  • It's very rare for me to look at threads that are posted on my wall. You are free to ask, but unless it is a verse I am already interested in, it is not likely that I will respond to it.
    From the thread, what other nerfs will you do for the verse?

    I don't really think it'd be that long but that aside, I meant more as a whole, like, are you just doing resistances or things like speed or tier?

    I am not sure yet. I haven't thoroughly looked into the tiers and speed feats. For now I am focusing on abilities.

    Ah, alright thank you.
    Are you good about abstract existence type 2?
    The question is relevant to the thread at hand. You do not have to close the thread. They can easily respond to it. Its generally hard to get a grasp on them in DMs or in a FAQ thread. I already pinged them in multiple FAQ threads but to no avail. I hope u understand that it is not that difficult for you to keep the thread open a bit longer to get my responses.

    I am already pressed for time and can barely manage to get some time to respond here.

    Idk why u have such a problem with me asking questions
    They are both constantly inundated with questions, the point was to simplify the discussion in such a way that they could clear up any remaining ambiguity that you were holding on to in one fell swoop. If you wanted certain questions added, you should have specified that beforehand.

    U simply close threads without having any sort of conclusion by any of the staff. U just need votes as an excuse to rush and close threads.
    Does "rushing" just mean any closure before you personally are satisfied? It was over two weeks and 9 pages, with 8 staff members voting, none of whom agreed with adding a spatial axis. These are clearly just sour grapes because the upgrade failed and you're looking for an excuse, you want to blame it on me instead of a bad argument.

    Ik what it means. You know I was right about that so u stopped arguing about it.
    "Knowing" someone was right does not mean you've conceded, the definition of the word concede means you actually admit that. Further, you are not a psychic. Don't make false claims of me "conceding" because you've imagined in your mind that I "knew you were right about it" and that was the reason that I stopped arguing. I stopped arguing because it was clear you would not listen to what I was saying, and I thought the disagreement could be resolved by showing you that the FAQ's authors agreed with me, which they did. You were wrong about the FAQ, I did not "concede" nor was I persuaded by your arguments.

    That doesn't mean that I am not free to ask them, just because they are inundated with questions.
    Did u specify beforehand that u will ping them to the thread and ask me if I have any more questions or anything to add extra to something new that they might come up with?

    Its weird and ironic that u keep bringing up votes but u urself refused a thread closure when u were losing a thread by 2x vote lead. Also no, not about personal satisfaction, its a discussion, so a conclusion with some consensus rather than just votes is what I would expect. The length and number of pages is irrelevant a discussion can finish in a few posts or take months or multiple pages. We don't have any specific rules regarding some threshold.
    "Knowing" someone was right does not mean you've conceded, the definition of the word concede means you actually admit that.
    Yeah, Ik that. It is against your character to admit it. All u did was changed stances. That's enough to conclude.

    They literally did not agree with the specific quote of the FAQ that u were arguing and brought up a different thing entirely.
    Also, you are not a psychic either, that u just concluded that I was going to say the FAQ is wrong, the authors are wrong, I will argue with them, I wont concede

    Of course, but you wanting to ask them questions doesn't mean that I am not free to close the thread, which was universally rejected.

    Big difference between being 0-8 and being 5-8, and big difference between closing a thread after two days and two weeks.

    It is against your character to admit it. All u did was changed stances. That's enough to conclude.
    I am currently informing you that I didn't change stances. I also didn't give you any indication that I had changed stances. I said:

    I feel largely that we are getting nowhere, and that there is little to nothing that I could say that would effectively demonstrate to you that you have read the FAQ wrong and are advocating for Low 1-C on a basis that we explicitly reject as a wiki. I'm not content to go in circles here, if I feel that you are simply beyond convincing I will spend my time in better ways.

    Somehow you interpreted this to mean "I think you're right so I'll stop arguing because my stance has changed."

