Yeah, you're probably right. Laser: Don't talk shit about the Val'Gara, especially when you don't have a thing on any member of our group, and vice versa. This is why I keep bringing up the Entropic Passages thread, because while nobody won it, you opened your mouth first, the same way you did in this topic, at least in the context of being able to kick people's ass on lagedorre not on fflounge. That's why I don't have to post anything on here until I feel like it, because while I did issue the challenge, I did not say I'd be doing it under your rules.

Hey hey hey! Why should Laser get all the Valgy fun? I'll take someone on. Hell, better yet, lets do it all in the same thread. Why not? I never got to get down on Entropic, really. And I wanna see how I would do against beings like the Valg's. |

What job was that again? The thread was a mess and didn't serve any purpose for anyone. The judgement was purposely engineered to screw everyone over so as far as anyone who was involved is concerned, anything that happened in that thread is meaningless. So everyone should stop using it as an example for anything. Plus it was like three years ago or whatever LOL. Anyway I am not making excuses for anyone. All I am saying is that he's making sense here. I mean you can say that you don't care or whatever all you like, but the only one who is actually freaking out for nothing here is you. Even if your challenge wasn't specifically directed at Laser (it clearly was though), that doesn't change the fact that you were the one who issued it. And it really does stem from lingering animosity that exists between the Ygg and the Val'gara. For whatever nonsensical reason. I never had any interest in dealing with the Val'gara, which was why I agreed to not go out of my way to directly infringe on any of the Val'gara's activities in RR. I believe Guts and I reached something of an understanding on that front. I mean I would have just left well enough alone without having to be asked about it first, but whatever. Anyway, Entropic Passages was closed (by Drat or whoever) before Laser or anyone else even had time to actually get warmed up. I think there was some kind of time limit or whatever. Pretty lame, really. I don't remember it too clearly (especially since I wasn't directly involved in any of the battle shenanigans - lucky for the Val'gara LOL), but I am pretty sure that you guys probably took forever to reply as usual, and by the time you did, the thread deadline would have been fast approaching, leaving Laser and whoever else (that new guy who disappeared partway through the thread - default win LOL) no time to actually accomplish anything. Stalling is not any sort of victory. Stalling in order to impede IC progress is just a desperation move really. But maybe I am not remembering things clearly since it was so long ago and also a fucking stupid thread and pointless as hell to get hung up on it anyway. |

I wanted to get down on some of the shenanigans, but we decided to RP instead of Spar. Thus, Laser and Black got all the fun, with that other guy (who did leave), and yes...they took forever to post. |

Bane of my RP fighting existence. And likely the only strategy in existence that has any chance of working against me. Make me so bored that I forget why I even bothered in the first place LOL. And hope that I don't check the thread for your reply six months down the road. |

The only thing that surprises me in this thread is my ability to read more than two sentences of Alucroas' rants. |

There was tension between the Val'Gara and the Yggers? I must be perpetually clueless, considering I had not one but two Val'Garan characters and never really thought one way or the other of Reno's crew. |

