I won't claim to be any kind of expert, but as far as I can tell sociopathy involves a lack of empathy and an inability to connect to other people, leading to viewing others as worth less. Psychopathy involves that, plus playing by one person's rules: your own. More on psychopathy here.ntwayneK said:

Sorry, don't know much about PTSD so I'm Sorry. But as someone that went Crazy (for example I thought being able to bend thin metals spoons to be the ability to access adrenaline based super strength) you just don't go crazy. I had Stress from years of bullying plus the snow of '10 and trying to figure out how to help deal with the snow (had a few ideas that didn't work). Then my mind snapped and the early intervention team and my mum helped me piece it back together.Arimai said:
So being Crazy is a pretty decent excuse in my book for what she is doing.

Am I the only one who thinks that Mary being the "best in the world" isn't really the best way to measure her ability? She might have been from a HP-level world, rather than a Marvel-level world. Hell, maybe she's from a world where throwing a fireball is an impressive feat.
Also, after reading the last chapter, I think we may have been judging Mary a bit harshly. I mean, anyone who disagrees with laws against rape probably is evil. Plus, she might be from a medieval world where killing criminals is the normal thing to do. Maybe she just needs to learn a bit of moderation and compromise. Still, looks like things won't be going that way, with both of them leading armies against the other. Hell, maybe that's what Hiver had in mind. For his character to learn that planeswalkers have a lot of power, even without counting their magic, and a misunderstanding from them can destroy a whole world.

Right, you obviously missed this:CKirk said:
Besides, if someone kills somebody for their money, does it really matter if they did it because their relative is sick? They still murdered somebody. That's why I mentioned moderation. Convince her to lock people up and reform them, rather than just killing them.

I believe the land of Nirn has come up before, in this very thread even. There's some weird circumstances regarding planar mechanics around the Elder Scrolls series. Things go in, but they don't go out, if I recall correctly.Brellin said:

Edit: no, while they are mutated chameleons, they don't have the ability to change color.
Edit2: still an excellent summons.
He did not.Avalon Aurora said:
Quite a bit are needed to actually change a land though. Demons running around on it wont be enough. For a plains to change something like a volcano eruption or a forest growing over it to happen. Maybe a major earth quake could do it if the plains as on the rift zone.Avalon Aurora said:I wonder what would happen with Mary if at some point soon her claimed land in her home dimension was ruined by the demons there to the point it no longer counts as plains or counts as destroyed and she loses the land or it changes color...
The destruction of sunnydale for example would count as a land destruction.

Just because planeswalkers exist doesn't mean you should analyze ground battles in terms of MtG creature mechanics.Ahra said:
That discussion was about planeswalker-scale stuff with how Mana works... I don't think anyone's ever seriously suggested that fights between creatures on the ground aren't actually resolved with their claws/swords/whatever, but instead are based on some cosmological constant where one creature has more 'points' than another and will therefore always beat the other in a fight 100% of the time.CKirk said:
Creature-level combat mechanics are just too abstract to be 100% literally true in the sense you're claiming they are.

"You already know what I think of this." I told Robb Stark as we overlooked the future battlefield.
"You have told me plenty, yes." he responded as we watched the Lannister army in the distance maneuver across the field. Classic tactics. Archers and infantry in the middle and riders on the side.
I shook my head "I will tell you again. Fighting the Lannisters does not have a point. The more of their men that stay alive, the more are in the way of Mary's army."
"A Army we have not heard a word from." Robb answered "The Lannisters are here now. All we have heard are changes in some laws in The Stormlands."
I sighed and watched our army move around the small hill we were on. The formation of musket men and their accompanying Pikemen leading the pack. They would be center front with the swordmen to the sides of the formation to press forward in front of them when the enemy infantry get to close.
There were simply too few muskets. Two hundred muskets and the armies numbered in ten thousand. But they would be able to prove their effectiveness.
The men started to get decent with them, able to fire two shots a minute. Less than the three to four the expert British could do according to my omni tool database, but still decent.
Considering the surprise of the new weapon and their effects, they should be able to get of at least five salvos each, perhaps more depending on how much confusion the loud noises cause.
"You have powerful magic." Robb said "I have seen you control fire with your hands. Can you strike them with it?"
I looked out over the men that were about to die and I shook my head "I could. I won't. I can not hit enough for it to matter. I could summon creatures to assist, but I won't."
"You won't?" he asked, turning to me and I shook my head.
"This battle is pointless. I could have big monsters rampaging through the battlefield, but how would that help anyone? Yes, it might save some men on our side, but it will kill more on theirs. Men that could be used as a buffer between us and Mary's forces." I answered and then I sighed "You do not need my help with this. You would likely have won alone. Your men are good warriors and the muskets only tip the balance. You do not need massive monsters."
He looked at me for a moment before he slowly nodded "You have still not said were you sent that messenger."
Finding a rider willing to get on the massive raven was not easy. Getting the raven to follow his orders was a bit more tricky and required mind magic on the bird to get the raven to understand his commands.
Then we had to switch rider as the first one refused to get back on the raven after a practice flight. There were now a total of three riders on ravens, two of them were used by Robb for scouting but one I asked to borrow to send a message.
"No, I didn't." I said "He is going across the narrow sea with a message scroll to Daenerys Targaryen."
Robb turned to stare at me like I was mad "Targaryen? Are you mad!? The daughter of the mad king!?"
I nodded "Yes. As far as I know, she is sane. Well, as sane as anyone on this Plane is. And she has something we need."
"And what is that?" the King of The North asked and I smiled slightly.
"Dragons. Three of them."
"Impossible, all dragons are dead. And even if she had them, why would she help us?" Robb asked and I watched the armies line up as I answered.
"Because I promised her the Iron Throne." I said and he almost fell of his horse, his direwolf growling softly next to him.
"You did WHAT!?" he almost yelled before he glanced around "You did what?"
"Do you want it?" I asked him and he stared at me before he shook his head.
"Then what are you complaining about? If she really has dragons, she would have been able to take it anyway sooner or later. If she does not, there would not be a deal." I said and he just stared at me.
"The Targaryen ruled with a iron fist. The war to get them of the throne tore this kingdom apart." he slowly said and I shrugged.
"And?" I answered "She is not her father and she is the last one. If you are so worried about it, marry her. We need those dragons. Mary likely does not know about her yet. If she got the dragons first..." I said and then turned to him "I do not have a effective way of countering dragons. Not one I can easily implement at least."
A biplane should be able to handle dragons, but even those are not easy to build.
"I do not like it." He said and I smiled.
"You would like it even worse if they were on the other side."
A horn sounded and the Lannister army started to slowly move, their cavalry moving to start their deadly dance with the Stark cavalry, trying to get in position to flank the main force while keeping the other side from doing the same.
Robb glanced at me and nodded "Make the signal."
I raised my hand and channeled red. Thunder boomed as a bolt of lightening flew form my hand into the clear skies.
Moments late the archers started to fire.
Then the muskets started to thunder.
The dying had started.
