This's kind of unrelated to art and more related to character issues, so feel free to click out of this if you don't, like... RP with your characters... and stuff.
So, like... I RP a lot with a portion of my characters. This one, in particular ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12688461/ ) I've had for yearrrrssss like years omg it's ridic how long I've had her for, my goodness.
Anyway, like... I'm really good with combat with her. I'm good in combat using creatures in general, but she's my number one for kicking ass and taking names. And lemme tell you, I was really kicking some ass lately. But you know how there's always that one person who doesn't think you could pull something off that you're pretty damn sure you could pull off flawlessly in a fight?
Yeah? Yeah. Well that happened.
I'll give you all the scenario, and you can judge for yourselves:
Razor (that's her name - and she's around the same size as a tiger) was hiding, she sprang out of the underbrush towards an NPC with a shield and a spear, the shield not being exceptionally big. She blocked spear jabs with the bill on her head like a shield, and she ran between his legs to knock him over and shove a bunch of detachable porcupine-like spines in his thighs, crotch, and rear.
She knocked him over, and emerged behind him still running.
A larger guy with a claymore sword some distance away was in her line of running.
He saw her knock over his spear guy and so he swang for her. Keep in mind she's running very low to the ground, limbs are already bent and ready for springing into a leap, and her head was low to avoid getting a face full of crotch just prior. And so she springs off when he swings horizontally with the blade edge aimed for the side of her head, which is being held very low.
She leaps over the blade to dive at his head and chest to use it as a springboard and keep on leaping behind him and run away into the forest behind.
Now, I set this up very carefully. It's not like I would leave much margin for error. If he managed to even cut her at all, it might've grazed her ankle, cut across the front of her foot, or potentially chopped off a toe. Even the guy I was fighting agreed that my maneuver was entirely possible...
BUT THE OWNER AND CREATOR OF THIS PARTICULAR RP SETTING who sets the rules, moderates the RP, etc. etc., didn't think what I did was possible! So she stopped my opponent from finishing his post about nearly missing and told him and me that my character's leg would probably have been completely severed.
How? I don't know. But completely severed. I got away with a deep wound that was so bad that she'd never hunt again, but I still don't even find that possible. It's not physically possible to chop the leg off of an animal who's in mid-leap, leaving their legs out straight behind them and literally parallel with the blade that was being horizontally swung from one side to the other. That's. Not. Possible. You can't cut something in half unless it's aimed to intersect, and it wouldn't have. The sword was low to the ground and being swung horizontally. There's no reason a big cat-esque creature couldn't just jump over it like a goddamn jump rope.
But apparently she doesn't think so. Apparently my logic is invalid. So, as the leader of the RP, her word is law, and even though everyone else agrees with me that my maneuver was perfectly doable, my character will never be a decent, hunting, functioning member of her society ever again. And I'm hella pissed 'cause I was cheated. Real' bad. gnfjdsklmh,
