The great problem with your logic Mintaro, that the lurch was the wing snapping. To structure the post dramatically, I had those inside the ship experience the effects of the attack's effects first and then jumped back few seconds in time and said what caused it. As I said, a few seconds is not really enough time to interfere with the outcome. The tail's pause was less than a second.

I am not saying that no-one can possibly hope to react. All I'm saying is that given the speed and position of the attack, I thought it more than reasonable to assume that no-one could do enough to meaningfully alter it's outcome. Whatever happens afterwards however is fair game. Like, for example, stop Kirakiri trying the exact same trick to the next engine along.

I am a co-GM and I have the obligation to try and get all the players involved. At current, having the airship in the sky limits involvement and so I must try to rectify that as quickly as possible. It could be argued I have taken certain liberties, but I considered if they seemed reasonable before doing them. Aside from your complaints, the only real issue raised was a brief mention of there momentarily being no-one being on deck, which I have rectified.

Let me try and illustrate a point about my own concerns.

Splattering over the surface of the creature and the airship she seeped herself between the enemy and the holes he had made. Then suddenly altering form again she made herself thicker. Filling in the holes and popping the creature out and pushing it away from the ship. Luckily this was done before much dammage could be done.

"Halt your attack less you bring about the Rage of Talkatz. This is the chariot of his servents." Chi said menacingly.

Can any of you honestly say, if you had your character's actions reacted to with a similiar post, that you'd be happy with that?

1.) You're treating the airship as if it were a character with similar levels of plot immunity, and secondly, prying Arhra free of the airship is a violation of T1 roleplaying rules. Please understand that the attack on the airship is a plot device (Oh, haven't we had plenty of those in this RP?) to allow the story to continue and the rest of us to have fun.

2.) Quite frankly, I don't care, but I find your comment to be rather scathing nonetheless. Are you insinuating those of us here do not have loved ones, or better ways to spend our time than arguing with you?

Mintaro, I would have been perfectly fine with your post if you'd set it just after the initial attack, elaborated on your actions a bit more, and not written it in a godmoding style. You dismissed Kirakiri's actions and declared a major effect on another's character. He could have swept the blood off or shifted his grip just as two examples. It's also quite hard to dislodge something gripping on to wood with it's claws like that.

If you're going to be so childish, then leave.

IHateMakingNames 03-27-2006 08:52 PM

Assuming Mintaro does leave (Since this is his second time doing so, I'm guessing he will be), what are we going to do with Sanjuro and Chi?

Death during this attack?

Ignore their existance?

They disappear during the crash?

Pyros controls them for his misadventures?

TheBlindMime 03-27-2006 08:56 PM

I'll throw in a last 2 cents, PyrosNine can control sanjuro or he can disappear/ not exist.

edit: furthermore they could have wandered off when sanjuro was refused by mesden's char. So they just wandered off. Wandering off is almost always a good solution.

Arhra 03-27-2006 09:00 PM

We'll have to put Chi under GM control until we can decide what to do with him.

DB and the members of Team Good on the airship, please post. I don't want the RP stalling because of this... unpleasantness and I don't want to keep everyone else waiting too long.

PyrosNine 03-27-2006 09:15 PM

I dunno if you would want to put more characters under my control. For I could have them all join forces and start TEAM JEREMY!

Pyros, Moriko, Falcon, possibly Raze, + Sanjuro? I'd be unstoppable! UNSTOPPABLE I SAY!

Talkatz would be dead and die, Kurama wouldn't fuck up the world's balance of good and evil, and All the villains would be given a serious sensory handicap and forced to live as orphan children!

CallmePrismatic 03-27-2006 09:54 PM

If it wouldn't piss too many people off, Mintaro especially, I'd kind of like to take over Chi. My plans for Grim have been hovering between two different outcomes and one of them relied heavily on Chi (it was too early to discuss it with Mintaro through Pms and whatnot), so I'd take the opportunity to keep the character in. I probably wouldn't have him do or say much, at all or specifically, that would bastardize all that Mintaro had worked towards, and of course I would stop thinking about Chi altogether if Mintaro wished.

Mesden 03-29-2006 09:46 PM

For those of you who didn't see the Avatar discussion thread or the Public announcement, Raiden is in the hospital.

His pain medicine caused some kind of relapse or it backfired. He passed out in his dorm and hir roomate got him into an ambulance.

I don't think we will be moving much right now. That is all for now.
