Sounds rough mate, have fun with that

neeways, So, Lexi, basically I wanna install some specialty stuff; pretty much a device installed beneath the armor to create a force field that sits just over top the exterior of the mech like a skin and dampens Energy Based damage. I figure it wouldn't actually change the armor rating given how spec fields/armors and such work to keep the rating deceptively low and his is fairly lowish to begin with.

Thing is, you're already performing at maximum. So to add anything new, you absolutely have to take away from somewhere else

The reason specialized defenses can keep a rating low is because you can defend against a single threat with very little. So say you have 2 defense and dedicate it all to defending against hammers, so that your anti-hammer defenses is on par with like a 10 in general defenses. You can do that (energy is a good bit broader than hammers, was just making an example). But you can't have 3 defense be general defense and also be the same level of general defense plus a specialized energy shield. I hope that makes sense

But there's an easy remedy: Just weaken your kinetic armor some and you can add an energy shield without changing your ratings. Since it's not a particularly strong energy shield, you don't even need to take that much out of the kinetic armor. Just keep in mind that whatever amount of energy you want to defend against, that much more damage will come from kinetic attacks

Alright was worth a shot I guess...yeah, figured there was a chance you wouldn't go for that. But never hurts to test the waters a bit, eh?

anyways, Kinetic armor seems a fair and logical tradeoff... and given his mech's ability, it's not really like he needs all that kinetic protection if the TF is already the primary means dealing with most of it so...kinda a bit over compensated on that front to begin with, in hindsight... (though I did get the combat balance of relying equally on both Mech ability and Specialty shield for defense a bit better with Tesla's build in TPoS, so, better late than never for Sully I guess)

But I'm a selfish bastard and I want people to post for me in the food car-!!!

I honestly don't really know how Morgan should react TBH. That, and I was waiting for K_H to do something just in case he wanted to do something. I can think of something in the meantime. Just give me until later tonight or tomorrow morning and I'll have something up.

Edit: How many times did I use "something" in the same post? Five times now? I probably could have worded that better.

Lawrence doesn't know whether there is or isn't any; he just assumed there were. Who in their right minds doesn't provide medical aid if needed to the people that they're trying to support?

He might even think that the Gods are pretty dense for diamonds if there's no medical staff whatsoever...

Well I mean sure he can not know all he wants. But I've been running on a "if you don't know it's there, it isn't there" way of doing things both OOC and IC, so he'd have to be severely lacking in genre savvy to- Oh wait, never mind, carry on

But just FYI, there's no medical staff. And there's really no reason for there to be

OKAY. WE'RE BACK

SORT OF

So Ima pull this thing out of its grave. Shortly I'll be noping the current chapter and placing us at the start of the next chapter. Any current NPC interactions will have their results relayed OOC

Travel phase is out for good. I'm still trying to figure out a better way to inject story; this one is too slow

You all have one week to reply to this OOC stating that you're still here. Afterwards anyone who isn't still here will have their character turned into an NPC or outright replaced. Strat knows why the latter is a scary prospect~

^Please, for the love of god ya'll, respond... you really don't wanna see or fight who is in the reserves for this competition... trust me.

neeways, I think my stance goes without saying since... it's me. Looks like I'll be able to eventually try out sully's new mech alterations after all

Alright, so, been the week, no K_H. Lawrence shall thus be poofed:

Lawrence severely injured his pinky toe while searching for medical staff and because of his indignation towards the lack of medical attention available to him, he quit this farce of a competition to live out his life as a lifeguard, using his grapple hands to help rescue women from drowning. He had some trouble finding a place to work, but it seems a pool in the Plane of Wrath was able to accommodate him

Replacing him shall be...

Temperance Lucas! She'll be taking his place in the tournament, including his win/loss ratio

With exactly 3 million Favor, she placed ninth in the pre-competition, just barely failing to make it into the main tournament. Alongside her older brother (not literally, she just calls him that) Adam, she's got potential to be Lord's chosen successor. And unlike him, she doesn't have attitude issues. She is among those who have received an artificial mech from the Diviner

(Her mech looks like this, sorta, since I can't seem to describe it well)

I'll be infodumping NPC interactions tomorrow. If there's anything you specifically want me to include there, please mention it. Otherwise I'll just use my best judgement (the Diviner and Blink's interactions will definitely be included). The next IC should show up within a few hours of the infodump

In preparation for the next audience,

Ruler of the Plane of Gluttony, the Ninth God: Ice Gryffin (AKA Lain Argyle) has been added to the NPCs section

Former ruler of the Plane of Gluttony, the Fourth God: Wine has been added to the NPCs section

Also, I'm still not quite sure what I'll be doing for the new "social" phase. Suggestions are welcome

You all have one week"

Alright, so, been the week, no K_H"

25-18=7

9:07-6:30=2:37

There were 7 days, 2 hours, and 37 minutes between the announcement post and the cancellation. That's 2 hours and 37 minutes longer than a week. In other words, there was a grace period and you still missed it

Furthermore, your post was made 3 hours and 15 minutes after my closing post, which puts your post at 5 hours and 52 minutes beyond the technical deadline. This means it took you 7 days, 5 hours, and 52 minutes (almost 6 hours, 1/4th of a day) to find the thread. If you're going to take over a week to find the thread and post to remain part of the RP. What reason have I to trust you to post at any interval less than that?

Not that it really matters what your excuse is. You missed the deadline. Had you been even one half-second before I posted (which, again, was 2:37 after the deadline), I would have immediately rescinded my post. But as you can clearly see, your post appears after mine on the forums, which means you did not post before me and therefore I shall accept no excuse

And despite your statement, there were no "hopes" involved here. Everyone received equal treatment. Up until ~10:30 this morning I was prepared to include Acqui among the missing, despite the fact that I speak to her semi-regularly outside of RPs. There was no notification given to her beyond the one made in the thread. I made no outside mentions to Komodojoe or Bfroger or anyone else letting them know that if they didn't check the OOC soon they would be excluded. The playing field was entirely level. Those who saw my status on the 14th may have had slightly advanced warning that this was returning. But nobody, not even Strat (to whom I speak about TTG at least three days a week) was notified of the deadline in advance of his posting in this thread

To sum up: No, you are not still in on this. Regardless of your excuse, you did not meet the deadline for continued participation in this RP

With Hope,

Lexi
