A few observations:
Tatsuki's in the room, so you can't Gatsuga everything, and whathisface might try using her as a shield if you go that route.
Also, if someone comes to investigate and you bean them by accident, things could get... awkward.
Thirdly, he might be bluffing in hopes you'll take the first swing, whereupon he can claim self defense. Not hugely likely given where this is happening, but just tossing it out there.
Guy goes invisible. Players vote to use a skill they're bad at to try to find him, not considering that it probably wouldn't work even if they were good at it, because of perceived shiny.
Wait, what perceived shiny? I'm pretty sure the logic is 'can't see guy, have to find him another way. Can we feel him move? Probably not. Can we hear him? Probably not. Can we sense him? Possibly. Can we attack blindly and hit him? Indeterminate chance.
Plus see quote above for further reasons against getsugas. Since he did go for her first, then the idea that he uses her as a shield to avoid our tetsugas isn't too unlikely.
I'm beginning to think TPK's quests have some curse on them that makes the voters do dumb things for no reason except for the lolz or shiny and sometimes (like this case) for absolutely no reason.
no reason? Really? I didn't vote for this but I can certainly see the reason for it.
I fucken knew it.
I even explained it right there! To be good at stealth and survive long enough to become an Arrancar, this guy had to be good at stealth! Which includes knowing how to fool sensing people!
Fuck.
INSTINCT, PEOPLE! Not CALM!
I don't remember you writing in an instinctive desire to protect our friend. Instinct to you means attack blindly at literally nothing and hope he's there? It might have worked, but I can easily come up with a dozen reasons why it might not have either.
[X] Urahara -he knows all about souls.
I am still mad. Thank you Redon for reducing effects of the stupidity.
So now we see what happens when we try to act passive. That means we either
A) Get even more passive
B) DO MORE INSTINCT, LESS DEEP THINKING
If you choose A, you choose wrong.
We had same scenario with our zanpaktou. The two layers answer was obvious but people didn't vote for it because they looked for deeper meaning like believing in our friends
All this angry bitching (from when the hiatus stopped too) is what's making me mad. We have limited options, limited information, any option we pick could either be correct or wrong for seemingly arbitrary reasons, and you're mad at us for actually trying to think about things?
You claim that
your instincts, or your idea of what ichigo's instincts are, are more valid than everybody else's and we're all idiots who think too much and make you mad?
Can't see - use other senses.
That's a perfectly valid instinct. No sight, then use either sound, feel, or the 6th magical sense.
Or attack the air. That's your instinct. That doesn't mean it's the only possible instinct, or that the other options are necessarily
passive. The idea behind this vote was targeted
preemptive attack. 'He's there, he doesn't know I know. I can attack him at once with my full strength and suprise him!'
Unless preemptive also means passive to you?
On the other hand, the fact that we've never used our spiritual sense and don't know whether it's reliable is a perfectly valid argument. Go ahead and be mad about that. But remember that similar arguments can be made about
every option presented to us.
You want real instincts? Write-in a flawless option. Dazzle us all with your perfect solution and lack of heavy thinking. I'll be waiting.
What you shouldn't do is act like you personally know best and every other person in the thread is retarded for not being you.
