"You know that bastard wears a necklace of rings he's taken off Lanterns he's killed, yeah?"
Is that something from canon? It really seems more like something Atrocitus would do than Sinestro from how I've normally seen them characterized.

I hope that Paul's Lord of Chaotic Order has gotten his condition under control.

I'm sure he's up to his waist in tiny orange pocket kittens by now.

Constantine: Where do the keep coming from!
Tiny Floating Fluffy Abomination: Mew?

What bugs me is how unpopular the whole "putting a ring inside of you" thing is. Place a ring somewhere around a bone that, if the ring happens to lose power, it won't immediately cause internal damage.

Most people don't wear the rings 24/7. There was the entire arc about it after Paul was de-powered in the bathroom. The JL, including Guy, was worried about him deciding to never take it off. Plus, it's apparently really weird/uncomfortable to have the environmental shield deal with bodily waste. Something which, aparently, can't be turned off.

Paul's at the point where it really doesn't matter if he's connected to the ring or not. His remote manipulation is good enough that he can call his ring from almost anywhere. Should that fail, I'm pretty sure he could merge with the Opidian even without his ring.
 
PS: The ring energy pulses are a HIGH skill ranged attack, making a construct weapon using the ring AI is a low skill in comparison...
Not that high skill IIRC; they require a mental state that OL finds difficult. OL doesn't like destroying things, he likes grabbing and analyzing so he has trouble using them since orange rings are all about want.

Mr "Destruction Is Holy" Kalmin the Weaponer will probably be able to spam them like crazy I suspect.

Sinestro never appeared in Young Justice, but his DCAU self did in fact have a loop of over a dozen GL rings prior to picking a fight with Lantern Stewart.

Last I knew, and I could be wrong, you have to actually touch the ring to the lantern to recharge it as well. Using whatever emotion to open your body, charge it, and then replace and close your body might be both difficult and disturbing. Plus, if you run completely out of power...then what?

low skill armaments (like most ranged weaponry),
Which ones are the low skill ones? Becoming a sharpshooter takes years of training, and something like a longbow? Well we have a resident Englishman to explain its place. To the point, even though a toddler can kill with a gun ease of use does not equal effort of mastery.
 
Its that phasing? Ragnar is way more talented than Paul when he started, he just has a narrow focus caused by his cultural expectations and personal focus on SKILL.

Pretty sure you can fix his deficiencies by teaching him magic, he seems to have a low opinion about low skill armaments (like most ranged weaponry), so his personal tastes in regards to skill would be sufficiently supplied if he learns to quick cast offensive magic. I guess Paul will be able to see this and zero in on the cause...

If Paul was burning paper money because of his personal distaste, then Ragnar personal distaste of low skill ranged weapons will probably cause a similar results IE they will be extremely weak or he won't be capable of using them.

Basically, Ragnar was facing exactly the situation he signed up for: one on one combat against an equal opponent whose defeat and death measurably improves the universe. Therefore, he had every motivation to do whatever it takes to win.

The Orange Ring works on desire. Against Gotham criminals they have to take in alive, he'd struggle. But here and now? If he wanted hard enough to ambush his opponent from below and behind while they're distracted, then multiple constructs and phasing he gets.

Ragnar thought being a Green Lantern would entail glorious military service in space. Turns out that's exactly what the Orange Corp is going to give him.
 
No, it's typically described as being a beam of light connecting them. And Grayven's whole Corps recharged from the OCPB at once.
Went and checked some of my old lantern books, and its inconclusive. In some he merely holds the ring up into the green light, in others he clearly presses the ring to the lantern. Either way, the one shared event is that the light has to touch the ring, might be hard to do if the ring is within you.,
 
That's what laxitives are for.
Though I get the joke, I don't think that will help you remove a ring wrapped around a bone.

Plus, if you're a constrictor, that little ring is going to get pulled up in there....annnd that's not good for your health. Properly shaped things with flared bases are my recommendation.
 
Maybe he has a bit of Constantine in him after all. Somewhere deep, deep down past that thick skull.

I hope that Paul's Lord of Chaotic Order has gotten his condition under control.
I was going to say something about Orderly Chaos being better, but then i realised that Chaotic Order fits Constantine way better.

Also, I still never understood why having more than one ring is considered inefficient. It effectively doubles the amount of charge you can have with no apparent drawbacks.
I think that there is a rib you have that, if broken inward, drives itself into your heart; do you think that that would be a good place to keep it?

I think that they did that when MoM needed to recharge her ring without losing the ability to form constructs.
 
The fact that the Justice League nearly fell apart from OL's rant at them shows that it really was they who fucked up.

I think that was just Guy being hyperbolic. It sounds like Zoat is going with the interlude that someone posted around the relevant arc, the one which ended with Batman saying "That's enough, this isn't a court martial, go back to your families and think about this, we'll re-assemble later."

It still bugs me that power rings are worn on an extremity. Having it be a headband (for those species with heads) makes way more sense. The rings self-adjust to fit the wearer so there is literally no reason you couldn't wear it that way.

it actually makes sense- im pretty sure most lanterns would prefer being disarmed, or in this case, unhanded, to loosing their head in combat...

If the only way to disarm you is to behead you, then that means that you only have one weakpoint, instead of two.

Something which, aparently, can't be turned off.
That's kind of odd, actually. You'd think that you'd be able to disable that function.
Actually, the fact that Power-Rings can only be turned off by removing them is kind of weird too.
You'd think that they'd have a standby mode or something.

Do you have a link to that? I can't remember reading that at all, and when I did a reread through last month, it wasn't in the chapters.
 
@Mr Zoat, I know WTR is a hobby project and you're making a living with a paying job. How do you maintain your pace?

This isn't just breathlessly marveling at your prolificness; it's a serious question. I've been trying to write on a daily basis for NaNoWriMo and while I'm pretty happy with the content itself I'm only putting out less than half as many words per day as you are when I need to be equaling your pace if I'm going to finish in time.
 
There's a way to make threadmarks that contain extra information (like omakes), but aren't actually shown in the normal reader mode. Might be worth it to go through and tag all of said omakes.
