Welcome to Gaia! ::

By WHO?

WHEN?

On who's authority do they have a right to argue whether or not you want to play your character as if events are actually happening to him, rather than a series of out-of-time isolated incidents that apparently aren't canon?

It's your choice whether or not to treat this as canon. If you do, don't skimp on it. If you don't, at least try to make a coherant 'alternate timeline' progression to it.




Also, I second that question up there. Why do you RP? Is it because you like telling the story of a character, and like playing things out, for the value of entertainment like the whole thing was made for... or is it just so you can Man-of-Steel people and claim that it makes you the 'better' between the two of you because you won the fight on merit of your character being the nexus of all existence? Okay that one's a little harsh...

And no actually, I don't RP with Tac much any more.

Nor much on Gaia at all, because arguments like this happen.

=/ And by Clash, who else? I'm not saying its something hindering my roleplaying abilities, just that I was told we should go into each round at full strength with all our crap healed. Same as I was told that all the arenas exist seperately to avoid time constraints and everyone killing everyone. Same as I was told to use my most powerful characters despite the "fairness" of them.

And you know what? I do enjoy RPing. This tournament has been the most fun I've had in a while. Despite all the arguments, the nay-sayers, the bitching, the whining, and the moaning.

My stance on if Superman whatever can do who the hells care is... well, no, that just about covers it. I'm a Marvel fan, Supes can go die in a fire.

I love your post Vahn. You can sprout wings after burning your soul and saying you were out of power, said you could barely move but charged Viper and stabbed him with his own sword, then channeled the last of your energy (A term which I believe you used before) to use another energy attack.

So, what?

"..."

Oh no, my opponent's such a munch, he can push off me (which would be impossible, especially seeing as he was above you) and use one little technique.

Well I'm sorry, you put yourself that close to him in the first place. Deal with it.

Last thing, ******** off Jello. I've said it once and I'll say it again, I... really... don't... care... Vahn could have had Viper beaten twice-over, but if he insists on continuing it so do ******** I. I'm not just going to roll over like you're used to people doing in your precious structured RPs. Not with any of my characters, not while they still have the smallest iota of power or tricks or intelligence left in them, and certainly not with my oldest character, the one who is more likely to have answers to problems than any of my other characters and probably more than most of them combined.

Oh, I'm sorry. I should have taken the time and effort to choregraph what was basically a pretty way of saying "Vahn, I'll get hit by most of your attack."

And in case you MISSED it, I told you back on page three that aiming for soft-spots and the like wouldn't work. =/ So cry me a river.

There's a difference unlimited energy and having a lot of it, you're still under the impression that its limitless because you decided you wanted to end it on your time. My fault entirely, I should have done things differently instead of you know, treating you like an equal.

Your entire basis for being able to do the crap you do is precedence, and you know what? I'm fine with that, I never really minded much or I would have brought it up when it happened. But lets not forget that just because you don't like something about my character, or the way I operate, and you do bring it up it doesn't make you right.

So Vahn, to review... if you don't like it, tough. Do something about it. Pull out another trick, grab the sword, or his foot, or whatever. Just stop bitching at me because IN THE END it comes right down to you could have won simply by letting Viper drop, but you didn't. You wanted to keep going, so I kept going.

.....well, at least this place is never boring. > >;

I thought it was radio-active fire.

Jello, when you get the chance, can I get a quick judgment call on my Shaggy fight? Just a quick what-you-see over PM's, for multiple reasons.

I don't remember saying "YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE INJURED WHEN YOU GO INTO YOUR NEXT MATCH", and if I did, I take it back. The infirmary was put there there so people can heal broken arms and stuff if they want, but if you want to show some humility and go into your next match with carried-over injuries, by all means, do. This is supposed to be canon...if you want it to be, or to a degree, or whatever the ******** also wasn't my intention for people to just godmode and throw fairness out the window. I said bring your most powerful character, and figured that the people with true skill would be able to outsmart those who secretly suck at roleplaying but make up for it by chocking their character full of powers and just trying to obliterate everything. In fact, Ertai was one of the powerful dudes I had in mind, and I was waiting for him to be defeated by someone with real skill so that this could be proven. But as Jello just said, I didn't know what I was getting into. Had an idea...but, ya know. I've been roleplaying for two years this month, created this thing six(?) months ago, and my outlook on roleplaying evolves just about every day.

If I could do this over, it'd be with less people and more limits. Things are narrowing down, though, and Jello's been doing s**t like this for a long time, so with a final word, respect his input and decisions. And the other mods', too.
