Well chars can't hurt other chars badly, unless its an event written by the GM.

So' you'll be sore, maybe a bleed nose, a lot of bruises, but still good to go....

That is if the GM agrees.

Wait, What!?

Players may now only dictate their own characters actions, and will have to wait and see if any other charter they mention in their posts goes along with any actions they request in that post.

Example:

Player A's character asks Player B's to move out of their way, as their post involves them running to catch a bus.

Player B says their character doesn't move as so the two collide and as a result now Player A cannot catch the bus.

No offense.......but really?... this would make everything i already wrote in the thread invalid...

What you've written thus far is still valid, this change is from now on.

My reason is this, everyone took the time to make a character, and so only they can accurately say what they would do in certain citations, Raynolds may go an a rampage, or curl up and cry once the Admiral disciplines him, i don't know. thats not my job, I'm here to prove situations your characters can act in.

this is ROLE playing, you've chosen a part for yourself and get to act it out how you thing your role would, if someone else came on and said you did something you know your character wouldn't you'd be pissed right? Imagine if someone said Trix left someone to die in order to get a fat payoff from a corrupt official, but it fit with their post, you'd hate that right?

But Harrab, that's common sense and trust. If a player isn't willing to use those virtues, then they shouldn't be in the game.

I completely disagree with not being able to control other characters - I feel it is completely fine as long as it is done well. Then afterwards, if something is blatantly wrong, it can be politely pointed out and changed.

This new ruling will slow the game down a lot and make it a lot harder to have characters interact.

Whilst I will go with the rulings, I'm going to go ahead and say that if anyone wishes to use my character, they may do so, as long as they, as I've said, use common sense and maintain trust. Of course this is an "only if necessary" scenario, as always.

sillyboy, we've roleplayed together for a long time, and I have a feeling that you'll agree with me, at least to an extent.

I see your point, but my points above still stand, only the creator truly knows what a character will do, directing the other players makes me think you're stepping on my toes.

I am willing to relax the ruling, if everyone promises that they will not take things to extremes and make damn sure that the character they are moving with is happy with what's happening.

I know it seems as if I'm undermining you, but as an experienced GM, I feel it's necessary to point these things out so that other players can express their thoughts and also so you can consider the best course of action/gain GMing experience.
Sounds a bit silly, I know, but I'm rushing this. Got revision to do.

Anyway, as I was saying, I'm only saying what I am in an attempt to improve the game for everyone.

I'll be honest, the last sentence of that post is basically what I'm aiming for, and as far as I can tell it's only Snarky who's complained so far.

Ahem, i'm not reacting against his role or char, im reacting against the situation.

My char believes honour is important, so my actions were according to her beliefs.

Misusing chars? He said two things. Thanks and agreeing. (wich i think his char would do, unless he was a loner) And he has just a painfull throat.

So i took control, acted correctly, didn't do anything wrong...

I personally don't understand why Snarky is upset.

And for your example; would be hilarious. But, yes i would be upset. Because as you said you didn't "listen to my char."

I personally believe that, without taking control of other chars, rp-s would be dull. And make sure everyone would post only one sentence. (I'm not a big fan of this )

You just have to complie to basic things.

Personality, situation, actions. and PC's can't seriously injure other PC. Major decisions would have to be made with the Pc in question.

A lot of good threads use this principle, and they turned out to be very entertaining.

I understand and am thankful for all the help you've given, I'm just making sure everyone is on the same page. Snarky, if you have problems with this let us know what exactly is annoying you so much and hopefully we can come to an agreement.

This is supposed to be fun people!

I also agree with dark

and as answer to your 'PC only knows the personality/reaction of their pc's"

This is why 'personality' is a crucial part of the char-sheet.

Alright, I'm convinced. I'm revoking my Previous verdict. Snarky PM me with what's troubling you. Lets try and work this out.

Also, the further the roleplay progresses, the better we get to know each others (and our own!) characters.

this deserves a

I'm also putting a ban on one line posts that don't add much, as they just confuse people and take up space

Posts like: Jhon scratched his nose while he waited for the bus.

How does that evolve your character? if nothing's happening and you absolutely have to post and fill time, have your character remain in the same sate he was in when things were more active, but have think back on events, make plans, that sort of thing.

Please calm down a bit, all silly's post changed was how Snarky's character got out of jail, Sharpe is doing her own thing afterwards as you will see once this mess is settled and i have a chance to post the next goings on..

Oooooh, that's a nice shiny red button. Thank you.

Going to make one qualification to my ruling about controlling others characters:

In combat ONly the player who owns it may control a ships actions.

And enough with the emotocon or whatever the hell they are, this isn't a love in Damnit!

if you look back through this thread, past all the hugs, banter, and Darkvoid's plan to get everyone killed by facing down a ship three times his size, you'll find i once mentioned Experimental systems would be offered at certain points.

HooraY!
