A Merc's Life [OOC 02]

[Leif]

Why yes, David, you are totally correct, Pathfinder is far superior!

Why yes, Ryan, you are totally correct, 4E is clearly the best choice!

[What can I say? I like both! ]

 

[Scott DeWar]

Couldn't have been better lawyerized by a better person!!

 

[Leif]

As if you could even hope to find a better person who could lawyerize it!

Well, okay, maybe Lou, but then again maybe not so much.

OOC Tactics, Retconning and Initiative Count

Great fight! Nobody died, but the Schir tested you hard . . . excellent!

In this case the retcon of Leif's actions is fine - Tsadok's initiative was before Houwlou's, so it all worked out.

I would prefer to keep discussions of tactics IC. In this case I put Mike's thoughts into an instruction by Tsadok to give an example. The PC's can't read each others minds, after all . . .

To cut down on the retconning, I'd also like to try keeping combat posts in order of the initiative count. After over two years of adventuring, we're not in a hurry and this party is small enough that it shouldn't be hard to keep up with who's turn it is. The Combat Status Blocks are always posted in initiative order, so that will help.

So to sum up, for future combats I'd like to keep to the initiative count and post IC instructions rather than OOC discussions of tactics.

(Note that I'm not at all unhappy with the way this fight went! I pushed you guys hard and you did well - good drama there!)

Mikey,

Agreed! Great fight and I for one was not expecting another big fight right after the first one and then the guard. That was definitely set up to try us.

Sorry about the reneging. I've been very busy with working both jobs and finding a new house (did you get my email?), so my posting has been slow and untimely. That, combined with Leif's ambitiousness to be a timely poster, caused this situation. I'll make sure I have my characters verbalize things like this in the future. I would not have done this if Tsadok would not have gone first. Thanks for letting it stand!

Not a problem . Since Tsadok went first that's likely how it would have played out anyway.

Man, that house is SWEET! I hope that's not y'alls furniture in it though . . . if the baby crib's yours I'll be very disappointed you didn't say anything to me earlier!

LOL - You know I would have said something sooner. Nope, looks like my genepool is gonna die with me.

AHA! I knew It was Leif's fault!!

 

[Leif]

Sure, sure, everybody Olcan-pile the ranger.
