Tiering System Revisions

These are very valid points. Now I am getting considerably more uneasy about these revisions again. It might be best if we continue to rate Outerverse level as being beyond all degrees of time and space. Wouldn't this also qualify them as being beyond stacking infinities, as is the current suggestion?

This is pretty much semantics, though, one thing includes the other. It's just that the definition suggested here makes the tier itself far more straightforward while maintaining the original intent untouched.

I like option 1 the most. It compresses dimensions into one tier where it can stay separate from much larger scoped stuff and it felt the most "symmetrical," option 4 is the only one which maintains some of the balance of option 1

Compressing dimensions into one tier (1-C) just to make room for muh outerverse levels is a very very bad idea, like down it's very principles. Outerverse shenanigans are not that important. We're just obsessing over a tier which characters are mostly at that level due to blah blah statements and hyperbole, and not at all based on any actual feats or meaningful context, with the exception of maybe the Masadaverse.

You already voted for Option 4 so I already added you there. Was this a typo then, or...?

Ultima also confirmed on Discord that Outerversal and Tier 0 are mechanically different between Options 1 and 2. Saying that Option 1s Outerverse classification cannot work with Option 2 and thus Option 3 is null and void.
I thought that option 3 was option 2 with slightly different naming procedures?
 
All this super-duper galaxy-brained hyper-pedantic mathematics over fictional character indexing is less than meaningless, especially when it comes from non-mathematicians.

I absolutely agree with this. I'll go into further detail later.

It's more precisely Option 1 Higher tiers with its lower tiers decompressed. It makes the "low 1-+" in Option 2 its own tier instead of a simple modifier.

I just finished talking with Ultima in Discord, and there don't seem to be a problem. It's still what it is.
 
I'm fine with option 3. I actually believe we need more subsets of 1-A than less given how expansive it is.

Here's a question though: Since outerversal is now being changed to something that can't be reached by stacking infinities, are there any alternate descriptions for the requirement?
 
@Sera

True enough. So should we keep the baseline requirement as it is then?
 
Of course. The ordinal stuff is just under the hood schematics.

Drunk majima
But for real tho, I chose the same vote as Matt.

I'd like to switch my vote back to option1, honestly.
Done.


@Sera hey! That's cheating!

Well then.....I choose Option 6! Adding Tier 12, the opposite of current 1-A, in that tier you're lower than the concept of dimensions owo

Or 7 : do nothing ;)
 
I think that the new definition of 1-A should highlight the idea of a qualitative difference instead of one based on quantity. It is basically the same thing, or at least very similar, but it is an important point and should honestly be easier to understand for most people imo.

Hierarchies are a hard thing since their definition within a verse can vary greatly. If we define the difference in power between a Low 1-A and a 1-A to be a qualitative jump in power instead of a quantitative one, it should make the definition easier to apply to more verses, especially those with more nebulous hierarchies
