Problem with Earthquake calcs

[Nepuko]

How is Richard not staff yet smh

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

I would be too dangerous with such power... But yeah, a minor note like that should be all that is needed.

 

[Antvasima]

@Elizhaa

Thank you.

@DontTalkDT

That should probably be fine, yes. I made a few minor spelling corrections though.

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

"Note that not all shaking can be equated with an earthquake, and it should be made certain that the area affected is realistic to the magnitude assumed" should also do.

Or if you'd prefer Dont's version a little better wording could be:

"Shaking a minor area should not be assumed to automatically translate to an earthquake. Either a large area being shaken or evidence that we are dealing with something earthquake-like and not just some minor shaking would be needed."

 

[Ciruno_Fortes]

Repeated frequency of the same 'shaking' is also important overall but then again that's more obviously an earthquake at that point

 

[Antvasima]

"Shaking a minor area should not be assumed to automatically translate to an earthquake. Either a large area being shaken or evidence that we are dealing with something earthquake-like and not just some minor shaking would be needed."

This version seems fine to me.

 

[Elizhaa]

^^^

I agree.

 

[Antvasima]

Thanks. Should we apply that then?

 

[Elizhaa]

^^

I think it would be fine to apply the text.

 

[Cropfist]

How many characters would this affect?

 

[Qawsedf234]

Mostly some lower tier rankings that only effect a one room area.

@DontTalkDT

Are you willing to insert the text into some appropriate part of the Earthquake Calculations page? Or should it be mentioned in the Earthquake Power Chart as well?

 

[DontTalkDT]

I inserted it on the earthquake calculations page.

I guess it's best to mention it in the chart as well, so I will put the text in the notes there.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for helping out. I appreciate it.

 

[Bobsican]

Also a certain purple character whom I shall not name due to not wanting to get involved at all here also may need a downgrade

Barney the Dinosaur

Anyways, what calculation methods will be usable for this sort of "fake" earthquakes?

 

[Schnee_One]

Actual Quakes

 

[Bobsican]

Actual Quakes?

 

[Schnee_One]

Yes

 

[Bobsican]

I guess stuff like in Barney's case remains simply unquantificable?

As I have an strong feeling that there could be a way to do a proper calc to it to get AP.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I think he did have '''Wall level''' stuff from what I loosely heard.

 

[Bobsican]

Not really, the thing he scaled to before the earthquake findings was falling to a pile of straws which likely doesn't even get beyond tier 10.

Again, is there a way to calculate the AP needed to shake something including the inflicted area instead of using the "standard" chart for "actual" earthquakes?

 

[Antvasima]

What is left to do here?

 

[Agnaa]

All that's left is for Barney the Dinosaur's AP to be replaced with the next best feat/calc.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Should I close this thread then?

 

[Agnaa]

Bob wants to know if there's a way to calc feats that this thread invalidated. I'm not sure if that's a topic belonging in this thread or not.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, it probably doesn't belong, but I suppose that we could wait with closing the thread anyway.

 

[Bobsican]

Yeah, this thread can be closed now.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I will close this thread then.
