yup. 8 bit theatre; ripping casuality a new one.

KO does NOT equal death. We are forgetting here how much this world is influenced by dnd. KO is from having 0 hp. Once you reach -10 hp, you're dead. You can't be healed, and depending on the circumstances, might not be able to be ressurected (for example being dismantled, disintigrated, and having your ashes strewn across a mountanside by, oh, say, a volcano.) Death results in a corpse devoid of life. It cannot be revived by a pheonix down! Maybe if cleric were there, he could have done a true ressurection on Black Belt, but he wasn't, now, was he?

Oh, by the way, when is a white mage fully dressed?

Note the rope was taken down on THERE end. Personally I have images of BB Yanking hard on the rope and run accross super fast in Focus Mode (for you Jade Empire fans) before the rope went into the Lava.

You know one way to resolve all this. Have DEATH give BB a come back option and BB say no to it. Maybe even have his second funeral at his old Dojo.

Well, yes, but maybe he didn't know the Volcano erupted.

...Wait... SHIT!

Okay, here's what happened. The volcano erupted, but he didn't realize it, and thus didn't die from it... As opposed to BB1 who could see and feel getting diced into bite-size pieces, or BB2 who got Stone'd right in front of his past self's eyes. However, the eruption would cause a Cave-In, causing a great big boulder (suspiciously BlackMage-shaped) to fall down and smack his head, causing supreme and permanant Amnesia (Thus voiding him of all identity of "Black Belt") if it somehow didn't kill him immediately.

HA! All Black Belts are now officially and totally dead, be it physically or philosophically.

What? Uh, the volcanic eruption doesn't matter. It didn't kill him. He died of kary chopping him up into hamburger meat. The eruption just destroyed his remains. You don't need to know about that, it just sorta happens. BB2 is now dead. Who is this third BB with the amnesia?

Loyal · 11-11-2005, 11:22 AM

The one invented by folks who are desparate for BB-Revival that they'd consider that Black Belt to be a third?

Here's how that is exactly what happens.
- Our notion of existence is defined by the passage of time, something begins to exist, it ceases to exist
- Time is defined by causality, events in the past are linked to events in the present, which result in events in the future. In essence, something is because something before caused it, and the future is an abstract because it is not yet caused.
- Causality is bound in the physical universe to things like motion and entropy, anything related to energy transfer.
- Remove all energy from the universe, motion stops, causality no longer functions, time itself ceases to have any meaning, so the universe itself is essentially dead.

Very dead.

As dead as... Black Belt.

Because Black Belt is dead.

Twice.

But I doubt White Mage will ever hear me laughing over the roar of her failure.

time is an illusion. it only describes the behaviour of space.

but as such, it doesn't really exist. for example, we are continiously being transported from one parallel universe to another, where all matter is arranged just slightly different. therefore, all change is static, for there exists another universe where the matter is unchanged. Of course, it is inaccessible from another universe, hence "time" travel is impossible. Unless, of course you were to arrange all matter in exactly the same way, that it was arranged in at a reference universe, but then - there is no guarantee that it will lead to the same results, since possibilities are infinite.

Kurosen · 11-11-2005, 12:08 PM

There is no "third" Black Belt.

Also, while I approve of W0rf's interpretation of why the 8BT universe is the way it is even though White Mage "made" it, there's actually a specific reason right within the comic itself when White Mage went to the past.

No, time is another dimension. You know how a cube holds an infinite number of squares? Time holds an infinite number of cubes. We are in fact 4 dimensional creatures, however we only know how to move through the dimension one way; forward. Change is only static when examined point by point- bear in mind, since we pass through time at a steady rate, to our perception, change is continuous. Time travel is only impossible because we do not know enough about it. And on the topic of parallel universes, there can only be an unchanged universe with the cessation of all energy. The universe can't be looked at frame by frame, it leaves out the continuity of time.

And yeah, I don't think that's a third black belt. I think he's just so friggin stupid he cheated physics again.

Also, I think we can learn from black belt's example.
This, kids, is why you should never get stoned.
It makes you lose your head.

Ah, the good old 'every moment is a universe' theory. That was briefly popular back in 2001, I think it was. There were several sci-fi novels that included it, which is probably where iddqd heard it.
I haven't actually taken a class that included string theory and all that fun stuff yet, so I won't go opening my yap. I would appreciate it if someone with an actual knowledge of contemporary dimensional physics could tell us what is currently accepted to be 'right'.

Willowhugger · 11-11-2005, 01:33 PM

Seriously though, if you wanted to bring Black Belt back....

You don't need him to have a complicated ressurection (which would be non-8bit ish.)

Just have him show up one day.

BM: BUT YOU'RE DEAD!?

BB: I beat up death and came back.

Fighter: The Castlevania Death right and not the cute Gaiman Goth chick right?
