Edit: In fact, a lot of that came out wrong. I was feeling sorta down. Lemme rephrase.

Eh. I can't stop you. But, when it happens, do try to keep things fair? I would be annoyed if I had set up some gambit to ensnare the other team, only to have them escape through not luck, or skill, but deus ex machina. Cause that's what this threatens to become, and being beaten because of it? Yeah, not fun. For either side, by the way, if they outsmart me, they deserve to win. Impact pulling a super move out of his ass would be bullshit.

Justify how, exactly? Did you bother to send me a PM about what you wanted the scythetip to even do? All this time I thought you drilled a little hole into it and wore it as a pendant.

Well, I had sorta hoped that all the stuff I wrote in-character about the tip would sorta tip you off, but fair enough. The entire point was that some of Phantomere's influence would linger in the scythetip and... encourage Impact's evil side. This'd, for one, justify his
becoming an asshole CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, and, for another, give me the freedom to make a few other decisions, should they become necessary.
And hell, it's only a "rinky dink scythetip" because you say it is. If you say "It is affecting Impact's mind and making him more evil than he would be otherwise", then bam. It does that instead. If you say "It's a spaceship", it's a spaceship. Y'get my point.
In fact, screw character development. Make it a spaceship.

Honestly, I dunno why you continue to claim that Impact's not evil. The fact that Impact wanted to murder Renny just because he got handpicked to be the leader, without even thinking about why, spells villain with a capital V in my book.

Look, there's a difference between "rational thought" and "massive rage". He was possessed by the latter. Temporary insanity and all that jazz. And he probably wouldn't have shot Renny, even if it had been practical. I don't know (I was pretty angry myself when I made that post), but that wasn't his Very Evil Moment.

And let me just say that killing your friends with the scythetip does not make it or you more powerful. I'd rather you didn't entertain that thought because I'd rather I didn't find a way to kill your character in order to save everyone else.

Oh come on. This is from a Ruin General. Make it a source of character development, yes. Make it a source of power? Fuck no. Seriously, what gives you these ideas?
And why the threat? You can't honestly think that that was my plan. For that matter, you can't honestly think that any other character would die without your and that player's approval. Seriously, what do you take me for? Outside of PvP, no. Almost certainly not, unless, like I said, I get permission. In PvP, depends. If we play a real Free-for-all, no deals, no rules, then I'd be pissed if you stopped Impact from inflicting permanent damage.
But hell, if we make deals, if we agree on rules, if we ally, why'd I want to kill?
And even if I did, there'd be no need to threaten me with the death of my character. Like I said, if another character dies, only with your permission. I feel mildly insulted that you'd even think it necessary to warn me. Do I really seem that power-mad?
