Welcome to Gaia! ::

But there's... no.... curb in the arena...






Now here's a question that was never addressed:

Assuming there is only one arena (since everything takes place in the same arena) we should naturally assume that the fights are sequential in some regard. Which would also imply that every participating character should be able to view every other fight if they choose to do so. This is logical and reasonable, no?

Should we also just pretend that the fights where someone dropped didn't happen at all? Baron got his bullet back, which means he didn't fire the gun, which means nobody would have seen him fire the gun, which means nobody should know about the gun because that fight didn't happen. ...right?

It's also been stated that you don't replenish ammunition between rounds. Nobody's said anything about healing between rounds, otherwise Eric and Tres are going to show up in wheelchairs.

And then there's the question of how much time passes in character between each of these.

I'd assume it's sequential?

The fight never happened?

Healing to be addressed at the end of rounds?

It wasn't more than 3 actions that had multiple parts. His speed and strength are just passive. But the uppercut was sped up, big whoop. I used a fair amount of energy for each post. You're right the guard is completely different so it does not serve as a good example. And you know it had he not run in all extra obvious then it would have been blocked differently. Biiig whoop a strong move was done in a post….it happens. If a huge portion of his charge bar that he entered with is used in the beginning that may go good or poorly for him. He used a good portion of power but if you notice i use a energy bar that depletes not a charge over post way of ability usage. Y'all moan cause powers were used but everyone in the tourney are basically super powered beings in some form, so except powers and super powered things. Lifting up and coming back down in a slam aint that crazy of a thing to do. I never said he made magical tornadoes and thunderstorms. geez. And Jello it was described how he did it in my post. He did it through use of his velocity ability. He prepped as athena ran in and was ready to react as she attacked.

Y'all complaints about the scale of energy used in posts of the fights are why the fight has been stopped or difficult to continue, I hope you realize. Its the fact that Vin made a bad choice, walked into it and is trying to screw with the timing in their actions to get out of it, with interrupting style or whatever else he can, and if one person is posting in a different time frame than the other, to dodge s**t, the fight just won't work like it should. If he was confused he should have asked for clarity but his confusion is/was not the case….in which point the minor detail y'all keep bring up about the "ohhh when could he do this" doesn't matter but has an answer anyway of "he readied during athena's boisterous charge"…back to it though the issue in continuing comes from Vin bitchmoding his way out of something that he did not avert properly and spam posting bullshit to avoid it.

There's a big difference man. There are varying levels of superhuman. The people criticizing you have reason to believe that your characters level of superhuman goes beyond the bounds of reason.

For me personally. My character can do one supernatural thing in a post. Those abilities when compared to yours are limited in how they may be used. These abilities draw from a single resource pool that cannot be restored unless he maintains a grapple on the head for a lengthy period of time. He is athletic but he otherwise he is not physically superhuman.

This isn't necessarily your fault though. It was the judges job to say "hey, this is too much" but the CoC has been marked by its allowance of broken characters.

Also you have to watch out for using OOC IC insults. When you write in your post "Athena is living in her own delusion" you make the other persons character look bad. Having your character 'say' something insulting to Athena is fine, but when you include insults in the body of the writing (something I admittedly was guilty of in the beginning of me and Slash's fight, which I was wrong for), you devalue your opponent and in effect, you devalue your own character because now your opponent is being regarded as a joke rather than as an actual challenge.

Ideally you want to use your writing not only to elevate your character but to elevate your opponent.

Tres shows up and spends the entire round covering himself in ectoplasm. He eventually becomes a gelatinous cube lashing out with thirty foot long slime tentacles and chasing japanese middle school girls around.

I did try that in the beginning, wish the same could be said for my enemy there. He tried to deny everything and be pompous as well with his OOC IC blows…i didn't point out that kind of stuff until he started ******** time bending and interrupt-interrupt styling, as well with denying physics(not that it makes it any better that did it, but it did need to be pointed out). And yes there are other levels of power. You say he's OP cause of the chain but the chain was a simple thing and just a wide ranged weapon/item for him. He didn't do anything with except launch it and the make it begin a wrap. Those are simple as well as can be stopped and avoided or am I wrong in that statement? His abilities also come from a limited pool.
