a quick question about some of the equipment, after a rather intense encounter with a mr. punisher at the party

what, exactly, is yaoi? the fact i had a hardcore encounter where i'm not even sure what happened to me leaves me wondering if i should be concerned.


[This might not be the first time this question appears on the forums - as it's quickly deleted for being posted in the wrong topic, and then reposted to a different topic... and then deleted again.

And reposted, again, out of no small measure of spite for the head admin.]

Hello, Head Admin.

Is the definition of "yaoi" put forth in this forum thread correct, in that it refers to fictional (or, in this case, digital) homosexual acts between two men?

Is the term "yaoi" written on the weapons for Edge Punishers, then, because the purpose of this specific weapon is not to deal damage, but to use it to engage in homosexual acts with other men?

I, myself, am bisexual, so I think that makes at least half the damage I deal inherently gay. However, I'm not sure if this was the intent of the design. Am I still using the weapon within the intended scope of design by dealing damage in this manner?

Also, is there an equivalent weapon for female Edge Punishers?

I would appreciate if you could let me know. I'd like to ensure I'm playing my class correctly so long as I have this weapon equipped.

1. This post puts it well.

2. The Edge Punisher class is not limited by gender. Furthermore, the "yaoi oar" has recently gained reputation of being known for sending people to be hospital, should one be hit on the ass with it. I assume it's there for its destructive. I don't fucking know. I didn't make this game.

3-4. Irrelevant due to #2's answer.

5. If the equipment is not intended for your class, you will not be able to equip it. So don't worry about it.

I see. I hadn't been aware of the fact that this weapon exists in the reality, nor the extent of its capacity for harm.

Thank you for the thoroughness of your response. I appreciate it.


( Mithrun walking away from this interaction with the sense that Mr. Head Admin is a surprisingly helpful individual. )

To verify one additional point: what questions should be directed to Zelkova, and what questions should be directed to you or PinkPilgrim?

PinkPilgrim is best to notify for unruly behavior or forum rule breaking. Zelkova is the one you should ask about the game.

I would prefer getting no questions, but it happens, like right now. However, should there be an emergency, such as finding a game-breaking bug that may harm the structure of the game and such, I can be messaged just like any other player.

I understand. I'll keep this in mind. I have no further inquiries, then.
