    Tolkien Tier High 1-A+ and 0 Proposal

    I've edited a sandbox done by a friend of mine for Eru a while ago, here. You can use that.
  2. Ultima_Reality

    Destiny: The Witness Is High 1-B (needs staff input)

    Fine by me. Was High 1-B not already accepted for other characters, by the way? If so, I'm not sure how necessary the tiering part of this thread is.
  3. Ultima_Reality

    Tolkien Tier High 1-A+ and 0 Proposal

    Yeah.
  4. Ultima_Reality

    Tolkien Tier High 1-A+ and 0 Proposal

    Yeah, the other quotes are good, but this one in particular expresses the point of all this pretty explicitly. For reference, this is what Tolkien says in the paragraph immediately before it: So, yeah, the Legendarium really is inseparable from his personal metaphysics and not supposed to...
  5. Ultima_Reality

    No, not really. "Layered" is a condition that can be met just fine without involving...

    No, not really. "Layered" is a condition that can be met just fine without involving higher-dimensional space, obviously. Don't know about the other thing, will look later.
  6. Ultima_Reality

    This seems to be talking about parallel time dimensions, at a glance, not higher time dimensions.

    This seems to be talking about parallel time dimensions, at a glance, not higher time dimensions.

    No.

    No.

    Would be an upgrade, yeah.

    Would be an upgrade, yeah.
  9. Ultima_Reality

    Tolkien Tier High 1-A+ and 0 Proposal

    Yeah, I believe so. You can put me as agreeing with Tier 0 Eru now, for the matter. As I see it, this thread now is really just a discussion on whether Tolkien's broader metaphysics are applicable as evidence for High 1-A+ Ainur and as supporting evidence for Eru's Tier 0. The latter is already...
  10. Ultima_Reality

    Tolkien Tier High 1-A+ and 0 Proposal

    Okay, this is interesting as hell, actually. Here's Tolkien's full quote: And, for reference, the "mystery of names" that Tolkien mentions refers back to this passage from Fellowship of the Ring: So, putting all this together: Tolkien says that the third-person predicate "He is" is something...
  11. Ultima_Reality

    Tolkien Tier High 1-A+ and 0 Proposal

    What exactly is he talking about here? What's the context?
  12. Ultima_Reality

    Tolkien Tier High 1-A+ and 0 Proposal

    No, it is probably of interest. If Tom Bombabil is considered an "outsider" to the Legendarium and yet he is part of the overall verse, then this seems to give some insight on how exactly the verse's scope works. Can you elaborate a bit further on that?
  13. Ultima_Reality

    I have a question about Omniscience and Tier 0

    Asking me? No.
  14. Ultima_Reality

    Tolkien Tier High 1-A+ and 0 Proposal

    Hmh. Yeah, I'll say I'm rather on the fence about this revision, as it stands. Obviously, the issue isn't whether the statements suffice for the proposed tiers; they do, and "This is drawing from IRL religion" isn't an objection worth entertaining. Fact of the matter here is that Tolkien had...
  15. Ultima_Reality

    An upgrade for The Presence

    Yeah, I'm interested in the inference that "Obstacles" refers to pairs of opposites in this scene. From what I gather, nothing seems to suggest that.
  16. Ultima_Reality

    I have a question about Omniscience and Tier 0

    I mean, technically all Tier 0s are equally all-encompassing, so they circumscribe "all the same information," so to say. It really comes down to whether it functions analogously to an intellect. If it does, and yet doesn't know something (That doesn't fall under the stipulations written in the...

    I have a question about Omniscience and Tier 0

    No.

    Ajimu 8-C is somewhat iffy

    Yeah, put me on disagree with regards to Low 1-A. Seems all there is is this blink-and-you'll-miss-it piece of text in the background mentioning a "Transcends Dimensions skill," which by extension obviously lacks all the elaboration needed to actually fit the bill even with the new standards...

    Toei Tokusatsu Cosmology Update (Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Metal Heroes, etc.)

    Yeah, I've gathered as much. The issue is that, to my understanding, the Brain Layer is comparable in size to the human world, and yet it's also the part of Ideon that the "It's more real than the human world" statement is referring to. This makes me think that it being "more real" isn't really...
  20. Ultima_Reality

    Journey To The West tier upgrade

    I'm curious on how the distinction between enlightenment and the Dharmakaya is supposed to work. You said that distinctions and form are already transcended and revealed illusory at the former level, and yet it apparently has degrees (Bodhisattvas being more enlightened than Monks, for example)...
  21. Ultima_Reality

    An upgrade for The Presence

    Are the Light and the Darkness all that the God from Swamp Thing #75 is confirmed to transcend? Looking through the OP, that looks to be the case, but I'll ask for confirmation first.

