@Squid: Essentially

They won't exist for the sake of the plot where they have to be limited to one character

But they still exist as characters so that inbetween plots stuff can happen with them, and players can pull characters from them

They have not been stated BEFORE voting AFIAK, only after voting with stuff like.

"Okay now you cant bring any of your stuff with you"

[up][up]Ah

So its like, if we have a roster of characters in say, an rpg of sorts

We can only play one- i.e. the face, and will be the only one shown and used

Whereas the other is somewhere that's not shown or used unless specifically mentioned

i must know though

are we talking about this current plot or just in general

because i've been for doing the thing that pyro said for this plot, and leaving it up to the gm's discretion in future plots

@Imca: I'll be honest, I haven't really seen that.

But maybe this is a communications issue where people have felt like they can't ask questions prior to a plot actually being voted in.

@Squid: Well yeah. But I think a whole lot of this is just clarifying/guarding against assumptions and some poor wording.

I'm pretty sure it's always worked like that. Where is Legion and the Doctor? Back at the room, because I hate playing more than one character while a plot is going on. There aren't character limits while a plot is on, and when there is the gm must choose for themselves what will work best.

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

Yes, I do, yes, you did, don't worry about it, it's cool, and the latest I can risk staying up is midnight this time. So half an hour tops.

Fucking hate morning shifts. Just two more weeks of little old ladies balancing their bowls fucking sideways against a trash can instead of putting them in another goddamn bus tub.

Still-

@riv/duff So going by that, is 16(Liman's battlebot) considered a character of his own, or as a sort of humanoid weapon?

Pyro, you have kinda been away when it has been happening, it was about a year and a half, and two years ago respectivly.

If not a bit more.

(@riv/duff) just to give my final opinion. you're the G Ms, I'll go with what you wanna do and what keeps the plot train rolling. Cause right now it's been stalled out for a month and I don't think anyone wants to see a repeat of what happened in the last half of last year, no offense to you spazz.

Imca, the fact is that the GM is entitled to make new decisions on the fly if it would otherwise hamper their plot. Sometimes they don't adequately foresee problems and need to adjust after they're voted in. It's inconvenient, but necessary.

It's always worked like that, yes.

But I think people are searching for something that can just be codified, because they were worried about what it could possibly be.

also norm I think you typo'd

@Imca: That's fair, I was gone for a long time.

However. I was also here for both Ram's plotvoting and Duffux's plotvoting. Which is what I was basing it on, to be honest.

#448841: Sep 12th 2015 at 9:40:44 PM

These cases were right after the plot was voted in, like before it even really started.

I have little problem with unforseen events, like the corrections you did.

But ehh, I will drop this one for now since it is getting off topic.

they are absolutely within their right to do that, but they should make it clear ahead of time that they might have to do that instead of waiting until the last minute to do that if they can

What space and Bcom said that is what I meant.

@Norm:I get where you're coming from but having a totalitarian GM rule is just going to suck the fun out of the RP because no one will really agree with it. People will be focused on the fact that they're being limited rather than the experience of the plot.

That said I think people would be willing to accomdate their GM should they simply ask.

@bcom: personally i don't wanna see it stalled out this hard either, but at least it's being addressed now instead of another month down the line

@box: i'd figure the implication is that they might have to do that, just as an inherent part of being GM

@Typo: Where?

@Jam: GM consultation is indeed very important for a healthy relationship between players, but ultimately the GM should be the one with the final decision.
