*sighs* Tru that if they can see and hear for me, but what if I needed a messenger to go into a base for me? If I suspected an ambush and was correct, I'd be slain! So by disabling their ability to kill or harm anything, I figued that'd be a way of disabling them...

Quote: I agree with Consis, having Illuisions seeing and hearing for you, is too powerful.
All right, so having 4 illusions that can see, hear, and speak for me is too powerful huh? Well what about being able to make as many Spamlings as one wants? Eh? Isn't THATA too powerful as well? At least my illusions can not harm ppl or anything. They're more like my robots that can go in to defuse the bomb if u know what I mean. I'd rather have one of them disappear than having my head get chopped off!

Hey man don't bring me into this.
Illusions are illusions, they shouldn't be able to think.
You(Mr. Gorman) can fly, Resurrect , you have a cool sword, an angelic reputation, and now you have 4 illusions that can hear and see for you. Consis is the illusionary master, and with this extra power you are making him seem less powerful.

Then I must apologize, Consis just seemed to me to be trying to make the illusions seem easier to be...well...dispelled in a sense of the word. Your agreeing w/him sparked an anger since you can summon as many Spamlings as you are capable of. I did not see how long they'd last, sure, a person can kill them, but if you continually mass them up over time, that gets to be just a wee bit unfair don't u think?
I will try to explain how I can "control" these illusions. They are not as "powerful" as some of you state! However, if any of you who still object to the whole illusion idea, plz post and give me an idea on what whould be fine w/you.
best regards,
Me

For The Record
RedSoxFan3, Gorman, Dingo, anyone with any future interests in using a character specializing in illusions. I shall attempt to set the record straight for the present and any future disputes concerning any and all illusion abilities.
Just as many have said here and in other roleplaying threads, any ability, if considered to be too powerful, can and should be voted out of the thread. Unbalanced gameplay is not enjoyable for anyone. Having said this, illusions are a particular kind of spell that must adhere to a strict set of guidelines in order for other players to be treated fairly. Illusions can easily turn into some of the most contraversial arguments in a thread. It all boils down to whether or not certain levels of abilities are allowed and whether or not the actual illusion is believed by the intended recipient.
An illusion can be as simple as a cantrip class of spell such as a rock being tossed to divert someone's attention. The more powerful illusions can do a number of smaller lesser spell abilities combined into one. For example:
Let's say I want to cast a low level illusion spell. I decided to cast a mirror image spell. A few duplicates appear and they can do nothing nor interact with anything physical. If I wanted to increase the power of this illusion, say give myself a link to the images then I would need to cast some extra spells to give me that ability. So, I'll cast some sort of linking spell that links my mind to their eyes. I could further enhance the image by giving it a longer duration than 5 minutes. If I wanted to do this I could cast a very high level permanency spell on the illusion. On top of that I might want the illusions to hold weapons so that when I swing they swing to. A high level spell of physical solidity would be needed.
My point is all this takes a great deal of time and a very high level caster to begin with. If I wanted such a powerful spell I would need to have roleplayed under everyone's observation in thread so that they could make sure my abilities were, in fact, earned and not instantly gained while making my own rules. Nobody likes a person who changes the rules to suit their own needs. It's not fair and no fun to play against.
I shall consider this post to be the centerpoint for illusions and their explanations. If any future disputes arise I will edit this post to suit the entire thread of players so that everyone can have an enjoyable roleplaying experience.

Can I introduce the Ultimate God of Spam? He would have control over all Spam. We could all control him equally.

I think that would cause problems and arguements over who can do what with the God. As for me, I don't like the idea of the Ultimate God of Spam.

I don't want a Ultimate God of Spam either. And gorman, confering with your god, and in fact everything we do here, is only as powerfull as we make it. As long as he doesn't share omniscience with you, then I think it's ok. So far, it seems to work fine.

I am late in posting this but I have a good reason. I have not been able to get tomy computer in two days. Right now I typing from the rec center's computer in the lounge. Iwanted all to know that in the thread I made a post assuming that Gorman and Shadow were leaving the Order Fort. It wasn't until a little later that I read through everything and realized that they had left the chaos fort. I also had that I had frozen Demios (who also happened to be at the Chaos fort). Just so all know, right now MM is at the Order fort. After I'm done with this I'll fix that post and add a new one.
Edit: I just read Shadow's last post and it kind of helps clear things up by stating that I am at the order fort.

Jake Batchelor! You know as well as I that we have all the time in the world! If you can not take some time for this thread, then y not take it from some other thread? Don't make me ressurect u! Besides, I thought u didn't agree w/suicide? Having your gnome sleeping under a gnome-eating tree sounds pretty suicidal to me!

*sigh* Even though it is April first, it's no trick. At least when I talked to Jake on Bnet, he didn't say "April Fools!" when he DID tell me.... Unless he's a little late on that, if that's the case, I'm going to hurt u Jake...slowly....and painfully.... lol
