Elfen High 2 (OOC 4, Closed, No Morals Allowed)

[Nationstatelandsville]

Because, assuming, for example, you only have ranged attacks and your foe gets in your face, you are fucked.

But, really, that's assuming that your foe somehow gets in your face.

And when you have ranged attacks like grenades, the chances of that are incredibly miniscule even at best.

Exactly why I said "there are certain circumstances".

Alternatively, your foe snipes you from a distance and you die because you aren't telekinetic. That's the simplest solution.

[Erinkita]

I agree with Hard and Nat. And not just because my character will likely end up a magic-free tank.

Well, yes, there are certain circumstances. However, I am confident in the fact that in at least quite a bit of the time, a wizard would have a major advantage. Really, what I'm trying to say here is that, yes, there are circumstances in which magic won't win out, but, really, a lot of the time, it will.

For example, Hard whined Anton kicking James's ass - really, Anton probably could have killed him in an instant if he wanted to.

That is not what I complained about, and I would have been fine with it despite the severity of the beatdown purely because James is not prepared for Anton.

What I complained about, and what set about the events leading to the taking away of my character, was the fact that Jackie did that without once consulting me on the matter or giving me any chance of a response. All I've wanted since then was an apology from Jackie for godmodding, it is only because of others sticking their noses into the business that it expanded into a debate regarding whether magic is an "I Win" button.

She did apologize - like, the second she said something.

I do suggest you drop it. You aren't doing yourself any favors.

I'm pretty sure she gave you one like, what, five seconds later?

I haven't seen it, but that may be because the OOC explodes and I just missed it. This is also the first time I've been informed that she already has.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Hard, drop the Anton thing.

I read through the discussion, am pleased people stayed mostly civil throughout.

Now, I will state my own opinion on this matter. I believe that a skilled soldier with a gun will lose, 9 out of 10, to a skilled wizard. However, and this is important, this is as of 2020.

Technology will advance rapidly by 2030 and that skilled soldier with a gun will suddenly become a far more dangerous threat than he is now.

Again, I was not aware that Jackie had already apologized and this is the first time I've been informed of that. The issue is dropped as of now.

[Norvenia]

Good. Because if there's one thing I like as much as religious characters, it's skilled soldiers with guns.

Speaking of which, app should be up by noon EST tomorrow. I'm just working on history.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Another point: Cultures such as Heaven, Olympus, the Hindus and Asgard have indeed advanced. However, they have not advanced in the same way humans have. Humans advanced with machines, those societies advanced with magic.

For example, I introduce you to the flying carpet. This is a perfectly suitable alternative to, say, a helicopter or a plane. Do you need protection against the elements? Boom, cast a "Rain, rain go away" spell over the carpet. So this works just as well as a plane for aero travel. Magic and technology arrived at the same result in a different method and this applies to many other aspects of life as well.

I saw a link to this trope recently.

[Mavorpen]

I should do a one shot with Eris since that subarc isn't happening.

Go ahead.

As Clarke C. Arthur from the mirrorverse said, sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.

When this topic comes up, I always think of those trains from Avatar: The Last Airbender which had two earthbenders in the back pushing them along by repelling the ground.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

I see what you mean, Olthar and Nat.

I admit, having the main plot unresolved is silly. I want Uriel to appear. But in the way he deserves.

Oh, definitely. If Uriel has a shit reveal, it'll ruin the entire RP.


No pressure, Night.

Err...err...URIEL IS BATMAN.

Yeah, exactly!

Though admittedly I love that show. Insanely popular here in India too.

[Hardened Pyrokinetics]

Now then, back to the primary issues.

Would someone mind giving me a recap of everything I missed in the IC so I can figure out a good time to get back into it, and so my post doesn't contradict with anything?

[Olthar]

Eh, I dunno if that's good enough. Maybe if he was Batman and Spider-Man.

"I assume you guys like it due to its philosophical nature and accordance with your beliefs?"

"Nah, shipping. Cabbaang, motherfuckers."

"...Please don't tell me what that is."

"Cabbage Merchant/Aang."

"I am now eternally sad."

I told you you're not getting in until your epilogue post.

It's just an awesome show. The Hindi dub is great as well, goes into a lot of extra stuff the main show doesn't.

Of course, it's called "Avatar: The Legend of Aang" here.

I heard it was called that in Britain because bender is a slang term for homosexual.

It's the same thing in some parts of India as well, but I think they did it because most of the time Indians will usually copy off British TV rather than American TV. Of course, things are changing now.

I wonder what Brits think of Futurama. .