    Also, you are not a psychic either, that u just concluded that I was going to say the FAQ is wrong, the authors are wrong, I will argue with them, I wont concede
    I asked if you would, I did not merely assume it. You responded:
    And since we are discussing this with regards to the FAQ on what they mean by their wordings specifically, well they are the ones who have written it so their interpretation is absolute.

    DT responded:
    Just containing multiple 4D structures just makes you multiverse-sized. And being called infinite in no way means being infinite in terms of a 5D axis. Anything containing an infinite universe is infinite. That we have the difference between countably infinite and uncountably infinite as the difference between dimensional levels (as, amongst others, explained in the multiverse example) is just the cherry on top.

    This is very clear.
    Hello, can you give input in this thread? points and counter points from both sides were given, since you participated in the last threads about it, it must interest you i think

    Hi Deagon, I thought you might be interested since you were in the previous thread. If you are interested, could you take a look? You can ignore if you want.
    Hello! I'd appreciate it if you gave input here:
    It's a minor Downgrade CRT (slightly DC Cosmology-related).
    Could I please have your input in this small CRT
    Could you check this thread when you have some time? Thanks!

    Could you answer this for me please?

    Can you take a look at this CRT? Abstract existence seems to be being heavily misapplied
    I would like an eval on this when you have the time
    I was wondering if you could maybe share this on the DB thread in a single post but if you don't believe it's that relevant then it's fine since Omega did briefly touch upon it. Just a little more context and a little more specific.

    a real physicist talking about the theory irl matters for the logic in verse because? outside the fact that Whis, Gowasu and the entire Black arc contradicts this

    So basically the Futamase stuff shouldn't be used since he's just an actual real life scientist brought on to explain our real world theories of physics in a fun way while only using similar dragon ball examples to be relevant. Also it was discussed in this thread that it shouldn't be used at all due to him not being an actual authority on dragon ball.
    Can you take a look at this?
    hello can you share your thoughts here?
    Hello could you evaluate this thread please?

    Yo, Deangox, if you wanna to continue our discussion we had in the GoW general thread, I'll like doing it with a conversation thread rather then the Gow general since it seems our conversations usually make the thread argumentative, a bit heated, and just demeaning to the other supporters.

    The novel describes Kratos as needing to grind them into dust to prevent them from reforming. I am aware this is secondary canon, but I am using this to make a comparison. The finishers/hammer serve a similar purpose, the guide describes this as "finishing them off" and that the hammer has "extra power" to "easily smash them into pieces."

    It gives a similar impression that this hammer and finishers simply achieve a level of damage beyond what normal attacks can inflict. Even in the hammer gif above, you can see the O button spinning above the skeleton, he's ready for a finisher and nearly dead, but even more hits from the hammer do not fully finish it yet.

    I agree it's slightly muddy, but that seems more likely to be a result of game mechanics than an unmentioned negation. The guide describes why the hammer works in place of a finisher and decides to address the fact that it can smash them into pieces. The book speaks to a similar framework even if it's represented differently. I don't think the theory of negation is solid enough to warrant indexing, the damage threshold has its own bumps but it seems much more natural given the information we do have. Significantly so.

    I still think there are problems to have with the conclusion.

    If the Hammer smashing them to pieces was why it can easily kill them, then why does the guidebook tell us that Kratos's blades can, as per the text, be "effective at breaking to pieces" and still need a finisher to or the hammer to legitimately end them. It feels contradictory for the damage to be described as the same and for both to have different effects.

    But I do see it being far more plausible now, that Kratos is simply reaching a damage threshold to end these pests rather then posses an entire full on ability to end them.

    I understand that issue, but despite the similar description the book is expressing that "easily smashing them to pieces with extra power" is why the hammer kills them. The fact that the swords "break them into pieces" must be considered distinct from this despite being similar.

    I don't disagree that this is a bit awkward, but the negation stance is IMO a fair bit more clunky in terms of what kind of assumptions and mechanisms are involved.

    However it seems like we more or less have reached a common understanding.
