You can't destroy the air supply of a capital warship just casually. Life support systems aren't centralized. Even tiny little freighters have backup scrubbers. Plus, the post where you did it included you controlling my character without my permission, so I ignored it, as is my policy.
I've just been working under the assumption that the life support system is down, but there's still clean air in the ship (i.e. we haven't used all the oxygen yet) As such, the fire and the injured are of greater priority.Asclepion said:
Well it looked like two different continuities were going happening during one plot line, so it got confusing. I thought it was better to post something than nothing and look like I had lost interest in the RP.Asclepion said:
Oh please. I made you walk outside a room. It was that or get into melee against 20 dudes with laser swords and magical powers. Let alone that I did it so you had a chance to fight back.PrinceOfShapeir said:
The issue now is my character can't progress. Her motivation for the bombing is to cause chaos during which she can get the target off ship (and give everyone something to do, to avoid 'single bounty hunter vs Jedi army') But it didn't happen, so now I'm left acting out-of-character with him and prematurely, needlessly setting things off.
My character's timeline is fucked. I can't do anything. It has to be rewritten.
To be fair, almost as soon as it was put up you did say you were rewriting it too. And forgive me for saying this, but I forgot about your character in the sign-up thread, so I assumed it was a case of mistaken identity of the thread. And I've got this thing in my head about the GM needing to post things that go boom on the ship, so there was the chance that it was a troll post as well. No offense.Asclepion said:
I'd like to have Birdfalcon weigh in on this before we make another move. There is clearly a lot of confussion and honestly, I'm not really sure what to do either. I was talking to Asclepion about his Godmodding post the other day and we agreed that the RP is just going to slowly. Once again, I hope the GM is listening, cause this whole thing is a major issue.
yeah, partly due to other players refusal to go along with it, partly because, at least to me, it was really vague exactly what was going on, and also because our gm just kinda ignored it, without really addressing the issue. The combination kinda made two continuities, yours and Bird's, though I'd be inclined(just slightly mind you) to think that Bird's is the one everyone's going with at this point.
Actually, you also controlled my character into setting a bounty on his head without my permission - not an unreasonable thing for him given his profession, but it's considered pretty terrible form to make up stuff about other player characters without them even being consulted. You can get away with it as a GM -kind of-, but as a player? No, sir.Asclepion said:
Also, it didn't help that your post didn't make much sense. It kind of looked like your character was trying to carry out some kind of weird suicide bombing.
Again, it's not an unreasonable trait for my character, but you -didn't clear it with me-. You're missing the whole point - the point is that you took control of my character.
Let me make this as clear as possible.
Never control another player's character without their express permission. FOR ANYTHING.

Holy fuck. And here I thought I was going to surge excitement into the game, give you something besides eating in a mess hall. I thought you'd be getting off on the chance to match wits and be hunted by someone.
I wouldn't have done this if I'd known it was so important to you.
I'm rolling a new character.

You know, I probably would have agreed to it if you had run it past me first. But you didn't, you took control of my character without me being informed prior to then or my permission. That is probably the worst possible thing you can do in an RP. At least with someone just playing a Mary Sue or a straight up invincible character you're not having control of your character taken away. I'm honestly stunned that it's this difficult for you to understand this, it is the most basic piece of RP etiquette.
Well, he didn't take control of your character, he simply injected her into your story. When you put things like "acquired a Stormtrooper suit and is a well-known merc" in your sheet, you're just asking for the BH that was less than a dozen posts above yours to take the liberty of assuming SOMEONE wants you dead. Not everything has to be planned, but what the hell do I know? I just make a character and go the direction they'd go, unless it seriously fucks with the story.
And Asclep, keep with the girl, at least that way we've got more than just ourselves to blame when everything goes to hell, as I'm sure it will.
