Event wrap-up and updating the FAQ

[cosmods]

 Gena here again! Just wanted to point everyone to the battle/wrap-up on the last event, which is right over here!  
I will be tagging it once I get back from work later today, and I'll continue with the threads above it as well.  I apologize for the delays on this event, a lot of it was due bad planning on my part. I'm going to be more careful with how the next one is set up!

Also, I've been wanting to update the FAQ, but before I did, I wanted to see if anybody had any big questions that aren't on the list yet. As an example, I've seen some occasional confusion about whether a Gem Weapon counts as one of the earned powers, or if it's a freebie! (For the record, it is an earned power!) Of course, you can always ask the mods privately if you have any questions. I just figured it'd be good to ask here before any new edits were made.

Pulling items out of nowhere would be a Hammerspace power! As an example, Pinkie Pie could always pull her stuff out of thin air in MLP, but once she got here it became a Gem power! It's an ability, even if it's just because of the cartoon setting she comes from.

As for the durability, I think that'd be a little more wishy-washy? It'd be a case-by-case issue, I'd say. Some characters are naturally stronger than others physically! Whether through their own fitness or species advantages, whatever.

And since we have that thing where "characters that didn't bleed before still don't have to bleed when they're hurt", a cartoony character probably WOULDN'T sustain a horrible, realistic wound if they got injured. But I also don't think they would be able to get hit in the head by an anvil without poofing. They can sustain injuries stylistically, but if it would totally kill a normal person, I think it's fair for them to have the same limitation. Durability to that level should be a power!

I might have to ask more about this, though! I don't think that issue has come up specifically yet.
