Re: [spoon-discuss] Re: [Spoon-business] Things that would chill you to the Grid


Being Meta-Frozen functions identically to being Proto-Frozen, with the following additions:

How about preventing Players from doing any grid actions if they're in a Meta-Frozen area?

Hmm, no. First, it would make you stuck, and being able to do nothing and being stuck there wouldn't be that great. Next, the idea was the first one makes objects be unable to enter and stop, and the second do the same for energy as well. And regarding fire and explosions, the energy is just suppressed. I could have it diverted to a random adjacent location if you wish. Well, suppressed by the twisted physics, and it's darn cold.

If the energy is diverted/suppressed, shouldn't it affect the player as well?

Because it acts on anything entering the area, not things moving from it or whatever. And the explosion suppression is increasing the required activation energy for the reaction. Like wood will normally spontaneously combust at a certain temperature, say 200 C (I'm making something up), but in a Meta-Frozen area, it would take 400 C. KEMOSABE's can get up to the equivilant of that 400 C regardless, and the physics of the place cause that explosion to slip right out of the area.

If you don't like it, I can have bombs explode Cans break open. I just imagined the place as a sort of calm for anything inside.
