We don't need more Chaos, lest it becomes the new Order of the universe.

@Scarifar

Hmm, its between @Kho, @Rtron, and @Hael.

[Double Capybara]

@BBeast the size of the punch doesnt matter. Kho himself said something on the matter of nukes making clear that what counts is the might usage

[BBeast]

@Double Capybara, this is true.

But it's so much more fun when I can compare it to actual numbers.

Speaking of numbers, Jvan's relativistic hyper-punch (continuing my assumption of 0.99c) still delivered about nine or ten orders of magnitude less energy than that required to blow up a moon like Vestec did earlier (based on our Moon's gravitational binding energy). Fun fact. (And a reminder that Might is not simply energy)

[Antarctic Termite]

@Rtron@Double Capybara@BBeast

Ok ok so! BBeast's number-working is really cool, and there is the Might-for-Might combat rule, but it looks like you might still like a word from me.

narrative is everything

Personally, I don't mind how Rtron chooses to have Vestec respond to the relativistic hyper-punch itself. If Might gets spent to shield him, that's fine, and if not, that's fine too. From a narrative perspective, what matters is that Jvan panicked and booted Vestec as far away from Slough as she could do in a moment's notice. We know that Jvan doesn't fuck around too much with sympathy for the pain of others (see Hefin, Basheer, the Rovaick, and even her interactions with Slough herself) and considers Vestec an unpredictable traitor to his own identity. She wouldn't hold back, and she wouldn't want him coming back immediately either, as we well know he's capable of doing for free at any time. So, while he'll survive whether or not he's Might-ing for that shield, the question of whether the Might is appropriate or not depends more on how successful she was in setting him up so that he doesn't come back within a few minutes.

If he doesn't pop back up immediately, then that means that Jvan was successful in her Might use, and suggests that Vestec didn't use his own to counter it at whatever stage. If he does, though, then Jvan was unsuccessful, so that implies a counter (in this case the shield).

Reading Vestec's response:

BOOM!

Vestec exploded on the other side of the planet, evaporating hundreds of gallons of water in an instant. Of course, the waters all around him began to flood in to fill where the water had gone, but the Metatic ocean wouldn't be the same level for many years. Without missing a beat, Vestec drove himself through the planet, tearing a small hole through it and appearing back where he had been. "That was rude."

@Rtron

Vestec didn't feel pain (fair enough) and wasn't slow to return (also fair), but he didn't have to use Might to heal himself or teleport back in. That suggests that the shield successfully blocked at least some of Jvan's effort, so in this case, the Might point is better off spent.

We don't need more Chaos, lest it becomes the new Order of the universe.

@Scarifar

The irony of perspective: Jvan currently considers Vowzra to be the worst and least predictable of the Chaos gods, and is fighting the Zephyrion's elementals for adhering to the Natural Order.

The world is topsy-turvy.

[LokiLeo789]

Alright, chosen, it as requested, ya'll gomna have another friendly Chaos god to deal with. Didn't want 3 creation gods. You cool with that @Rtron?

@Antarctic Termite

The second level of irony is that she doesn't even understand what they mean by the Naural Order, which is probably for the better. The elementals don't follow the Natural Order as some sort of dogma or ideology; rather, their will is the Natural Order and it's like their claim to Divine Mandate. They represent nature and so derive their authority from themselves just like Zephyrion does when he tells everyone that he's the Supreme Being.

Basically, as forces of nature itself they'll do whatever they want and justify it as being part of nature's decree.

[OldManWong]

Still here, but I might end up dropping since I'm so painfully far behind.

[Legion02]

Yup, still here. Not going to drop out but I'm going to wait with posting until either Friday or the weekend.

[Double Capybara]

Just felt like sharing this

[Kho]

Still here, but I might end up dropping since I'm so painfully far behind.

@OldManWong

You joined in a bit late in the last one too, but I think you were perfectly fine for the most part. It's your call, but I'd be sad if you end up having to drop out after such a long wait.

[Kho]

Guys, for some reason the Guild is bugging ridiculously on my end, can hardly get from page to page or post. Is it just me or is this the same for everyone? I'm assuming it's to do with Maz's updates and whatnot, but it's gotten far worse today than it has been any other day

@Kho

Same for me. Took me several tries to write that last post in response to Termite, and then it became a double post as you saw. Couldn't even edit out the second one

@Kho

Everyone's having the same problem. At least, I am.

[LokiLeo789]

I think the sites good now.

[Double Capybara]

I will proof read my post tomorrow.

@Scarifar I did a lot with angels, if anything is abnormally wrong, please say so I can fix/rewrite the post.

The same applies to anyone really, I'm always open to changing the way I do things if it means a better RP for everyone.

I'm just happy I will finally get into some Raka action as well as having the stuff to post about while my three moose are locked on the collab with Poog the pogo.

[BBeast]

The nuclear fusion explosion from Vestec emerging in the ocean probably wouldn't produce too many radioisotopes, so we wouldn't have too much to worry about from lingering radioactivity. I'd be more concerned about just the massive eruption-tsunami-explosion, which would be devastating in and of itself.

No, I have study to do. I need to stop that thought there.

[BBeast]

@Cyclone@Kho, I've checked my Might. Teknall had 12.5 Might before Turn 6. As he is at level 4, he gains 7 MP per turn, plus 2.5 MP from the Celestial Citadel. This puts him at 22, not 24.5.

Also, will Gerrik ever get any Khookies? http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/3531284

[OldManWong]

I'd like to join back into the fray, but it's going to take me some time since coming right out of graduation is proving more hectic than expected
