Teleporting or Flying?

That's a bit non sequitur of, you, isn't? I'm in front of a computer most of my waking moments because that's what I do to MAKE MY LIVING. 🙂

Being able to quickly move from place to place would make my job infinitely better, as well. I commented on this, already.

Because there's nothing like creating a thick cloud of sulfur oxide on a date. Also I think most women would rather have me hold them in my arms as I fly across ocean.

Obviously, that's not the case because I'd be a "jumper" teleporter. Have you seen Jumper? Yeah, no nightcrawler type stuff for me. I'd be closer, if you need something to compare it to, to Wraith.

Also, you have a naive view on how the world works especially when it comes to women. 😆 Additionally, you're arms would get quite tired trying to hold them up while you flew especially because you weigh 140 lbs soaking wet. Being able to fly does not include super strength, in this thread.

That's an example and if you actually think Heffy can get it up at 80+ or that he even has sex with any of those women, you've got to be kidding.

Also, Orihime is not real so you'll need to think of something more real.

Who said that you'd have to fly at speeds greater than that of a motorcycle anyway?

I do. But if you prefer flying for many many hours to go anywhere in the world, that's fine as well. By the time you fly your "date" to Venice and back (assuming you can even hold her for longer than a few minutes), I could have been there, to Paris, to Moscow, and back with my date.

There's a certain freedom to flight.

And that same "freedom" you have in flight is almost infinitely greater with teleportation including the sentimental reasons such as "wind through your arms" or "hair."

He does. There've been ex-girlfriends describing their time at the mansion, and it's pretty sick.

Years ago, scifi writer Larry Niven proposed an FTL vehicle with an "end-teleport drive." Ie, the ship didn't actually fly; it just kept teleporting itself to its own front end. This way it could "fly" as fast as it wanted w/o violating relativistic limits.

Flying. more satisfying and I just know that if I got Teleportin I'd get drunk and end up in a wall. SPLAT!

Well, then you'd have to worry about Flying while intoxicated.

I'd choose teleporting.

I mean... what if you fly too fast and crash into something, or accidentally snap your neck? Flight doesn't make you superman.

Wizards can do both.

Hmm... teleporting is more efficient, but flying is cooler! tough choice.

I'd Choose flying and be a Photographer, fly deep into craters and volcanos and take nice pictures. or record whats going on down there.

i could do so much more with teleportation

You got to bring your obscene love for Harry Potter into everything?

For all the people who prefer flying, couldn't you just teleport foot by foot rapidly in a manner similar to flying?

That would be quite taxing in my opinion, creating small jumps that have to be pin-point accurate to maintain the illusion of flying rather than just flying in one continuous motion. The problems I would face would of course be the weather and if I wanted to go higher some supply of oxygen and thermal gear would be helpful too.

My question for the teleporters would be; would teleportation stress or age you in any way? Because there will have to be some element of disorientation and stress to the body involved in zipping from one place to the next.

Why?

Because, were we to assume that teleportation would involve gathering up your particles like for example as in Star Trek then the particles could be mis-aligned slightly enough on arrival to cause some imbalances in your body. Or lets say you get distracted before you attempt a serious jump and your whole positioning is off, sending body parts going off in all directions. Pretty messy way to check out...

Why are we assuming that it works like that? Going by the OP the teleportation works like Nightcrawler's TP and the dudes from Jumper.

Well I was attempting to discuss some drawbacks to incite discussion but if thats the case so be it.

They made it look pretty simple.

Sure, if the rules worked like that, I can see how that would cause some drawbacks. Honestly, it completely depends on the rule set. srug. We could also assume that every time the flyers fly, it causes them to throw up or it causes their fingernails to fall off or some shit. Without assumed drawbacks though, TP is definitely the preferable power in my opinion.

do you agree to the people who voted Teleporting, are more likely to be impatient ?
