Keep the house from catching fire, he won't have a ladder to climb up if you keep the explosion.
Plasma based fire is nigh impossible to put out.
That statement being completely false seeing as plasma is ionized gas and could be any element.
Declare.
Do you even know what ionized means
I'll just forgo physics and not burn my house down :v:
An atom that has had one of its component electrons removed or another added thus giving it a charge. Happy?
You want I should improve the plasma-splosion?
Sure.
Just don't blow up my super house. :v:
Not one, all. Superheating of atoms that causes the elimination of charged particles, causing it to become a plasma, comprised of positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons.
Key word is 'superheated'
Everything can be doused as long as oxidizing materials are absent.

Cause the plasma in there is totally super heated isn't it?
EDIT:
plas·ma (plzm) also plasm (plzm)
n.
1.
a. The clear, yellowish fluid portion of blood, lymph, or intramuscular fluid in which cells are suspended. It differs from serum in that it contains fibrin and other soluble clotting elements.
b. Blood plasma.
2. Medicine Cell-free, sterilized blood plasma, used in transfusions.
3. Protoplasm or cytoplasm.
4. The fluid portion of milk from which the curd has been separated by coagulation; whey.
5. Physics An electrically neutral, highly ionized gas composed of ions, electrons, and neutral particles. It is a phase of matter distinct from solids, liquids, and normal gases.
That's a fucking child's toy.
Toothpick: Try dousing a fire burning on napalm.
Technically, oxygen is constantly hitting the particles of the napalm, but thinking of space and how burning objects still can exist there, I see what you mean.

That is contained in the glass/acetate (I forget which one it is), if the glass/acetate is shattered while it is on, that can fucking kill you.
That's why a lot of them use a specially coated plastic now, instead of glass. The conductivity of glass that makes it able to trace the plasma with the durability of plastic.
That "Fucking childs toy" produces plasma inside the sphere.
Look at the defenition I posted, and if you don't believe that, believe this: [url]http://www.thefreedictionary.com/plasma[/url]
Burning objects can only exist in space if there is both an oxidising and reducing agent reacting, like gunpowder.
You have no understanding of the concept.
Have you ever seen Napalm burning? You know what one of the best properties of napalm is? It can't be fucking put out. Rolling around doesn't put it out, dumping water on it only makes it worse, you have to bury what's burning with napalm in sand and dirt before it stops burning. It [i]adheres[/i] to what it burns.
Plasma is hotter.
Napalm isn't plasma. The two have no correlation chemically other than how "hot" they are.
Napalm can't be put out because it's mixed with various chemicals to prevent it. Plasma is ionized gas. The worst plasma will do to the wood is set it on fire, and them dissipate. Napalm will continue to burn due to the thickening agents in it.
Your argument is not only illogical and unfounded, but the use of false analogies makes it easy to pick apart.
The plasma would fucking incinerate it.
Telepethi, look at the defenition of plasma. READ the defenition of plasma, then stop arguing and admit defeat 'cause you are WRONG.

The Chopper is going down while the gunships jetengines bust into flame as it tumbles out of the air.
[QUOTE=Telepethi;26214023]The plasma would fucking incinerate it.[/QUOTE]
The plasma would scorch what it touches, likely catch the wood on fire, and then dissipate into the air because plasma can only be kept in an open space under special conditions like the ones in the lamp above.
It's simple physics ffs.
What you both fail to realize is that if someone has the technology to weaponize plasma, they're going to have to have the ability to keep it in the world until it does its' job. So you have to take into account the fact that it [i]isn't[/i] going to fucking going away.
That's the whole problem with plasma weaponry right now is that they can't find a way to sustain it in the world. That's what will make plasma weaponry plasma weaponry the fact that it is contained and sustained as a projectile.
Oh, so you're going to argue the technology of Simple's army for him? You really have no way of knowing how he wants his shit to work without him stating it.
"That is contained in the glass/acetate (I forget which one it is), if the glass/acetate is shattered while it is on, that can fucking kill you."
If you breathed it in, yes, but there is no way that the plasma in there is superheated, if you place your hand on the globe, after five minutes you can mabe feel a slight increase in temperature. If the plasma in there was in excess of 500 degrees celcius, you would get burnt.
I'm not arguing for his army I'm arguing for basic logic.
For plasma to be weaponized it has to be stabilized in our atmosphere. For example sustained in a projected magnetic field.
If anyone here is arguing basic logic it's not you. He could be using fucking unicorn sprinkes to stabilize the plasma for all I care, but I'm not going to tell him what he's using when it's his army.
We've gone from debating what plasma is, to how things burn in space and now weaponized plasma devices that don't exist. Give up Telepethi, your argument has no grounds and you're making an idiot of yourself.
I'm not fucking telling [i]him[/i] what he's using I don't care what he's using I'm arguing on the basis of how it would be sustained.
Calm your shit again you guys.
(Telepithy)
Just going to interject that this is a game fought with tiny 2D things doing lots of stuff that isn't possible in a real environment and plasma is just a word he chose to describe whatever shitty pseudo-sciencey bullshit guns he has, it very well could have been gauss or Tesla or leprechaun farts. There's no real grounds to get worked up over such a silly thing. It's well known to the uneducated, common working class man that plasma = hot, and that hot = fire; or in this case, purple scribbley crap.
What he did in that he blew up basically all of kommrad's units without any chance to retaliate is what we should really be drawing out into a several page argument.
You know, I'm not going to put up a fight anymore. It's not worth the the problems it's going to cause later on.
I think you're all either planning on (or are) majoring in physics or are constantly wiki-ing this shit to sound smart.
I highly doubt it's the first option.
