ooc Need for Heroes!

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

So, what you're saying is, you either;

 

A) Have a superiority complex, and don't like being ignored,

 

or

 

B ) Have overcome many obsticles and come out cocky?

Try this:

 

I am aware that I have skill. I am aware that I lack skill. Sometime I overestimate myself and sometimes I underestimate myself.

 

However, I am improving. I take every opportunity I can to improve, because that is my most sincere desire. Thus, I seek out trials, I look for ways to challenge myself. Sometimes, my dismissal of trials or statement of goals makes me come across as a jerk, but I try to avoid that.

 

This reflects itself in different ways. Wits wants to improve himself so that he can help other people, and gets annoyed when people question his skill and ability in a way that makes him seem unable to help the ones he cares about. Sunburn manifests it as a cool assuredness, where he acknowledges nothing and only reacts to destory his trials in his attempt to gain power.

 

They are both parts of me, and they effect me thus.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

I would just like to make a point... When I do something that I dont think is godmodding its godmodding but when everyone else god mods everyone turns there heads and ignore it ?

[InfinityWhale 771]

God-modding is usually when one character does not allow for reaction, or creates the reaction themselves.

 

Your flying away was god-modding because the Hoof had grabbed on to him. The Hoof did not grapple him perfectly: he acted in a method to grapple. Your character can still react. However, when you said that simply flew away without being capture, you did not give me time to react, and furthermore you did not react at all. God-modding is a bad name, but is the one that we have, for abusing interactions with characters. I guess it refers to playing god, and taking command of the system, when it is a shared system, where everyone works together.

 

I'm COULD call killing the police officers as god-modding against me... but controlling all the police all the time is too long, so people can just control where they will and ask me to take direct control if necessary.

 

OC: Sunburn

Faction: Villains

Nickname: The Burning King

Description of powers and/ or skills: Relatively advanced strength as a pony. Supreme combat skills. And by supreme combat skills, that means that if he goes up against any other pony with his level of strength or less, he will win. Above strength depends on situation to situation, but he KNOWS what he is doing, and he can kill easily.

Description of costume(if any): Business casual suit, fedora, plenty of guns.

 

Sunburn is the mob boss who runs Manehattan. He knows every petty criminal and every illicit joint in the entire city. He has no mercy, no remorse, nothing but pure power and skill. When the police fell, he gained a lot of power and money. He likes his power and money, and is not happy with their resurgence. He is known as the Burning King due to his intensity and control. He isn't afraid to use thuggery, finesse, bribery, anything when it will get him what he wants.

As a person, he shows no true emotion, because he feels none. He can, however, act extremely well, pulling off whatever facade he needs to in order to win. Most who follow him do so out of either some sort of twisted sense of respect or absolute terror, both of which tend to justified. He has never been caught, killing any cop who has been sent after him.

Mostly, he operates as an opposite number to Wits. He focuses on destroying any system that opposes his, increasing chaos, and weakening his foes before he goes in for the kill. He is strong, but has his weaknesses. He will use his allies to his benefit, not to theirs. He doesn't care about trying to help others or convert them. You are with him, or you are dead.

 

 

Also, can we make the average age of ponies in the RP about 25? I mean, they are highly skilled police officers, and 19 is REALLY pushing it.

 

Bumping this for the Octavinyl's sake, because I'm assuming you don't want to go on an Archive Binge.

I actually just missed what you said. I didn't know that the hoof had tackled him. and what you did was more god modding than what I did, The Hoof flew out of Nowhere. the mayor just happens to land on Sapphires back.

when The Hoof tackled Windward that was just a mistake on my part I missed your post.

I also edited my post if you didn't see it.

The Hoof came out of nowhere because that's kind of his style. I mean, its not so much god-modding as it is a dramatic entry. I could have just as easily said "The Hoof was on a building then jumped off after seeing Windward", but it just doesn't have quite the same style.

 

The mayor landed on Sapphire's back because of similar reasons. She could have seen him falling then caught him as he landed, but its so much funnier and cooler when he just lands on there.

 

God-modding effects results, not style. Important distinction there.

Thats like saying windward just dodged The Hoof's attack and kept flying.

When I said that windward sent a wall of wind at the police and sped himself up with his powers Nightfall said that that was godmodding which it wasn't.

But you didn't say that. You didn't acknowledge my actions at all, whatsoever. Style is one thing, interplayer interactions are another, being what RP is based off of. If you had said that he dodged it, I could have had the Hoof react in any number of ways. Instead, you simply ignored me.

 

I believe that the god-modding was, in Nightfall's opinion, saying that the police officers were unable to find him.

I Ignored you because I missed your post which I have now fixed.

