Something around those lines, yes. But I've been fairly polite, I feel. Haven't attacked you personally and have been trying to talk with you and others in order to clear up unclear bits and get you room to do the things you wanted Meilin to do: stop a fight, deliver a sermon. Other people, the GM included, are giving you plenty of reasons why your character can and should act in this situation. And yet here you are, grasping at straws for reasons as to why your character wouldn't do these things after complaining about feeling left out and not getting to do them.

Of course it is. But if you choose not to then you kinda, you know, don't have room to complain about feeling left out and not being able to do things like you were doing. Because you were given ample room to do so.

The throwing star hit him on his groin, making him fall on the ground, but not before letting out a very dangerous looking heat wave in the direction of the panda boy, the big guy and a brown haired girl that was nearby them.
She didn't knew if was because of how dangerous that heat wave looked, or because she had an particular interest on two of the three students that were nearby, but she had to do something.

@13org

Your character takes a look at and understands Brock's powers going by your own post, so that's not an issue. Meilin can step in because she saw him fire some form of heat wave and wants to stop him from doing something potentially dangerous with his powers. There's also Akiko trying to start a fight with Brock who, by the rules of the game, is eliminated and should be left alone as he steps outside and goes back to his end of the field. Brock, meanwhile, is in fact trying to fight back against this teenage girl with his dangerous powers that Meilin already saw. You've got three perfectly valid reasons for a teacher to intervene here, m8.

You could step in to stop Akiko from punching a downed guy that already took one to the plums and also stop Brock from trying to fry students and give them both a lecture. That's a very teacherly thing to do. Just saying.

Alrighty then, there we go. Not sure if edited mentions ping alerts so @Azereiah, @Dblade26, @CondorTalon, check the last post if they didn't take.

Zeke had never been too adverse to enjoying other people's misfortunes and his awful, awful day had only made him all the more open to watching a kid beaning some glowing guy on the junk with whatever he was throwing. Yeah, this kid was pretty okay. They were gonna have to have a talk about sharp things though. All that, however, would have to wait and now it was time to get serious. At least that was what every fiber of his body was telling him. He had been keeping a very close, very trained eye on Brock, he knew before that getting too close to him was probably bad news in some way and now he knew something was up.

It wasn't any conscious knowledge of what was happening, because Ezekiel still hadn't quite wrapped his head around powers and he had no idea how Brock's functioned. To him it simply felt like every time he fought. Maai, the distance of engagement, the angles of attack. It was like understanding that a punch or a kick or the stroke of a weapon was coming, where it was aimed at and how it'd reach that target. He had no idea this was his power, an extension of his dedication to the martial arts. He just knew that this was dangerous and he had to act, that there was no time to even scream at that other girl to leave the guy alone.

The thing about seeing an attack coming and understanding, on some level, where and how it'll hit you relating to your own ability to dodge it, is that it makes it much easier to react appropiately. You seem much faster than you are because you're not reacting once it's already happened, you're removing that split second lag that favors the attacker. And Zeke moved decisively, without hesitation. Before the heat beam reached the group he already had his arms around Musashi and Rumi. Before it had a chance to hit them he'd already dived with all his might and dragged them out of the way, throwing himself and the kids down to the ground away from the danger.

He felt the heat nearby, and only when he knew the danger had more or less passed he raised his head to look at where the group had been standing, near the flag. The pole looked a bit dryer but that was about it. Well. That had been an overreaction, then. Letting go of the other two, Zeke turned around, sat up, and screamed to no one in particular: "Hah, that was it?! No, wait, what the fuck was that?!".

@13org
Well, I stick by my call that criticism and discussion shouldn't be taken as a personal attack. To wit: Your character will get to do what you wanted her to instead of suddenly doing nothing at all.

@Azereiah
Right, you got superspeed punched. Well I need to go out for a jog and get some stuff done but I figure I'll have a post up tonight. Idea being Zeke understands what's coming and grabs both @Dblade26 and @CondorTalon's characters and gets them out of the way because responsible adult, then Brock can try to pick a fight and Meilin can do her thing. Since the characters are kinda clustered around the flag, would the heat wave ignite the fabric even a little bit?

@tipssyCalibrator
Well, this did all start because I didn't know the distances involved and how plausible it all would be so getting player opinions on the situation seemed ideal. Especially since it's something that involves two or potentially three characters not my own.

@Azereiah
Oh cool, yeah, I didn't see the post edit. No warnings for that and all.

@13org
Yes, I'm happy, actually, because the situation was resolved and you get to do things that you wanted to do within one set of posts and it didn't end with you just deleting your post and going away. That wouldn't solve jack shit. No I don't have a problem with you or your character, if I did I would've told you about it and wouldn't have tried to keep you active in the game.

So yes, problem solved, everyone gets to do cool things that they wanted to do in the game without stepping on eachother's toes or overstepping character boundaries. That's gucci.

You insist the situation is solved by you going away not doing things and I've told you that I'm insisting on this because that was never the point at all. You don't have to be left out, your character can do things. Me and others have given you ways to still do the exact same things you wanted to do. The exact same things you wrote, just in a way that fits what your character can do and leaves room for other people to do their own things in a sensical manner and order.

I don't know how much clearer that can be. Everyone is cool with you doing things and no one's telling you not to post. At most, we're telling you to give others the chance to post when it makes sense for them to do so. You are actively choosing to feel upset about a non-issue here. We're asking you to come out and play, just following the same rules as everyone else, and you're choosing not to.
