We did not post a thousand posts in one night, however long that might be.

Not really drama more frustration with being unable to do something I have every right and reason to do since it can be easily prevented by any enemy we fight.
Having the power to one shot everything isn't fun for a GM. I'm putting severe nerfs on that and fixing the mechanics to allow it some more.
Aren't distortions really, really light? Wouldn't most kinds of armor, or even heavy clothing, stop that pretty easily? And wouldn't that also prevent the blade from cutting very deep?
Yes. I think Kyle compensated for that by using a massive amount of wind magic to slam it in. But I doubt it's MP cost is cheap.

How short are your pages, and how long your nights?
50 posts per page, although that was a longer than normal night. :v

Mostly it's the absurd sharpness that makes up for it. But yes, that is a major flaw and it's being worked on.

And by being worked on, I mean trying to figure out how to counteract it by either filling it up with iridium or getting Selina to draw something to give it more momentum.

Well, Sukukaja would boost its speed to the point it would hurt anyway, so I suppose that's a moot point.

Oh. Misread. (And miscalculated; 200 pages would have been 10,000 posts.)

It's been discussed elsewhere with relation to adamantine that, unless you have a perfect plane, friction will make it dang hard to get past any kind of armor, and even with the plane you would need to be strong to cut very far into anything. See, you can't build up any momentum, and distortions are presumably not frictionless.
And no need to fix! It keeps things balanced.

That does raise a good point, fixing it makes the gunshot slice more OP. Distortions are not frictionless. Unconsolidated ones are, but those have their own limitations.

Actually, not so much, since it'd still have the same penetration problems, since that would not benefit from the core.

Hell, if it requires the blade actually pierce them, then it wouldn't function anymore if it had non-distortion properties.

I am intent on killing or locking up the prisoners at some point. I will make it happen.

Not if Kyle has anything to say about it. Because I am going to search every abandoned building in the city for the rest of the gang and then they will be hung.

Wasn't the last time someone did something like this the time everyone in the team ganged up on them and killed them?

You mean the Layars or do you mean the Hart bitch? Or is there some other incident I've forgotten?

I dunno, I remember everyone wanting to kill someone for no real reason.
