Star Wars:Outer Rim Task Force (sign up thread)

Actually, yes, he did take control of my character. For one, grabbing a character and dragging them along without giving them a chance to respond? That's character controlling. CC has more facets than just directly controlling character. I'm not saying that Cadius having a bounty on his head is improbable or wrong, I'm saying that if you're going to inject yourself into someone's story you should run it past them first instead of just deciding that this is the case. This is not complicated.

Ah, screw it, I'll just say what comes to mind here.

Using your logic the GM needs to run it by you, the player, if it's alright if your character feels a little queasy from something in your food not agreeing with you, not throwing up, not sick, not even the slightest bit distracted, simply a digestion problem that will have no bearing on the rp's story or how your character performs.
Or that you clip a gum and start bleeding because another player ran into you at the wrong time while eating, causing them to ask if you are alright, thereby including their character in your story, allowing you to do more than sit around and complain about the taste of the food and how you wish you were back on your ship, etc., etc.

Now I am sure that in your mind, these are not equal with her dragging you along with her for fifteen feet and placing something that should only be run by the GM, if anyone. It simply reeks of not wanting to be a part of the rp, but a player in the rp.

Asclepion isn't the GM of this thread. If a player started doing any of those things, I'd get pretty annoyed too. Because stuff like that is for -me- to decide, not for them. Because it's my character.

Prince is right. It was wrong of Asclepion to control his character and throw him into that situaltion without his permission. That being said, it was with good intent. It just needed to be carried out with a bit more grace.

I just kept going out of confusion in lack of continuity, that and I expect the GM to start the action... at least the first encounter.

Edit: Can the GM please comment on this scandal.
