thanks for clearing it up completely Draxas. My science book doesn't cover all that stuff so well as you. *curses the things stuck in armor as well as all the electricity flying around not to mention the F and Cl in the water* Ranger runs over to Niff and takes his bow and arrows to wreck havock.

What about salt water? We haven't come to anything about electricity in science yet, so yah.

Well, Niff, salt water is an excellent conductor for the reasons stated above. Regular table salt has the chemical structure NaCl (Sodium Chloride), and every other salt (by definition) simply replaces the Na, the Cl, or both, with different atoms: another metal in place of the Na, and another halogen (The class of compounds Cl belongs to; they are highly reactive and all carry a -1 charge. The group includes F, Cl, Br, and I.) in place of the Cl.
Basically, when salt is dissolved in water, the structure NaCl (which is stable as a solid, with 0 charge) dissociates into its component ions, Na+ and Cl-. These ions are the things responsible for conducting electricity.
So yeah, salt water is possibly even more conductive than tap water, depending on the concentration of salt.

*now has many things sticking out of armor*
Ranger runs back towards clothing area and starts to look for more warm clothes. He picks some out and goes into the dressing room seeking shelter from the other combatants. Changes into new warmer armor.
OOC: If I get interrupted changing I will go extremely devil on you...

*Realizes he is half naked in a freezing cold store*
Ranger runs back in and changes into his warm clothes and comes back out with the bow and arrows. Chasing niff through the store once again aiming at his legs Ranger fires wild arrows all over hitting other things.
*Motor oil is hit with wild arrow* *N3B's Gamecube is hit with wild arrow* *Raven's XBOX is hit with wild arrow but is unnaffected due to how hard it is to destroy the blasted things* *Niff is grazed at his heel by wild arrow*
