    This makes perfect sense. Agreed.

    Devil May Cry: Abilities removal

    @Catzlaflame @Mr. Bambu @Firestorm808 @Maverick_Zero_X @FinePoint Could I trouble any of you to suffer through the above and help us come to a conclusion? Here is a summary of the current arguments:

    Extremely important announcements for our community

    I think this is a very good thing. Reports involving those matters almost always become total circuses in the RVR thread and it would be best to handle them with more discretion.

    Profile Deletion Requests Thread (New forum)

    This still needs to be carried out. I can take care of it myself if needed, but I would need to be given permissions on Fandom in order to do so.

    Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

    Chiming in, I don't think the other two user's behavior are warning worthy. Tdjwo was unambiguously the provoking party and went in much more on the insults. The worst Zeona said was "clown" in response to being called a clown. If Tdjwo had done nothing wrong and I'd been in the thread at the...

    Tier 0 Swirl of the Root Retake

    I think it'd be better not to respond. This has essentially devolved into a full on non-staff CRT. This does not help anyone. I am going to be deleting some of the above comments and ask that @Wankbreaker and @Nightshade do not participate any further. I'm not sure. I am deferring to how Ultima...

    Tier 0 Swirl of the Root Retake

    Fate Zero: According to hermeticism, there's a power that governs dimensional theory outside of this world. It's called the 'swirl of the root', and it's a coordinate that's considered to be the beginning of all things. It's the start and the end of all creation. It's the throne of God...

    Proposal for Site/Forum Image Standards Revision

    This type of rhetoric is not helpful. I am strongly in favor of this rule change, but I am not interested in moralizing it, and that sort of framing is a good way to see this proposal crash and burn and prevent us from reaching a common understanding. As to the thread at large I'll reiterate...

    Proposal for Site/Forum Image Standards Revision

    My counterargument would be that the "harm" done by this level of strictness is effectively non-existent. The vast vast majority of users do not have anything like this on their profiles, and the only inconvenience inflicted upon those that do is having them change the picture. It depends on...

    You would think so, but I've asked the same when it's come up elsewhere and have been told explicitly that it's allowed.

    Tier 0 Swirl of the Root Retake

    The discussion is ongoing. The last thread got out of hand so this one serves the purpose of acting as a reset now that the main points of contention have been established. The intention is to go point by point until the arguments have been laid out clearly, at that point Ultima is going to come...

    The Great Sisyphean Quest to Downgrade God of War ⌈Part 12⌋

    Okay, I have applied this. I have been busy with other matters, but at some point I'll pick up the task of future threads. There's still a mountain of things that need to be removed, so it's going to be a very long process. I'll lock this thread now.

    Tier 0 Swirl of the Root Retake

    I don't think it's prudent to have the same debate with two people at the same time, so if ShadowWhoWalks still intends to produce his own response, I'll limit my reply to that once its posted. If he does not, I'll respond to you instead.

    Tier 0 Swirl of the Root Retake

    Except Shiki's dialogue literally has her saying this to Fujimaru: What do I like? Of course it's you, the Master who summoned me. Even if our encounter is nothing but a fleeting dream. That's fine, but that does not mean that every slight change in dialogue comes from him, nor do I think...

    Tier 0 Swirl of the Root Retake

    I suspect that it won't be considered a potent anti-feat, although I would be interested in clarification from @Ultima_Reality as to what, if anything, would be considered an anti-feat for an entity that has apophatic statements. In the real-world analogues that use apophatic theology, it...

    Tier 0 Swirl of the Root Retake

    I can't agree really that it is pending substantiation. The purportedly omnipotent/omniscient Void Shiki asserted: Shiki was forever floating off in a sea called the Swirl of the Root. All alone, in the shape of Shiki, inside of 「 」." This is an excruciatingly direct assertion. She was...

    VSBW Lore: Staff Timeline Returns

    Btw what tool did you use to make this?

    Tier 0 Swirl of the Root Retake

    There's no conceivable reason why Shiki's meeting with Mikiya in some normal location would be referenced in a description of the Root instead of the meeting in the Root that happened in the same game with this character. To be clear, that's not at all what the word "strawman" means. In any...

