If I had a penny for everytime someone asked about the Valravn fight instead of searching the thread I'd have a pretty stack of pennies.
Without mentioning that even when you don't know at all so that you consider the asking name in it, there is only 16 possibilities


After meeting start requirements,
Keep distance while fighting
Go allout
Don't need evolution
Did you take the horn ? personally i didn't and i choose to not go all out and it worked

The fight allows the MC to win even if he fails both power and skill check. It just means he'll get through it with 3 victory points, which will trigger help from Brianna and Val acting all butthurt how it was dishonorable etc.

Dishonourable win maybe
Literally zero fucks given about what a monster who murders defenseless people thinks is honorable.

(similar amount for Nico's opinion. Bitch, you couldn't do shit to that guy yourself, just sit down)

I think monsters give literally zero fucks to the morals values of monkeys that get angry at them cause they eat their kinds, while those same monkeys also eat others livings beings.

But if one of the monsters has honor, and one of the monkeys has to, then those two at least can communicate each other on that point, the rest is irrelevant in the both ways.

Guess the point is your definition of honor is not the same that the one that is commonly used.

Here it is, the end of the line the "i just repeat the previous argument twisting it in my way", basically saying "i'm right cause i am", sad we could not continue further.

And what do you think is the commonly used definition of honor? Personally, am under impression common definition of honor doesn't involve "murdering people who have absolutely no chance to stand up to you, while running with tail behind legs from people who are stronger than you", but perhaps am mistaken, so go ahead; elaborate.

First of all, the way you formulate your question is fallacious, but that can be not on purpose so i'l just go over it.

The (not "my" like you said, but "the") common definition of honor is : high respect or great esteem toward something, that can be toward morale, but not necessarily, in this case for example, its toward duty.


2nd like i already said, he eat peoples, livings beings that not his kind, like those peoples do when they eat other livings beings that not their kind, this point is not about murder or balance of power, he just eat animals, if a cow was better to recover his power he would eat cows and not humans, so taking it in the honor thing is just hypocrite.

And finally since he isn't suicidal, he know those "stronger than him" who chased him would kill him on sight so he couldn't talk to them even if he wanted, therefore he couldn't known if they did it by duty or not (spoiler : no), plus the fact that until then he already have contact with other superhumans and none of them have been honourable.

But he speak with the MC and he acknowledge the MC is not fighting him by thirst of power or knowledge like the previous ones, but by duty toward the title that peoples give to him (hero) even if he didn't claim it himself, and its cause he showed respect toward that that he changed the place of the fight, allowing the remaining humans to live, giving respect to the MC duty by that, despite his own interest.

So at the beginning of the fight, only Valravn show honor, the MC show it only if he fight until the end without help, cause he asked for a one vs one that not involve humans in name of the duty of protecting those humans, in the line of choices when you win thanx Brianna you break your words, by involving those you were supposed to protect for win, making this win dishonourable.

After we can think honor is superfluous, not important, less important than win or whatever else, that up to each one and it another debate, but fact is : Valravn shown honor in this fight, and if we win thanx Brianna we didn't, we can also notice that in the dead event he still speak to the MC with respect cause in the dead event we didn't involve anyone, fighting with honor until the end.

I've said what "you" think is "the" common definition (because you're not an universal arbiter on the matter, and so you can only offer your personal take on it) but that's beside the point. What about the equally common definition of honor which is "the quality of knowing and doing what is morally right", why would you entirely disregard this one?

2nd like i already said, he eat peoples, livings beings that not his kind, like those peoples do when they eat other livings beings that not their kind, this point is not about murder or balance of power, he just eat animals, if a cow was better to recover his power he would eat cows and not humans, so taking it in the honor thing is just hypocrite.
No, the hypocrisy is claiming to have higher standards than it's actually the case. People don't eat creatures they recognize cognitive enough to grasp highly abstract intellectual concepts. Val doesn't "just eat animals", he possesses enough intelligence to recognize these "animals" as someone he can have intellectual discourse with, beings which can understand and observe the concept of honor. It's disingenuous at best to present his behavior as no different from what humans do.

And finally since he isn't suicidal, he know those "stronger than him" who chased him would kill him on sight so he couldn't talk to them even if he wanted
He doesn't know it, because such thing evidently never actually happened to him (if it did then he would be dead) He merely presumes and acts like a coward on this presumption. Which is fine but acting like a coward generally doesn't fit "the common definition of honor".

and its cause he showed respect toward that that he changed the place of the fight, allowing the remaining humans to live, giving respect to the MC duty by that, despite his own interest.
That's what he claims. In practice he complains like a little bitch that the MC is getting a minor assistance which wasn't even hurting him, then he forcefully moves the fight to another place where the distraction can't reach. He isn't doing this "despite his own interest", doing it is in his own interest.

