all of SCP, possibly twins peaks some WoD characters things like that...So do you have an ideas on which characters would lose their current Tier 0 ratings? Who would some of these people be?

Nah it isn't lol
Pretty much what the mid game fan up there said. All of SCP. Probably Twin Peaks characters. God from Unsong. Most characters from World of Darkness....So do you have an ideas on which characters would lose their current Tier 0 ratings? Who would some of these people be?
From its description, The Clear Light seems that it would probably still qualify for Tier 0 unless there's something missing. Though I do think its obvious that half of their ratings will be gone.Pretty much what the mid game fan up there said. All of SCP. Probably Twin Peaks characters. God from Unsong. Most characters from World of Darkness.
God from Unsong doesn't qualify?Pretty much what the mid game fan up there said. All of SCP. Probably Twin Peaks characters. God from Unsong. Most characters from World of Darkness.
I don't believe he does, no.God from Unsong doesn't qualify?
Most characters from World of Darkness.
There's one, but they don't have a profile yet.
Yeah. WoD is a veritable mess on the wiki so don't pay too much attention to the profiles.Jehovah (World of Darkness)
Order of Hermes, Revised – Page 14 Jehovah, sometimes identified as YHVH, Allah, or simply God, is the Supreme Creator of the Abrahamic Religions, recognized as the one and only God in Christianity, Judaism and Islam, of whose Divine Presence all other divinities in alternate faiths and...vsbattles.fandom.com
(i think? WoD is a clusterfuck)
Why exactly?I don't believe he does, no.
The I AM THAT I AM probably qualifies for tier 0( the one that you are likely referring to )There's one, but they don't have a profile yet.
Yeah. WoD is a veritable mess on the wiki so don't pay too much attention to the profiles.
YeahAre all Tier 0s equally strong?
Well, a Tier 0 under the proposed system has to be totally undifferentiated and possess no "degrees" to its power and nature, which is one single irreducible totality. God, on paper, is described as such in the story, but in practice:Why exactly?
So, clearly God's attributes have degrees and differentiation to them, so much so they can be reduced and subtracted to make the universe. That kills any possibility of Tier 0 for him, I'd say.“Leibniz was studying the I Ching, and he noticed that its yin and yang sticks, when arranged in hexagrams, corresponded to a new form of arithmetic, because he was Leibniz and of course he noticed that. So he invented binary numbers and wrote a letter to the Duke of Brunswick saying that he had explained how God could create the universe out of nothing. It goes like this. You’ve got God, who is 1. You’ve got nothingness, which is 0. And that’s all you need to create everything. 1s and 0s arranged in a long enough string.”
“How, exactly?”
“The kabbalistic conception is that God withdrew from Himself to create the world. I, for example, am beautiful and intelligent, but not so physically strong. God is perfectly beautiful and intelligent and strong, so by withdrawing a little bit of His beauty and intelligence, and a lot of His strength, and some other things, we end up with an Ana.”
“Except you’re not an off-shade of brown,” said Erica.
“And also, God mostly just withdrew from the original universe in such a way that made it have laws of physics that generated you,” I added.
“Same difference,” said Ana.
I'm decently confident that Agnaa and I can reach an agreement pretty quickly at the rate things are going. Even if we don't, it'll ultimately come down to a vote, so it doesn't really matter, if the opposition's side ultimately finds itself outvoted.Also, what's the plan regarding Agnaa disagreeing with your stuff?
Does this kill the thread's chances of being accepted?
Yeah

Ant's used it a few times. For a concrete example, he used it for a range rating revision of mine.When has a bureaucrat veto ever been used, actually? I can't recall if it's ever happened before.
More like separation from cultivation and realms rather than merging.Gu Chensa assimilated with beyond deathless realm.
No, I do not think that we should rate every single aspatiotemporal character's AP/Dura as either Unknown or 1-A or above, when their feats of interacting with reality are consistently 9-A. And I don't think such 9-A feats would contradict them being aspatiotemporal either.
