A Blow for Justice OOC

[Aurius]

The picture of his gear is as follows:

Based on the image crafted for the Mandalorian Modular Medium Armor. As it is modular, a brace would be placed around the neck.

Furthermore, I have trouble believin your character could accurately hit a targets neck from behind a wall of smoke, where your only reference was a lightsaber blade that had moved moments before to block blaster bolts. Especially considering my character had moved, your character would need to have a clear image of his body, and then guide it to precisely inbetween two dutasteel plates. Furthermore, the discblade is on a vibroblade level, which any part of the Modular MII Armor can withstand.

I'm just a curious observer, but looking at Cecil's CS. It just says "Mandalorian Armor" and has a different picture displayed than what you just posted in here. I'm not seeing anything about a neck, neck armor, or anything like it. Or nothing about it's hitpoints, or any modifications.

Unless you had a link?

 

[Hol Horse]

The image and argument you're using is completely different to the description of the actual of the armor itself. Nowhere in the MMMM is there anything denoting that the neck is properly armored like the rest of of suit, nor that there is a brace around it. The only thing that's being noted when it comes to the inbetween of the helmet and torso armor is the byfold. This is trying to compare apples to oranges.

As for the accuracy of the discblade. Sal already fired at Cecil before with a clear line of view, he would have noted his height relative to the distance between the two. Seeing as how you didn't post, and Cecil is presumably standing in place right now due to that, a swell as the fact that his saber isn't moving, it should be easy for Sal to hit Cecil in the neck even through the smoke. This is of course besides the fact that it such an attack would still hit as declared due to it beng an autohit.

Theres also the fact that the image you're using is 100% different than the armor listed in your bio which is labeled only as 'Mandolorian Armor' with no specificity at all, something that could be interpreted as abusing ambiguities in pvp.

 

[Aurius]

Firstly, here is the LINK. And by that logic I wouldn't mind a link to the technology profile for the discblade, or any writeup on it approved within the site. And as the link suggests, the armor can withstand 1 vibrosword strike. Assuming it has a technology file that makes it more powerful/lightsaber level, that strike would do damage to the character.

 

[Hol Horse]

You're trying to argue head/neck as being one in the same to apply the specifically noted defenses of the helmet to the neck despite there being nothing in any description about there being any.

The discblade, while not approved on the board, is still acceptable as a general item which has a description and quality identical to a vibroblade. The difference here is that unlike the ambiguous armor you're using, there already is a writeup for this that falls under the parameters of generic tech.

Regardless, I've reported your post so that the mods can make the final decision.

Hey @Aurius Pheonix RP rules say you can't edit your character sheet while engaged in a PVP

Subsection O—No edits can be made to a character profile AFTER combat has begun in the thread the character is in. An example is adding in weapons and armor after combat is already taking place/first post of combat. This is a very serious breach of rules and will result in a warning first time with serious repercussions like pvp bans or temporary site bans for any repeated offenses

 

[Aurius]

I apologize if this is misconstrued as foul play. I simply meant to clarify and answer your question. Nothing has been added to my inventory, I just included a link. I was unaware that was a breach of rules

 

[Hol Horse]

I agree with @Aurius Pheonix, that shouldn't be penalized against, he was just trying to earnestly fix a problem by linking the armor to his profile.

I know we both may have gotten a bit heated during our debate, but with this verdict coming in, lets just agree to disagree for now until the final decision and enjoy some fun pvp from then onwards. Truce? :)

 

[Aurius]

I mean no Ill will. I'm sorry if I came across rude. Let's just wait to see what the Mods say.

 

[Hol Horse]

Of course, same here, I hope I never came off as rude either.

 

[The Good Doctor]

Sorry if I came off condescending too

 

[Narsi]

Sorry if I came off condescending too

While we do appreciate the help and I know you had good intentions, please remember for the future that OOC threads should be limited to involved parties/leadership/staff. No harm done, but its something we try to adhere to as OOC threads can get pretty heated/crowded.

So has someone filed a report regarding the actual damage dealt then? @Hol Horse @Aurius Pheonix

 

[Hol Horse]

Yep, I filed it about half an hour ago or so.

 

[Phoenix]

I'm a bit confused here, can someone enlighten me: has the lethal post for the time-out been struck yet? I see that Aurius missed the window which would mean it's Narsi's turn and he has another 48 hours to post before anyone on the enemy team can autohit. Auto-hit posts have to be made in character, not OOC.

Also, why was another post made after the report was lodged? Reports bring the thread to a halt, that post should be removed.

@Hol Horse @Narsi @Melania @Aurius Pheonix @Zaphod Norblebrox @Chance Mills

 

[Hol Horse]

Truth be told I thought the report would still work the same if it was for an ooc disagreement. Though, I suppose it would make more sense now to wait until I post the autohit and then report it. My bad, first time around, first time done wrong.

No worries. But yes, time-outs can only occur once the in character post is written so until that's written, there is still a chance for the person that missed their window to post. The person doing the time-out gets to dictate the damage according to what was written in their previous post, whether the attacker chooses to kill, knock out, etc, is up to them (as long as the attack is within the realm of what was written in the previous round). The damage is up to the attacker in the case of time-outs.

 

[Hol Horse]

So, in that case, since we already know we have differing opinions on the extent of the time-out damage, I'll post next after Narsi and then report that post in turn for moderator judgement?

@Phoenix

If necessary, though if the question is just "who dictates damage in a time-out post" the answer is that the attacker dictates damage.

That's sort of what we've been discussing so far and ultimately disagreed upon. I argued that the discblade should cut through his unplated neck while he said it wouldn't be able to cut through. Are you saying that the time-out poster dictates the damage completely? Sorry if Im a bit lost.

 

[Phoenix]

Yes