Also the mayor was falling with all of us so we all would have landed near or on top of Sapphire. I just dont get why me, who is Not godmodding is the only one being told that I am god modding. I did not just ignore your post I just didn't read it accidentally.

I have had enough arguing, so lets just get back to the RP.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

The god-modding in the case of the police at the station was more because you didn't describe it very well. However, it would possibly be possible for Windward to do what he did, if you had described yourself fighting through the checkpoint gate, disabling the security cameras, fighting through the hallways, and reaching the Mayor's office. Don't you remember when you did this sort of thing the first time?

 

 

And you're right, I took some liberties, but that was because you said A) You dropped the Mayor, and B ) You grappling with the Hoof could've been ariel. I did acknolodge your guys's existance, saying that the Hoof could handle it, and suggesting they move on to a different crime.

Edited October 7, 2012 by Dawnpath

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

What do you mean at the police station Windward was never at the station.

Windward landed on the roof of the town hall and broke in that way, and he did not disconnect the security cameras because there was no need he would be in then out again, thats why (Before I knew you were in control of the mayor) I made the mayor say that the police would be there any minute. And he never went threw the checkpoint gate.

But I am sick of this arguing lets just get back to the RP.

[InfinityWhale 771]

You mean you are sick of being wrong? I mean, I know I've god-modded, and we all prolly have, but its best to admit it and move on. No judgement here, man. We're all doing this as friends. Just admit your mistakes and we can all improve together.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

I meant town hall. My brain does stupid stuff sometimes when I'm multi-tasking, it can be hard for the rest of me to keep up fromt time to time.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

I am not sick of being wrong I am sick of not knowing where and how I godmodded I fixed the thing with you, and as for the mayors office... I have no idea why everyone thinks that's god modding... windward broke in, he killed a couple guards, he walked into the mayors office, Windward was seen by the cameras and the police were told.

If I had godmodded than I would admit it and apologize, I hate getting into debates they stress me out so I would not have said anything, I said that because I dont see where I god modded.

Can we just drop this? Nobody cares about the Mayor anyway. You should just read whats happening now and rope yourself into that instead of starting something new.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Ok since I have missed so much in the RP I am just going to kill windward and then just join in with the same character only a new name and different powers, also I am going to make him a hero, Sorry for the confusion.

I will post the new character later I have to go now.

[InfinityWhale 771]

I answered it Snails, just a in a quick post after that. Correct your post, please.

 

I'm off for today guys. See you all later.

 

The closer she got, the further around her head turned and the deeper she blushed, "I- I- The other alley, when I said that your plot was so beautiful to look at it was unhealthy, I started getting these weird feelings, and I dunno about myself anymore, she put her head down on the ground and covered her eyes*

 

(They. Are. In. An. Alley. Infinity. You alright man?)

 

It said something about Sapphire seeing Den, which confused me... But yeah, I think I'll get off for real today. I'm way to tired to RP.

I can't explain this without spoiling a lot of things that I have planned, but you really need to have Wits go along with the game. If you start sending cops, I'm going to have to throw away all of the things I have planned for the last week. Plus, due to surcumstances I can't explain without spoiling everything, doing that would cause a lot more death than the other option by a margin of about fifty thousand.

[InfinityWhale 771]

I don't know. You haven't really convinced me Wits would need to respond realistically. He's a police officer. He doesn't respond to stupid games.

 

Since I'm a big troper, here's a list of tropes associated with some of my chars.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Sooooo, how would you classify Den? Or maybe Maven? Heck, I'd even like to know how you classify Sapphire. For the halibut.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

So... I am just going to say Windward imploded or something... I want him to die so I can start a new character

 

Faction: Hero

 

Title: The Fire Lord

 

Description of powers and/ or skills: He has the ability to control fire and lighting (Yes I am copying Avatar the last airbender )

 

Description of costume(if any): He has a black full body suit that has flames starting from the hooves and moving up the legs, and then a solid black mask that only he can see threw.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

 

Classify Jack, please!

 

No, we have enough heroes. Everyone in this RP is a hero except Karasu! Wits had to go and make Speedy and Magneus into cops, and now we only have one villain! Make him a villain. We don't need heroes right now.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Now Now Snail, you may have to read the front page; the rule not only applies to villains, but heros. Buuuuut, I could make an evil pony... Hmm...

Easy for you to say. You aren't fighting every OC in the RP because Wits had to go and turn all the Villains into heroes.

[InfinityWhale 771]

Speedy is only iffily one the side of good, she could turn back very quickly.

 

And Sunburn has just joined, who is at least as good as three heroes in terms of villainy.

 

In terms of classification, I don't think I could do it very well. You should just look up tropes for yourself.
