  • By the way, I liked your idea about a Supervillain holding facility and would like to see it used again in the future, a specific, dedicated Supervillain prison somewhere in New York City. Since it was your idea, what should it be called?
    I don't want to insult you, and don't intend to.

    In all honesty, I feel like you're being somewhat unfair. I told you from the outset that Prowler wanted to psychologically affect his foe, and I feel like you sort of crafted your character with that in mind. Throughout the entire story, despite repeatedly referring to his own shortcomings, Detective Fate never once exhibited any. He never cracked, there wasn't a single chink in his armor - in effect, there was never anything Prowler could have said or done that would have changed him.

    The Jarrett Holmes of this story, to me, doesn't feel like the same Jarrett from his backstory, who blamed himself for years for the brutal killing of his own family at the hands of another, then years later rationalizes the death of the Prowler at Jarrett's own hand.

    If you were suicidal, really wanted to die, and even invited me to kill you, so I snuck into your house one night and rigged your computer keyboard so that the "L" key would trigger an explosive that would blow up your home the next time it was pressed, and then you sat down the next morning and began to type your BMGf username and your house blew up, all because you pressed the button, I would be hauled away to prison for murder. It's not a perfect allegory, obviously (no such thing exists), but regardless I don't think I'd get very far with the judge by explaining that you wanted to die.

    It just feels out of character to me for Jarrett to suddenly rationalize this situation. You know him much better than I do, of course, so maybe I'm wrong.
    True - trouble is, that seems to make things even more complicated...

    If Prowler doesn't come back from the dead, this lends his victory less credence, but at the same time is in a sense more damaging to the hero.

    Conversely,

    If Prowler DOES return to life, this lends his victory greater credence, but at the same time is less damaging to the hero.

    I'm tempted to call it a stalemate, in all honesty. Do you see a clear winner? Because I don't.
    It makes sense, I still feel like both characters crossed a previously uncrossed line. They drove each other to desperation.

    It's a tough call.
    Yes... I expected that. I'm more concerned over the fact that the hero just killed the villain, with no guarantees that it was temporary.
    I understand that (though, in my opinion, there's a difference between wanting to die and actively causing your own death), I'm just trying to wrap my head around the inevitably endless debate that will follow as to who really won here... Fate walked into Prowler's trap, then proceeded to do exactly what Prowler wanted him to do. But Fate justified it to himself, preventing the 'mental breakdown' that would be expected. Further complicating things is the fact that Prowler is now dead and no longer a threat, which is one point for Fate, but... by that measure, Fate should have just shot him in the last scene. ;-)
    It takes time. More to the point, he is holding out hope that, if nothing else can kill him, Fate's coin can. Just a little peek in his head.
    *bites lip* I'm not kicked out of Digimon Quest, right? And if it hasn't been a month I'll post on Digi-destiny
    For example: Oil Sharing (not the specific RP)

    1 side has the Oil (The rich side, Persian, Delcatty etc.)
    The other side has Water (Poor side, Pichu etc)

    Constantly fighting to get what is more important, something like that.
    Hey, Superx.

    We hardly have talked but I see your a "advanced" RP'er.

    I havent RP'ed in a while but I am kinda in the mood for a RP with a advanced or whatever RP'er.

    Are you up for some sorta private RP?
    I decided to Google "Sakak Inuit", just for kicks, and guess what I found?

    A Private RP between you and someone named Kodi Girl, on a completely different website, with the very same Sakak serving kind of the same goal as in our Private RP, posted last December.

    So, was Sakak a really old character you felt like reviving, or has he been in numerous RPs that I don't know about? I'm just curious, as I had no idea about any of this.
