#attacking restrictions

Through various forms of chicanery, I control two Pramikon, the Sky Rampart. One is set to left, one is set to right. Is combat locked out, or does the Pramikon pair cancel itself out? I’ve heard conflicting answers between both 1v1 and 3+ player scenarios. I’ve argued one side, been convinced I was wrong, then recently had someone again challenge what I thought was correct!

Pramikon creates an attacking restriction and such restrictions cannot be violated.

Therefore, a player will only be able to attack if the same opponent is the nearest opponent on both the left and the right.

They won’t be able to attack at all unless that opponent is the same, which only happens when there are only two players remaining in the game.

When left equals right, it's OK to fight.

“Mom, why do you think ghosts are intrinsically evil?”

“It’s what the science says, of course!”

“No, I mean like, what were the studies? What did they actually observe”

“Ohh, I get what you mean, Danny! Well across all reputable reports of encounters with the ghosts strong enough to matter, they’ve always attacked first and never responded to attempts at communication! There’s no reason for them to do that if they’re not evil!”

“Huh…”

…

Danny, learning about Ghost Speak and how humans can’t understand it: hmm.

Danny, learning that ghosts greet each other and bond by fighting: hmmm.

Edit: I have posted several tweets from the manga (some have translations too) and of course they aren't much but hopefully they're enough for you 🙏🏼

Casual reminder that Zeke was unsmiling in the Jaeger family photograph that commemorated them all and froze them all together, Zeke was unsmiling in the image that Grisha clung onto and studied for years to come while within the Walls.

Why are top!vi truthers starting to try and act like they're in the minority and being attacked as if 99% of vi content isn't centered around her topping...

Like your stance is the fandoms standard what's the issue exactly..?

There is no sociocultural cure-all for having a habit of sticking your nose in other people's business and getting shocked and upset at what you find. Whatever you imagine about the people around you is strictly a you problem, and they haven't shoved your face in it if you were the one who got nosy.

It is incredibly isolating to navigate through fandom as an aromantic person. Aro experiences are so varied, and there is no definite aro experience that encapsulates the alienation that fandom spaces cause for certain people.

Fandom is mostly built and structured on shipping. And if not, the blorbofication of characters, which tends to go down the shipping pipeline; where does that leave the romance repulsed aro person who genuinely does not want to see any form of shipping? Platonic dynamics, right?

Yeah, sure. But by platonic dynamics, it's only "best friends" or "family" right? Where does that leave the aro folks with undefined labels? No, qprs aren't a get-out-of-jail card.

And qprs- they have no rules or standards set upon them by society, not even having a clear definition for what it is, because not all qprs are the same. Yet, for some reason, it ended up becoming the "nonbinary" option to a lot of people- not romantic or "regular" platonic? Qpr it is, right?

But where does that leave the aro folk who don't want a qpr? Who don't wish to see characters depicted in pairs or trios or so forth- who embrace the lack of a partner?

And these concepts presented; when aro folk talk about them, do you care? And if you do, do you understand? Do you try to?

If you aren't aro, but wish to be supportive, are you a genuine ally? Do you raise the concerns of aro folk you share the space with?

Or do you take a look at these concepts- and decide you understand them "well" enough? Do you decide to speak for aro folks instead?

Do you depict relationships outside of romance because you believe in the importance of platonic relationships? Will you accept the fact that not all platonic interactions will be familial or "best friends"?

Can you accept depictions of qprs outside of "more than friends, less than lovers"? Are you willing to accept it is not just "best friends" or "romance lite"? Will you accept that nothing is inherently romantic- and characters in a qpr may fall under your standards of lovers?

Can you resist the urge to put every character in a pair or trio or group? Are you comfortable with the notion of characters finding more joy in being by themselves, outside of all those lenses you see them in?

It's good if you can.

And if you can't, at the very least, do you understand why some aro folk in your space are upset? Embittered by your favorite ships? Starving for representation?

Did you depict these characters with these concepts with the knowledge that aromanticism is fluid?

So wait, Frank helped Julie out in the fantasy AU? What or who was Julie running from? If its a spoiler, you don't need to mention it.

oh yeah i imagine that they were friends while Julie was still ~Princess Juliette~ and when Julie decided to run away from her royal life & home, she went to Frank on her way out in the hopes that he'd help her

I’ve got a Nahiri the Unforgiven & control Ghostly Prison. If I use Nahiri’s +1, could that creature’s controller try to attack me & fail to pay the Prison tax, and not attack anyone if there are other players still in the game (assuming there’s no cost in attacking them)?

Once again we come to the classic battle between attacking requirements (i.e. Nahiri's +1) and attacking restrictions (i.e. Ghostly Prison).

Whenever a player declares attackers, they must fulfill the maximum number of requirements possible while not violating any restrictions. (Note that a player is never forced to pay to attack with something like Ghostly Prison in play). If an attack is declared that doesn't do, then it's an illegal declaration and a legal attack must be declared instead.

In this particular scenario, the target creature is required to attack a player, and it can't attack you unless its controller pays 2 mana. If the option to attack another player without paying a cost exists, then choosing to not attack with that creature isn't meeting the maximum possible number of requirements. The only way they could not attack at all is if every opponent had a Ghostly Prison-style effect. So they need to attack someone. That someone can be you if they want to (and can) pay the 2 mana.

I’ve finally finished P3R!

So now of course I must write paragraphs abt how much I loved it. Spoilers below the cut!

I can say without any hesitation or doubt that P3R is by far the best game I’ve ever played in my life.

They truly did such a wonderful job with remaking this game, so much so that it really makes me look forward to the possibility of more persona-remakes in the future. I’m so thankful that they stayed true to the original story, but improved where it was necessary. I’m blown away by every detail they put into this game, and how they managed to make even the menu screens absolutely beautiful.

I’ve always tended to get a bit sappy/emotional about games I really like, but I genuinely do believe that the persona franchise, specifically p3 and p4, have changed me as a person. They’ve effected me emotionally, and helped me navigate the meaning of my own life. I got invested within the persona franchise at a very young age (I think I was in the 5th grade lmfao 😭), and it was the first game series I really fell in love with — and that was only through watching playthroughs on YouTube at the time. Looking back on it, I think that it’s what really sparked my passion for video games, and also game development in general.

I started getting back into the persona franchise about 1 and a half, maybeeee 2 years ago, and being able to reconnect with the games and fall in love with them all over again has been such a crazy cool experience. Playing P3R after playing the original p3 was such a joy, and I can confidently say it emotionally impacted me just as much as the original did, if not more.

It’s not often I feel the urge to replay a game right after I finish it, usually I have to give it a break for a bit, but I’ve already started my New Game+ run of P3R and I’m not feeling even remotely burnt out, which I think is another example of how much I absolutely adore this game.

AAANYWAYS if you’ve read this far hi!! Rambling and getting overly emotional about video games is my one and only talent fr so thanks for listening 🫶
