Really, it brings about a lot of interesting dynamics again.
True, but is it worth it?
You're missing the main benefit.
It gives us a chance to fix the game.

I think y'all misunderstood my previous query. These people exist? Specifically the game-breaking ones.

Why would you have it?

Really hot stick. Hit a battlesuit in the leg with it. Battlesuit can't move now.
Equally true of any stick, if you hit it in the right place.
But with a really hot stick you dont have to hit it as accurately or as hard to disable the joint.
Depends on how hot the stick is.

Okay not arguing anymore but ill just say this because you called me an idiot and i cant let that stand, if you cant see the difference in application between a rudimentary lightsaber and a tiny dollop of molten metal when compared to burning through stuff then im sorry but you sir are completely retarded. Whether or not i have seen the video is irrelevant as you personally informed me of its contents.
And you assumed that it was "a tiny dollop" which "couldn't eat through a stack of CDs". Which is not what I said.
And yes, it is relevant because you're trying to use the same physical property. You're just using it with a harder target and a lower heat differential, yet expecting vastly superior results.

Hell if I know. Can't think of anything else it could be, though.

Overthrowing the Layar? Shit, sounds tempting. But that means a lot of the lore would have to be retconned. Like all the stuff with Ashley and the void gate.
Not a problem to me. The lore I made for Hell can go on unmolested!


Although wait. If the original characters wake up and discover they were in a simulation, why are all the other characters also there?

It's the power source from Mission 1, which I never actually sold to Milno (?) in the hopes that I could unlock it and use it to power the amp factory or something.
Let's see how that goes.

2a. You're missing my point. If your sword inside was hot enough to quickly reheat the sword outside, it would already have heated up the sword outside, which would mean it can't heat up the outside quickly once it cools down. All it could do is reheat it slowly.
2b. No, it still has to deal with heat. Unless battlesuits project an anti-laser forcefield, the heat has to be dealt with (at least briefly) before being spread over the surface.
4. So? Knowledge of science is good if you want to make the really cool stuff...or if you want your cool stuff to not suffer from critical flaws upon the application of physics.
5. It's really the same issue, unless your lightsaber is somehow thick enough to cut through the battlesuit without the heat, in which case why are you bothering? And don't talk about how inapplicable a video must be if you haven't seen it, you made yourself look like an idiot.
6. ...Why aren't you waiting until you get home?

Works for me.

1. I'm...not going to touch this.
2a. Then the inside of the tube would heat the outside of the tube before the blow, which negates your point.
2b. No, the filaments need to be heat-resistant to avoid melting while they're distributing heat away.
3. You didn't say that.
4. You can't use that inventiveness if you don't science.
5. Ad hominem. How mature.
6. ...What?

And let's assume that logic's applicable--and it is, if not to that extent.
I was dealing with this point.
Wrong logic. The logic of "Everyone else is OP, so that's why Sen needs to be OP".

Quote
Anyways, it's kinda pointless to argue any point related to or likewise similar to the topic of if a person is OP or not. How about we do something constructive.
Like what we can do to make the game fun again for those that are losing interest?
Like I said, restart and keep it from spiraling out of control.

657
Um.

You're not actually dealing with points I made.
Or points in any way related to points I made.
Or points that look like points I made.

658
Sen is also a demon, so a lot of the Human limits aren't applicable to her. Yes, Sen is meant as a Utility based character. That is how I made her. How else would she be useful with all the other characters who are indestructible?
You misunderstand. I'm not saying that she shouldn't be able to have her power for fluff reasons. I'm saying that, from a game balance perspective, she's broken.
And let's assume that logic's applicable--and it is, if not to that extent. What does that imply for the balance of the rest of the game? "Everyone's OP, so I need to be too!"

Why are people arguing Jim vs Xan all the time? For that matter, why the hell am I always the guy people want to use as a metric?
Everyone knows, loves, and fears you.
For this one, because Jim is the epitome of everything Xan claims is suicidal in the modern jungles of Urbania.

Three people have 15+ tokens; hoarders need to reinvest into the economy!
Agreed! Don't you know we're just coming out of a depression?

EDIT:  If it's friendly and consensual, it's all fun.  If it's aggressive, Jim cracks down on it.
A lewder man than I could make a joke at that. A funnier man than I could make it worth reading.

1. No...no it really isn't. It's not only messy and PR-destroying, it's horribly inefficient. And don't get me started on collateral damage...
2a. I'm making the point that your tube would be losing heat. Not as fast as something that isn't being heated, but it would.
2b. Except that the fibers are still obviously heat-resistant.
3. Your design states that it's supposed to go to 3500. That's kinda my point.
4. Um, yes you do. piecewise requires that your designs work by science.
5. ...That's not what you said a moment ago. Or if it is, you're phrasing it in a way that's trying to make it sound like you're disagreeing with me without being wrong.
