also fawkes is named after guy fawkes

because he admires how he was willing to fight for what he believed in, and found it fitting

Okay... (takes a breath)

If you don't want something done to your character, don't let it happen.

Yeah, I know that's on the rules page and whatnot. But its purpose never really became apparent to me until my character found himself on the receiving end of what seemed like a mean-spirited case of god modding. I accepted, not really understanding that I could decline, and overall had a very bad time afterwards. And it's still left a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm not blaming the guy who did it. And I don't know if that rule applies in the RP. But I just needed to get that out there.

-lets out a sigh of relief-

Thanks Fox, I'll keep that in mind. I haven't been put in a situation like that yet but I'll make sure to stay aware of that rule when it does happen, because it probably will eventually.

I'm not going to point fingers, since I think I'll anger the player. They probably know who they are, though.

In other news, I'm trying to give Siris some development in the FG over a few days. I'm planning something with him.

Yes, but it might be prudent to know the circumstances. I really doubt anyone will be mad at you.

It... sort of applies in the RP, yeah. It depends. For minor things, or for in-between plot stuff, it's in full effect, but since things tend to be more structured, usually not. However, no such rule applies to the GM. If he says you've gone blind and only speak in couplets, then you're blind and speak in couplets. GM is god.

trust me

we're all wearing our big boy (or girl for the ladies (or toaster for you who do not like pronouns)) pants

if someone has offended you, or done something wrong, i'm sure they'd like to know about it

thats cool to hear Fox, about the character development for Siris, and since the stuff with the booogeyman is done I'm finally planning to roll the einst into the FG.

(sigh) Alright.

Remember that time when Chibi was having fun with Mat the sniper, doing stuff like turning Cloud into a cat person? I was having Archer shoot back, being the only person there who could. After an admittedly fun Sniper Duel that ended with Archer losing his bow, I was just having him gawk at the chaos, snugly behind cover... then Chibi decides to go for an autohit.

It's the way he did it that miffed me. He seemed to be jerkish, doing things like hitting Archer in the butt "because it's funny". And he made another post before I could articulate a response, so I just rolled with it. And turning Archer into something non-humanoid, unlike the others, also seemed to be out of spite.

I'm not blaming Chibi at all. He's Californian, and so am I - it was 2:30 AM there and we were probably both drunk on sleep. But I just need to get it out there.

Things like that, and my experience in WAOA, are why I have found it is always best to leave your action open ended.

Use words like "attempts", "Tries", or "Should".

It lets the other person work there way out of it much easier, without either of you seeming like a jackass.

I can assure you that it was absolutely not at all meant to be rude, spiteful, or anything relating to the above. It's meant to be a bit of fun. But yes, that's what that rule means. Every now and then we do things like that, just for shits and giggles, to see what everyone does with it, and if you don't feel like going along with it, just say so. Archer getting something non-humanoid was completely unrelated to anything, and just a coincidence. It wasn't meant to spite you, I guarantee it.

If he hadn't done something like that, sooner or later I would've. Or someone else.

@Imca: That's more of a fight thing, though. This was Shenanigans. Different procedure. Though yeah, if he wanted to opt out he could've just dodged.

Yeah, there was also the fact Archer managed to dodge everything.

I'm spiteful when really tired. .3.

Heh. I did have him lose his longbow, though. Which isn't really a Projection upon further reading.

All water under the bridge? (extends imaginary hand to shake)
