[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 5347605, member: 2011"] [sblock=MetaVoid] Well, the way you posted it, you posted it as an action for LAST round, after the DM already posted NPC actions and not as an action for this round. First, I don't think we should be posting actions retroactively. Second, if you meant it for this round, then you also have to post the rest of your actions with it (including any readied actions) right away. The concept of posting some of your actions and waiting for other players to post doesn't work in PBP (it doesn't work in a table game either). So, I'm asking Antithetist for a DM ruling that you did not either a) retroactively post it after the NPC actions for last round, or b) post only some of your actions for this round. The last two rounds took 10 days as it is. If we constantly retcon things, it takes even longer. I personally think that we should almost never retcon things, only in the case that an action is illegal. There probably should be an LEB proposal for that. Retcon slows things up too much and makes things too confusing. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
