Regarding "Breaking in the West"

Continuing the discussion from the IC thread, as it shouldn't be done there.

Now, there's a number of things wrong with what you guys have said, but since I don't find arguing against faulty logic to be fun, how about I change my post a bit to make it different (though no less completely plausible)?

im just going by what u said earlier about fausts speech being an action that took time. if that were true and u went by order of events, the cero shot would have happened the same time u fired ur bakudo at me (which i have full intention of being hit by btw)

Actually, it would not. You appeared before Erika the instant after she attacked. At this point, Faust hasn't even begun to talk. Erika moved in response to your attack, and fired the kido an instant after Fukki fired his. At this point, Faust MAY have begun to talk. If we're going by "talking isn't a free action", then Faust wouldn't even be half done his speech by the time Hezro has been frozen in place.

Anyway, I really want to resolve this BEFORE having to deal with Faust because I know exactly how that conversation is going to go. If you want to bring up the difficulty of a level 63 Kido, I'll bring up the fact that its much easier to fire off than a Gran Rey Cero. Faust also noted that he had to take a second to charge the cero - which is shown in the anime as well when Grimmjow used it - so even if he was behind Erika during that series of events, she would have time to shunpo away after firing the bakudo, in the nick of time. After all, since she didn't use the incantation, it wouldn't take long. It might not b strong, but it should be enough to hold Hezro in place for about a second or two, which is all that's needed.

well for starters i never used sonido to get to u, i said " hezro rushed forward" and never said anything about sonido. Since the kido wasn't directed at me, i could avoid it by passing it before the blast widened out to hit me, which i said by stating "he followed the edge of the blast.." meaning i was extremely close to it. so that could give him some more time. I think the majority of this is due to him not fully rewriting his post after we posted at the same time. i think if he did that instead of switching around a few words would really improve the situation. Also if faust was to fire the cero when u say so, he would still be firing it at u , being in the air now, than at me being on the ground.

For one, Faust would never be able to appear in the air, because shadows do not float.

But that makes an interesting thing - Faust seems to be under the assumption that you DID use Sonido, by his wording that says "He appeared a mere ten feet behind the two Shinigami an instant after hezro appeared in front of them."

If you did not 'appear' in front of Erika, then that adds even more validity to Erika's movements, because she can then fire off her bakudo before you even launch your attack, meaning she is flash stepping away before Faust even looses the Cero from behind her.

I think this needs a bump;
Fukki's absence is justified, but Faust's long-term absence is inexcusable.

I hope he will soon post or something bad will ensue;the worst case scenario would be to relinquish his position as one of the Espada

I haven't heard from Faust since his last post. BUT since he hasn't started the topic with Erika yet can he be charged with such a thing? I mean I'd hate for the Espada to lose a member at a critical time such as this.

Indeed...he could have at least some sense of responsibility

Zafaron was talking about putting a one post charge time on Gran Rey, and if he did, Faux would need to majorly revamp shit anyway.

we have already decided to restart the topic kuro, so the cero now is irrelevant

So Faust is as good as GONE along with Druid. So we can easily just X those two out unless someone wishs to take up the characters for the sake of finishing the War. They would mostly likely die as a cause unless you wish to make them your prema character. I'll let Zaf decide that. In the mean time Cookies, and Milf at my place.

the activity check still has a few days to it, still, losing two espada isn't good for this war. HOPEFULLY we will be allowed to RP as them.

Basically what Roga said will hold true. If they don't return then anyone who wishes, whether they have an espada or not, will be allowed to RP as them. Whatever happens with that character after that is up to the person who has gained control.
