Zero Divide (OOC Discussion)

[James Heard]

It's just too far. He brought a handgun to a knife fight.

Which, as a matter of fact, is one of those things you really want to do in knife fights.



But heroic fiction is often much different than common sense, yes. I think it's all very funny.

 

[Vanifae]

Come on everyone! Group hug!

Be like the Littlest Hashashin, Give Hugs.

As a note, he didn't attempt to bury her or even come close to doing it he only went to the waist and she was able to struggle out of the snare.

The guy can drop 50 tons of earth on top of someone, if he wanted her buried, he would have grabbed the 50 tons of dirt from beneath her leaving her in a pretty wide hole, and then just dropped the 50 tons of dirt down on her filling in the hole.

It should be obvous given what he could do and the fact that he said that he was only giving her a warning and wasn't burying her that he was not in fact trying to bury her.

I don't think it's obvious what any of us can do yet, really. It's not like anyone has had room or opportunity to really explore and show off to everyone else what they can do. We can't remember crap from day to day, even if someone's been showing off how easily it is to dig swimming pools and basements with their superpowers the day before.

This is true, no one knows the extent of their powers in game yet.

I mean Dee didn't know she was nigh unkillable till she tried to kill herself, and even then that might not be the extent of her capabilities. Eh I say let it go personally, no need to distracted by this since this isn't the focus of the game.

 

[Shayuri]

And she didn't really attack you with a knife either. It's pretty obvious she wasn't just aiming for your head and...oops!...missed and hit the tree. She missed a-purpose.

If it had stopped there, she would have been the bad guy.

But the whole, "I wasn't really trying to hurt her this time...if I had been, she'd be dead now" argument doesn't really shield you from the perception of bullying. You used your power to dominate her, and it was more force than the situation really seemed to call for.

In my opinion.

Which is good to remember.

This is all opinion. There's no magic law that says who's wrong or right here. I'm just explaining why my character is reacting as she is. You're welcome simply to think she's wrong.

He also has a +10 in diplomacy when dealing with women (and all the people doing the talking at the moment are women) so the intent of his actions and words is very clear. With women he and Facade are tied for the highest levels of diplomacy in the group at +10.

 

[Vanifae]

I think it's good it sparks debate, I just don't want any hard feelings

Agreed.

But again role playing trumps skill checks any day, and I would rather the scene be dictated by player reactions then rolls of the dice.

 

[Shalimar]

I would just like the reactions to take the skills into account to some degree as well.

We can move on though.
