but that's so unsatisfying. It's not us facng the overwhelming odds, it's the villains who have to face overwhelming odds. What are we playing, a tower defence game, where enemies in greater and greater numbers and stats keep spawning until one makes it through, while IRIS gives us unlimited money for towers?
What, so squishy humans are supposed to beat Void monsters with money now? The overwhelming odds are there, they just aren't from the governments themselves.

but that more or less reduces the game to the most boring component - grinding our stats against enemies. We are too OP to ever have any actual sense of accomplishment there.

anyway, entirely detached from that topic is still the sheer number of characters. Some form of culling really feels needed

Anything concerning the Goverment falls under Elf's jurisdiction. Let's leave it at that
Except that Elf does literally nothing.

I've already established this. Don't expect me to be apathetic without first asking.
Hey, Elf, can I expect you to be apathetic based on how you almost never so much as post in either thread, let alone moderate anything?
Seriously. I don't think I saw any posts from you for weeks if not months before this discussion.

but that's so unsatisfying. It's not us facng the overwhelming odds, it's the villains who have to face overwhelming odds.

It's been successful so far.

Hence why even more Op villains are needed. Osmodias, for instance, has a state pool of 171 and can mindcontrol people as well as cast powerfl true word magic that doesn't require mana.

Anyways, yeah, I agree that some characters need to go, but in a way that is good for story and for character development.

Also, Not helping GWG. Seriously.

Indeed, just killing random people off isn't actually within the theme.

Also, yes, humans could have done something against the Vatican situation ages ago. there is something called a military, they shoot things with guns, which kills humans. The moment they would have noticed that the soldiers they send get converted to the order (newsflash, special ops carry cameras), they would have done something against that, instead they just kinda sit there and do nothing, waiting for the teenagers to come in and do it?

suspension of disbelief...


that being said, Pride issue. no government in the world would accept some private group of teenagers to settle their problems for them.

So what? We just keep escalating everything until it's a challenge again? We've beaten gods with ease. Besides, like I've said, our powers render most everything save combat trivial.

Sanures jets btw have amptly shown us that military hardware is indeed capable of being devastating in combat against magic.


Osmodias is difficult for us to fight, but not so difficult for a laser guided rocket

The order has ways of negating Physical damage and are otherwise much stronger and more organized than a typical military. Hell, they even had jets that were more advanced than modern airforce.

Anyways, Here's a strawpoll made with an app from my phone. Have Fun. http://strawpoll.me/1781078

yeah, and their guards are walking around doing nothing so Kyle could get right in front of the vault and nothing happened at all until he attacked Luthar. Man, these guys sure are an insurmountable obstacle to a special ops team.

Some things appear simple. Ever tried luring a person into a trap by appearing stupid? It is really easy.

to be fair, luring Kyle and/or Keith into traps is (no offense KJ) like fishing from a barrel.

You're missing the point, methinks.
Wait, how does the Order have better military technology than the military of martial superpowers?!?

It doesn't have options that will help much. Yes, it would probably help if we had fewer characters, but most of the problematic ones remain quite active, but the problem is more fundamental. A clean slate, new characters, and whatnot is pretty much the only way we can get rid of the gamebreaking characters and legacy of mandatory one-upmanship.

I am against a full clean slate. The powers are less of a problem than the unlimited resources of information and technology
