Actually, I drank Fuzzy Naval and a little bit of Carolyn's. Friend of mine told me Carolyn's tastes just like Bailey's, only cheaper. She was wrong, in a bad way. XP
And thank you so much for all the birthday wishes! >w< I feels loved!

Hmm, I'm trying to decide if it's bad or not when in my government class I actually have the words 'whose task is to protect the space time continuum' under vice presidential duties >.>

And by the way (this is for everyone), there's no reason to rush your posting when you're in a fight. You might end up confusing the other person in the process when you're in a rush. No one's going anywhere and you won't be skipped. Take your time.

>.> errm, actually the you won't be skipped part hasn't been working well
To clarify, it does happen semi often, and not always with negative results... but it sometimes does happen when it shouldn't

Well then I think it should be known right now, if someone has to reply, wait for them to do it.
I noticed that the fighting in Rai Dojo people were sometimes being skipped over. So I understand what you mean when you say that.
But from now ons (directed at everyone who RP's here), if you know that someone is with you at the scene you're RPing in, you wait for them to reply. If they've already taken part in posting, then you have to wait for them.
Unless they specifically said to skip them.
During a fight I think it's common sense to keep the posting order the same. So just take your time when you're replying to those situations.

Alright, I understand that.
At the same time I have to ask how long do we allow before skipping someone? sweatdrop The Rai dojo has been hijacked for attack after attack lately. Add in the fact that we have so many characters gathered into one place and we will just bottleneck.
Neko and Ishira can cover days worth of RPs in the time it takes 3 post rotations for us. I complained and they edited it so it was all the same day after the fact of Ishira starting an attack during the same RP day. Likewise Ooka started his storyline during this same 'Day' since Reeve declared it was suddenly a full moon because it corresponded to the real life date.
I haven't been wanting to be left out to give my character time to heal because if we actually are enforcing time to heal and such then we'll have characters out of commission for 4 months for chakra exhaustion, and about 2 years for a broken bone.

That's true, I've been thinking about that too (the time frame of things). But, "realistically" in this kind of RP, we're not going to wait 4 months for someone to heal unless it was life-threatening. I didn't know Reeve said it was a full moon because of the actual IRL full moon. I thought he said it to keep things going.
I'm not fully aware of what Neko and Ishira have been RPing lately so I can't give an opinion on it right now. But that is contradicting.
I think it would be appropriate to PM the person if they haven't replied within two days or three. It just depends on the situation of the RP.
Well, fighting or casual talk, you should still PM the person if they're going to reply or if it's ok to skip them.

They stopped probably due to being suck on the same day after my complaint sweatdrop
I realize that the time frame involved wouldn't realistically stop, but I meant that we need to take a while to stop pulling everyone into a central thread. The students just keep fighting loosing battles because we can't get a day to train them.
It's been frustrating me that every fight where Lina tries to use a single Rai ability ends with everyone having a level of control over the element to where they can completely remove her attacks from the equation.
Ooka has the ability to use smoke to redirect her Rai. Bao uses the gear tumblers which he will always say Lina has no effect on untill I have to pull the 'bloodline' card, which is my cheap shot due to the concept of him creating an enemy specifically targeted at me having to deal with while being completely useless against them otherwise. Kansou is strong enough to reverse Lina's metal modling based attack. I'm really just getting pissed that Rai is apparently the freebie card element people get to flag off as not important still.
I get how that could be because she's suppose to be a student, but, considering we have no sensei's to teach her another element, and everyone keeps tying me up I'm getting back into the mindset where I wonder why I'm still here playing this. I mean Neko gives fair fights with characters, but he's the exception from the rule with people I've RP fought with.

That's their characters. Kansou does specialize in Rai too, it's not just a coincidence. I'm sure there's reason why Ookamimaru's demon's smoke can redirect Rai. Also, it's a temporary transformation too though, right? So it isn't a 24/7 ability.
(This next part is me assuming) Neko's goal is to train his "soldiers" against the Academy, right? So his intention isn't to kill anybody, but to test his creations. And his creations aren't suppose to be experienced in battle yet (I think), which is why he would lose. They're not attacking to kill.
And as for Bao's gear tumbler, the last one that you attacked, I read it got destroyed because of your attack. Bao Steel [Start]
[End]
Back at the frontal base, the Gear Tunneler was malfunctioning. It's basic controls were short circuiting and the engineers were trying to solve the problem.
"Agh, it's no good!"
The engineers evacuated the Gear Tunneler in a hurried fashion.
One of the Shinobi Captains formed several earth seals with his hands before slamming them against the Tunneler's shark head metal surface. The Gear Tunneler started to sink under the hangar and traveled outside at a high speed before it exploded underground half a mile away.
There was a huge crater in the ground as an aftermath.
"What happened out there?" The main engineer asked. "It's power supply was tainted by something when it absorbed an attack this time. Where's the Maestro?"
One of the Shinobi Captains from the other remaining Gear Tunnelers answered. "He's dead. Although the Gear Tunneler ate his body, it's no where to be found. We saw him decapitated." http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=15899183&page=2 And it isn't a freebie card element. I think you're taking these fights a little too personally.
Theses fights so far they've been attacking and defending; you've also dodged a lot of attacks too, right?

