| Yes. Most, but not all. It's usually the heavy hitters that will cause a problem or a dispute in a battle. We should set up a panel, just in case it happens so that we are prepared.
And I agree on the 'admitting defeat' idea. Seems very fair. |

| Receiving message.....
Connecting... Connecting... "Good morning. Glad to see you could make it. Hahaha, but then again, you can't really see me, can you? This transmission is severely classified and confidential. My name is General C. Hein, the commanding officer of teams Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie. So you wish to join against the insurgency eh? Well, soldier, I'm going to tell you right now, there is a 99% possibility you will not make it out of there alive. Still interested? Good. Then listen on." Analyzing.... Analysis complete. Subject is in combat-ready status. Rank...unconfirmed. Please enter the following into your headcom... Full Name: Previous Rank: On-Field Expertise: "As your headcom is instructing you do, please enter your full name as well as your rank on any previous team or army you have been a part of. As for On-Field Expertise, let me explain that to you. On Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie, each member is assigned a specific expertise...one that can benefit the rest of your comrades. The Arbiters are fierce enemies...faster, tougher, and more intelligent. Teamwork is your only saving grace. I'm entering the available and necessary On-FIeld Expertises now..." Analyzing... Data transfer complete. On-Field Jobs... 1) Assault- The Assault Soldier specializes in rushing into enemy territories. They are necessary for breaking thick enemy lines so that his fellow teammates can secure the perimeter. Assaults are given 5 fragmentation grenades, one FX23-531Battle Assault Rifle, Heavy Duty FXS-1223 Armor, and standard issued grade equipment. 2) Medic- The Medic specializes in fast healing injections that are necessary for the survival of teammates when under heavy fire.

End Data Transmission... "Alright. Now, to a little background. In the year 102 AI., Earth was struck by a race of superior aliens known as the Arbiters. The world was split into three countries, each with the same goal: destroy the Arbiters. The countries were: America, Asia, and Africa. We launched everything we could at them...but it was all in vain. Not even the destructive power of the atoms were enough to defeat their ships. Plus, we never fought aliens like these before. The same way we use metal and steel to create our technology, they use biological organisms for their own technology. It's something we've never seen before. It is now the year 135 AI. The Arbiters have successfuly taken over all of Earth, wiping out an immense population of the human race. Now, it is no longer an invasion...it is an extermination. Frankly, I doubt we have any chance of surviving them. But I want to give them hell before we go. And this is where you come in. We need soldiers to unleash the final assaults against their military fortresses, which we believe are directly linked to their ships as well as their mother planet. We destroy these fortresses, we can destroy them. The Arbiters are amazing beings. They seperate themselves into different classes, distinguished by their unusual appearances. We'll get into the different classes after you register. It's already been proven that the Arbiters are stronger, faster, more intelligent, and have more fire power. That is why teamwork is absolutely crucial to yours and our success. Still think you can do this soldier? If so, enter your information into your headcom."

| I'm so happy I'm retired. ^.^
Anyways, welcome to the board. yet another Shin-ra member eh? It's strange cause I was actually recruited to Anfiniti into another clan to take down Shin-ra. Too bad there's not much of the actual clan left. 
But whatevers, try to enjoy the other forums, not just simbattling. Alright? Cheers. |

| Dialogue also leaves you vulnerable. ^.^
Haha, you guys are funny. What I can't help but find amusing is that people actually get super mad or ridiculously pissed when they lose or whenthey are forced into a bad predicament. It's like simbatlling is the only thing they can think of. Honestly, there really isn't anything to get mad about in simbattling which makes me wonder why people often fall prey to lame threats and insults in order to lure them into some random battle. "Oooooh. You don't want to fight me? You must be scared that I'm going to kick your ass!!" "Oh yes. I'm terrified that you're going to use some words online against a person you never met before to defeat some online character that I created. Yes, I'm shaking in my boots." As for pride and honor? Well, they should be non existant in a battle because simbattle has nothing to do with pride and honor. It's about having fun (see Rule 5.  )
By the way, here's the reason why I started to bring those moves which Shuyin was referring to in his first post. It's because everyone else was getting absolutely ridiculous and absorbing everything thrown that I throw at them. And some of the moderators, who did that as well, didn't see it as wrong. So that's when I decided to introduce those. But mind you...currently, I think only 5 of my massive list of attacks still actually has that. |

