am waiting to see wether or not Digizel posts in two days. You can make a CS after that.

@Jensoman

Send an [@] thingy when that happens.

[Jensoman]

@Archmage MC

Alright, we have two spots open now. You can make a CS if you want.

However, no Toons allowed. The character you wanted to sign up before is still not allowed in.

If you get a new character that's reasonable and isn't overpowered, we may approve of it.

Same rules. No Mythical Zoan or Logia types.

Ya might want to read the rules at the first page of the OOC.

[Jensoman]

@Leaves

We're accepting characters again, so you can make a CS if ya want :P

Try to post at least once a day, though.

You should give the rules on the first page of the OOC a read too.

[malmshodes]

So are we back to posting once a day again or can I go ahead and do another post?

[Jensoman]

Nah, go ahead and make another post if you want.

I mean, I want peeps to make at LEAST one post each day, so basicly peeps could post as much as they want every day.

But they shouldn't spam post, of course.

[Leaves]

Amazing. I'll try to make a character probably tomorrow; I have to find what's cooking in the ol' noggin. I can do with posting once a day; weekends will be tricky though.

@Leaves

Aight, cool!

[IceHeart]

Right, so since our Cap is now dead, how are we gonna decide the next one?

[Jensoman]

Well, any of you guys can take the captain role if you wish. But then someone else would have to take THAT person's previous role.

I'd assume that Asus would be the one who decides where the ship goes for now, as Navigator.

I could make one of the other two people who will join the RP captain. Because you guys already have a set role.

We'd require a Captain and Doctor again.

[Archmage MC]

OK. So here are the fruit powers I'm playing around with.

1. Regeneration
2. Quantum Fields
3. Portals

Which one do you want?

@Archmage MC

Well.

Regeneration...I'm probably not going to allow that. It kind of defeats the purpose of having a Doctor on the crew. And it would be way too convenient during combat situations.

Quantum Fields..perhaps, but I'd need a clear explanation of what the character would be able or not be able to do.

Portals, not fully fond of the idea but it COULD work. They'd need to have a limited range and probably limited usage so portals cannot be spammed.

I'll discuss this with my Co-GMs. I may change my mind in the future with the replies I've given, but right now this is my current opinion.

@Jensoman

Well for now I think Zypha will kind of take on the Captain role for a bit, at least temporarily. Or maybe eventually permanently depending on what happens.

@IceHeart

Hey, no objections there.

If peeps have no problem with Zypha being captain, that works for me!

[Archmage MC]

So, how detailed do you want me to get with the whole quantum fields thingy?

TDLR version would be able to manipulate how much or how little a field affects something. More complicated stuff would be basically theoretical quantum physics classes. xD

I'm not really interested much anymore though, considering you seem to be super intent on making everyone either A. braindead or B. super limited.

Course TBH every RP has to make everyone braindead because its super easy to break anything with a bit of brainpower. xD

Only other thing I've been playing around with, but I don't know how long I'd wanna play it, is a plaguebringer. Could be a doctor no problem, but any doctor type character is inherantly OP since they HAVE to know anatomy, and well... its super super easy to kill things when you know exactly where to hit.

[Hatman1801]

@Archmage MCIf you don't want in, you don't want in. The point of making people limited early on though is to allow for growth. If everyone just starts off as extremely powerful and adept with their powers, then the issue of keeping things interesting involves making characters that are just impractically powerful, or throwing in deus ex machinas. I don't think anybody wants these things. There are going to be fights that are lost so the protagonists have a set goal and realization that they need to improve.

No, characters don't have to be braindead. It's easy to know how to overcome something with a bit of brainpower. That's why your opinion on doctors is that they're OP.

But sure, I could know where to strike a pressure point or tendon to disable someone. Can I though? I would have dedicated a good portion of my life to learning this shit in the first place, I'm not about to be some high-speed super-powerful ninja. They move three centimeters to the left and suddenly I've just poked them hard instead of accomplishing disabling them. I could have brewed myself up a fancy toxin that could kill someone in minutes. Does that mean I'm going to be able to inject it into someone's bloodstream in the heat of combat? Am I going to be able to get through armor?

I think you're less upset about assuming people to be braindead, and more upset that you can't reasonably pretend to be intelligent and overpowered.

Now then, I don't know about the other GMs, but I'd rather not have a pompous ass in the RP anyway. Good day to you.

[Archmage MC]

I'm more upset TBH that everything is hinging on combat and pointing out its stupid to even bother trying to balance it as anyone can beat anything with a bit of brainpower.

Hence why DnD has dicerolls and stats, math and luck at least gives a semblance of balance.

Also the toxin thing, anyone can do. One Piece is horribly regulated so all you need is a bit of cyinide and GG anything thats not Brook, Magellen, or a pacifista.

[Jensoman]

I agree with everything Hatman said.

You stated that you're not interested anymore, and Hatman doesn't want you in.

And I'd rather not have you in, too. Good day sir.

[Duthguy]

@Archmage MC

That is something I disagree with, let's use this rp as an example Asus has to be somewhat smart because his devils fruit gives him control over ordinary hornets if he could use 1000's from the start than he could act braindead and still be a force to be reckoned with. Satoru had to be smart about what material he used to coat himself as earth and wood would be too weak. Lenwood had showed he was pretty smart with the flyer trick. Of course the same thing goes for their players as they were the ones who came up with the plans.

@Duthguy

Thing is, they're sorta... limited in what they can do. Hornet guy (Or anyone really) can just have them go for eyes or do stuff from a slasher flick with them, kidney shots are pretty bad too. dunno if material guy can use composite materials or only single ones, but getting ahold of say a sapphire or diamond should be laughably easy. Dunno what your talking about with the flyer trick. Doing any of this stuff makes fights a lot, lot easier, and thats not even going for straight up lethal.

Though tbh its not all their fault too, the source material is very bad at this too. Law can deal internal damage and is a doctor, AND gets the opportunity to do said internal damage to Doffy, yet doesn't sever his aeorta or turn his heart to ribbons? The only time I saw the show do anything super smart was Skypeia with that guy who used a combination of a super dial and sea prism stone to kill the lightning guy, who also smartly defibrillated his own heart.

@Archmage MC

I have a feeling people would absolutely stomp you in the arena.
