Why does Paul think it's a gas weapon? It seems more likely to be an AoE field of orange overload.
Cause it started when a strong wind blew from below

Didn't that happen a while ago?
Given the number of marriages that end due to money problems (second leading cause according to some statistics), I'mma say that's stupid.You shouldn't be, violet constructs are supposed to be immune to the orange light of avarice.
unfortunate but not really unexpected, at least we got you here now to continue the story.
Technically it was an indefinite suspension till they go through the banning process.
"Type" is not a mass noun, it's straight up singular, so AFAICT the British/American grammar distinction doesn't apply. It doesn't sound wrong to the ear because of how often it's used in phrases like "many of the type are" (but that's plural because of "many") or "which type are you" (but that's plural because of "you").
Ezigrenys, because Zatanna uses American English.
Extra blank line between paragraphs.Pale violet phantasms materialise out of the air around us, intercepting a wave of the smaller mutant gnomes. Some move immediately to grapple while others dissipate around their opponents' fire breath before pulling themselves back together. Any regular gnomes who hadn't already fled are doing so now, and I can see reinforcements for the mutants heading this way.

Oh, it has appeals, they just didn't work.
Cat, no, I only had that briefly. But the other ratings, yes, a little bit. Funny, for example.Don't beat yourself about it, SV has little appeal to be honest... Heck don't tell me you are missing the cat and informative ratings?
You see? A 'like' isn't informative.
Thank you, corrected."Type" is not a mass noun, it's straight up singular, so AFAICT the British/American grammar distinction doesn't apply.

IIRC the only thing stopping QQ from having them is that there's a major XenForo update they haven't installed yet. I suspect they haven't installed it BECAUSE it's a major update and they're worried about breaking things.
Zoat said several times that he has his own specific rules for power rings in this story. As for nerfing, they're supposed to be the most powerful tools in the universe. Buff is a given. In any case, was the immunity supposed to mean they can't be destroyed or just that they can't be co-opted like green constructs?You shouldn't be, violet constructs are supposed to be immune to the orange light of avarice.
So buffing power rings and removing their weaknesses...
Bad Zoat... Bad...
Took longer than I expected to be honest
Three years? How ructious do you think I am?
The locked thread incident?
The Young Justice setting is a low powered one compared to even places like the JLU-Animated continuity.Zoat said several times that he has his own specific rules for power rings in this story.

In any case, was the immunity supposed to mean they can't be destroyed or just that they can't be co-opted like green constructs?
As we saw from the bit with the medusa mask, emotional manipulation doesn't work on someone who's enlightened.
I feel like you're missing the forest for the trees.The Young Justice setting is a low powered one compared to even places like the JLU-Animated continuity.
And yet Zoat choose to give the power rings in his story standard abilities that even in the comics "didn't exist period", "were highly limited", or "not usable in the way he has them used". On top of which we now find out he's remove one of said power rings main weakness's.
Which is just not healthy for a serious story taking place in a generally low powered setting.
*sighs*He hasn't removed any narratively significant weaknesses. What he's removed is narratively arbitrary weaknesses. Why should any color of power ring trump any other? That's not a weakness, that's just elemental rock-paper-scissors. That's boring and not very good for storytelling.
Except Zoat did take away one of your listed weaknesses, specifically this one.What would be unhealthy is if Zoat took away one of these established weaknesses. Finding clever ways around them in limited instances is good -- in fact that's one of the fundamental themes of With This Ring. It keeps weaknesses from being trump cards and adds depth to the story. (Kryptonite is an awful plot device.) But even in the face of this ingenuity there are still limitations.
Or did you forget that with real Power Rings you can't just say "Ring create X" or "Ring create Y" you have to be able to envision every single part of whatever it is you want to create a construct of.The BIGGEST weakness of a power ring is the Lantern wielding it. Characters are characters, not power sets that can talk. So the weaknesses of an individual person matter a lot more than the weaknesses of their arsenal.
The only part that this contradicts is the fact that OL enhanced his body and mind when he first came to Earth Prime. He CAN visualize the entire construct - because he changed his mind to do so. Remember, he used the ring to give himself the ability to think super fast and have a better memory. The ring, unlike a normal GL ring, also heavily influences the mind anyways - he just turned that to his advantage. When he did this, he describes only accessing the memory when using the ring. His mind is interfaced with the ring computer. This is unique to the orange rings in this. He can make knowledge from the internet/ stored in the ring, HIS. This is similar enough to canon orange rings, which were OP anyways, with one member being able to match the entire GL corps. Notice - none of the GLs do the same memory/ detailed construct trick - their ring doesn't alter their minds. Neither does Grayven, who has to communicate with Sinestro, and doesn't really use constructs. More than that, he had the Ophidian inside his head, which now allows him to actually make constructs like he does. Not only is he enlightened, but his mind was altered to be able to accommodate the Ophidian's thought processes. For all we know, this made him capable of actually processing that much greed without help. Similar happened to Hal Jordan in canon, but temporarily - he made the space station castle construct. He didn't change canon, he just detailed what it is about the orange ring that makes it able to face all the green rings. However, they still have simultaneously weaknesses to the rings in canon, just that in canon they were already OP.Or did you forget that with real Power Rings you can't just say "Ring create X" or "Ring create Y" you have to be able to envision every single part of whatever it is you want to create a construct of.
Drakul Karfang. Name's on the image link.... sup Fafnir. Sweet bling.
also; magic + power ring = awesome^2
to quote Ron Stoppable: "That would be so awesome, if it wasn't trying to kill us."
(I am assuming its Fafnir, because its the only "greed dragon" I know of in public domain, maybe DC has others...)
I don't think you're getting the level of things being talked about... Let me get you a very relevant quote from the animated series.The only part that this contradicts is the fact that OL enhanced his body and mind when he first came to Earth Prime. He CAN visualize the entire construct - because he changed his mind to do so. Remember, he used the ring to give himself the ability to think super fast and have a better memory.

However, they still have simultaneously weaknesses to the rings in canon, just that in canon they were already OP.
More than that, in the "In Praise Of Eros" side story, he recently theorizes that this ability to change his own body / mind with the ring was specific to him - as a bonus for coming from Earth Prime or something. It's not necessarily specifically an OL ability, but one unique to himself.
Aya, what happened?
Overload due to hairline crack in the ultra-warp coil. Most likely caused by last missile hit by enemy probe.
For the record, she said most likely Not totally likely.
What does that mean?
It means we're gonna be a little late to Oa.
That's okay, I like to make an entrance.
Aya, please estimate time for repairs.
Calculating. Ultra-warp ready in nine point two
Nine minutes, no problem!
Nine point two one months.
Okay Can we form a construct and replace the defective part for the ride home?
The construct would have to be an exact copy of the ultra-warp coil mechanism. And it's 56 moving parts to within a 0.8162 microns tolerance. Can either of you do that?
I make hammers.
