Sure. Would stuff like "Mages cast so many spells per day" or "Wizards learn from scrolls" be ok?

Ok?

Come on, people.

I dont care WHAT level the mage is, no one at this tech level should be able to shred armor like that. Sure, you dont agree with Laz's tactics. But can you at least concede one freakin point?

Here is the problem. He is basically stealing every state secret I have with that post. Goa'Uld have a genetic memory IIRC and if he takes over a high level mages mind and then mass produces Goa'Uld mages.. he unbalances the game massivly in his favor.

I have NO TECHNOLOGY MARE ADVANCED THAN GUNPOWDER. He is basically taking the one edge I have, and then augmenting it with his own tech level.

STFU and read the aggreement I just made, the mage's resisting distroys most of his memory, I get only a few scraps.

What, for your own newly advanced Goa'Uld troops? Fuck you.

(I hate being at school while all of this is being discussed, I miss half the thread)

Go ahead, try to learn something, Once he doesnt show up at the barracks in oh say... 5 minutes, diviners will scry on his location.

problem solved

Alyrium, if we ever get into a ground war, are you going to pull shit like

::::::My uber 1337 mage of doom shrugs off your puny weaponz fire and casts 10,000 uber spells of 1337 death that wipes out your whole army MUA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ::::::::::?

I would never do that, I have quantified the abilities of my grunts. But he took someone who amounts to an officer out of my territory when i have 1/7th of my fleet in system. YHe did so with complete immunity.

I will note that Laz has powergamed in every D&D game we have played in, we have had to kill off and remake him what qwas it... 4-5 times in one campaign...

Uh.......read the thread. He DID detect that. It's just that as long as I cloak quickly, and leave even quicker, he can't really act on that info.

You realize that we have astropath that detect cloaked ships right? Hell that is B5 tech level.

Oh yeah, sensors that can detect cloaks instantly ISN'T powergaming. I see now.

The ability to know where any person is at any time is so fucking godmoding.

It is within the tech level DS9>Babylon 5. Detecting the minds of a ships crew would alert the vessel in question to a cloaked vessel, maybe not its location, but its presence.

I call Bullshit. The ability to know where any person is at any time is so fucking godmoding. What's to stop you from using that to track any ship you see.

You dont get it do you... tracking one of your own troops is far easier than tracking someone you dont know. Consider it like a transponder tag.

A transponder tag that cannot be blocked, sheilded, or removed. I still call bullshit.

The Mage is a military officer, it makes sense that when he turns up U.A that they scry for him.

This is the second time Laz has snuck into a highly militarized zone and done stupid shit. It's powergaming.

DS9 tech level. Call up the computer, know where any crewman is at any given moment. Its well within Trek capabilities.

Agreed. And he WILL keep doing it. Read the Forgoten realsm game and see how many characters he went through because of his powergaming crap. He killed him off so many times...

Funny everyone seems able to do it! Using Divining magics to find people is old shit in D&D. Tagging officers for easy locating is old shit in Sci Fi. Get over it. You can't block it BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT MAGIC TO BLOCK IT!

So now you have the almighty sleath ship? NO. The cloak in DS9 is the tool of uber sneakiness you are painting it to be.

THAT'S WHAT I ALLREADY AGGREED TO. READ THE DAMN OOC THREAD.

ok, if that is accecbale. This subject is closed.

That would be acceptable.

Rogue 9 wrote:20 seconds in system? Seems a little inconsistent with earlier posts, doesn't it? In the first version, you hung around and scanned for magic (with what sort of scanners, I know not). In the second version of your story you had a spy on the ground knock out the mage and beam up with the body. Again, this requires you to either scan or be in communications contact with the spy or both. None of your posts have indicated that you jumped to hyperspace as soon as the mage was on board; instead you've always tried to attach the symbiont first. All this takes more than 20 seconds. You're just pulling an outrageously short amount of time out of your ass in order to make our attempts to counter look more outrageous, but when you think about what you're trying to do in all of those 20 seconds, things begin to look fishy.

Old grudges Aly, keep them out of this game.

Jeebus, you must hold some kina grudge to mention somthing that happend awhile ago in ANOTHER GAME.

And the mod has ruled in my favor, deal with it.