| "As i said..no insult intended..but this is the kind of thing i saw way back when i was starting out. "No teleporting ever..its really cheap" "A doppleganger? Thats cheap" "I'm not going to read six paragraphs in a sim..thats stupid". A proper sim is 60% skill and 40% writing. Personally, i don't think my character has a SINGLE attack i could describe in a single paragraph. He is far too well thought out for that"
Then by all means, describe to your heart's content. Heck, the same applies with my attacks. They've been dished out to probably at least 2-3 paragraphs. But you must understand one thing. Our board is filled with newbie simmers. It's near impossible that this newbie simmer is actually going to take the time to read your entire post. It's a matter of finding the right person to fight with or RP with. It's as simple as that. "3: It is next to impossible to use a well-developed character in a fight and only post 2-3 paragraphs. It just doesn't work. " You're absolutely right. We're talking about the 10+ paragraphs. 2-3 is hardly enough to describe anything if you ask me. "2: The school of simming i am used to states that description = power/effectiveness. Writing a paragraph describing a fireball is a lot more effective than simply stating "fireball". Not to mention the fact that the more descriptive a fight is, the more options a given fighter has. "Slashes at whoever" just isn't going to cut it in a swordfight. " One thing I've always told my students when I was unretired was that you might as well kill yourself if you're going to make such undetailed posts because you're handing the battle to your opponent. Description is good. We encourage it. But let's just say we don't want 3+paragraphs on a single fireball. ^_~ |

Originally posted by ShuyinOriginally posted by Sparda Yes, I trained several people. But I left it up to them how they wished their magic attacks be produced. I never exactly told them to go and "make magic attacks as strong as mine because I'm the man and i rule all". 
Most amateur simbattlers are like amateur Xbox live players, especially when it comes to fighting games. When a veteran uses a certain move, the amateur will copy this move over and over again without knowing why this veteran used this move in the first place. Get my picture? |

Originally posted by Shuyin On the contrary Shuyin, I got the Heavyweight fair and square cause I totally raped Benja. Mind you, it was worth it because I had to get through two of his lackies (who happened to simbattle better than he did). Though the battle for heavyweight started on Anime-US, it ended on MoD. And of course, since the Title/Belt rules hadn't been in place before I left, I ended up with two titles...Heavyweight and Legends. But since I retired, I simply gave them away seeing as how I really didn't need them. The only reason I actually gave back Benja his belt was because he's been the Heavyweight Title owner before me for as long as I can remember. As for Kaijin, he was runner-up, so I felt he deserved to get it. |

| Instead of making my decision, Reno, I implore you to first seek me out and contact me because there are several things you said that really doesn't click for me.
You said: You never stated the whole sword was capable of cutting through Diamond, nor did you state the edge was capable of doing so either. You didn't state the the WHOLE sword was able to do, thus, I can react to it how I want, because there is nothing there that logically prevents me from doing so. Well, according to Shaddow's description, he said 'the weapon' can cut through diamond. He didn't say "a part of the weapon" nor did he say "only the edge". He said "The Weapon" as a whole, which in other words, contradicts what you mentioned earlier. Unless you take the word "weapon" to mean only a part of the "weapon as a whole", I really don't see your point there. According to...err..one of you people's logic (either Shaddow's or yours because I lost count whose logic it is) as well as linking this to my above statement, the edge doesn't have to be the only part that cuts. Heck, it could be the entire thing that cuts you. After all, Shaddow did mention 'the weapon' as a whole. You mentioned: Using the same logic as you, I could state that my forehead has the special magical ability to resist all forms of edges, leaving out any form of explanation, I could literally just say 'Because'. And by your logic, that would be fine Well, the fact of the matter is...you didn't. Therefore, your forehead is not resistant to all forms of edges. And even if it were resistant to edges, the hilt or the handle could have hit you instead and the same effect would have been achieved had the edge hit you without your special resistance since Shaddow clearly mentioned "the weapon" can cut through diamond...not "the edge of the weapon" which are two entirely different things. Heck, even if all of this was forgetten, Shaddow still would not be dead...because the wires holding his character down is in fact made of swiss cheese. Like I said, Pm me or something. EDIT: After some thinking and talking to Reno, I honestly think that he shouldn't be DQed. Therefore, I rule against his loss in his fight with Shaddow. Personally, i think it's better to let this battle play out without having that ordeal staining it. I mean sure, that cheese thing wasn't the best way to go about things, but there was certainly another big way Reno could have survived that sword to the head and mind you, thats what I would have done to avoid the blow. Oh yeah...btw...the swiss cheese wire thing was a joke. >.O (Last edited by Sparda on 07-22-05 05:58 AM) |

| But the truth of the matter is...Leviathan has no reason to care. He was not really affected by the attacks. The deaths of these people have nothing to do with him. It's not like he knew these people. Why should he grieve for people he never even met or seen before? To him, it's like grieving for every single animal that dies. It's just not going to happen because some people just don't give a fuck.
Personally, I find that perfectly understandable. In the end, however, most people will forget everything about these people because these deaths didn't effect them at all. What really matters, in my opinion, is what countries as a whole will do about these deaths. |

| Just so staff knows, I authorized this and this poll is absolutely legitimate. Therefore, unless some crazy spamming or flamming goes on, this is to stay open until a verdict has been decided on the new rule.

