This feels like it shouldn't be the answer, since Type 2 BDE and QS are separate things (hence why the former, by default, gets Low 1-A, while the latter gets 1-A).
I agree with this change. We need an ability for being able to meaningfully interact with elemental intangibility, and the same ability you get for interacting with other kinds of intangibility is the best fit.
idk what you mean by "company's name", Tllm was trying to appeal through the "bigger companies" exception.
fwiw, I think something like this could be a way people read that, but probably isn't what was intended.
Tllm's most interesting point, when bringing this up to me on Discord, was that Happy Tree Friends, another show of theirs, aired on TV.
But so far I haven't been told any further details.
Two staff agreed with one part of the OP, and those staff haven't commented in ages, and a large amount of staff have commented since disagreeing with that part too.
High 3-A is a special case since it's still technically an amount of joules. 1m x 1m x infinite m would be High 3-A, but 1m x...
Well, to give a quick summary....
There's generally a few camps of regeneration mechanisms in fiction:
Regeneration to point of acquisition. Only works if a character was circumcised after becoming a vampire.
Regeneration to personal mental ideal. Could work, depending on whether the character...
This attitude, of thinking people let anti-feats slide for verses they like, is exactly the issue.
I'm not Deagon ofc, but I'd say I care more about anti-feats for verses I like, since I'm more invested in them getting indexed properly. I make writeups like this and this and this out of love.
Didn't expect that to be controversial, even he agreed with it xd
All evaluating staff for these high-tier things land within a certain range of not being completely insane. Out of the ~15 regular evaluating staff for high tiers we've had over the last ~7 years, I think he's in the 20%...
It doesn't get colder as a byproduct, the heat just, at one point, becomes unable to be emitted, and is just considered a part of the mass/energy of the black hole, contributing to its size.
The temperature would vary, but at some point, I worry about this being an isolated demand for rigor...
That doesn't tell you anything about the matter used to form it. An extremely hot piece of mass going into a black hole wouldn't make the temperature at its event horizon warmer. If anything, it'd make it colder (as it'd add more to its mass, and larger black holes are "colder").
The basis for...
I reckon I may as well post updates as I go through these. Only covering one page since that's all I have the time for right now.
Tiering System Changes
Low 2-C now has this in its definition, "That is to say, they can significantly affect, create and/or destroy higher-dimensional structures...
Refer to the message I sent immediately after the last time you asked this, just yesterday:
Especially since, as far as I can tell, only two people so far (Everything12, Deagonx) have actually read those massive, vitally-important pages. I don't think we'd typically accept significant rewording...
Opening since Bob seemed too busy to deal with this thread until now. However, this could be closed relatively quickly if his new arguments fail to convince.
I'd like to say "yes", but there is the risk that people fail to realise that R>F/BDE stuff does actually affect them. It might be safer to at least have them brought up briefly in Ultima's ensuing thread, to get a sanity-check on whether a deeper dive is necessary.
Simply whether a verse has been evaluated under the new system. These could be split into various levels of priority:
High: Low 1-C, Low 1-A, 1-A, High 1-A, 0 (Significant changes to definitions that would effect many verses within them)
Medium: 1-C, High 1-C, 1-B, High 1-B (Changes to R>F...
Which idea specifically? Since both Ultima and I have suggested ways of handling this revision.
I don't think it'd be too impractical to keep a checklist of the relevant verses, and apply it once all/most are done (or once progress slows to a crawl on going through those). Not quite...
We've both been on the site for ages; isn't the thing I'm suggesting how every previous tiering system revision was done?
That's why we rarely do minor tweaks to the tiers between 10 and 3; because doing so requires someone to go through every single character in the relevant tiers, to check...
Having SCP maintain its 30 tier 0s under a system that says there's a maximum of one per verse is far wonkier, imo.
Plus your idea of letting the supporters of verses decide whether they want to make revisions in line with this sounds like it'd leave tons of pages from forgotten verses with...
I think being able to properly revise these feats is more important than the time loss of copy/pasting 100 sections to new pages (which really wouldn't take that long, maybe a few hours at most).
I'd still like to have time to go through all the huge instruction pages he's written up.
Plus, it's probably best to not actually apply this until we've sorted out new placements for the verses involved, so our pages don't spend weeks being wildly inaccurate.
That's not what that scan says, but even if it was, that would not be evidence for QS.
That link doesn't work, but from how you describe it, it's not evidence for QS.
That implies a countably infinite or smaller increase in size, which is not evidence for QS, and implies that it doesn't occupy...
That just looks like an outdated version of this blog, which has been discussed since the start.
Useless, uninformed posts like this make me consider converting this thread to staff-only.
No.
If six explanations aren't enough for y'all I can't do anything more. At least the other staff members who have read those posts seem to understand and agree.
I expected there to be something like that, and it supports my point, so, cool?
I can, actually. It's from this scan; the one I...
No; "Although impervious even to volcanic fire, the Frosts are weak to higher realms of incendiary" just seems to be a poetic way of saying "They're invulnerable to volcanic fire, but weak to even stronger fire." Treating "higher realm" as referring to a literal realm doesn't make sense...
And despite you claiming the entire series contradicts that notion, you haven't provided one piece of evidence of that.
Yeah, obviously.
It's very relevant. For reasons I've explained, what, six times?
This scan says "...there was a line of light, and the world ended up separated into two"...
