Ok, thanks for the explanation, Sal. Here's the reason I asked:
If you want to have this be a little more collaborative, say so. I'm certainly open to the idea.Quote:

Put it this way. Despite having been trapped on Althanas for the last 2-3 years, Miehm is still skeptical of magic. "Yer shittin me." is an expression of disbelief powerful enough to modify probability. So, a spell or attack that doesn't give him an opportunity to disbelieve in it will hit. He can also never learn the exact operation of this ability, because that would negate the entire point, if you know that by not believing in magic, you can nullify magic, you must first accept(and therefore believe in) magic. Catch 22. It only functions once on a spell because after he sees it blow something up, or what have ye, he has no choice but to accept the reality.
Sorry about the delay in being on. My job has odd hours, but I'm free every friday and all weekends(kinda, depending how lenient my wife is), so I should have a post up in the battle thread today.
Also, it's Miehm. :p
Sorry for posting in here, but I wanted to add it as a side note that the thread that you linked as a reason for picking a new partner should be posted in by the remaining partner in the group. You should explain the reason for the change, what team it is, and who is taking the place of the second member so that we, as the judges, know why a new person is joining instead of having to dig and search through OOC notes and such to find it.
That's all! Lol. Good luck and hopefully everything works out!
Sorry Taskmienster... My bad. I'll get to it now.
Whups, sorry for screwing up the name, Miehm. Here's one last question, and it's all your fault. Your little mp3 projector has gotten my music geek ready and rarin' to go, so I would like permission to add to Resheph a knowledge of music from our reality. (not too much of a stretch, as he is a god.) Y'see, I want to allow my inner metalhead to run free with a few references. I only ask so that a judge will not ding me later for using an unapproved ability.
Oh, and welcome to the battle! When your world comes crashing down, I want to be there!
Not a problem man, just wanted to have it out in the open since I remember now after talking to Miehm on AIM... but probably would forget till it was brought up. haha.
As for the music thing, you should be fine. As long as you have IC justification it shouldn't be a worry.
So, are we keeping to a posting order? If not, I may well throw a post up tonight.
Though, of course, a posting order does help to keep things neat.
for actual fighting i think that a posting order would be beneficial, but right now, not so much. I'm gonna post tonight, too, and since everything is happening all at once, don't think we need an order for now. (Yes, I am a member of the Association of Redundancy Group.)
Thoughts on the order?
Well, thus far, considering your post this evening, we've kept to the same order as we started out in... So, I think we should continue doing so.
And though we aren't yet into the fighting, perhaps for consistency's sake, we should maintain it from the start?
Edit: And another nice post. I'm impressed by my opponents for the first time in quite a while. ^_^
Well, that sounds good. Let it be known that unless someone needs to get something said, the posting order shall be as follows: TwinDeath, Exspherius, Lord Saladin, Miehm.
Thanks for the complement, also. Meant to say, your post is also impressive. I most certaintly am looking forward to seeing Savannah and Miehm finding out that they're partners now...
Having looked at some other battles, I have to say that almost everyone here in the ToC is an outstanding writer.
