He can, but only due to the fact that he is just that ridiculously powerful. There are Third Circles more optimised to battle than he is.Nightblade said:
What makes you think there's no motonic structure?NSMS said:
I'm pretty sure we've got some kind of mysterious force that unites all things, comes in a variety of forms, is the source of all life and yet carries the potential for vast destruction, can be used to power wondrous engines, and even fuels our very thoughts and actions.Exalted 2E said:
The fact Lark has repeatedly said Earth Beta doesn't have any motonic structure right now.Revlid said:
Golden Lark flat out stated there wasn't. It's why Taylor isn't respiring essence normally- there is none around to respire.Revlid said:
No, he said that there is insufficient mote saturation for essence respiration, which is a different thing entirely.Zefferen said:

And can we stop this now, before it devolves into another argument? Please?Golden Lark said:
Huh. My mistake then.NSMS said:
The /wrists joke I made in the Fiend thread was a response to the fact that I just so happened to more or less do perfectly the opposite of all your suggestions in you setting crossover convention posts. I then theorized on IRC that if you read this story and this whole thread that you would explode.Revlid said:
No, it's just a different writing philosophy than mine. When doing crossovers, I tend toward the idea that basic tenets of interacting settings should be as compatible as possible, such that analogous setting conceits are fused. This lets me focus more on how the characters or capabilities of the different settings would interact, rather than dealing with the basic mechanics of those settings as important things that the characters need to sort out or interact with - but means I can't generally focus on the basic mechanics of those settings as important things that the characters need to sort out or interact with, and can lead to more extensive alterations of each setting than might otherwise be found.Golden Lark said:

Sorry, logic, I was not a devoted fan!
Anyway.
It is possible that most people expected that the place will be assaulted by Uber and Leet.
The MAVVG probably did, and was trying to get harmed/victimized in order to be legitimized.
Glory Girl might not, because she was never depicted as particularly caring for the details nor particularly sharp, (or she was lying and wanted to see a showdown between Lightshow and Uber).
Lightshow didn't (nobody told her what the protected event was).
Kid Win did and want his own recording, aside from any that Uber and Leet livestreamed themselves.
. . .
Anyone else?
The contract was supposedly pitched to New Wave by 'a friend' of Glory Girl's mother. While it's possible Glory Girl is too ditzy to expect the event to be attacked, Glory Girl's mother, Brandish, really should expect it. She's an experienced cape, manages a team of capes, and used to be a criminal lawyer. So she's no dummy.Grosstoad said:
This I totally agree with. I do think that Taylor social-fu into a DDR dance off would be epic (and totally derail the Mothers against violent video games as 'bad on society'!)Satori said:
Nah, it would still offer them a platform as DDR isn't violent.arthurh3535 said:
No, but I really, really, really want Taylor to no-sell the Wombo Combo now.Ridiculously Average Guy said:
They could get cults pretty easily, at least on the small scale, if Taylor learns in advance how that works.Robotninja said:
I bet they would start acting differently, too. To get a larger fanbase. They cannot use brute force, or they get smashed. So they have to use cunning to appeal to humans. A 1st circles idea of what humans like and want is bound to be hilarious.Mutton said:
