Can any one answer this question: what is the purpose of a GM in an RP?

To provide fun and entertainment for the players, guiding them along a story.

normally you're right but according to 'crystal' a GM's purpose is to win! Win what you may ask? Why the very Rp story that they have created and are supposed to be letting other people play! She pretty much made the entire thing revolve around her player characters and fights boiled down to 'I ATTACK THE ENEMY!' only your attack does no damage and one of her characters then swoops in to save you.

So basically just- wish fulfilment on her characters by portraying everyone other than her characters as weak and useless, and her characters must save the day.

Turning everyone into red shirts.

i thought the purpose of GM'ing was to kill everyone and force them to make new characters

Basically, and it also started making people drop out. The RP was already sort of wish fulfillment because you're going around beating up bad guys with giant robots, but suddenly when you can't win any fights and everything revolves around this one persons characters it loses a lot of the fun.

I feel especially sorry for this bunch of new guys who had joined right before the shenanigans started. Those guys didn't know what they were walking into.

if i were in a mech RP, then

if stats are involved, i would probably have good stats all around, but

there would be a fatal flaw in the mech

dunno why i felt like saying this

The fatal flaw is that it is painfully weak to bananas.

Like- one hit kill as soon as it comes into contact with one.

Trip. Do you want to be in a mech RP?

Well she basically did what Trip just said, she started killing player characters left and right when they refused to bow down. She'd summon absolutely every powerful mecha she could then repeatedly send them after us, at one point sending the moon itself after us.

thankfully the mods were on our side a little and we managed to get by, but crystal's patience was growing thin. She basically skipped right to the end and summoned the grandzamboa, a galaxy sized mecha, when our largest machine was 60 meters.

Well, you're Canadian, so I would imagine it would be sort of like watching an especially Japanese anime.

Oh, wonderful.

I bet that was the final nail in the coffin, or am I too optimistic?
