That's if this was strictly an SRP (Story RP), but its not. Its a CRP Format (Clan RP). Wars are typically all about the fighting aspect of things. Besides, I'd say this outcome was pretty much inevitable. I mean, even from the start of the space battle, it was a constant one-up brawling in a true DBZ fashion. In such RP Fights where each side is gradually becoming more and more powerful in an attempt to win, you end up hitting the "limits" of what characters are capable of.

What you see going on now, for both sides in this, are the fully unleashed potential for all characters involved. Just how it goes, really. All that's left is to just ride it out.

By the way, nice try Slayer ^_^

And daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, who would've guessed Rize's Black Angel was THAT badass? XD

I'll be posting uh...hmm... Prolly Sunday or something? I've been spending most of my free time on this and, well, I need a break so that I can get a few other things accomplished, know what I mean? I'll be spending Friday and Saturday doing just that (I recently just applied to my first college, by the way. So yeah, I've got a lot of other things on my mind at the moment).

Later days. (Huh...I know I've heard that saying being used by someone else... Oh well, I reckon they'll backhand me if they manage to see this, lol)

They're all very uninteresting, and purely focused on being the biggest, baddest, ass-kicking character in online roleplay. Where's the dialogue? The story? What motivation does everyone's character have for being involved here?

Let's work on making this interesting, and stop focusing on out-pwning the opposing side. I haven't seen but a coupe posts that I'd want to come back and read later - it's all focused on combat. Write something memorable, something real, and something that will be interesting and fun to read for years to come.


This fight has crossed a line of no return, at this point waving the white flag and saying "Guys.. GUYS!! Come on!! Notch it down please,' whilest sitting on the sidelines wont do anything to mediate the situation. Action is the only thing that speaks. Action dictates that this war is going to be the knock-out-drag-out-over-the-top-insane-amount-of-power fight that it's been thus far.

There is a story. I've set a definite story regarding my characters here. I don't appreciate you telling me that my characters have no depth to them, because frankly it's offensive. I was here when you were calling people into this war and you still haven't joined the war, yourself.

:evil:

What you've said makes sense, but it's only something that's been reiterated a thousand times. You're pretty much wasting your breath on this issue.

As much as I like writing, there's really not much I have to work with here, which would explain why I haven't been, coupled with the fact that Arrogance is acting like a goddamn mad-scientist in the chat-room coming up with diabolical schemes to take out the opposition.

He's crazy, I tells ya.

As for the Planetary Fleet, yeah, I'll admit that's some definite overkill on the powers...and it took a few days of constant nagging to even get me to consider coming back into the space-thread.

So if you have any qualms about what we're doing, you can yell at him.

Frankly, with the whole power thing, I'll admit that my characters can become overpowered to an extent.

And I have plenty of much weaker characters who'd have been decimated by such lethal attacks. Originally, Alutrosity and Agron did play a key role back in the old days while we were on the original Terra.

But yeah, as a side-note I'm reaching that point where I'd rather just let Agron be killed, however I honestly don't appreciate when it someone tries to snuff him out in a blatant auto-connect. I'm not saying I haven't committed massive amounts of damage, but never to the point of where I simply attack-kill in the same post.

Really, I'm not trying to rag on you or anything, but that's WAY too much overkill for one post.

Sooner or later though, I think that we're going to have to come to a mutual conclusion for this war, otherwise neither side is going to be satisified. I really don't like pulling that card out, trust me I HATE THAT CARD, but it's reaching that point where it needs to at least be taken into account.

Someone please delete that moronic post, made by Reno?

Honestly, that post was more idiotic than the message it portrayed, and is really in all truth, one big retarded spam.

If you're out of the war, then stay out. Don't fill up the fucking IC-thread with bullshit.

Probably just a bug in the system, or whatever program that was being used, accidentally merged two portions of the threads in-part because they have similar names.

That's my only guess.

No I took some highly offensive posts from the thread and accidentally merged the space with the ground threads, I have asked someone with a better grasp on the merge mechanics to rectify the situation.

So like, when exactly are those posts gonna get put back? Or is someone doing this on purpose for some unknown reason? Its been a while now, starting to look somewhat suspicious.

The staff have been appraised of the situation, and I'm sure one of them will get around to repairing the thread in their own good time. The primary difficulty is checking the individual posts to make sure each is put in its proper place, which can be tedious work.

Jii, there is nothing suspicious. I'd say Skallagrim was rather honest about what he did and one cannot expect instantaneous (or in this case, tree days) turn-around. If you do not want to be held up, create new threads, and when this situation is resolved they can be merged back in to the original. That would be a better option than, say, sowing seeds of dissent or complaining.
conditio sine qua non

I have asked as well that someone fix the problem, I took them all by accident when I was merely trying to remove some posts that had crossed the line and violated the rules of the board from the thread. I thought I merged them back properly but I placed them in the wrong war thread. I am leaving it for someone who has a better grasp on how to split and merge the posts properly because honestly I don't want to screw it up.

Since it has been rectified you can all go on killing each other with glee and wild abandon in both land and space. Cheers.

And after all this chit-chat about how we're not supposed to be using Godly, characters you come out and throw in some character that apparently manages the universe?

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid with the new character who I've been spending the last two days detailing up and am about to bring into this thread, even something that uberly powerful won't be able to stop him.

I'm just going to let you know right here and now, that the very existence of your character: Lomedia is going to bring about the death of it.

This time I really should have my post up tonight. I never realized, I'd be spending this much time with detail, though.
