I play a lot of Pokémon Ultra Moon. If you have any requests for specific eggs/babies, let me know and I will see what I can do.

Lot of old folks I knew in the past are checking me out. I wonder what they are plotting. :3

I wonder how I should address all the shade people have thrown at me during my time away. My mind says to let it go, but my heart says "with a chainsaw". Decisions.

Bio

Oh, you want to know about me? Not sure why, but ok.

A long time ago, in a bedroom far far away... my mommy met my daddy... and they did it.

What? Not that far back? Oh. Ok.

I'm a mechanic by trade, though a work-related injury nearly a decade ago has really hampered my life since. I'm what some would call a folkish heathen, if matters of spirituality interest you... though I lean more toward tribal rather than folkish. I live in Cleveland, have a nice little apartment in a decent neighborhood, and have two cats.

As far as RP? I like things with anime elements to them, as well as modern and traditional fantasy. Not interested in romance or furry or anything like that. Miss me with that stuff.

I'm brash. I do not sugar coat things. I will call people out on things. I will likely frustrate you at some point. ... however, I am one hell of a loyal person, should I ever decide you are a friend.

So there it is, I guess.

The only reason you think it´s metagaming is because you felt the need to state the details of your upcoming attack. I would have done the exact same thing in that kind of situation regardless of Ysolda channeling or not.

So when Ysolda reached the mecha, my options really only came down to one. Bail the mecha and blow it, continuing the fight with the jet if I had to (removing the speed disadvantage), because there is no way the mecha can harm Ysolda in it´s current position unless it blows up.


You, sir... are so full of shit that I can smell you through this computer. You have a 400 foot long tail on a mech 1/10th the size I thought it was. That tail could EASILY have swung around and hit Ysolda. Adding to the fact that everyone here seems to think you're either an idiot or a metagamer for neglecting the fact your mech had HUNDREDS of sensors and cameras on it to see Ysolda... the fact you would also suddenly forget the 400 foot tail that you had JUST used against Erde... is pretty damning. So... regardless of what Ysolda was doing, you could have easily attacked her without nuking yourself.

GG.

Ok quickly. It isn't metagaming if Edmund decides to eject from the Hellhound. You point out that Green did this after you told him the effects of the spell, but you already described the action in the IC as something Edmund should notice. Assuming, Green changes his post and notices Ysolda on the Hellhound. Edmund would still be fine in ejecting out of the Hellhound if he feared Ysolda might kill him. You might be angry that Edmund "ran away", but the action itself can't be considered metagaming.


If he had no other option but to run, then sure. But given the facts stated above... it may not TECHNICALLY be metagaming if he changes it to notice her... but it WOULD be complete and utter bullshit and everyone would know it.
I was a nice guy and informed people of the spell that I was preparing and the effects it had, as there was a small dispute in regard to my charging AND evading in the same post... plus as a fan of more cinematic combat I didn't mind giving people something to visualize... and immediately after, Green makes a post that says "LOL I'm out. Have fun with this fucking nuke." ... disregarding the immense amount of sensory equipment that thing has, saying he 'lost track of her'... on top of the fact that her aura is stupidly bright and would give her away like hiding a light-bulb behind a sheet of cardboard... something about seeing the light around it and all...

As a whole, it screams the following: "That spell will fuck my shit up and bad. I better figure out a way to gtfo. Oh shit, but if I leave, I lose. Better use something that fucks them over after I leave."
I COULD do that. But unlike some people, I don't metagame bullshit like that. My character doesn't know about a nuke, can't affect the unknown nuke, and can't stop a nuke from detonating.

I COULD survive it by using the armored leg-plate as a shield, given it is large enough to cover her, and stated by Green to be able to withstand a nuke detonating against it... but I point you to the lack of fucks I have left to give due to being metagamed against.
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.

Quit it, swabs.

If i were Green, i wouldn't try what he did there, simply beacause i like my characters to epicly win completely on their own, or die horribly for failing to do so. But as i am just a bystander here, my only argument against that decision is that such a trick is indeed close to metagaming, introducing a third side to the battle, akin to when Khazna made his way out of Leeroy's explosion: something seemingly unacceptable during a fight, yet used twice already in the finale. The battle ensues between a fixed number of characters, and any NPC's are either summoned with an ability, or made zero-tier (unable to affect the battle's flow). But here, a character hastily brought into action actualy becomes a gamechanger, allowing for both murder and escaping. Maybe this isn't a rule yet, but it sure seem's like it should be.

Sure, this is getting old, but we can still prevent such things from happening in the future, rite?


This point was not addressed in any way shape or form.
When in doubt, blame Beta
Wunderbar. Then perhaps my character could be the cocky 1st Year OR your 2nd Year guy could be bullying new people.
Very well. I can respect that.

But before I go and finish my character, Is it acceptable to have a 1st year as a C6? I have a reason why he's a little more skilled, but can easily tone him down if such a level of skill is against what you had in mind. I just wanted him to kinda be a middle-ground compared to the badasses and weaklings..
So. Epic-Level Sparring Match between Weiss and The Principal?
I suppose it makes sense if the Principal is a total badass, and she was trained by him.

Anyways, I FINALLY settled on a style for my student character. Hapkido.
