Hawkeye, the only reason you have such trouble is because of your own personal skill. K2323 and Orpheus have the amount of strength they have because they've grown to be good at roleplaying. Look at me. I've grown from working with four merc characters plotting to take over an empire from the inside, to having an empire that has a megalith outside of the dimensional plane, advanced technology and highly advanced magic, that was only denied New Dragon Moon because they had never seen the Strange Matter used against them, and thus had no way of containing/defeating it with what they had available to use.
As is the same in every other rp out there, if you want to beat someone, you have to be able to. Find some way to defeat them, Hawkeye. Even you have the ability to do that.
