The Truly Lost Idiot wrote: i was reading through this thread when the most powerful combo of abilities hit me Basic Level Luck + Advanced Powers = Meta Luck yup i think i just reached the pinnacle and ill also get a huge headstart to the race to becoming omnipotent(if i have competition that is) and anyone who thinks that can nullify my luck some how dont cuz i can just be lucky and it would fail.ill elaborate if anyone wants me to. Then you didn't read the older replies. Advanced Powers is not really a power of its own but rather a higher level attributed to the basic power it's applied to, so there's no difference between Advanced Luck and Meta Luck since Meta Luck is the most advanced form of Luck. And as the OP said in his last reply before leaving this thread: Scorpio1999 wrote: DarkWraths wrote:

Scorpio1999 wrote: Superior Adaptation includes multiple Almighty abilities, and has the potential for plenty more. Not gonna work, sorry. Wait, so you can't gain access to Almighty abilities at all or you can through the loophole that Supreme said? Correct. You can't have any powers that give you access to almighty abilities. If you choose any that do, then you won't have access to any sub-abilities that are almighty. So choosing Luck and Advanced Powers would just give you Enhanced/Supernatural Luck, not Meta Luck.

Alright, come at me bro! I would adapt Power Anchoring, Reality Anchoring, Telekinesis Immunity and/or Psychic Immunity, with Adaptive Power-Level for my immunity(ies) to match the level of the power(s) you'd be trying to use against me. But that still doesn't give me the means to defeat you... Bah, not that I care. As long as I get to stand unharmed at the end is good enough to be considered a victory by my standards regardless of whether my opponent is defeated or not.

DYBAD wrote: The scenario here is that all 7 billions people suddenly gain the 2 powers of their choice, so statistically speaking you can be sure at least a few millions will be smart enough to nail the broken jackpot. Try to imagine what it would be like to have a few millions demi-gods around with very different morals (if any at all - human nature being selfishly amoral at its core, and immense power being extremely corrupting) and no higher authority to keep them in line.

Doesn't take a genius to realize that the situation would explode beyond imagining fairly soon, and the overwhelming majority of demi-gods would be either wiped out in the process or massively perma-crippled - not even mentioning the 99.99% of lower-tiers power users, who would have most likely been enslaved as expandble cannon fodders for the domination wars of the greater powers upstairs. Exactly. Why do you think I picked Preemptive Adaptation?

As far as I can tell, the only way to win is just not to play ^ ^; Leave all the craziness behind, find a better world impossibly far away amongst the infinite realities (preferably one with a Lawrence-like authority figure to keep things civil and flatten wannabe invaders - notably from your original world), and build your own happiness there. What logic allows one to win a game they're not playing? The only way I see would be to redefine winning as "not participating" rather than "meeting the conditions for victory." Minor nitpick aside, the idea of a utopia sounds awfully boring to me, especially a monarchical one... Personally, I'd rather stick around and enjoy the show until the very end, standing in the middle of the chaos, eating popcorn and laughing as I derive entertainment from the futility of all attempts to inflict any kind of harm to me. Only once the current planet/universe/reality is rendered uninhabited by sapient life will I venture out in search of a new one.

I don't really like sharing personal information (and what could get more personal than DNA?), especially if it's to have my powers replicated by someone I don't trust and used for their own benefit while I gain nothing.

I dont intend to hold you hostage or corrupt you, in fact you might be better than you were, all i seek is the knowledge contained within every being. How can I possibly be better than I currently am? What can your symbiotes offer me that I would value more than the near absolute safety and freedom my Preemptive Adaptation already provides me? See, I said earlier that my freedom is second only to my safety on the list of things I want to preserve and I consider your symbiotes to be a threat to it as being infected would potentially put me at the mercy of Command Inducement from their creator, which is a risk I'm not willing to take. And what do you even need all that data for anyway?

As a result i will do what is neccessary to achieve this goal by any means, i'm not looking for a fight, but i will eradicate my opposition with extreme force, if said force is rather persistent. I'm not looking for a fight either, and I don't think a neutral and passive party that only acts in self preservation such as me counts as opposition. Without mentioning that attacking someone who can adapt to everything you can throw at them before you even throw it is a huge waste of a limited amount of time, energy and resources.

So what's it going to be, you going drag this out, or submit to my design? How annoying... I guess I'll just have to keep a low profile and dispatch copies across the globe to keep you occupied until you lose interest after realizing the futility of your efforts and finally decide to leave me be.
