So what I'm hearing is..."Beta, shut up. You're new here and we don't like you as much as we like Green. We know him, we don't know you. So stfu.

"Glad we sorted that all out.Ysolda is dead because I have no fucks to give about that planet or fight. I was fucked the instant I was forced to tell everyone about the spell I was using... the one called "Total Annihilation."... because then Green used his friend status to not-metagame some bullshit and simultaneously escape from AND nuke my character after his sensors magically failed to notice that she was right next to him. So yeah. She's dead. Fuck metagamers.

Well, I was saying you could simply say the Hellhound failed to detonate since Green didn't describe his character that well...(>.>)...

What thread did this fight even take place in?


Necropolis

This point was not addressed in any way shape or form.


I had a long discussion about that two years ago with Skallagrim. I was more adventurous back then. Hehe. You can make characters and describe the world anyway you wish, but without preps they can be defeated in a similar manner, creating characters to counter their characters or have them instantly drop dead from an unknown disease they picked up a few hours ago, but forgot to mention.

It is bad form to do this when it borders insanity, saying the internal core of a planet suddenly explodes, but in this case, the fact that there is a carrier nearby relaying commands from his HQ to the Hellhound. It is a reasonable move to make and one that can easily be brushed off since you can justifiably disarm the nuclear primer , sabotage/interrupt his escape pod as it launches, or scramble his control systems using your powers. You both haven't really described your powers enough to justify why any of this can't happen. So really leaves how you counter him up to your imagination.
I need someone to help me test how the combat would work for a character I have made for another RP. It'll be a friendly 5-10 post fight. I only ask that the character you use is around the same level as mine.

Ok, so from what I understand. The issue is that Green decided to suddenly eject from his mech and escape from injury in mid-battle. Beta feels that it is cheap move etc… I’ll address what I saw from the fight and characters.

First, I’ll state there is a lot of ambiguity with the nature of Beta’s powers. I had to go through the character’s history to get a sense of what essences and the stuff the character was using. The character sheet gave a lot of details on what the abilities did, but not how it did them. So I’m not going to fault Green if he got confused on what was going on. Anything Beta doesn’t describe in his previous posts doesn’t exist for his character.

That said Green is also at fault for not describing, unless I missed it somewhere, two things about his mecha. That is his mech has a forcefield and sensors so numerous he did not bother describing all of them in his sheet. So the action that should have happened when Ysolda tried to grapple the hellhound was that an invisible barrier should have knocked her back or created an impact strong enough to alert Edmund that something was trying to bust through and latch onto the Hellhound.

The second inconsistency is that there the numerous sensors on the Hellhound. It not well described how the sensors work on the Hellhound, but it’s safe to assume that the “numerous” redundant systems were intended to cover any blind spots in the other “sensors”. That is if you are invisible. The hellhound should still have thermal vision to pinpoint your location. The 360 degree range should mean means there should be no blind spots on the mech where someone can approach without a little red beep alerting Edmund that something is coming towards him.

So there should be no logical reason unless Edmund had stated his mech was malfunctioning or if it was purposely sabotaged by an enemy ability for him not to realize that Ysolda was still alive and trying to latch on to the Hellhound. I saw no attempt by anyone to sabotage the Hellhound’s sensor so I’m going to assume it’s in pristine shape. So, those are two reasons why whatever happened shouldn’t have happened.

Assuming those are fixed, Edmund can still say “oh shit”, abandon the mech, and nuke the place. Those actions are fine. His reasoning, HQ calling him telling to leave, is also fine. It happens in the real world when you are sent off to repair something and get a call back later that the order got canceled. His character “agreeing” to leave despite being a homicidal freak is also fine. His personality states he has a fear of abandonment. I’m sure if it was described more fully in the thread. People would agree Edmund would bail a place if he thought he might be left behind.

Conclusion:
How people described their interactions in this thread with the Hellhound are all wrong based on the Hellhound’s description. Edmund can abandon his mech as it fits his personality for the situation.

There is one point of contention. Whether or not the Hellhound should even be able to receive a transmission from the HQ in a full on battle zone. One could argue the transmission(radio waves/energy particles / etc…) could have been scrambled by aura coming out of Ysolda. But seeing as the fact was never brought up. This is the decision I have reached.

Let me know if I have any of the facts wrong.
Ok the fun begins I guess. I'm halfway through reading and will be done soon.
Holy Cow! It's a time machine! Now I can search up that old roleplaying site I used to frequent when I was a kid. Nostalgia wave activate.
Okay, I'll take a look at it and have something up by tonight.
Any word on where Slade has been? I'm still in a limbo waiting for his ya or nay on Brysen and Graham.

While it won't be from Skall, I suppose it's better than ranting and raving... as all that gets me is people basically saying "Shut up, Beta" and "Leave Green alone." So sure, feel free to review the fight and the OOC Information that led up to it. I'd say it's about 7 or 8 pages back.


Need a link to the characters and IC.
