Zulu Yankee Kilo Echo Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) OOC: Alright.First of all, Shaw, being the master planner he is, would be sure to keep track of his most important subordinates at all times. Therefore, the second he returned to the Hellfire mansion and noticed that Novocain was missing, he would have immediately started asking where he went, and that would inevitably lead him to Ben (and all of this could easily have happened since I last made a post as him). That's how he would know that Novocain was in Vegas.Now, regarding the teleporting mutants: Shaw (again, being the master planner that he is) would keep around more than one teleporting mutant in case one of them died or betrayed the Club. Then, after using said mutant to bring himself to Vegas, it would only be a matter of finding Novocain, which would be easy since (besides Alec, who is probably too far away from Shaw to really be noticed) he's the only one who's half robot.Is that sufficient?

Snelly Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) In response to Snelly.About the laser, Mkay well I didn't really know that buuuut.You sort of put him in a situation he can't have survived in by raising him high up into the air without my consent, Novocain could of blasted him or shot lighting at him before he was too high in the air so I think this is fair. I didn't raise him in the air without your consent, you could have easily had Novocain avoid it or attacked Nathan in a way that would have prevented him from being lifted off the ground in the first place, but you didn't. That's not my problem. And that's not an excuse to ignore logic, sorry. If you find your character in a situation where he cannot survive no matter what he does well, then he dies. It's as simple as that. I didn't do anything without your permission I simply had Nathan use his powers and you didn't do anything about it till Novocain was already high in the air. That's your consent right there buddy. OOC: Alright.First of all, Shaw, being the master planner he is, would be sure to keep track of his most important subordinates at all times.

Advent Child Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 It would seem this would bring forth the question of how words should be utilized in a fight/interaction context as far as saying you did something, versus saying you attempted to do something. Basically, verbally leaving the idea that there is an escape or alternative option that can be used without disturbing the verbal flow. Quote ~Totally like a boomerang. I always come back.

Basically, verbally leaving the idea that there is an escape or alternative option that can be used without disturbing the verbal flow.***Well, it's easy enough to just always assume that you can escape from something, cause even if someone writes it as if they actually hit you or punched you in the face, you can still write otherwise, nothing stopping you.

Advent Child Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 No, there's nothing literally stopping you, but I was referring more to the feeling of not wanting to overly go against what's being written out as far as responding. What I'm trying to say is something in the vein of when something's been posted, it feels weird to respond in a way that totally negates what the person posted when it's posted as a definite. At least for me. That's no to say I just want to roll over and let the other player dictate the pace of the interaction, but I also don't want to simply brush of what they wrote. I would want my response to fall in line fluidly, as if I was reading a single direction story as opposed to a story with conflicting points of vies from conflicting narrators.

Wyrd Bid Ful Araed Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Okay, tried PMing this to Tyler, but he hasn't answered, so I think I stand a better chance of getting a response here: Do the Morlocks still exist? And if I wanted a few Morlock NPCs how much leeway would I have in using canon characters?What is the status of the prison known as the Big House? And since I can't find anywhere that says for definite where it's placed, would I be able to make that up myself?

AuRon the champion Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Morlocks are more-or-less in the shape that they're after after their Massacre by Mr. Sinisters Marauders. I think anyway... I don't know the status of the Big House. However, Molotov is working with various SHIELD agents on a new version of The Cube. 'cept it now holds mutants...

And since I can't find anywhere that says for definite where it's placed, would I be able to make that up myself? I was actually replying to this, crazily enough, but I can answer here anyway - and with a bit more certainty than AuRon. They are, indeed, still in the shape they were in after the Massacre: if you want to use a canon character or two sparingly, I'll give you permission to do so in good faith as someone who's RP'd with you for a while, but just remember that they're still canon characters and they're still ultimately open for staff use at any time. As for the Big House, that's a bit more of a tabula rasa, if you want to do something with it. Just PM me whatever you have in mind for it when you have your plan fleshed out and I can approve it. -Tyler Quote ＳＡＹ ＩＴ ＯＮＥ ＭＯＲＥ ＴＩＭＥ ＴＥＬＬ ＭＥ ＷＨＡＴ ＩＳ ＯＮ ＹＯＵＲ ＭＩＮＤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krayzikk Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 ....AuRon.For one, that is impolite bordering on rude. Even if you insist on calling out a staff member, in this case three, there are far more polite ways to go about it. Things like "Hey, it seems kinda like he doesn't have a weakness" or "Hey, you sure about that one?" Instead, you publicly and rudely call out several staff members, including the Head GM. Second, let's be brutally honest here. A significant portion of the weaknesses that get approved are things such as "As a normal human in a world of mutants" or "Only has human level reflexes". On a character with powers that are fairly mild for this particular RPG, I pay less attention to the weakness. On a character with fairly normal human attributes aside from a few powers, it doesn't matter quite as much. Because they have obvious disadvantages in this game, with all the super strong, super fast or other powered characters running around. Heck, we have two character who under the correct circumstances are literally invulnerable.As Tyler stated above, Rapture got approved just fine. And I have numerous problems with her, actually. But I don't bring them up, because the only time they've actually occurred was before I was staff. In short, you're barely toeing a very fine line.
