SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

In Response To: Re: Critique: weapons (Wail of Suicide)

I finally got around to test these (I know, it's been hectic). I think both are a marginal improvement on the current AR, but still not quite there. The B variant is both too slow, and with too great a falloff. The C variant is closer, but the projectile is too fast, and the falloff still too great. I think if the projectile shot out with a slower speed than C, but faster than B, and if the falloff wasn't as sharp as C (perhaps so that it lands further by as much as B is shorter than C), then it'd be very close. Good work!
