Having a 14-year-old girl appearing in the male side of hot spring will bump up the age rating A LOT.
Don't do that, for the age rating's sake. XD
[What's the age rating of now? PG? XD]
About PG-13/4. If you're old enough to watch anime, then you're old enough for this. No, it won't bump up the age-rating at all, I think. There's plenty of steam and confusion to provide adequate censorship. But oh, wait, I forgot, this is a TEXT MMORPG, so it shouldn't matter at all ^^.
Right. I'm having a hard time getting caught up here. I haven't forgotten you all. I'd like to see Aya using her spped in a combat context, and am working on that.
Hmm, yes, I can see how catching up can be a problem. I'll post up a summary of day 2 on the summary/update thread later on today. Good to see you back, by the way. Sumire and Aya are quite important in terms of information gathering, after all.
You will certainly die from it within 35 meter radius in an open space. My char only got 7 meters away, so...

Year twothousandsomething?
that means my tractor is 150 decades obsolete
DEAR GOD
No, we're not in year twothousand something. Amarillo is a time-traveller from the future. Said future has been 'destroyed' by a major history shift, by the way (Sorry for doing that, but I wanted to see how Amarillo would react to that. Can easily be changed if it interferes too much with your plans, Nemoma).
By the way, I finally cooked up an explanation as to how everyone is so strangely superhuman despite being outsiders. As Reimu pointed out in my previous post, Yukari must have 'selected' the outsiders based on who would be suitable batteries for the escape plan. Yukari argues that it was merely a result of Darwinian selection, that only the strong survive in Gensokyo.
Still, it'd be nice if you could have some sort of explanation for your powers...and perhaps some sort of consequence from using it.
Alex has a pretty plausible explanation - he's been training in martial arts and ki-control from childhood.
Jeremy's power(?) is attributable to his 'drill' which amplifies the mana surge from his emotions and feelings. As a consequence, any drop in his mood can have disastrous repercussions.
Mitaka is (at the moment) a fast developer who develops fastest in dire situations due to emotional and physical stress, especially when near death. It is a culmination of the high mana demand from his contracts and a strong pressure to survive. Essentially this makes use of the game's mechanics, where any physical and mental development also increases your mana stores.
Mitaka's 'power', if you could call it one, comes at the price of his sanity and mental stability which just can't keep up with the pressure and burden of his rapid growth (which is also further damaged by the contracts). This 'power' is essentially available to all average human players who face great demands and experience hardships and overwhelming pressure to survive, i.e. it wouldn't work for superhumans as life for them is easy enough as it is.
Hiroko has some sort of dormant 'psi' power which an inner alter-ego of hers has decided to suppress to protect her (I think).
I'm not too sure about Yoh's powers at the moment, I haven't read the new additions to his profile just yet. But it seems to have strong repercussions when used.
Taihou's powers come across to me as a sort of 'dark side' potential. Some external force promises him power in exchange for his allegiance to the dark side. I can't think of a suitable analogy, really. Won't say more for fear of spoilers.
Owlbear seems to be attempting to artificially increase his own mana circuits....something that may prove rather dangerous in the long term. Archer-Shiro much?
Jan seems to have started off with a higher than average stamina level for your average human being.
Zei has a midnight lost child within him, an artifact that allows him to regenerate mana to max level at midnight every night. However remember that the Midnight Lost Child isn't an inexhaustible well of mana (if you're going by Shakugan no Shana). If you happen to run out of mana during the day, you die.
I can't think of anyone else's off the top of my head at the moment.
Everyone else seems to simply have superhuman powers (with no obvious explanation) or are still average human beings....I think...