    Proposal for Site/Forum Image Standards Revision

    Essentially, I think it comes down to justification. We can justify putting Do-S's picture on her profile because that's her character design. But on a forum, I think it's reasonable to expect that users are not putting BDSM in their profile pictures or banners, even if it is official art. We...

    Proposal for Site/Forum Image Standards Revision

    Personally, where NSFW official outfits/designs are concerned, I am mostly of the opinion that we should only be using them when required. If a character like Do-s is hard to display in any capacity without it delving into the territory of being NSFW, I accept the reasoning that her official...

    DC/Vertigo Cosmology Redo(Part 1 of 2)

    I wouldn't agree with this. Our new R>F standards stipulate a "baseline" level of existence, and in DeMatteis' cosmology that would just be the material plane itself. The notion that there are dreams underneath it wouldn't make destroying the material plane 1-A. I don't think this follows...

    Proposal for Site/Forum Image Standards Revision

    Right, we could, but unless we're delving into the point of defining skimpiness so specifically that we need calc mods do a pixel calc to determine what percentage of someone's boobs are covered (and if we do I'm making @Mr. Bambu do it), we are just going to have to leave it to the good ol'...

    Proposal for Site/Forum Image Standards Revision

    I think it's valid to be concern about falling into a subjective rabbit hole, but unfortunately it is unavoidable. There's a famous phrase from the U.S. Supreme Court along the lines of "I know it when I see it" with regard to obscenity, because trying to define it in very specific terms is...

    All-purpose request thread (New forum)

    I've taken care of it and closed it for now, due to the other ongoing thread about the Root.
  29. Deagonx

    We know now, without a doubt, Void Shiki is... a fraud!

    I see. I won't say that there's no basis for contesting Shiki scaling to the Root, but there's already a fairly dense staff discussion going on about the Root that needs to conclude, and this thread is kind of a mess in terms of formatting. I am going to close this for now.
  30. Deagonx

    All-purpose request thread (New forum)

    I think it's probably best to close it, yeah. It's very messy and doesn't actually propose a clear change to the profiles.
  31. Deagonx

    We know now, without a doubt, Void Shiki is... a fraud!

    This is not a General Discussion thread, please don't use it as one. With regard to the CRT: I am not even sure what exactly is being proposed, and the formatting is very difficult to follow.
  32. Deagonx

    Tier 0 Swirl of the Root Retake

    It's simple. This is a description of the Root, delivered through a Craft Essence that is obtained through Shiki. The description describes a brief and impossible encounter with a noble figure as a dream. I suppose we could theorize that this is just random nonsense, but it's just very logical...

    That's enough now, please. The back and forth doesn't make it easier for staff to reach a conclusion, it makes it harder.

    I understand, I'm just saying that later sentence about them being realms is problematic.

    DC/Crisis Cosmology Revision

    Wildstorm was an independent comic label that was later absorbed by DC. Elements of Wildstorm were introduced into DC at large, but I would be wary of accepting anything cosmology related from a Wildstorm story. I agree, but I also think the language used to describe them has other problems as...

    Some Multiversal to Interdimensional Range revision since we changed the definitions (Skulduggery Pleasant, Death Mage, 100 Cheat Skills)

    I think probably the latter.
  38. Deagonx

    Some Multiversal to Interdimensional Range revision since we changed the definitions (Skulduggery Pleasant, Death Mage, 100 Cheat Skills)

    I feel like we can probably conclude that it would indeed reflect the attack, and if the attack is such that it would/can travel through dimensions then it would probably retain that property. I see your point, but I think it's probably on the tamer side of potential NLFs. Yeah I agree.
  39. Deagonx

    Some Multiversal to Interdimensional Range revision since we changed the definitions (Skulduggery Pleasant, Death Mage, 100 Cheat Skills)

    I agree. Is it appropriate to characterize this as range rather than an attack reflection alone? I agree with your reasoning that the location is likely irrelevant.
