Pre-internet, you usually knew who you were talking to. Presumably, your friends already knew you would be good with that. On message boards, you can’t know that. By casually flinging out spoilers with no warning (as you have done several times in the quoted post), you are potentially robbing...

In that case, @el-remmen and @Neurotic Your 1-hour Match for 3rd Place will begin around 4:30 PM EDT Sunday (about 23 hours from this post).

It’s worth pointing out that some past (and possibly future) judges (particularly those who use a point-based criteria for judgement) would impose an additional point-loss penalty. But even so, it might be worth the risk in some cases. Of course, the 1-hour match will have no such leniency.

Do you mean 9:00 GMT+1? That would be 4:00 PM EDT. Probably better to start at 9:30, even. @el-remmen?

That doesn’t really prohibit the future variant Strange from going even further back (before the accident) and changing the specific absolute point to a different one that works just as well. Assuming that the Absolute Point is actually based on paradox, that is, and not just some arbitrary law...

@Neurotic and @el-remmen How about 2:00 PM EDT (7:00 PM GMT+1) Sunday?

Your potential audience matters, though. You only know the people you know, after all. It’s often easy enough to determine whether or not people in real life already know something that is common knowledge, but you can’t really ever know that’s true of everyone reading a message board. You...

That may be correct. But I think there’s room for the reverse to be true, instead. The Ancient One assumes that the Absolute Point is unalterable and Strange defies that assumption in anger, frustration, and grief – choosing a path that he knows will ultimately break time (if successful), even...

In that case, @Wicht and @Gradine Your championship match will begin around 6:00 PM EDT Sunday (about 29 hours and 30 minutes from this post).

That sounds like a story worth elaborating on!

6 EDT would be 3 PDT, yes? Does that work for you, @Gradine?

Let’s see here… Sunday evening for @Neurotic (GMT+1) would be Sunday afternoon (5 hours earlier) for @el-remmen, I think (EDT, right?). Is this workable? Looks like we might have concurrent matches, after all. Maybe we can start this match at 3:00 PM EDT on Sunday and the match for @Gradine...

Well, he did say “in the flesh”.

I don’t personally mandate that PCs be heroic (or at least not amoral) in games I run, but the world will gently steer them in that direction simply because selfish people tend to have a hard time finding friends when they really need it.

If we do a third-place match, it’s going to be first. (Or concurrent.) But only an hour, I presume. Depends on @el-remmen and @Neurotic though. Pretty much just an exhibition match, though. It’s perfectly okay if you don’t have the time or energy!

Alright, let me try a different approach. Since common knowledge does not equal universal knowledge, and since I can’t unread words of yours that I might unwittingly read, would you kindly, pretty please, use spoiler tags on these boards when you mention things that you would consider to be...

You could double the elf’s maximum outdoor visibility ranges.

@Gradine and @Neurotic The final judgement for your match has been posted.

Judgement for Round 2, Match 2: Gradine vs Neurotic I apologize for the delay in posting this judgement. I must confess, my initial impression of both entries was not especially good. When that happens, I have to take some time to clear my head of those impressions so that they won’t bias the...