    2A (Possibly L1C) Devil May Cry - A relevant closer to a CRT

    Yeah, the logic remains the same. Either the Demon World is one huge 4-D space and so doesn't get past Low 2-C, or it's 5-D, and the logic used for 2-A to work makes it Low 1-C instead (Alongside a lot of other stuff, I suspect). Really a quirk in how Tier 2 is structured. Granted I haven't...

    2A (Possibly L1C) Devil May Cry - A relevant closer to a CRT

    Not too sold on this working, honestly. To elaborate: 2-C-through-2-A at the moment, from what I understand, work pretty much as pseudo-5-D tiers. This is to say that being 2-C and up isn't just about affecting the alternate universes themselves, but also about affecting a tiny little 5-D space...

    1-A / High 1-A / Tier 0 Revisions Hub

    By the by, for consistency's sake, and to avoid organizational headaches, I've done away with the queues for Tier 0 and High 1-A threads as well. No more queue period now, I suppose.

    Yin Tian Shen Yin 1-A and High 1-A Re-evaluation (Straightforward)

    @Planck69 @DarkDragonMedeus @Sir_Ovens @ActuallySpaceMan42 @Elizhaa Input, etc etc.

    1-A / High 1-A / Tier 0 Revisions Hub

    Christ, I've been away too long. Should get to organizing this at last.

    Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Verse Creation: The Cosmology Part 1

    Yeah, alright. Closing, then.
  29. Ultima_Reality

    Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Verse Creation: The Cosmology Part 1

    From what I gather, profiles are yet to be done, yes? If the other stuff for the verse is going to happen in other threads, then this one might as well close, yeah.

    Yumiella Sad Low 1-C downgrade + Cosmology Upgrade 1-A

    @Planck69 @DarkDragonMedeus @Sir_Ovens @ActuallySpaceMan42 @Elizhaa Can you provide some input here? Been a bit.

    Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Verse Creation: The Cosmology Part 1

    The thread is concluded, yeah.
  32. Ultima_Reality

    Sage Monarch Possible 1-A

    To be discussed elsewhere. Anyway: @Planck69 @DarkDragonMedeus @Sir_Ovens @ActuallySpaceMan42 @Elizhaa Can you provide input here? Thread's been languishing for a bit.

    Yin Tian Shen Yin 1-A and High 1-A Re-evaluation (Straightforward)

    Yeah, all this seems pretty much fine to me.
  34. Ultima_Reality

    Destiny: Winnower and Gardener 1-A and Abilities

    Yeah, I'm fairly skeptical of that reasoning. Nonduality in general is inherently a contradictory power (By design), so I don't think there is much that can actually get it off of logic alone and without explicit statements of including logical dichotomies (Since the power breaks logic to begin...

    Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Verse Creation: The Cosmology Part 1

    Oh, I thought that for scaling purposes the two were just interchangeable, since you mentioned the Fourth Wall has "the same nature as the other walls." My bad. Regardless: Yeah, I don't see anything above 1-A here, regardless. The whole division between reality and fiction mediated by the...

    Context is always important - Changing a bad formulation of the Tiering System

    Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant by "Unless that superiority is the kind that could be ascribed to Type 1 BDE." Looks fine to add that up to the page, then. Given you already suggested that little addition clarifying that Low 1-A is valid if the non-dimensional nature is the cause of the...

    Context is always important - Changing a bad formulation of the Tiering System

    That doesn't really translate into this context, because "Beyond all dimensions" (Granting that it means "superiority" in the relevant sense, mind you) is descriptive of a realm that exceeds dimensional spaces without, itself, being a dimensional space, which is indeed what tiers Low 1-A and up...
  38. Ultima_Reality

    Context is always important - Changing a bad formulation of the Tiering System

    With those examples, I was pretty much thinking of a hypothetical case where, say, a realm is described as "Beyond dimensions" but then received further descriptions that make it clear that it is, itself, just another dimensional space and not something of a whole other nature. In that case...
  39. Ultima_Reality

    Context is always important - Changing a bad formulation of the Tiering System

    The Tiering System doesn't really make this distinction anymore. The revisions basically abolished the whole notion of something being able to be beyond-dimensional "only over" the dimensions actually existent in its cosmology but not beyond-dimensional in the proper sense (i.e. Beyond...
  40. Ultima_Reality

    Context is always important - Changing a bad formulation of the Tiering System

    I don't think the current description has many failures outside of being vague on what constitutes "superiority," which should be clarified indeed. Let me have a try at it:
