I'm going to talk about the time I met a literate powerplayer.
So I was in a private map (I mean it's public, but it was made by someone and didn't come with the game) as my character Oxygen, a member of one of my original species called Elementals (cause I'm so original with species names *sarcasm*).
Anyways, they are basically spirits/minor gods that control a certain chemical element.
So somehow Oxygen ends up in a fight with this lab test. I don't remember out exact posts, but it went something like this:
Lab Test: The fae growled at Oxygen, baring her sharp teeth. "You're going down!" She hissed. She lunged at Oxygen and bit into her leg, ripping off her flesh. The fae licked the red blood from her lips, savoring the taste.
Oxygen: Umm, that was kind of powerplay. Also she doesn't have blood, whatever you ripped off would turn into oxygen gas.))
Lab Test: Whatever. Just RP))
Oxygen: Oxygen clenched her teeth in pain, watching as her ripped flesh dissolved into air. "Fine. Have it your way." she said, beginning to smile. Oxygen's pelt went up in flame, she laughed, "I warn you, this may sting a little." she said. Oxygen began to use her powers to attempt to ignite the wolf in flame.
Lab Test: The wolf caught fire and laughed. "Fire does not harm me!" the fae said. She leapt towards Oxygen, slashing her claws over the other female's face.
Oxygen: Oxygen yowled in pain and jumped backwards. "Fine. No fire. Too bad, death by burning is really the most elegant way to die in my opinion. But I have other tricks." she said. "How do you feel about poison?" Oxygen began to manipulate the air in the wolves lungs, she wanted to force all the nitrogen from them and replace it with pure oxygen gas. Too much oxygen is poisonous.
Lab Test: The fae smiled. "Poison cannot harm me!" she said. The test lunged at Oxygen, leaping onto her back and knocking her over. "Not so high and mighty after all?" said the she-wolf.
Oxygen: "Stupid dog!" said Oxygen, "You have no idea who you're dealing with!" Oxygen began to try and do the opposite of what she did before. She began to try and force all gas from the wolf's lungs, in an attempt to suffocate her.
Lab Test: "Nice try, I don't need to breathe." said the wolf, "Being tested on sure has it's advantages!" The wolf smiled as she pinned Oxygen down. "I'm gonna enjoy this." she said, preparing for the kill.
Oxygen: Oxygen laughed, "Petty animal!" she said. Oxygen began to manipulate the atmosphere, trying to force the full weight of it down on the wolf, and to remove all air from the wolf's body. If she succeeded the lab test would be crushed like a pancake. All her blood vessels and organs would collapse, as would every cell in the wolf's body.
Lab Test: "I'm too strong for that!" said the wolf, "Why on earth would you think something as light as air could hurt me? I'm not just a stupid animal, I'm stronger than your average wolf. And you are going to die!"
Oxygen: You realize your last few posts are powerplay right? You can't just scratch or pin me like that. Also, I've been responding to your attacks and you haven't even been hurt at all by mine. I don't know if that would be called powerplay or not but still.))
Lab Test: It's not powerplay because she's immune to all those things.))
Oxygen: Umm...she's immune to being crushed? I wasn't aware she was a cockroach.))
Lab Test: Yeah, cause she's been tested on.))
Oxygen: It's she has the typical biology of a normal animal, with cells and such, having the weight of 25% of the earth's atmosphere placed upon her would most certainly kill her.)
Lab Test: But she doesn't have normal biology. She's a lab test.))
Oxygen: Umm...so what kind of biology does she have?))
Lab Test: IDK, let's just get on with the RP.))
Oxygen: Not if your gonna powerplay killing me next. Goodbye.))
And then I disconnected.
So yeah, not all powerplayers are illiterates.
