    "Ares! Downgrade This Verse, and My Life is Yours!" ⌈GoW Downgrades, Part 1/???⌋

    It is. The alternative would just be "appeal to popularity." However, having staff only is meant to avoid everything being decided by each verse's fans, because the majority of participants on a thread are -- by nature -- fans of the series and are inclined to agree with upgrades and protest...

    "Ares! Downgrade This Verse, and My Life is Yours!" ⌈GoW Downgrades, Part 1/???⌋

    The ability occurs over a period of time. If you don't throw him off fast enough your mana starts going down over time, and then it stops whenever you finally throw him off. If you manage to throw him off really really fast you can avoid any mana loss but Kratos very concretely is not resistant...

    The Death of SCP

    I think given that RvB dwarfs everything else in the category in terms of being well known, we should probably just bite the bullet and use something like this, where it will be abundantly clear that it is not simply referring to Halo:

    The Death of SCP

    Google search trends, same as Bambu. I guess I don't see the need to pick an ongoing series. Our "books" image is not ongoing, for instance. Also a good option.

    The Death of SCP

    I added "Homestuck" to that comparison chart and it still seems to come out ahead of Madness Combat and BFDI, but below Red vs Blue. Given the "looks like Halo" issue I still think Homestuck makes the most sense.

    The Death of SCP

    I kind of thing Homestuck is still the better option here. I'm not exactly an internet verse connoisseur but that's one of the few that cut through the noise in terms of me being aware of it, even if its over now.

    I would not generally visualize the destruction of a dimension as "traversing" the dimension by default. I think part of the issue is that these concepts are entirely fictional, we do not have a real-world referent for how the "process" of destroying a dimension would work so any explanation we...

    ben10(omnitrix) Immeasurable speed downgrade

    I am iffy. If we claim that the creation of additional temporal dimensions necessitates instantaneous travel across the initial temporal dimension in a "big bang" context it would seem that we would conclude Big Bangs also have infinite speed for the comparable "traversal" across the spatial...

    Okay. If Ultima doesn't arrive, when I am off work later I will send that description and ask for his thoughts.

    Can you rephrase? The verbs after "energy wave" are confusing me given how the sentence starts. What is trying to follow the wave? Wouldn't the boundary of the wave just literally be the actual boundary of creation?

    I quoted this description from Reiner04: If you want I can communicate a different description, but he did express his intention to come here and evaluate it himself. I was bringing up the timeless void because I thought that the idea was that the energy wave's expansion throughout the...

    Grace is just a limitation on applying changes of a thread. I'm not sure why it's being thought of as a thread closure deadline.

    He said he intends to check it out. But staff votes can only be counted if they make the post themselves.

    I directly copied and pasted what I was told here. I don't have any interest in this series such that I'd be trying to manipulate the outcome.
  18. Deagonx

    ben10(omnitrix) Immeasurable speed downgrade

    I do agree with removing immeasurable based on what Ultima said.

    ben10(omnitrix) Immeasurable speed downgrade

    Most of what has been written to me on this matter has been very hard to understand from a grammar and language perspective. I'm not trying to strawman you, but the explanations have not been great. I took the explanation Reiner gave me and asked someone who has more experience with these things.

    "Ares! Downgrade This Verse, and My Life is Yours!" ⌈GoW Downgrades, Part 1/???⌋

    There's a lot of bizarre cases that I don't really understand why they're getting FRA'd. Like. Kratos being given a resistance based on how the novel says an ability affected him in the novel, because that doesn't happen in the game? It's not as though the book simply says "this attack has [X]...

    Well yes, and then reiner responded to me and I decided to ask Ultima.

    Is this not what's being discussed?
  24. Deagonx

    ben10(omnitrix) Immeasurable speed downgrade

    Discussing it with Ultima, he explained timeless void movement isn't usable for speed at all, that it isn't infinite or immeasurable.
  25. Deagonx

    ben10(omnitrix) Immeasurable speed downgrade

    Well, I guess I'm just not intimated with the state of the discussion. I would agree broadly speaking that -- literally -- in the absence of time the "speed" of something cannot be measured and as such it is immeasurable. However as I watched the video, the energy wave moves in a manner that is...

    Empowerment is the ability to strengthen oneself due to various circumstances and outside forces that may or may not be under their control. Unlike Statistics Amplification, empowerment is often involuntary and inherent to each character rather than an activated ability. Absorbing someone...

    "Ares! Downgrade This Verse, and My Life is Yours!" ⌈GoW Downgrades, Part 1/???⌋

    The point Fuji is making is that Kratos is being given resistances based on the effects that are sourced from novels saying they affected Kratos himself (or would). So we're creating a bizarre picture here where Kratos is being given resistances because of these lore contradictions between the...

    I'll get to the rest later but, this is not what that scan says. The scan does not use the word mind at all. "The Queen lunges as Kratos grabbing him and dragging him under into another world, away from the chaos of the Titan and the world of man. But Kratos cannot succumb to such weak...

    I guess my hang-up @Firestorm808 is that, regardless of how we'd characterize their movement in this timeless space, wouldn't we generally assume their movement is normal when they are in a spacetime continuum?

    "Ares! Downgrade This Verse, and My Life is Yours!" ⌈GoW Downgrades, Part 1/???⌋

    Yes, of course. The same way we can also use the "Good Ending" of a VN. We are in complete agreement there. Considering that we already do this, I don't know why I would be concerned about it. It hasn't been an issue. Alternative endings/outcomes just answer hypothetical questions. The failed...

    "Ares! Downgrade This Verse, and My Life is Yours!" ⌈GoW Downgrades, Part 1/???⌋

    I just responded to this exact sentiment in your last comment. It was a hypothetical. I am saying even if 1-ups weren't a thing or if the "story didn't work" if Mario ever died, we would still be in the clear to use the information that Mario dies to fireballs. Good thing God of War 2 is canon...

    "Ares! Downgrade This Verse, and My Life is Yours!" ⌈GoW Downgrades, Part 1/???⌋

    You're missing the point of the hypothetical. If Mario canonically never experienced a death in Super Mario Bros, we wouldn't conclude that we do not have any pertinent information about how fireballs would interact with Mario if they did hit him. The bottom line is that authors/creators are...

    "Ares! Downgrade This Verse, and My Life is Yours!" ⌈GoW Downgrades, Part 1/???⌋

    It needn't occur canonically. If it's one of the possible outcomes then that's still usable information for verse mechanics. We do this for VNs and RPG games all the time. GoW isn't special in that regard
  40. Deagonx

    "Ares! Downgrade This Verse, and My Life is Yours!" ⌈GoW Downgrades, Part 1/???⌋

    That's not the point of the hypothetical. Even if 1-Ups didn't exist we would still know that fireballs can kill Mario. The fact that canonically he successfully avoided ever being hit by one doesn't mean we can't regard his vulnerability to fireballs as canon info. It is canon information for...
