That match is so old that Kratos was still a 4-D smurf and didn't have innate CM Type 1 applied to him and the verse. Even with Time Travel, it could go very differently (since survivability was a big part of Gunvolt's argument at the time). So we can't just leave it up at that point.
Even with the tier difference put aside, there have been a lot of changes since then to the general verse abilities. It's moreso that the revision was when I noticed it was still up and decided to finally remove it.
So long as it has to be initially activated and isn't passive then it is healing by our definition. A continous zone of healing isn't rare at all in fiction and neither are any of the other examples you gave exceptions to the rule.
"Healing can't be godly" feels closer to an argument of...
I think the latter. He still held hope and some sense of decency for his family, if nothing else. But every time he held hope for things to get better, they got worse, until he went mad and lost all reason.
As for the inability to forget, that did directly contribute but for all his faults...
The "came on a boat" argument is something that's been addressed repeatedly since 2019. I am happy to do that again but this feels like trying to question an entirely unrelated aspect of the verse from the topic at hand.
There's a whole section on separation that talks about it in the...
Mostly correct but Chaos as in specifically the embodiment of life and source of everything is unique to Greece. The Primordial forces in Norse are similar in nature but not the same entity.
Not really? Each pantheon is its own reality with its own origin/creation within its "borders" so to speak. On this, Norse and Greece wouldn't have any bearing on each other whatsoever, in as far as creator gods go.
I feel like an issue here is the assumption that a Type 1 concept must either...
Eseseso's been warned. Pepsiman's comments are uncalled for but feel very minor to me. Same with Tony. But I'm not the best judge of this sort of thing.
I do eventually plan to rework it but I'm winding down the semester as it is. Maybe within 10 days I can do something.
Though, we're at 8-4-1 as it stands so I suppose this is just a matter of waiting on Grath to conclude.
Very busy so this is likely all I can say for now.
Could that very same logic not be applied to the other thread that were closed though? Or really any thread that gets closed without staff doing a second run to confirm their votes?
I dunno why you fixate on the second removal thread. If it's the one with magma manipulation removal, I didn't...
It's 6 votes that disagree and DarkGrath's last post was clarification on what Deagonx thinks concepts are, not an assertion that she might flip votes. Not to mention the lack of comments for hours on end. And one of those was closed with a one vote difference, while posts where still being...
This is arguably more egregious than those cases because there was no discussion for the last 4 hours, as opposed to a thread being closed in the middle of posts being made.
I won't try to close it anymore myself, largely because it'd lead to a back-and-forth that goes nowhere, but I'm just...
Deagonx, the thread is done with almost a 2 times voting difference. You yourself have closed closer threads within the same range of time so I'm not sure what the issue here is.
This is not a marginal difference and there isn't ongoing discussion on the thread proper. It can be closed just fine.
It doesn't need to be for the case of Gaia, her body was destroyed before this after the Titan War and she still survived. Her death is never stated to begin with.
The mantle of the Heavens was shifted downwards to Cronos then further until Zeus. Domains are already "seats of metaphysical...
He "killed" her physical body and this isn't really the first time this has happened even in-universe (the novel says her Titan body was destroyed post-Titanomachy) so I dunno what this even means.
I have no idea how someone can read the above SCP articles, with blatant Tiering System references and compare them to Wildbow's works.
For all his interactions with the fandom, there's little to no in-work "contamination" I saw in Worm and most of Ward. That's one of the main issues here, not...
I do not see what compromise solution is needed. There doesn't seem to be a refute to Chaos's nature as well as the nature of magic so at most I can see is having just magic be Type 1 Conceptual Manipulation rather than the souls being Type 1 concepts, even if they're made of magic.
But I am...
The box is specifically forged of magical metal shaped by a greater power than the gods themselves, by Hephaestus not Zeus. And energy force? The novel itself has them infect them on the level of both their souls, "deeper than that" and affect the domains that the gods embody, so this is very...
Because they're the evils themselves rather than some magical embodiment. Greed isn't some weird black thing that represents it, but Greed itself. The same goes for the rest.
You yourself agree that evil in itself is a concept in one of the very first sentence of this thread so I dunno the...
Are you asking for general in-universe feats of affecting universal abstracts or just the Primordials? The former happens with Zeus sealing the Evils, literal negative forces like Greed, Fear, Rage etc. which even affected the Primordials. The latter more or less ties back into whether or not...
I mean, the main argument is tied to the fundamental power everyone in the setting uses, which stems from Chaos/Life.
It can be debated whether or not it's conceptual but scaling isn't really in doubt.
