After seeing the Defiance maneuver like so to the ground, I had already raised my MMP-80. The Dom Stratus dropped to the ground, firing a powerful quick burn to slow the decent of the suit enough to where I cut my thrusters, and the suit had hardly had ground contact once the hoverjets kicked back into their original purpose. As the Defiance rushed forwards towards the Stratus, I spun it 45 degrees counter clockwise, and brought the MMP-80 up with the right arm. I flick a switch as the heat saber comes to power, and I squeeze off a slightly extended burst from the MMP-80 towards the Defiance.
Letting the MMP-80 rounds fly past the left side of himself, he leveled the Bazooka onto the targetted Dom, and fired off another Bazooka round. |

I decide to continue fire on the Defiance as it swings to its right. Keeping the steady fire, I quickly bring the arm around to the front of the Stratus as I turn it to the left slightly, bringing the right arm around faster to make up for the possible slower speed of the arm coming around, and thus reassuring that the continuous stream would be lead from behind the Defiance's position to in front of it, assuring me that I may draw an accurate bead on him from the burst. The MMP-80 runs dry as the clip ejects, and I see the Defiance pull up its bazooka to fire another round, and I begin to replace the heat saber on the left back storage rack. As the bazooka round draws near, I pull back and to the right on the controls, firing off more rounds from the machine cannons and avenger vulcans, streaming it across the travel path of the bazooka round and then towards the Defiance

But when the Dom fired onto the incoming Bazooka round, Libra had given the round plenty of time to get close, and therefore, when the shots hit the bazooka round, it would detonate, sending shrapnel hard against the Dom.
A few little bits of harmless metal hit against the body of the Defiance, which only did a few scratches to the paint work, but the damage which would be inflicted onto the Dom would be high."You appear to be struggerling alot, Libra." Steel said. "So much so, you are already losing this battle." |

Steel just increased the speed of his travel, keeping ahead of the fire... and then fired the bazooka as shown in the previous move.
But when the Dom fired onto the incoming Bazooka round, Libra had given the round plenty of time to get close, and therefore, when the shots hit the bazooka round, it would detonate, sending shrapnel hard against the Dom.

Steel said. "So much so, you are already losing this battle." OOC: Given the size of the bazooka round and the speed of the Dom Stratus, considering the round was detonated by shell fire before the timed detonation and the strafing move during the firing, it would be safe to assume the immediate explosion would have been no more than about 50 feet or so, which the Dom Stratus had easily cleared while starting to fire on the bazooka round. IC: The shrapnel is heard making a slight "plinking" sound off of the Dom Stratus's armor. The Dom Stratus continues moving, as I push forward on one of the controls to bring the Dom Stratus into an arc that would . The left arm reaches across the right skirt and takes one of the MMP-80 rounds off, loading it back into the gun and advancing a round. I straighten out my suit's flight path as I move the MMP-80 into the left hand of my suit, pressing down on the accelerator pedal and beginning to slowly accelerate even more towards the Defiance."Struggling? Nah. Trying? Slightly. Scared? Nah, that would be your job, when you choose to be." |

That can mean a number of things. Basically, unless you stated you started your Dom moving, you'd be standing still. You also let it come near you before actually getting at it, not to mention the time it would take to place the heat saber back would be nearly the amount of time it was needed for the shell to hit it's target. |

OOC: Sorry to interrupt, but that's like saying putting a car in Drive and then pushing down the accelerator won't make the car move unless you said it moved.

We all know that MS arn't cars, and pulling on the controls in such a fashion could be to move the arms instead, or weapons, do you get the idea now? |

OOC: Neither did anyone say it is NOT moving, and since no one, not even you, called him out the Dom standing still, nor did your IC post even take advantage of this assumption, it is more than safe to assume that when pulling on the controls, he is moving. Besides, what's to say that the controls he pulled don't control lateral or forward movement anyways? We've seen them pull the controls on MS for use of thrust, acceleration, or steering. It's not like we have completely figured out what those controls do anyways, other than mostly speculation and fantasy of a bunch of fans.

OOC: Steel, look at it realistically. If I pulled back and to the right, what would I do? Swing one arm up and to the right? Twist my torso to the right and arch the back of my MS backwards, leaving my back and rear of the head exposed, being that you were traveling towards my left from the distance? Keep in mind I'd be firing my machine cannons and avenger vulcans in the air, about 90+ degrees off of where the bazooka shell would be coming from. Be realistic, would I just stand there and let you shoot me with an explosive bazooka round, knowing that I'd be seriously screwed taking that direct of a shot?

OOC: I don't know if you have noticed in Gundam, but doing stuff like that with the controls can do a number of things like I have already pointed out.
The fact remains, you did NOT state you were moving. Turning your torso and moving the arms is a very possible thing which could happen. Not to mention, that even if you did move, you wouldn't be able to get out of the blast area quick enough. Sure a Dom may move fast, but even a Dom can't escape an explosion that close.
The time it would take to put the Heat Saber away would be plenty for the round to get very close. You even said yourself that the Bazooka round neared close. This means that when you pull on the controls and open fire, it'd be half a second away or so from hitting you.
We are not at an exceedingly long distance either, we are well within range for weaponry such as Bazookas. You were also at a complete stand still before you started moving, all that you did was turn, nothing less and nothing more.

OOC:
Here's some final words on the subject, directed to all of you:
SHUT UP!
Steel, stop being a stubborn idiot. Libra, stop arguing a flawed point.
IF Libra did not specify he moved, he did not. If he did not specify HOW he moved, then he did NOT move. You CANNOT claim an action that was not specifically stated in your post. If you moved the levers, you moved th levers, big whoop. If it said nothing about moving the suit, the suit did NOT move.
However, Steel, Libra DID say he moved. Twice in fact he made reference to the fact that he was in motion in his last post. As for the post in question, what does it matter? He destroyed the bazooka shell, he took damage. Therefore, since you launched no additional attacks, this entire God damn arguement is invalid and pointless.
So, if the two of you would kindly move on so I don't have to hear anymore about this, that would be swell.
Good day.

In which I'll wait for Steel to make his move, then.

Alright, Steel, you have 3 days to post a reply, being that your last post was on Sept. 23rd, and you are obviously not posting anywhere else. Your three days begin the day that you post after the 23rd, as to not catch you in a forced forfiet from being away from the internet for about a week. I know you've been on AIM since then, but I won't hold that against you being that it could be your dial-up service, and you could be signing on to do school work.

OOC: Sorry for not being on, but I hadn't come to the MSPB, as I had other things to get done.
I'll get to a move ASAP. Been partially bombarded with work.
You could of also reminded me over AIM....

Meanwhile, the Defiance's left hand reaches down to the hip, and the Beam Rifle rack pops out, with the Beam Rifle sliding into the hand's grasp.
The left arm then raised with the beam rifle, pointing towards the Dom."You won't prove to be much of a threat soon, at this rate." Steel remarked, taunting Libra intentionally. |
