my vote is we roll with it

Ummmm.

I cant fully discuss PM's but Spazz did bring up issues with Bacons idea last night in that not all plots are Combat Focused, and she had massive issues with the player count with some of her non combat things.

I feel clarification would be necicery because of that, Setpeices also apply for exploration yes? Things that move the plot?

Could we maybe do what we do with

Posting limit on.

only instead.

Charecter limit on.

Switching the rule on and off during a plot seems to me like it'd just muddy the water.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

i think it'd have to be more drawn out because something like taht is too abrupt

like

Character limit in five posts.

[up][up] It is more so people know a set piece is about to happen.

I'm just wondering how it would work in practise.

What happens to the unlucky character when the posting limit is switched on? Do they just dawdle around in the background? Every time it happens, you'd have to make an excuse.

Okay, here is another thought.

In plots with a base-camp like how this one has the room-ship.

You are only allowed to have one character outside of the "base camp" at a time?

If that place is attacked, you just kinda ingnore all but ones existance?

Part of this whole thing is so that the GM doesn't have to write stuff like excuses and can focus on progressing the plot though.

Eh.

Sounds iffy. And if it's the GM's responsibility every time, it'd get very grating to have to make up fancy excuses to effectively incapacitate a slew of apparently arbitrary characters.

Have the plot summary during polls state whether 1 or 2 characters are sllowed

if you noticed how i stopped using luigi midway through siege on strifebeard base

that was mostly me being unable to juggle him along with gm-ing strifebeard but i basically threw an excuse out later

same concept applies, just make an excuse for where they were

they could've been Totally Contributing The Whole Time like trip does or off somewhere else

I've been doing what Imca's saying, rotating between Archer and Saber and keeping the other on the ship. I'm only playing both because the action's gotten on the ship.

I agree with that notion.

no one noticed when lancelot suddenly stopped helping during that gorilla side quest as well. Or that advent totally disappeared from the library group at one point.

this is one of those things where most of the time it's gotta be pointed out to people for them to notice that characters disappear.

In hindsight it seems a bit like the juggling problems came from the action creeping aboard the ship.

Causing bused characters to get un-bused.
