we were arguing that in the game obsidian would be closer to fire-types or black-type avatars (obsidian being popularly black and a product of dried lava which tends to be lumped in with fire in yer average vidya gaem)
and then sb complained that most people would logically assume obsidian = rock
i pointed out people aren't exactly as clever as we might assume or as good at remembering shit as he thinks

[Chevaleresse]

i can see obsidian as black because yknow
obsidian is black

fire i can sort of see but not readily

[Powder Miner]

but yeah I think black is probably the closest association here

[Twinwolf]

Why are you even arguing on this
When there's already an obsidian earth-type and it's not SB's character


Also, watching Accel World, and just got to episode 7 which raised a question.

Weaknesses; are they a thing in the game? Will water types be weak to electric, will far-left metal types be immune to poison, etc.?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

i dunno
because sb felt like pointing out obsidian should be earth when most people assume it's not really a rock but glass (don't lecture me here i've had sb repeatedly complain about it being a rock for the last two pages i know what it is) and thus is earth element
nobody cares
it's black-type or bust

Also, on a more serious note, I'm still deciding. If they are, they will primarily stay within the Element-type avatars and be simplified (i.e. all Metal-types are immune to poison, etc.).

[Twinwolf]

...Well that begs the question of "why would you ever pick an element if they have weaknesses and nothing else does". Maybe say that, since this apparently takes place a year after the show, there was an update that got rid of weaknesses and resistances for balance reasons?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Wasn't the show set in 2047? This game is contemporary to it.

Iunno, because elements are only weak to other elements and the majority of avatars are colors?

[Twinwolf]

The show states that the oldest is 15. You stated it to be 16.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Looking at the OP and the chronological date, the game is contemporary with the show as both are in 2047.

Just assume a few elements of the setting are different. Besides, in canon, there wasn't a huge war between the legions over the death of the Red King that leaves a lot of convenient territory to be robbed and there sure as hell was no Lightning, Orange or Wood-type avatars.

[Twinwolf]

A good point. I assume part of that is that elements are actually not that uncommon?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Elements are still pretty uncommon. It goes Colors > Elements > Metals.

- 1 Black (?), 2 Whites, 1 Blue, 1 Red
- 2 Earths, 1 Wood, 1 Wind
- 1 Metal

I'd say we're good.

[SOLDIER First]

obviously someone does care or i wouldn't have fucking mentioned it

[IamanElfCollaborator]

SB, the argument is over. I rule Obsidian would be a Black-type over an Earth-type and I'll grandfather in Obsidian Bear as an exception unless Blue wants to change types anyway. I said this earlier, although not in as serious a manner as I am doing right now.

Now drop it.

[Twinwolf]

...Well Bluexdog has to redo their character a bit.

[SOLDIER First]

i didn't say anything about which type it should be
i simply rebuffed your earlier statement that nobody cares by saying that i quite obviously do, or else i wouldn't have pursued the discussion in the first place

they're entirely different points