I remember you, Galileo. I don't remember Narcissus, but I remember that you, at least, were a good player and a decent human being. There's a misconception in this thread that I somehow hate the Val'gara and/or cannot stand 'gross' or 'evil' characters. This is not true. In Alucroas' case, I dislike his characters because they are generally senselessly grotesque or despicable, indulging in acts of wanton or petty cruelty for their own sake. He's never been good, in my opinion (which may well vary from others'), at bringing out the basic inhumanity of his 'monstrous' characters - they always struck me as petty thugs rather than slavering monsters. It didn't help that his single greatest delight was killing, torturing, and apparently now raping other folks' characters, as well. Mmm...as for Entropic Passages. I remember the judgment better than anyone here; allow me to retell it and hopefully lay that damnfool thing to rest, once and for all. AHEM: The judges awarded the Val'Gara the strategic win, but the Yggdrasil Crew was, efefctively, granted the tactical victory. The Crew was both praised and penalized for the various junk Crim, Einst and the others were doing in the Niraan village, while the loss of Ronin from our Passages combat team hurt us gravely score-wise at the end of the thread. The Val'gara yielded up some points for delays in posting, some of which very nearly ran into crit timers, which had the overall effect of slowing down the match. Aristocrat's character, and that strange girl with the spider queen, were seen as having accomplished the objective of securing the Passages themselves, which gave the Val'gara the edge they needed to retain control of the zone. However, the judges also acknowledged that Cee and Random were clearly holding the upper hand in the direct combat portion of the thread, and thus allowed the Yggdrasil Crew both a full retreat, with no losses inflicted, as well as the option of securing loot from the Frontier as a token of the tactical superiority displayed by our fighters. Destroying the Frontier was never my objective, it was Reno's. I would have complied with it had we secured control of the place, but my objective was neither to destroy the Frontier, nor to block the Val'gara's capture attempt. My objective in the Passages was, quite simply, to kill the shit out of Alucroas and Aristocrat. Only the Frontier time limit kept me from accomplishing that goal, as neither of the Val'gara's primary combat characters in the thread had offered any significant threat to Cee and Random thus far. It was a compromise judgment which satisfied none of the parties involved, and was largely a sham and, it has been suggested, an opening move by Drat in his attempt to suborn and destroy the Yggdrasil Crew. The Crew's choice of direct combat and general battle style did not fit well with the goal of the Frontier, causing problems for all parties. Is that a sufficient summary of the issue to lay it to rest? Anyways. Galileo, I have no issue with you, and to be perfectly honest I don't have much issue with the Val'gara. I don't like how limited their ability to tell stories is, as I've discerned from direct experience with the group, but if that's not a concern of yours, then it's not a concern of mine. I only took up Alucroas' challenge such that he would be forced to do the exact same thing he told me to do - put up or shut up. I chose "Put Up". He seems to've chosen "Whine Like Bitch." If you'd like to make a challenge of your own, we can certainly see about it, though I remain as unenthusiastic about the idea as I have been from the start. It's not something you should feel needs to happen, though if it'll shut Alucroas up, I'll be more than willing to take you on. |

Oh yeah I remember saying something about destroying the place. Though in retrospect if I had actually taken that idea seriously I would have been fighting as well LOL. |

Probably not considering he challenged you on his own without me encouraging him to. I just told him about the argument and he showed up here. XD Your judgment summary sounds fair by the way, though in my defense, all but the first post came from a damn library computer. I've never been known for having stable internet, and it's been only recently when I got a laptop that I've been able to improve my posting habits. Use it against me like you try to use everything against me by blowing it out of proportion by insulting my humanity (lol humans are laughable, and so is any other race in existence that thinks they're better than everyone else), but that's simply what happened. I wouldn't have been surprised if my slow posting habits prevented me from losing, but as far as battle tactics go: Bane pointed out your own shield would've backfired in Cee's face, meanwhile there was no problem with how I had my NPCs stop that massive drill you and Negatomsk put together. Just sayin' ![]() I also don't try to make my characters seem inhuman in the sense of being pure evil, and I definitely haven't played "evil" characters enough times for you to make even a slight judgment call on that one. I mean, if you honestly thought I was trying to be "evil" when I came up with the Nigger Lovers I wasn't, which is alluded to rather clearly in his history. This pertains strictly to the idea that I don't try to create characters who revel in their own malevolent ways, I just write up whatever I think sounds like fun, and if I see a possibility to elaborate on and flesh out the full depths of their story then I will. But let's see what I got here... as far as evil goes. I'm not going to try defining any of my characters as evil for anyone, but I will toss down the ones who may qualify as doing things that people may not like, or seem "mean" Spoiler: click to toggle

Bane was a fucking retard though. If I remember correctly, Bane was Skye, and Skye was a filthy traitor. Thus, practically anything he said was incorrect. |

1 min ago What happens if you have a double layered electromagnetic field, and you use it to defend yourself against a lightning bolt? just now MithrilViper2000 "double layered"? yes Two electromagnetic fields, one inside the other. And someone shoots a lightning bolt at you. MithrilViper2000 doesn't work, the fields merge. if the lightning is of opposite charge as the field, the field repels the lightning just now MithrilViper2000 otherwise, if the charges match, the field helps attract the lightning towards you Share an Image or File |
