Star Wars RolePlay

I never said it didn't detonate, in fact, I fully acknowledged the fact that it was detonated, though gave perfectly good reason as to how delayed the explosion was since Ark's telekinetic slap would be quick to knock it down.

As for controlling your character, I didn't control him, but described what YOU wrote for him doing, but in conjunction to what happened regarding the explosion, etc.

If you don't agree with how I portrayed your character, I want to point out that You yourself said that he moved out of the way upon seeing the ignited fuel, you said that he leaped towards new cover, and I only related that with the way in which the explosion occurred.- the explosion was sped up by the early detonation and by Kade's use of pyrokinesis.

I should also mention that the explosion occurred in a post that was before your reaction post to it, so it's not like I'm pulling something new out of thin air to combat something you've already done, I'm only using what you both posted against you.

You backtracked dude. We already described it detonating high enough to not cause the damage you are describing, you effectively negated our already posted description of the explosion. Regardless of your speed one of us would have either shot it or detonated it, which we described.

You detailed what he could, and could not see from his cover. Even though I already stated he could see the canister. You pretty much auto hit him for damage when I already stated in my post that he had moved prior to the flames spreading to his position, which I also stated would protect him from a secondary explosion.

Detonating it at a high enough point to not cause the damage I portrayed is debatable, because neither of you described what damage it in fact caused, nor just how high it was upon detonation, and giving my explanation of how Kade's triggering it would be delayed, I think it's an incredibly fair assumption that it was half way between where Ark initially wrote and where you think it should be

You also said in your post that Delmon didn't shoot the canister, meaning it's entirely up to Kade's reaction time, being reasoned to be slower. Besides all that, Ark's pyrokinesis still directs the blast back towards both of you, regardless of where each of you were positioned... And as far as controlling what Delmon could or couldn't see:

I described the flames and how they were moving slowly towards Delmon's position, just before I described him moving to a completely different one. The explosion was mentioned by both of us. Thats already happened chronologically, you can't just decide to go back and change how it went down.

It exploded almost immediately after you went to knock it down, it lit some of the fuel on fire, and Delmon moved before the flames started to move towards him. I doubt Ark knocking it down would be any faster than Kade pressing the button his finger as already on. Speaking of which you also controlled in what way Kade directed the flames.

The only reason he didn't shoot it is because it already detonated due to Kade using the detonator on it. I stated in my post as well that if it deviated from its flight path he would immediately shoot it. These events had already transpired, you can't change their outcome after the fact. I see no reason for his reaction time to be slower, as he was anticipating for Ark to do something.

Instead of throwing a fit about something bring in an admin. As a seasoned pvper I can tell you right now, the Flame did nothing that was breaking the rules. Rereading the thread, the canister was never shot by your character, he was prepared to open fire but never did.

Unless your character is a force sensitive how would he anticipate much less prevent the telekinetic slap Ark employed? Flame used information YOU provided him in your posts to come up with a counter. However, if you think he is powerplaying I would highly suggest you bring in an admin and get a ruling. Otherwise this is just pointless bickering and get nothing accomplished ic.

I am not going to weigh in either way, since I am Jedi FL and would be prone to bias, James, please don't make this messier than it already is. TJ and Flame were having a discussion, trying to avoid an admin ruling, you accusing TJ of throwing a fit is both untrue and accomplishes nothing. If they want to seek admin insight, that is fine, if they want to sort it between themselves, please let them. Thanks.

You are right, I am tired and didn't mean to come off abrasive. My point being that at this point neither of them are agreeing on this and cannot see eye to eye on the subject. I would find an admin at this point and get a ruling. I apologize for seeming rude, it wasn't my intent when writing my post here, I'm just tired XD

Okay, I am going to throw my lot in on this as the other individual involved :3.

Point one: Canister. Reaction times are a thing, Kade hurled it quite hard across the hangar and Ark went to slap it down. Considering how high it went to get over the mounds and create an arcing trajectory it had probably three-four seconds to hit the ground. Kade's suit which reacts on nerve impulses at the same speed if not quicker than what his muscles do hit the small detonator and had it explode.

Thats about a 1.7 second reaction time even for a Jedi's brain impulses to register what they see to the reaction. So it could easily detonate close to the ground. These tanks are built to take a hell of a punishment so when they explode, the kind of shrapnel sprayed everywhere which Ark's pyro wouldn't affect.

This Would hit everything in a killzone of about ten meters and a severe wounding zone of about fifteen to twenty (Or more really depending the force) if you are lacking in armour made to take shards of metal flung at you at high speed that is also superheated.

Fire redirection: I never stated which way Kade was redirecting it, both my fault and I had a reason to it. One: His control is lesser than that of Arks own. It would be flung in every direction and around him sort of like water hitting a rock and being diverted around it.

So it is plausible some of the flames and heat could be sent TJ's way and the reaction to that for TJ could be settled as him ducking behind cover, diving away and so on.
