Guys, what does everyone think of my profile on scissors? It's one of my first item profiles on-site.

Yeah, but I’m talking about the 5 senses we usually think of when saying “regular senses.” I meant to prove the same thing: this ability qualifies for extra senses (Enhanced Senses), even though it’s not smell, sight, touch, taste, or hearing. Also, the profile looks gudESP is stated to require one of the primary physical senses to qualify.

- Note - This is not to be confused with Extrasensory Perception, as this ability must involve the use of one of the standard five senses, or any other sensory organs, in order to qualify.
The Great White and platpus' extra senses have limits, and users of ESP should be able sense energies even when normal physical senses would fail (like cameras for example. Your visibility is enhanced by you can't detect matter signatures behind walls unlike ESP).
TL; DR. the Great White and platypus should have extra senses.
Makes me wish we still had the paper profileGuys, what does everyone think of my profile on scissors? It's one of my first item profiles on-site.

No problem
Yep.
Guys
^ could you help me add the stuff I suggested in the previous message somehow? (not sure how they'd be tiered or described in VSBW format but worth a shot) (also not sure how to mention/notify people without replies welp)Makes me wish
Yep.
I guess
Well
We're
Bumping up because this thread is underrated
bumpbump. Anyone else wants to discuss stuff? Otherwise, I'll do it myself in the next one or more replies.
Very excited
I mean
LET'S GO
I mean, that's one way of contacting us lol.On another note, anyone wanna share what timezones you all are in? (using replies (though cutting out most of the words) to notify peeps)Time Zones
Was curious as to how different the time zones are for everyone in this community, I know Ant's Swedish (he mentioned it in his Fandom profile page), I'm Singaporean/Indian (I live mostly in Singapore but every end of year I go back to India to visit extended family), but not sure about everyone...vsbattles.com
LET'S GO
BUMP
yeet
This is a bit hilarious lel
I mean it can refer to both profile making and just discussion as well, but thanks for the advice.I mean, that's one way of contacting us lol.
To my knowledge, the research, profile making and logic-checking are the 3 steps to making a profile. You should try to find 1-2 people and divide labor equally to save time.
I mean, sure, but any non-human creature, let alone Florida carpenter ants, practicing advanced medicine is wild.Most eusocial insects are a lot smarter than we give then credit for, especially ants.
So only AP related feats?
- Only do changes where the animals may be in range of 10-B to close to baseline 9-B. The other animals’ tiers are self-explanatory unless you want to be more precise on their AP value.
It was copy pasted from my sandbox on my plans to revise IRL animals. The point of the post is to see and prioritized the most cultural significant ones. Lots of text have been edited out for the purposes of this post.So only AP related feats?
Decided to add this part into the post and edited the rule just to let everyone know what animals can be on the list.Rules for being included in this list
damn, hope Aurora recovers soon.Decided to add this part into the post and edited the rule just to let everyone know what animals can be on the list.

On an unrelated note, Deleted Username (a major supporter in IRL animals) is injured and should be inactive for several weeks.
Not necessarily advanced medicine by human standards perhaps, but capability to heal severe injuries indeed which is still impressive, and also I think quite a few species of ants are also capable of similar healing feats (essentially sealing wounds, even severed limbs, to allow injured fellow ants to continue to work and fight).I mean, sure, but any non-human creature, let alone Florida carpenter ants, practicing advanced medicine is wild.
I know H3's profile message wall area has a whole discussion between Aurora, ScalingRandom and me on Orcas vs Sperm Whales and I posted my belief that bull sperm whales are stronger than orcas, but I still think orcas deserve a spot in this list (if they're not already added and well documented in terms of powers/stats) (particularly cause despite being much smaller than bull sperm whales, orcas can still kill both most predatory marine organisms and most prey marine organisms (I hesitate to say all since there's organisms with defenses tough enough to repel orcas, particularly poisonous and venomous ones), especially when orcas team up in pods, and they're considered a cosmopolitan species as well)Btw. If anyone wants to provide more feats and info for these animals (on-site or not) vvv
Rules for being included in this list
- The most famous, iconic, symbolic, and popular species only. Specifically only the 20 most charismatic species, 7 most symbolic animals, 10 most popular animals, 11 most famous sea animals, and most famous prehistoric animals
- If a particular animal group isn’t a particular species, the most common real life species of the animal may be used.
- Note that I’ll be including the ones that are most likely able to influence fiction or battleboarding

Also, just notifying that my time zone thread ^ is closed cause this one exists:On another note, anyone wanna share what timezones you all are in? (using replies (though cutting out most of the words) to notify peeps)Time Zones

