what i meant was that had vordak not skipped over the effects of the net then the roots would have hit in the second post when the effects would be wearing off. giving him that one post to try dodging it. thinking about it i find what you said hard to dispute, due to the implied short length of time that his post takes up. but since the actions that control the roots are mental rather than physical it's possible that he could have activated and either dodged or blocked the attack out of reflex, after all he grew up as a hunter/warrior so concentrating like that while fighting would be second nature to him as he needs to do so to gather his natural energy.

and vordak even though the first two quotes were from earlier they are more than valid to prove the point i needed them to. in the previous posts i mentioned you used mainly if not only the strength and momentum of your fighters arms and sword for the heavy attack that you stated was to much for him to stop. in the newer post you have your entire body's momentum (which to pull off the move you're saying he did would have accelerated from nothing to at least 20meters a second) ((something i'm honestly finding hard to believe he could do even with that strength)) plus the strength and weight of his arms and sword. with the added momentum of the leap that sword should be in the ground due to the limitations you stated your character had.

i wasn't going to make mention of this since i didn't want to make another fuss and i wanted to try staying impartial here.... but the net activates at the same time as max dodges. and with how you've worded the time zoning for your post as it is now (read it just before posting this) you've left it to your next turn that the net effects you and you're completely open to the wooden roots trapping you in my post. leaving you both in the full effect of the net effectively weakening your fighter and the trap closing on him that was otherwise going to hit when your character was going to be getting power back to his body.

and with the momentum behind the sword that you mentioned previously as being more than your fighter could stop there would be no way that he is completely reversing the direction of the sword after putting even more momentum and power into it.

"continuing the wild counter-clockwise spin with his now free left leg, bringing it forth and covering the distance Max had put between them, while cleaving the sword downwards in a diagonal slash, even more power behind this than his first strike."

" Bulat's tip burried itself into the ground, even his beastly might not enough to immeditely halt the swing's momentum, and as the demon bolted, catching up on Max, it left a deep blew up the soil, leaving a deep gash and surfacing roots"

"Rauchnaut covered the 20 meter - a petty distance for artificial muscle - in one powerful jump, and threw a downwards diagonal slash once again, aiming to hit Max just as he reached the ground."

and even if you say he was on the ground when he threw the attack, physics would have max on the ground by then and easily able to dodge.

i think you should have another go at a post vordak. cos i can see at least one major issue with it. not counting the fact that you completely undermined my post to the point of making all but the parts you chose not happen. something i've noticed you do on a lesser scale at least twice now.

Max lightly landed and lept to the side quickly, smirking at the net took effect leaving him with drastically slowed reaction times. Bringing lith around he grinned more as the lance formed and it's ability was put to use, the roots of the trees around the two moving under the ground around them. He singled out the roots around his opponent and forced them to grow rapidly directly at the man before he would be able to move out of the way. Doing his best to trap and pull the large man under the ground below him before he got his strength back, any roots that made contact with him just as quickly began to grow on the metallic mans 'skin'.

why has this turned into such a big debate? this is supposed to be a fun fight and honestly i'm tired of trying to argue my point on this. and it's not that i ran out of things to say, i'm just over the debating that came out of this, we've spent over 24 hours now on this and all we've really done is discuss the effects of two non-existent things on another non-existent thing and an existing thing with only the two main people debating really knowing much about the three non-existent things and their properties.

in short i'm giving up this argument. take that how you will, i honestly don't care if you think badly of me or think i'm just quitting cos i didn't get my way.

i said it would have different effects as it would be either more effective or less effective depending on the energy. and with using his race as reference i tried to say that it blocks the electrical energy and also his natural energy abilities. but even if it is mainly electrical based vordak said that the electricity is generated in the muscles which to the mindless energy in the net would be interpenetrated as signals and intercepted as it's generated.

and in a case where your entire body is completely restrained it's going to be a lot harder use the strength you have due to the increased resistance.

as the net is energy based and designed to be more invasive than harmful the armour and insulation would only be a minor obstacle. mainly cos there would be weak points at the joints where the layers would have to be thinner to allow him to move. and it works on any type of energy to varying effects, and with nothing stating otherwise it can only be assumed that the magic devise running the body is exerting energy into the body to get it to move, blocking those signals and having the same effect.

as for the lance in places where the armour is weaker for movement it won't need as much force, and like a drill it will more dig it's way through what armour there is then the pointed tip would either pierce or slip between the tube like parts you said make up the muscles with the same small blades that can 'eat' through the armour shredding them. with essentially two turns to get through that armoring before your character can move again it's not hard to believe that it's possible.

and if more time is needed lith's ability can hold you in place by essentially growing a tree on around you, turning you into part of the root system, massive strength means little if you can't move your body to use it and with the after effect of the net it would gain me a minimum of another turn to drill into him.