This is why I like justu lists, I never use a jutsu my character doesn't have thus I can't really gm.
Kansou ACTUALLY isn't really rai based. If she was it was only because she had the raijuu within her. I removed that possibility because I thought it useless and borderline gm. She only has around one technique using electricity. I could add some but then I'd have to learn the techniques from someone and I'm lazy. The technique Kansou used against Lina recently,
-Soushuuha (Manipulate Advancing Blades)
Soushuuha is a Ninjutsu technique used by Sand ninja Yashamaru. This technique allows Yashamaru to hover multiple kunai in the air while he approaches a target. The technique allows a ninja to unleash a torrent of kunai much more quickly than if each was thrown individually.
Just to nail down I'm not, that strong. Just using simple techniques appropriately is effective. So there's no reason for Lina to be 'weak' if some strategy is put into her knowledge of attacks.

I suppose it's fair to assume when it's not a 24/7 ability. But my problem is the concept being used is not one technique is blocked, but ALL RAI attacks are blocked by a single post. Instead of giving the effort to say how they counter every move they use a method that plays out as no way it can be used.
I saw the post, honestly I admit I'm surprised that he let the machine be destroyed.
When I dodge an attack or block it I try to keep tabs on how often it happens. Lina takes injuries to herself during fights. Maybe I'm wrong in thinking this, but I am stuck with one element due to the light dojo being destroyed when Lina was going to train there for her second element. Spirit and Fire being her second choices based on the character's nature. As it stands instead Iri and Tier are our only Sensei and Kage levels outside Rai. Iri has a full load of students in RP given how much time she has online, so I won't add to that.
My problem with Jutsu lists involves character information that hadn't been revealed at all being known when I put it in my Bio.
I don't mean to complain about Kansou using the technique, that was fair given having many skills to counter with, it's spelled out for the specific attack, meaning you didn't give a blanket excuse for why Rai doesn't work. I guess that one shouldn't be compalined about sweatdrop
I guess I am taking it personally, but the problem is a lot of these fights take place where I have to be for the RP. The Rai Dojo having stuff happening means I'm stuck till it's done. Lina was in character ORDERED to the Main dojo to fight the gear tumbler who had been established ate her Rai during the previous argument involving my power level as a 'student' which in the end accomplished nothing Hence why I was forced to make up that bit with the tainted energy from her own secret power bit. By the fact that the person behind her teacher left anyway that arguement before really ended up doing nothing.
Lina's suppose to be formidable in Taijutsu, but it hasn't mattered given we are enforcing human limitation on it in an RP where attacks and defensive techniques create impossible obstacles for the human body easily.
I wanted my character to grow so she could have a wider range I could use instead of the constant need for a barrier to explain everything. Metal molding doesn't work when your character has to keep count on supplies used. Energy sensing is ignored by Bao due to whatever the character and his army are made from. Ooka either wasn't detectable or he didn't understand what I meant by it. The Rai skates, armor, and her sphere attack are just other barriers. Dalzing decided it needed to be spelled out that Lina woudln't be able to learn Rai form.
Just it ends up working out like this. I don't want to keep getting stuck for weeks on end when someone decides to write off every non barrier technique from Rai as unusable in one post while I'll give the courtesy of at least trying to explain myself on countering at every turn I do.
I really wanted Lina to just have her history transferred as knowledge and stories to explain her innovations when modifying techniques. It also would explain her hastened learning speed. The problem is the last original technique she was given was a month after Ishira and Tut's wedding. I can't find new ways to let my character attack and defend from a greater range until she is given time to learn or practice on making her own techniques. That also is a problem since I honestly don't know how exactly Rai can progress in a way that's fair and not falling under the branches of straight electricity or barriers.
