Why cannot we make things a bit simpler? Is there really such a necessity for a different plane for every existence?
I propose we minimize the theory dealing with PoE; it seems that having so many is unnecessary, when they can easily be compressed into few, far more comprehensible planes.
Physical
Mental
Spiritual
Temporal
For example, why is there a need for a separate plane for one's consciousness, one's subconsciousness, psionics, and one's free will?
Can these all not exist simultaneously on the Mental plane with just as much compatibility and efficiency? They're but different levels of mental processes. - Just like a page, a library, a book, and a pen do not all need their own planes, but all exist on the physical plane - these too should exist on a single plane.
Other planes can just as easily be condensed into either the Spiritual or the Physical. It seems as if "planes" has been rendered to be synonymous with "realms", which shouldn't be the case. An angel and a demon need not their own planes; they both exist, for the most part, in the Spiritual plane. Perhaps in different realms, different worlds, etc. - but both on the same plane.
Can you dig it?

You make a very good point. The planes already listed on here are as stated by Token, but as many of you know Token's view isn't the only View. I myself have a few differing views with some of his theories, but I haven't typed them up yet.

That's why I don't use planar. The concept in itself is so broad - obviously ambiguous as taken - while it's not as awesome as it used to be.

I'm a big fan of the energy based planes. The elements, Positive, Negative, Shadow. Those to me are the more useful planes in everyday fights.

I'm into melting people's brains with Theoretical Physics.
imho

And that, Laturalus....is why you fail.

You're so good with irony.  But check it, I'm waitin' on whatever's supposed to come around, if it ever will. Just holla'. |

You'd need the energy based planes, as well as the actual "location" type planes. The outer/inner planes like the Abyss, Hell, Heaven, etc. But theoretical physics ties fairly well with Planar. Planar manipulation can be fun, but people have to realize that it's all fiction, very broad, and people have ideas that differ. Lokanas and the AoA's definitions differ from mine, simply because they think they invented it, blah blah blah.

... What? Doesn't matter if people have their own opinions, Theoretical Physics is Theoretical Physics, just as Pseudo-science is Pseudo-science. I've fought against Pseudo-science fighters with Theoretical Physics too many times, just as I've fought against some (not so educated) Theoretical Physics fighters. It's just a field of combat you can learn; and, really, it's so far been proven to be the most effective at the higher levels of power fighting and shit.
You don't mess with Theoretical Physics because either you haven't tried it, or it's something you can't mold into RPing. 'Everyone has their own opinion' doesn't hold any value. :\

yeah but if you fight someone with a different oppinion on how theory works it almost always leads to an argument : /

In theoretical physics, man, there are no different ways to explain ONE theory. ONE theory may attempt to explain something in physics that we have trouble with, and another theory may explain that problem differently; however, a theory is CONSISTENT. When a theory contradicts experiment, law, or observation, it's no longer a theory. A theory is a mathematical consistency. So, no, there can't be any differing opinion about how a THEORY works. That would make NO sense. However, there are many different theories that may attempt to explain one problem, and someone's opinion on how that problem is solved and WHICH theory more accurately describes it CAN differ, but you can't get in an argument over the mechanics of ONE theory - again, that'd be retardedly senseless.
The thing about Theoretical Physics is you CAN'T argue against it; it's the most consistent system of fighting, completely unlike pseudo-science. Someone can throw something at you with one theory, and you have another theory in mind that consults and revolves around the same problem trying to be explained, it's completely legit to throw that other theory out (in a defense or attack) if it actually makes sense.
