Maybe one or two? But then they should be specific named npcs, so I get your point.

I think it is also safe to say that Kayneth and Grenth are also on Day 2.

Ahh, you're right. I was thinking about their total power when boosted by magitech. I'll take the base stats down a level.

EDIT: Made sure to emphasize how uncommon these guys are.

So, at this point, who's actually on Day 2 and who's still on Night 1?

Also, Mil, was there anything you needed cleared up for the Colosseum post? Or have you just been busy?

Just a question.

What the public generally knows about Saber?

Noel and Co are explicitly on day 2, I know mordred is on day 2, and Team Sakura may or may not be on day 2.

Well, Ann is sleeping while Than'Sanel is doing what he can to keep a section of the mall's first floor safe from the other floors, while Sarse makes certain everyone is out.
Ann went from lewd to destructive to lazy: such a shining personality. Wouldn't have her any way, since that'd be OOC. :p

Ok it was hard to keep track of the skype discussion while on the phone at work, so it's probably best to bring the discussion about the Enforcer's aircraft carrier here.

I only saw complaints from Knick and Panda, and I'm pretty sure Panda's issue has been cleared up now, but since Knick said more people than just him had issues it would be best for them to be posted here to make sure I see them. I really like aircraft carrier idea but if a lot of you guys don't I'll trim the air superiority down.

Just a question.

What the public generally knows about Saber?

That she's the monster hunting cop with the sword that shoots laser beams and eats a lot.

She also hangs out with Law Unto Herself too, and is generally the police's liaison if they need Forest.

And she may or may not have a crazy dude who wears black armor living with her.

Also I'm going to be MIA for a few days due to Convention.

It seems a bit ridiculous, honestly. I don't like the idea of the Enforcers being so overwhelmingly powerful, it makes it basically pointless to have good-guy characters in the Nexus, since any serious issues will already be dealt with anyway. From what you're coming up with, the Nexus sounds like it is actually safer than the standard Nasuverse is....

I'm also not remotely clear why there are Vampires and Werewolves still roaming the Nexus so freely when law enforcement groups have an aircraft carrier and all this other stuff. They should be able to bomb them to oblivion without much difficulty, and at very least drive them into hiding.

And how they maintain a fucking aircraft carrier? Only major powers can afford a one to begin with.

Collateral damage? I mean, it's not like the vampires and werewolves are all neatly filed into little Vampire/Werewolf Ghettos for any interested groups to level. They're everywhere, so bombing them into oblivion to a truly meaningful degree is likely out of the question. And that's ignoring the logistics of arming all the aircraft with anti-Vampire/Werewolf armaments. That said, werewolves and vampires are hardly the only hostile supernaturals, and the carrier is still a fuck-mothering carrier. Although with the Nexus constantly pulling in more supernaturals...

It's all a giant mess, really.

Yeah, exactly. To run an aircraft carrier requires an organised and powerful military force. It's not something a bunch of amateurs can do. If they have an aircraft carrier, they are most certainly part of the government of the Nexus, and it's a rather strong and well-funded government at that. It's simply not consistent with the idea of having a government with only nominal control, or of having a society where there is very little protection from the supernatural.

There's nothing wrong with having groups that go around trying to protect people, but they should generally be under-funded and over-worked, not supremely powerful.

It seems a bit ridiculous, honestly. I don't like the idea of the Enforcers being so overwhelmingly powerful, it makes it basically pointless to have good-guy characters in the Nexus, since any serious issues will already be dealt with anyway.

Well, sure, they couldn't kill them all, but a) the existence of an aircraft carrier implies they also have a lot of other powerful weaponry (which would allow them to clear out vampire areas), because it is simply absurd to have the ability to build and maintain an aircraft carrier without the ability to produce other advanced weaponry and train a proper, well-funded police force and b) it means that vampires and werewolves have to go into hiding and avoid congregating en masse, especially in areas without civilians. As an example, look at what's happening to ISIS. The US air force can't actually wipe them out entirely, but what it can do is stop them gathering in large numbers. Further, the US is hamstrung by not wanting to send in troops, whereas there is no reason for the Enforcers to have the same issue. Air support is extremely useful to have, even when you're dealing with vampires and werewolves.

Just to be sure, what exactly is the problem with the carrier? It it the presence of the aircraft carrier (In which case, we're in the Nexus, it just pulled one in from somewhere), the massive threat that it poses (Can't really argue that), or the idea of the police/enforcers having a fighting chance against some of the stronger supernaturals that aren't explicitly immune to military weaponry?
