Welcome to Gaia! ::

I made a bar once or twice. One of the rules pointed out there were no rafters and the place was fully lit. No dark corners.

The only place to lurk in the dark was under a table, where my character would look at you funny.

I loved it when it happened, cause someone didn't read-and Valas, my good natured baker, always treated them politely, but as if they were challenged.

On rare occasions, there's been guys who have taken Assault Rifle rounds and kept moving.

So I can see some cool supernatural creatures taking quite a few rounds. But from what I can see, people frown upon it because the immunity to damage is usually selective. They can take .50 BMGs like a champ, but can be destroyed via dagger or something along those lines. You find guns cheap so you decide to make yourself particularly immune to it. And you see it all the time.

It's sort of, kind of like Kichiro. Can only be killed by s**t that he can see coming, everything else that moves really fast is automatically blocked. And you can't argue with him because he'll just be like, "lol I'm usin meta powers to block your meta tech lol"

And I sort of just sit here like, "Meta tech say wha?"

So when people frown upon something in RP -usually- it's because the people who do it are doing it like retards.

The only times I hate working with opponents and guns are four-fold:

A. If the guy instantly goes "HUHUH, No-SCOPE HEADSHOT HUHU" like they're playing Halo 3 with a 12 year old opponent. Barring situations where it's obviously applicable like if there's a barrel right to someone's head [legitimate reached/placed], it just comes off as an excuse to 1-hit kill someone when done improperly.

B. When I'm utilizing firearms, and I literally unload a wall of shrapnel into somebody's torso which they make no effort to escape, find cover from, shield themselves from, etc. - and not only do they survive it [which is okay], but they take no damage from it and use the opportunity to try and strike a Devil May Cry pose.

C. Snipers. It's again the "good-v-bad" argument; a sniper who takes several posts to get in position, possibly have a wing-man nearby by radio to help adjust for unfavorable wind conditions, all of that - great. Kickass in fact. But someone who doesn't understand how a sniper rifle works in general often goes in with one in some bad vantage point, points the scope right at the offending character's head, and pulls the trigger a post or two apart max - not adjusting for a damn thing that may interfere with the plan. Then, even when the awesome "OOPS, SNIPER DISCOVERED, HUNTING TIME!" scenario is played out, the sniper if they're like the above usually has some bullshit method of escape like a warpy-cloak. Distasteful.

D. People who don't account for ammunition. Not just firearms, but other weapons that have set munitions; I hate that. A set amount of ammo is what balances such weapons, and folks who purposely leave that vague are bhbheehaheehehfhgggngmg.



Sure, you could say "Well if they're good, none of that'll happen-" but it's harder to deal with folks armed to the teeth with firearms that're bad than melee weapons. Namely because when you're an idiot swinging a sword like you think you're Cloud Strife, you're usually right in harm's way and your mistake(s) are usually costly enough that it's over. With a precious number of firearms, not as much; the risk versus ability to repeat the mistake is just too low.

I think if guns are utilized in that manner or anything similar [i.e. "IT UTILIZES MAH ENERGY-"] it should physically tax the user, regardless of what it's procured from.

Much as I hate to use this example, like Yusuke's Spirit Gun.

lol

"Eat this b***h!" *fires round* "BOO--oooffff" *recoil kicks in*

Although with most guns that auto reload, some of the recoil is used to activate the machinery to load the next round (or at least that's how semi-automatic revolvers work) and so with customized guns you could possibly amplify that effect to have a decreased reload. For all one knows that's what she does, she has the cash to.

Hey, if you have something against me, say it to my face!

One of these days, Yusuke and Omi's going to throw down. Then I'll teach you about making comical YYh references like it's a field day.