Not above, without, was the claim Ultima made.Imagine being above volume, area and vectors themselves
In fact, I also made it clear that I was just talking about aspatiotemporal charactersIf a thing doesn't have volume, you can't really equalize it to a volume.
every single aspatiotemporal character''s
citation neededonly to die to volume/Area/vector-based 8-C attacks because you somehow face 9-A attacks all day even though its actually supposed to be doing absolutely nothing to you due to the fact it literally can't.
Again, not transcending, just lacking.Imagine transcending the fundamental nature of dimensionality itself
I wasn't so much imagining a building toppling, but a character who can harm aspatiotemporal characters, with other feats and anti-feats limiting their power at 9-A.but the author of the tier-shit work of fiction only makes you make big nice 9-A holes in wall every chapter with your reality warping powers, but god so help him when a building topples the poor character beyond space and time.
It is.If transcendence in the form of BDE Type 2 (transcending dimensions thus lacking them) is not an AP feat
I was against "Unknown" in the hypothetical I posited, since it seems like a way of trying to avoid the more accurate rating of 9-A.to the point that even qualifying for "unknown" is a no no
No and yes, respectivelyAgain, not transcending, just lacking.
I'm 99.9% sure that the context in which Ultima made the claim won't render 'without' and 'above' mutually exclusive. context being BDE Type 2.Not above, without, was the claim Ultima made.
shut upcitation needed
It is.
I was against "Unknown" in the hypothetical I posited, since it seems like a way of trying to avoid the more accurate rating of 9-A.
To be more clear, I was talking about a character that only lacked dimensions, and did not also transcend them.No and yes, respectively
Both type 1 and 2 are lacking.... The entire page is currently based on lacking... So it comes down to context. BDE Type 2 lacks dimensions based on transcending em.
Probably, but I do find interrogating why we find volume equalizable for characters that only lack volume, and not transcend it is an interesting one, in that it shows a contradiction.I'm 99.9% sure that the context in which Ultima made the claim won't render 'without' and 'above' mutually exclusive. context being BDE Type 2.
It's one thing to not display tiershit AP constantly. It's another thing to have enough anti-feats to make any tiershit interpretation non-viable.you can't expect characters of such stupid tiershit nature to display tiershit AP unless its fighting other characters of similar or higher nature.
what if the story doesn't call for it?
When it involves transcending, I'd consider sufficient anti-feats against a higher-tier to indicate that they shouldn't get an ability involving transcending in the first place. That's why I'm focusing on the example of merely lacking.besides you, probably unknowingly considering you think Ultima wasn't referring to lacking dimensions via transcending them, admitted that transcending dimensions is an AP feat. Wouldn't whet feat take precedence over other insignificant feats?
Since it has come to my intention that this section is unclear, I should clarify. Despite the conversation having focused on Type 2 BDE, I'm taking a brief detour into Type 1 BDE, to demonstrate a contradiction with the way you're suggesting to treat Type 2 BDE. If you agree that we can equalize something "without volume" to something with a volume for Type 1, you should agree that we can do that for Type 2, at least when, in the case of Type 2, the volume-analogue we're equalizing to is above the volume that's transcended in the character's original setting. And if you don't allow that for Type 1, I'd view your suggested system as quite absurd.
Coolcoolcool. It was good! It led me to add this section to my previous post in the main thread:
Well yeah, but my idea for how they'd reach that would be through UES shenanigans, scaling, and magic.btw i predict he'll stick to not equalizing volume with no volume for type 1 because its literally the wrong thing to do. Essentially making every type 1 character unknown.
which they probably already are,idk any type 1 character that can interact with reality without a host or possessing something or having avatars...
No.Are we getting Tier 1 Mario?
Well yeah, but my idea for how they'd reach that would be through UES shenanigans, scaling, and magic.
Or, if they can toggle their physiology between the two, but some could argue that both would just have different tiers, even though that feels a little wack.
Damn, that actually scared me. Lol
if i lack something i transcend itAre we still going to be doing that thing where we pretend transcending something and lacking something are two different things?
I do not agree. he was stated to be unending, boundless, infinite, which shows, even if he takes from himself, it will never be exhausted. The 1 is unending, the 0 is also unending. That is god, the embodiment of the fullness of 1 and the nothingness of 0.Yeah
