Why not? :smallconfused:

Because adults don't generally want to fight against children. Unless it's a dad vs his own kids in a tickle fight.
That probably also applies to 12 year old Eon as well.
In the end, it's Harnel's call, though individual PCs may decline to fight against either child.

I did mention it in ym first post and never got any respond to it, so I assume it goes through. Also Eon looks like a 16 year old teenager.

No, that's refusing to endanger children.

Even if it isn't to the death?

Yes.
A long while ago, there was a big how-to-do over an Exalted in GLoG planning on using Jamie (roughly 12-13 then) and other children as bait to take on some bad guys. And even though there wasn't very much chance of danger to the children at all, it still was generally appealed against.
I personally remember it as the only time people agreed with Rein and Tobias on something. :smalltongue:

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
Huh.
I'm still not sure what the problem is if it's not to the death.
-
Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
Because "not to the death" does not mean the same thing as there being no injury.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
In any case, the people running the thing are allowed to exclude whoever they feel like excluding.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
Because it's dangerous. Because most mammals have a strong instinct to protect young creatures. Because you don't have to intend to kill someone to actually do it, especially if you're using deadly weapons. Because there are bad things that can happen with weapons other than killing someone - such as brain damage, scarring, paralysis. Because no one is going to feel a sense of accomplishment over defeating a child in combat, and so will consider it a waste of their time to try.
Take your pick. Like I said before, it's up to Harnel whether to allow children in his tournament, and it's up to individual PCs in the tournament whether they will actually enter combat with child PCs.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
I know it's up to Harnel about this, but I'm kinda (okay a lot) iffy about having a nine-year-old girl in the same tournament as my Spetsnaz soldier.

Frankly, I don't care about whether or not she can hold her own. I would not want to write a fight scene with a child.

I'll quote this, since it's true. RB will not have to write a fight scene of that nature if you don't want to.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
I know that, as one of the judges, Wenomir would definetly protest against children being allowed to fight. So there's that.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
My sister is in the hospital, so I may not be on much tonight. Sorry.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
Ouch. Hope she gets well soon. :smallfrown:

I hope your sister gets well soon, C'nor.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
I hope the best for her as well.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
I also hope that she is okay.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
I hope your sister is okay, C'nor. I'd say give her my best wishes but...it might be a bit weird to say that a person of the Internet wishes her to be better :smalltongue:
Anyways, I...have to disappear. I may be back tomorrow, maybe not till Friday.
I had a horrible day at work today and...I need to figure things out.
And Dark Elf Bard, if I wasn't feeling so messed up right now, I'd be posting with Kirlia being quite downright against the girl fighting.
And Zefir, while Eon looks 16, wouldn't he had to have put down his real age on his registration?

Deadtime now. Goodnight, sleep tight and don't let the Myrmecoleon bite.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
Thanks, everyone. She was doing alright when I left, so hopefully she'll be better soon...

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
Hey, Terumitsu? Couldya post for that alchemy shop sometime soon?
-
Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
My apologies. I tend to fare better with more 'reactive introductions' which was why I suggested you to post first earlier.
But! I can make a post there tomorrow to get things rolling. Not now though due to the hour here.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
So, I've been playing a lot of XCOM lately (a strategy game where you fight aliens) and I had a thought that I night to a runthrough with a squad named after Nexus characters. Then I thought I might write some war stories about that squad and post them in the stories thread.
So what I'm asking is whether you folks would be okay with that, and whether there were any characters you wanted to see in particular.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
Oh! Sorry, I completely missed the part where you asked me to post first. >.<

That is , as I said, what he already did. And as said I got no reaction from Harnel.
And isn't he searching people for his school? I assume that this includes young people as well.
Edit: Also I have no problem making him a bit older.

Yes. Magtok, Magtok, Magtok, and Magtok.
