Yeah, six degrees is doable, but hard. Just hitting the thing isn't usually enough, shoving it is better. You seem to forget people hold long guns with BOTH HANDS to keep it steady, and they're also pressed against the shoulder for extra support. Knocking someone off balance would be a more reliable method.
Well, Kiyoshi hardly had much time to react. And, knocking him off-balance would have the same problem as hitting the gun would, at least given the position Kiyoshi was in and the fact that he's
eleven.
He's making his own bed by being an idiot about HF Shirou's logic which you seem to be aping him in.
Gee, amazing how an eleven-year-old kid tends to listen to his father's beliefs, isn't it...?
It's the same logic that in this case really doesn't apply well to the scenario.
It applies
perfectly well to this case. Lawrence jumped in there too damn quickly. Further, you are completely ignoring Kiyoshi's side of this. Lawrence just jumped in there and started shooting randomly for no apparent reason. Kiyoshi had no reason
whatsoever not to stop him.
Lawrence, with his limited knowledge at the time, acted in the method that would be most likely to prevent a future disaster. He's not going to apologize about doing something that if he hadn't done, could have resulted in the entire city being destroyed.
And Kiyoshi acted in the way that was most likely to save Connor's life. He's not about to apologise for that
either.
Well, it's not entirely IC, since Arch seems to enjoy making ridiculously OP characters and then using them to fuck up the game for anyone he doesn't like, or at least to force them to follow his intentions.
I don't mind my characters having problems, but I do mind Arch acting like he has a right to demand they act in a certain way and punish them without consequence if they don't.
...You mean like Lantz does?
Regardless of whether or not Lantz does do that, it does not mean
you should, especially not if you're doing it to prove a point or anything similar. Also, whilst Lantz's characters are quite powerful, he's not really using them to cause trouble for everyone else.
...OK. Let me point this out to you, and I want you to think about this for five seconds - When in the ever loving hell would to people with extra dimensional perception, looking like a chthuloid abomination ever be a good idea?
He doesn't look like a "cthuloid abomination", though, not to anyone in
his universe.
Walking around like that all the time is basically the stupidest thing I could ever imagine doing in a world like this because even though he might not be an entity from beyond the stars, people who don't know that and assume he is will act accordingly.
That is only true if you are aware of Lawrence's abilities, though. Connor is not and had no reason to be.
Better to look normal all the time than appear to be something you're not.
In Lawrence's universe, yes, in Connor's universe, no. In the Nexus it probably depends on who you meet....
Lawrence is blaming Connor for being an idiot about this, nearly getting both of them killed, and then walking off without a scratch and claiming he's in the right.
And Lawrence is being a hypocritical idiot.
He is the one who rushed in there brandishing a shotgun without asking questions first because he didn't consider the fact that
this is not his world. Connor had far less reason to suspect something would go wrong from him having his ability active than Lawrence did to suspect that there might be alternate explanations.
For that matter, I find it hypocracy that you can bring Satoshi to the table, an invicible superhuman who's really 2000 years old and you won't ever let be defeated, and then turn around and call Raul OP. For that matter, Elf has said he's fine so fucking drop it.
At least Satoshi is sitting in a castle and only interacting with people who want to interact with
him, rather than bullying everyone else.
Also, Lantz will let Toshi be defeated, he just won't let him be
killed. Which is perfectly within the rules of the RP.