Effectively, he expects an opponent weaker than him to provide him with a fight in which he holds clear power advantage. While, like mentioned earlier he isn't willing to risk doing the same when the shoe is on the other foot and when it's his opponent who is more powerful. That's the extent of his "honor".

I'm in a pinch here, i clearly see that you don't do it on purpose and don't have bad intents but your argumentation is so full of fallacious and cheap rhetoric that its actually really hard to discuss, guess that due to the habit that peoples nowadays have to tend to not debate but to trying persuade others they are right, plus the fact that its not oral and asynchronous.

But i think i've understood your overall point of view, thanx for your time and if you didn't, i encourage you to read carefully what the characters are saying and doing several routes for seeing the variations of the scenes, somes provides differents informations and points of view.

I'm fine with "agree to disagree", although it could do without that display of condescending attitude; because, if i had to be honest, i have similar opinion on your take on this subject. Our interpretations clearly differ, let's leave it at that.

With the hopes its as i think, and not just a bad faith leaving door.

For my improvement, if you could explain to me with arguments and corrects terms, wich way i was fallacious that would help me to not doing it again, i'm pretty well informed on the subject so you can go technical for this one.

Also with the same spirit, which terms did you find condescending ? maybe my lacks in english made me use words that are insults or attacks without realizing it, the subject is pretty hard to explain even in my native language so i'm would not be surprised to had used harsh terms or misspelled somes.

(pm is fine my goal is not display)

Love and Happiness on you (and on those who read cause its free).

Boo! Are you all ready for New Years? Got some fun little questions for anyone interested:

Who do you think out of everyone we've met so far; will be the toughest fight in the future?

And my 2nd Question follows similarly; who are you guys looking forward to fighting the most, difficult or otherwise and why? This can even apply to already dead characters at their peak or matched at a higher or lower level, etc. (i.e Lvl 5 Jake vs Lvl 5 MC, Lvl3 Laurie vs Lvl 3 MC, you get the gist).


For my personal picks I obviously am all for Lvl 4 or 5 fights as long as they are equalized. My choices would be MC vs Michael at Lvl 3 (depending on his power, I just love his fighting mannerisms and determination). Lvl 5 Ella vs Lvl 5 MC (an unstoppable force vs an immovable object lol). And as a sidenote I'd love to see Deus take on a few elite H.E.R.O members just to prove me wrong on being "weak" compared to them, foresight is a fun power to watch in combat :ROFLMAO:

Considering how the update end i think the next big combat booked is MC and his team vs Cole.
I'm also hyped to discover the power of Michael, i imagine either a simple and total brutality power or in a contrary one that so subbtle and non-combat oriented that even after finding it out he gonna struggle to find application though his current way of fighting (that will be so hilarious), but i'm pretty sure his power is gonna be eitheir way nearly cheat in the end, considering who he had it from.

I often see peoples talk about Jake but i don't think he is gonna become that much powerful, after all, in a direct fight while his powers give him unconditional win against weaker opponents, he exhaust himself quick against similars opponents and is useless/dangerous for himself against stronger ones, although its indeed one of the most powerful power, its not a direct combat type one.

Idon't think MC lvl 4 gonna be for this next update, maybe lvl 3 but it would be an to high increase of the rythm if we hit lvl 4 in the same update, that will feel like a rush toward the end.

I don't think the MC is gonna stay that long with H.E.R.O, after all there not that virtuous and there importants things they still hide (If superhumans are the next stage of humanity, why Xanthe, the best scientist in the world and the best expert on the subject, stay human ?) there is definitely a thing that is at best suspicious about them and this thing probably gonna be a reason for the MC to leave.

In fact while i've appreciated the fights so far, its not what's hype me the more, i like to see how peoples finds unexpected applications of their power, in fight or not.

Ella fight gonna be hard eldritch vs eldritch, the most primal battle evolving, adapting as the battle goes on ,the risk of their minds becoming one. the two captains the wind and fire ones strong yes but if the mc can evolve the needed traits they can suck it. Alice, fuck that power is a danger at lvl 1 at lvl 5 most likely she can rip the fabric of space at her will. fuck nico alice can get the whole space power combo.
