Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay, Wolf. I'm not saying that I can see things like freaking Neji behind me, but if I your RPC isn't attacking me directly, I have to keep my RPC aware. And a knife floating isn't very inconpicuous. The fact that it landed on the ground when I cut the web, then it moved so it should have made some noise.

Well since the gunslinger have excellent reflexes, Conner could have just instantly used Phantom Feint once he felt the blade touch his back. After all, you want it to be silent, right? Meaning you have to go slow. Because you can kind of hear it when a blade cuts through the airs resistance due to its wedge form.

@ Hiro, perhaps but unless you're trained like Kenpachi you'd still get cut.

@ Snuff, I was looking over the top of the gate, my post at the bottom of page 16 specified that I sent a shikigami (dummy) and a sentry to the gate to announce me while I went up to the parapets and looked down from the walkway at the top of the gate. I've been there the whole time and only moved towards one side just before Hiro started to focus on my location. After sending the knife at his back I climbed down to hide under the stairs by sticking to the wall. I can't currently see you but could when I launched the knife. The threads are manipulated with energy not directly, it's a custom called thread control and can be found in my thread in the custom subforum.

Yes you have a lot of great things going for you, when you see the attack coming. My entire point which you have yet to counter is that this comes from behind you. It's a knife flying at your back so to sum up your strength:

Great sight - No eyes in back of head means sight isn't a factor.
Good reflexes - Means he can say ow faster after being stabbed in the back. As above if he saw it coming it would come into play.
Dodges well - When an attack is perceived
Can maneuver well - This is related to how well you move to dodge so see above.

Essentially none of your points counter having a knife sent at your back, if you were a werewolf, kiranu, waktu, vampire, etc with heightened hearing it would be possible to hear the knife in theory but I fail to see how good eye sight will translate into dodging an attack to a blind spot.

Also keep in mind your movements for things like martial arts would be sluggish due to the damage to your feet.

I aimed at your back, not specific organs like the heart, lung, kidney, or liver so it isn't necessarily a deathblow but it would hurt like hell and do damage. I attacked from a blind spot to make it hard to dodge so I just can't accept it being dodged easily unless you had a way to react to it and that hasn't been provided yet.

If it were large enough to make such a sound without going at such speeds as to make hearing it something to occur after the fact I would agree but if you throw a scalpel and can make it create such a sound you may want to contact guinness.

You said nothing about sound in your response


Now that it's been pointed out you couldn't have seen it coming you then argued it would make noise moving up from the ground. Then you tried to say the moment it touched you, you could dodge. Then you said it would make a whoosh sound. This is not a swinging motion it's a scalpel stabbing towards you from a blind spot. It is not spinning, it is not arcing, it is not large. It isn't even thrown for that matter it's levitated and then moved forward to stab you so you wouldn't even hear the arm displacing wind you might if you throw something. The attack was made to be hard to notice and since you're speaking, a giant golem is moving, and falling, and Beth is moving I just don't see how you would notice it. If needed I can go over physics, aerodynamics, etc. end of the day though it truly seems you're grasping at straws.

We've both put out our arguments and you don't seem to want to accept it was a good move on my part nor have you shown me any way for you to have noticed it. As such we seem at an impasse and should probably ask a third party to judge for us so we can continue the RP. I don't want to post again until you have a chance so that the order isn't broken.

This seems to be confusing you, when I entered the battle I did not walk out into plain sight, I went to the walkway at the top of the gate and was looking down at everyone. I moved down behind the wall and out of sight after you shot at me and I sent the knife at your back. Attack and retreat basically.

In the case of Beth what I was pointing out to her was that I wasn't sure the chain would reach me from where she was because 1. I wasn't on the same level ground as you two meaning it wasn't just a matter of extending straight the ~41 feet it can reach. It had to travel forward to the gate then up towards me. 2. Also it was being used after the knife was sent at your back and I descended which meant it would have hit the wall not me if it was long enough to reach. She had the golem between her and you and you are still outside the gate. No definite distances have been given but with a giant golem, you, and some space between you and the gate indicated by your original plan to run towards me it is possible to estimate she would easily be 20-30 feet from the gate and it would be over ten feet high. That means the chain might not have reached me which is why she edited to take out the golem first.

You on the other hand had a knife sent at your back which is probably more of a two + feet x 1+ foot target from less than a hundred feet away and my accuracy in throwing weapons isn't the issue because it's my ability to perceive a hundred feet that comes into play with levitating and directing a blade with magic. The blade in question is in fact obsidian and it isn't that it hit the ground skidding, it's that I dropped it. If you look over the posts every time it was moving I was spending energy to levitate it. So a black blade get's dropped on white snow and you know exactly where because you 'dropped' it, that does not hide it.

At no point did I post or see a post saying snow was was kicked up to cover the blade. And I don't see what being a biochemist has to do with using earth and rock levitation from a distance somewhere between 10-50 feet away. No distances have been said but I saw nothing to indicate you were 400 feet away, approaching the gate and all even with slope calculated instead of width we're talking 30-60 feet maybe a bit more.

As for the visibility the potion is flawed by not having a time limit but I figured it would be about time for it to wear off however I just stepped onto a trap door in my last post which is different than the potion but more effective. Really it hasn't been all that long, it just seems like it because of all the OOC.

I suggest you read my posts thoroughly. The bladed weapon was behind the golem's arm trailing razor wire. You went onto and along the golems arm then dropped down into the path of the wire. I pointed out that if it wrapped around you the weapon would begin arcing back then you turned to cut the wire and turned back to shoot at me placing the weapon behind you. If you had wanted to place the weapon in a particular spot then you should have after cutting the wire but since you didn't that left it where it would have last been, behind you since after cutting the wire you turned back towards me.

I've asked for a mod to judge this because we clearly won't reach an agreement on it.