| I can't be sure about this...but it seems to me that this is slowly turning into an issue of 'degree of description' rather than logic. As you must understand, some things cannot be supported by logic...but it can certainly be described to a point where it is somewhat reasonable.
Going back to the whole tapping into the power of the core thing. The fact that no living thing has ever done this before prevents a person from truly understanding what would happen had that been done. Therefore, some logic is immediately negated because 1) As of yet, it's still impossible, and 2) You have no idea what would happen had it been possible. Therefore, instead of logic being the key here, it would be the degree of description. Correct me if I'm wrong...but if someone were to say "I tapped into the power of the core", you would object because there wasn't a single explanation behind it supporting that action. Now, if I were to say "Using a combination of pure concentration as well as the abilities of my advanced psychic powers, I forced a channel linking me to the power of the Earth's mighty core." It's not logical because 1) It's not even possible, 2) Such psychic powers do not exist. However, I explained it to a certain degree as to make it reasonable. A sense of 'how' is answered. It doesn't necessarily have to be possible. The reason I explained that was because I get the feeling most people are misunderstanding what's being proposed. As I have just demonstrated, it's not logical, what I did, because of several reasons 1) no one knows if it can be done, 2) I possess powers that do not exist, etc. However, by explaining it to a certain degree, and I'm not saying two paragraphs just on a single attack, it can be made to become reasonable. I believe as long as the 'how' is answered to a certain degree, the description should (but may not always) suffice. (Last edited by Sparda on 07-24-05 02:08 PM) |

Originally posted by Leviathan That's kind of the same thing I was saying. The 'how' factor, in my opinion, seems to be playing the biggest role in terms of 'description' and/or 'explanation'. However, one cannot really exist without the other. You cannot explain something without having to describe nor can you describe something without ending up explaining it to a certain degree. Offering a basic explanation is very simple as long as it's your own technique and you know how it works. |

Originally posted by Leviathan Originally posted by Xeios Leviathan, I think you may need to calm down a bit. Xeios is simply stating his opinion. Sure, harsh as it may have been, it's still his opinion and he's entitled to it just as you are. But you arguing with him and telling us about Shin-Ra's history isn't going to make much of a difference. As you can tell by now, most XGFers don't care who you are or what you have or have not done for online message boards. Remember, the final verdict lies, not with you or with Xeios but to the majority in the poll. Xeios, that last paragraph wasn't necessary. Just state what you think and let it be. Everyone deserves their opinion. Granted, not all opinions may be correct, but it would be prejudice not to grant someone an opinion regardless. (Last edited by Sparda on 07-24-05 04:06 PM) |

| Ok, this is getting absolutely ridiculous. I've heard enough about Shin-ra, Sim-nazis, and all that crap.
Kindly hold your tongue and submit your vote in the poll. If you have something to add to the Discussion of the possible new rule and not a certain group of people then do so. If not, then simply keep your mouth closed. If you have something to say that's demoralizing or insulting, don't go saying it all over this board. There is enough controversy as it is. |

| I don't think I understand what you mean Clockworkz. I don't see how this rule would effect the way I simbattle in the least bit. I won't able to use them legally? What won't I be able to use legally? If you're referring to my techs, then you would be incorrect. The simple addition of one or two sentences here and there to each of my tech would easily suffice so that they all comply with the rule since all of my techniques (save maybe two or three) are well described.
And if you would kindly refer to my profile, you will see that I am in fact staying as neutral as I can, refusing to lean towards one side completely but willing to aid them if I deem it is fair. |

| Yeah, I've been hearing the word "emo" circulate the web a lot recently. The only problem is...I don' t know what it really is.
So I turn to the XGF community for the answer. What exactly is emo? What do you define as emo? How do you pronounce emo? Is it supposed to be short for something? |

| "One death is a tragedy. A hundred deaths is a statistic."
Suprisingly, I find myself agreeing with this quote as well as some of the things Leviathan has said. Personally, I do not find a reason to grieve for people on the news. I mean, say a little girl has been kidnapped and been killed by some psycho. I wouldn't say to myself "Oh my god, how sad!! This is just terrifying and heart wrenching!". Instead, I'm more likely to go "Oh. That's too bad." Cold as it may seem, it's simply not worth your time to grieve for every single tragedy that occurs in the world. There's too many. Now watching the news talking about the deaths in London...well, personally, I didn't really care. Ok. People died. Move on. Instead of thinking "Oh man, this is just horrible!! I can't believe they would do something like this!", I went "...Crap. Does this mean they're going to do the same in NY?". Grieving just wasn't my thing because 1) I didn't know these people...at all and 2) How does their death concern me at all? In response to Elara's statement.. With all due respect, I personally disagree with it. I don't think its a matter of how or why they died. It's what you plan to do about it as a response to those deaths. EDIT: Give this incident one week and everyone will forget about it. Remember the Tsunami in India? Notice how nobody no longer cares about it? I mean, what about all the AID victims in Africa? The poverty in certain parts of China? The constant killings in the Middle East? Truth is, after just a couple of days to a couple of weeks, no one's going to care anymore.