We should probably somehow add transmissible spongiform encephalopathies/TSEs (prions) and other diseases like African trypanosomiasis (parasite), visceral leishmaniasis (parasite), etc that have 99-100% case fatality rate along with vectors and causes, Clostridium botulinum (bacteria, botulinum toxin/botulism disease), Yersinia pestis (bacteria, plague), and galaxy cluster mergers (natural events) to the Real World page
This looks good by the way, though I would think the metal would go up to Wall level in durability depending on what type of metal is used, and though the blades are separable they cannot be joined back together in most typical cases (unlike, for example, a polearm that can change the heads to incorporate different types of weaponry for different uses such as a poleaxe/pollaxe)Guys, what does everyone think of my profile on scissors? It's one of my first item profiles on-site.
Do we have scans for the blades not being seperable in some cases? And knives+katana blades are 9-C in durability too, so do we have evidence that the metal can be 9-B and not guesswork?This looks good by the way, though I would think the metal would go up to Wall level in durability depending on what type of metal is used, and though the blades are separable they cannot be joined back together in most typical cases (unlike, for example, a polearm that can change the heads to incorporate different types of weaponry for different uses such as a poleaxe/pollaxe)
Common sense already takes care of the potential confusion. So implementing this change on the profile won't hurt. (as I've already posted the profile on-site LOL)."Weaknesses: Certain scissors are made of plastic and all scissors are made of metal, meaning that any power that can exploit these materials can hinder the attacker."
Sounds a bit contradictory (despite the clarification in Material), maybe it could be rephrased to:
Weaknesses: All scissors have parts made with metal and certain scissors additionally consist of parts made with plastic, meaning that any power/ability that can exploit or damage these materials can hinder the wielder.
Not exactly about not being separable, just not being able to rejoin together (or at least not without difficulty, though it probably depends on scissor type again)Do we have scans for the blades not being seperable in some cases? And knives+katana blades are 9-C in durability too, so do we have evidence that the metal can be 9-B and not guesswork?
Again, do we have scans/evidence for this?Not not being separable, just not being able to rejoin together (or at least not without difficulty, though it probably depends on scissor type again)
Majority of bullets and the tiering system are designed to have 9-C energy. They pierce through 9-B stuff by piercing damage despite animals having 9-B durability feats.as for 9-B, I'd say blades being able to cut through or deflect bullets? (has been done in magic tricks like splitting a bullet with an axe blade to hit two targets at the same time, but with scissors it's a stretch, I doubt scissors are made out of spring or tool steel or high-carbon or other composite steels and other durable alloys that swords or spears or heavy duty tools and weaponry in general are made out of, but theoretically possible)
Not necessarily scans, but I haven't personally seen anyone break scissors apart and then put them back together, but I could be wrong given how simple the construction is relatively
We don't accept personal experience if common sense or credible sources don't support your claimsNot necessarily scans, but I haven't personally seen anyone break scissors apart and then put them back together, but I could be wrong given how simple the construction is relatively
1: I know you're not saying that scissors should be 9-B, but people can use the same reasoning of "cutting through 9-B materials" to upgrade scissors to 9-B. And Our tiering system is oversimplified to where you can damage higher durability beings with lower energy piercing damage. And most of our swords and cutting weapons are 9-C due to this.I underestimated how old they are OOF, but yeah durability wise I'd say certain types of blades could possibly cut through 9-B durability materials like stone or metal (also, I guess it depends how far you'd stretch the definition of scissors/shears, hydraulic cutters apparently count lel)
And I agree with depending on bullet type/caliber/size and speed and thus KE and force.
I think for convenience and efficiency it's best to do it here... probably (personally would stick to one general purpose thread already being used compared to making new specialised/focused threads and waiting for responses)Should I take a massive scan/source request for my future calcs on IRL animals here? Or another thread? I want others to do some of the work for me as long as it's voluntary.
I understand this and I understood the source videoWe don't accept personal experience if common sense or credible sources don't support your claims
Not exactly about not being separable, just not being able to rejoin together (or at least not without difficulty, though it probably depends on scissor type again)
These I will not contest, they're pretty much accurate and/or perfectly reasonable.1: I know you're not saying that scissors should be 9-B, but people can use the same reasoning of "cutting through 9-B materials" to upgrade scissors to 9-B. And Our tiering system is oversimplified to where you can damage higher durability beings with lower energy piercing damage. And most of our swords and cutting weapons are 9-C due to this.
2: The profile is originally intended for scissors in general, not particular speciallized scissors. Not saying that hydrulic scissors should be excluded since safety scissors are on-profile, but you'd need to devote an extra key for hydrulic scissors since they're different than normal scissors you'd see everyday. And you would have to CRT the profile to have them, not me. I want to devote time to other things in my 18 year old life instead of hydrulic shears.
3: I've seen the sheets of metal you're talking about, they're still somewhat weak since they're thin. Not 9-B.
I understand this and I understood the source video
But:
1: that might pose a bit of a durability or ergonomics issue if the user accidentally or unintentionally separates the scissors
2: Most scissors/shears I've seen are not quick-detachable like that (they still do refute my earlier belief about being unable to fix scissors that came apart, but then I'd probably worry instead more about the handle breaking cause if enough force is applied to a hard enough material that the scissor is unable to cut through either as a single scissor or dual knives the handle, if plastic, could break off from the metal blade tang, but this is less of an issue with full-metal scissors/shears unless rusting or wear and tear occurs to that point which is far worse)
(as per my earlier statement ^, separable, yes, but not instantly detachable and re-attachable as in your video's case, though said video's scissors are reminiscent of convertible bo staffs to escrima sticks in the sense of means of conversion) (at least not household or general purpose versions) (copypasting images from the Scissors Wikipedia article)

IDK initially, but ok. The scope of the calc request as a whole is fairly large, so if most people here agree it should be a different thread, then I'll make the thread.I think for convenience and efficiency it's best to do it here... probably (personally would stick to one general purpose thread already being used compared to making new specialised/focused threads and waiting for responses)
