Re: Super Power Lottery
And you still aren't getting it. I erased that entire concept. As in, it no longer exists. At all. Nor does your power. Nor does anything involved with your power. I then rewrite reality to the point that the status quo remains the same, but balance is not required in any manner.
You power is nice, yes. But it doesn't grant the same level of power as what me or Eldest have
Have a nice day.

Re: Super Power Lottery
No, as a part of both of our abilities, we literally have "we are immune to it. Yes, even that." Balance doesn't contain that.
And you are correct, this wiki has a lot of absolute powers, which are very, very strong if you have imagination and willpower. It also has a lot of crappy powers. This is part of why people started trying to see if they could beat omnipotence.LGBTA+itP

Re: Super Power Lottery
You misunderstand. Nowhere in your entry does it give you similar immunity. Which means we can, quite literally, write you out of existence in such a manner that you are incapable of adapting.
It's like the thought experiment about if an omnipotent created something utterly unliftable/unkillable/unwhatever, would they be able to lift/kill/whatever it?
The answer, as paradoxical as it sounds, is yes. So we are quite literally capable of making something that you are incapable of adapting to. And then murdering you with it (or y'know, inflicting whatever fate we please upon you) in such a way so that you are incapable of ever adapting to it.

Re: Super Power Lottery
You can adapt? How?
Lets say Snowfire removes your power from you. What do you do?LGBTA+itP

Re: Super Power Lottery
I do not know but according to that page I will or maybe I'll just make it never have happened since I too have infinite power and can do anything.
Anyway I'm done.Last edited by pffh; 2012-11-01 at 08:39 PM.

Re: Super Power Lottery
The thing is if you remove the concept/force of Balance than you cause a domino effect where everything without expection follows suit as there is now nothing what-so-ever keeping anything in check.

Re: Super Power Lottery
Um, Snowfire, you know Omnilock explicitly states that the user is immune to all powers, right? Which sort of includes, y'know, the three you listed that made you aware of me.
Now. That said, as you pointed out, there are also a couple of flaws in that plan that don't rely on you knowing what I'm doing. So from my nice hidden non-real unspace, I use Nonexistence on the concept of pleasure. All kinds. At best, people will feel apathy, and considering all the stressors in the world, that's rather unlikely. And since Nonexistence erases memories too, and your point about knowing what I was doing would have been unnecessary if you felt that part didn't affect you, well... You would, in this case, almost certainly have to know what I did to put it right, since you can't even conceive of pleasure as a thing. And due to Omnilock, you can't know what I did.
Sure, I probably just royally screwed over the whole multiverse just to hurt you, but at least this way I should get you to kill yourself, rather than having to actually beat your defenses.
Of course, given that I'm using a set of powers that are functionally equivalent to Omnipotence, my original point (based on the understanding that all of those things you're listing were, y'know, potentials, if you thought to apply them, which makes more sense than them being automatic effects... ) that if you have a sufficiently clever plan and a way to keep the Omnipotent person unaware of it, lesser powers can be effective, is sort of moot in my case, but eh, whatever, it's fun to try to kill you.Last edited by Lady Serpentine; 2012-11-03 at 02:45 AM.

Re: Super Power Lottery
I got Concussive Force. Is that some weird kind of telekenisis? But also makes you super-strong. Cool.
I edited it because I accidently just selected the elemental combat straight away.Last edited by Thattaman; 2012-11-03 at 04:41 AM.

Re: Super Power Lottery
The issue is, I have Omnilock too. So I'm out there outside of existence with you as you're doing whatever you're doing. And I'm also flat out immune to you using Nonexistence on me - directly or indirectly (which is what you're doing). So you do that whole thing, and I then use Absolute Restoration coupled with Universal Irreversibility to put the universe back the way it was.
I then delete the concept of you, personally, having powers of any kind beyond human norm and go home.

Re: Super Power Lottery
That is somewhat more difficult to get around, yes. Theoretically, as it makes no exception for itself, I'm still immune to your Omnilock.. But, as you said, you're immune to mine, too. So I suppose we both vanish in a flash of logic due to being completely paradoxical?
That, or we end up destroying all of reality for the same reason, and are still stuck outside of it, now with even more reason to kill each other.
And if you're immune to Nonexistence, even indirectly, why didn't you raise that point the first time, when I made any SO you might have nonexistent? Shouldn't that have been something you pointed out when I first used Nonexistence against you, rather than only when it's necessary to break the attack?
In response to which I yawn, point out that Omnipotence is in my power set too, so neither of us can affect the other by your argument above, and head off to a universe you take less interest in.Last edited by Lady Serpentine; 2012-11-03 at 02:24 PM.

Re: Super Power Lottery
If two truly omnipotent beings exist in the same universe, this state of affairs will only continue until one of them places limits on what the other can do. Whichever one places a critical limit first is the one that wins, with the other one no longer being truly omnipotent from that moment on. Immunity to being limited by the other is, of course, exactly such a limit.
So, who acted first?Last edited by Douglas; 2012-11-03 at 11:20 PM.

Re: Super Power Lottery
Look, if we really have to figure out who's strongest, it'd either be a tie or me. Since I'm either equally omnipotent as you guys, or (in the terms of an RPG) I'm the DM who wrote himself into the game, and you guys are Ao or any other overdiety of your choice.
But I don't like lording over people one bit (took a test, got 1/9 on "likes to control") so truce is good.LGBTA+itP

Only one way for you to settle this.

Re: Super Power Lottery
Bugger that, I like my power. And I'm perfectly happy with sharing absolute power.
Besides, the site has far too many absolutes. We've got three people, all with different named powers, that all have omnipotence, and two other guys who have stuff that, with creativity, approximates omnipotence. And we have the LUTAS people too.LGBTA+itP

Re: Super Power Lottery
Technically, if I'm one of the three you mentioned, I have, like Omnipotence+ or something. I didn't actually get a power, I got a list, and it included Omnipotence, plus a bunch of the other really powerful things.
So mine, at least, was more a condition of the rules of the lottery, namely that those who get lists have everything on them, than that it has too many absolutes (though I do agree that that's the case).
