Welcome to Gaia! ::

hey, none taken. everyone's entitled to their own opinion and i'm sure you're not the only one who feels that way. that's why i put cole in here, because i still wanted to be a part of the jedi experience. q can't be a jedi anymore, and i still wanted to partake in the adventure since i've invested a bit of time studying up on my star wars.

thanks for clarifying the senate thing as well.

hahah... sorry about the confusion there. sweatdrop

ideas? question

I object to the god-moding statement. For it's storyline and powers... there is not god-modding. Put a Jedi against Nova and you know that there's not a chance. They are two different storylines that don't mesh easily... thus add the guardians so that the Jedi have a fighting chance. But I'm pretty sure Sara would object to the accusation of god-modding as well.

Yes, I understand what you are saying, but it's not god modding. The two types of characters... ones using magic and other skills not related to star wars is definitely stronger than the force. I agree that they don't mesh well at all, but the situation you put up of: a non-guardian going up against Nova, that wouldn't happen unless that was talked about with the someone involved OR unless there were guardian(s) present to intervene. As for how they are going to tie in... I think we are trying our hardest to keep the guardians and Jedi separated. The only Nova Corp things affecting the Jedi are technological ones and those are more along the Star Wars lines. The other Nova Corp baddies that the Jedi would fight would most likely be Darth Virtra (who is fightable... Yoda fought her and sent her packing. And the now trained jedi will probably fight her several times and then kill her. I don't know how that is going to work) and General Nova (who we know has Jedi training and prefers to use such when fighting the Jedi) so it's a more even battle. Heck Kai was able to fend off the General splendidly. 3nodding

Now the only thing I was objecting to was the god modding accusation, which our posts and fighting are not. But as it is evident... we are trying to separate them.

Mm,

And I never actually said that it was god-modding.

But frankly, the situation I put up was intended to be a worst-case scenario. The point however, still stands. It's not technically impossible to happen, and I can almost foresee it happening. I don't deny some people's skills in roleplay battle, but some of it just screams god-moding. Aforementioned will not be mentioned in detail as it is not relevant.

And as for Gen. Nova, jedi training as he has, automatically puts him on a more even level with us as is. Additional training, even should he opt not to utilize such, would put him above most members.

Now all of that garbage I just wrote for this post means little to me. What I want to know is, if y'all are trying to separate the two plots, how exactly is that working out? I'm not seeing much, if any separation at all.

I wish we would stop having this conversation. The only UBER powerful people to date in this RP are Star and Nova... why? Because one is the evil person and one is the good guy. The rest of us guardians... especially Q, V, and Zeek... are frankly not so strong. My character got lucky of being Sarai's daughter and a guardian... was it random? Yes! That's why I wanted to RP as Mara. It made me have to work for it, but all the guardians have to work for their stuff too. When Nova joined gaia... she started off with Level one of telekinesis under her story and worked her way, step by step, to the point she is now. She's earned her power all over gaia. Star had it a little easier when she was brought in, but even she has proved her abilities and slowly advanced them. The general was the first of us on here and he started at level one of telekinesis too. (us being Me, V, Star, Yoda, Nova, Lookle, Nano and Gen. Nova) He earned his powers. What happens when we mix and mingle RP's is that people who start a new character have to start over... and people who get to be their same character don't have the problem of that.

Now dante has pointed out this here:



The only character that 'cannot' be defeated in this guild is Star Nova. If the Jedi were to fight smart, they could beat Star. Nova cannot keep her power up forever, and she was the only ancient magic user that can do spells without speaking... only thing is she took a vow never to use magic again. Star can pull of some single incantations, but not all like that. Myself and the rest still use long spells... unless it's simple things that don't do jack crap. And if the spell is said in the middle of the post... yeah that sucks, but you could do something after that spell to make speaking difficult, and if it's a really long spell you could say in your post something like: "While she was speaking I did such and such..." It's not like you are left empty handed.

But... i got off track here somehow.... I don't know. WHAT I WANTED TO SAY IS: Let's drop the subject and go on with the story the way we are... Let's just be friends and work through it.

I have to say I respect Nano, she's not god modding. Sure she's blowing things up, but she's leaving us clues and making it fun... provided she stops disappearing. And I think it's a good thing to finally get back to the star wars lightsaber swinging, mysteryious assailent, force using part of the story!! There... that's what I want to say: LET'S JUST ALL WORK TOGETHER FOR HARMONY!!!
