Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Gel, not to be rude, but I was really looking forward to our fight ending- regardless of the victor, for this sole reason: Rynn needed some god damn work on his profile.

And uh, since I thought the fight was over, I went and editted, removing the psionics and adding some other stuff- making him more of a true ice elementalist.

I also posted in the infirmary, which can be nixxed, I suppose.

This is just FYI.))

I'm trying to avoid killing characters when I can. Some advice: If you get shot again, try and take the shot in your leg (or possibly arm, I guess, but leg's a whole lot easier), Lunaritina doesn't currently have anything capable of killing you off a leg shot, while if she gets you in the torso with either of her primary weapon types right now you'll likely have to get someone to pick up the pieces for ya.

The forcefield is a feature unique to this armor, and as such isn't very well-defined. At present, it's pretty much a generic forcefield - blocks incoming stuff within a short distance around her, energy-based, can be pierced or briefly broken with a strong enough attack. I figure to maybe add some sensor upgrades and tie them into the forcefield system to allow a "smart" shielding system that only consumes energy when needed, but obviously I can't do that now so it'll work lightsaber-style (i.e., always "there", but consuming very little energy except when actually being used) for the purposes of this fight. The forcefield may deliver low-level shocks to things coming in direct contact with it, but nothing on the magnitude of what her armor can do (see below).

As I said, the forcefield is unique to this upgrade armor - hence she didn't have it until she activated the armor. What then did she use before? She didn't use a forcefield as most thought, but rather special properties of Reploid armor. I can go into specifics if you want but I'd rather not, so I'll leave it at that for this post.

On the subject of having so much of a life that people can't get on and make a post where required, regardless of how shitty it may be because you're pressed for time:

I'm taking 5 classes, my router is physically absent, meaning that when I do get home and have time, I can't access from my PC and have to wait until after 10 to use this shitty one to get on and check things (in addition to the hour I tend to get around 1PM on weekdays at the computer lab). The weekends are the worst for this, since I've been spending around 14 hours Saturday and Sunday for the last two weeks doing work on a correspondance course I'm taking. Meaning, I get on around 1AM so that I can email my assigment in... THEN deal with all your bickering... THEN make all the posts that I need to so nobody is waiting REGARDLESS of how tired I might be because sometimes s**t just needs to get done.

Whatever a previous ruling might have been on the grounds that you were too busy bitching at Ertai to make a post, just 'not wanting to' is not an excuse to go over the limit.






Now, as for bargains: I don't make them. You two seem to both want the thread opened, so it will open. As for the other one, Phallus wants it closed, but I'll admit that calling it closed retroactively is a low blow. If you want to forfeit that one, go ahead, I'll close it back up then.

@ Deity: Noted... though hopefully you two will actually make some progress soon. rofl

@ Viper: I'm keeping track of like 90 fight threads at once here, give me some leeway. I know you've been pushing it in all of your fights, I don't know the exact numbers offhand, though. xp

@ Something: Hootamaga!

...now that I've got your attention:

Tac, you closed Rakane vs. James Morgan on grounds of ring out. I'm not seeing it, I looked back a few posts and still don't see it. What's your grounds for calling that one?

[edit] I see what you're getting at, now, but in responce I simply have to ask:

If you're so quick to call a DQ on something like that, where was the DQ for James summoning? Because that clearly was a summon. Despite that he said earlier that whatever he was doing was an illusion, the fact that it participated in physical combat makes it, without a doubt, a summon...

We've got a double-foul, but James fouled like a page before Rakane did.

Eh, okay.

Still toeing the line there.
