Diplomatic Immunity OOC: The Third

[Brother Shatterstone]

RA [sblock]sorry, but I think it's best I drop this game. It's just not worth it to me to continue. If you don't care, then I don't or won't.

If you want me to drop DT please let me know.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=BS]I meant that I didn't care if you voluntarily failed a skill check. But if you want to drop, that's fine with me. Just let me know, and I'll work things out and NPC your characters for a bit.[/SBLOCK]

I really don't think that's what you meant. Your very particular when it comes to rules matter, hell look no father than the topic of how much XP we should get for the preludes, so I think it was more of a, "I don't want to deal with you."

I've also asked for you to include the mechanics at the bottom of posts, which wasn't done, so this sort of makes me think it was a, "I don't want to deal with you" post and the above OOC post was just to cover your ass.

I could go on but I know we are all human and we all make mistakes... So if you can sincerely and honesty say that you want me in this game (no neutral feelings cause then we're just wasting each others time) then call me still in...

If not, well, bye... This isn't worth it.[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=BS]BS, you are wrong about your interpretation of the earlier post. Let me make it clear: A player can always intentionally choose to take 0 on a skill check, so I don't care if you choose to do so. If you apologise for the post you just made (which basically called me a liar, which I am not), then I do still want you in this game, as there hasn't really been a problem yet, in my mind, if it ends here. Otherwise, I do not.[/SBLOCK]

RA: [sblock] Sure, I would be more than happy to as humans do error and all that. Do I get one back for causing the confusion in the first place? (and yes, I already knew that rule, which is much of the reason for this issue... in 2nd edition M&M a player can get an extra Hero Point for volunteering failing a check.) [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=BS]If you knew the rule, then what was the confusion? Oh, and I hope you have to fail a significant check to get that hero point or else...

"OK GM, I'm going to try a Spot check right now in our base, but I'll voluntarily fail. Now I'll do it again." [/SBLOCK]

RA: [sblock] Cause I didn't ask for a sense motive check so it seems to reason that I was willing to take my 0.

Yes, you have to put yourself in "grave" danger or something like that. You can fail a damage save, allow the bad guy to mind control you for the next scene. The new HP can't be used to get you out of the harm you just put yourself in.

I don't think you've ever read a comic in your life but you really should look at M&M when you get the chance. I think you would like it. [/SBLOCK]

Reactive checks like Spot and Sense Motive are assumed to be rolled, not taken as 0, or else players would be really screwed by rogues sneaking up Of course, the player may always choose to replace the result with a 0. If you would prefer that I always assume you are taking 0 on reactive rolls unless you say otherwise, I'm cool with that too.

Makes sense to me--Mutants and Masterminds sounds like a neat little system, but since I've never really read comics, I'd probably buy a bunch of other books before I bought it. That being said, I do really like JUL and some other comic-based carttons (like Batman the Animated Series).[/SBLOCK]

Well that part is true but in a PbP game I think its fair to assume that if the player doesn’t ask for more than you provide than it’s fair enough to take the zero or make the post OOC or via email. (lets just do that in the future? Maybe? )

Oh if theirs was any doubt. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding and for calling you a liar.

It’s JLU. But yeah those cartoons do rock. I do know a comic you would dearly love though. It’s called “Age of Bronze” its the basically the retaining of the Iliad. (I think that’s the right book. It’s the Trojan War. It’s very cool but since they strive to be accurate in the telling of the story, clothes, building structures, its a quarterly comic. )[/SBLOCK]

That's interesting--most people I've talked to seem to prefer the 'rolls help augment roleplaying' to the 'roleplaying causes rolls to auto-fail', but I see where you're coming from, and I'll do it like that for you in the future if you like.

Yup, typed the letters in the wrong order The Iliad is indeed the right book for the Trojan War, but if I learned anything from the movie Troy, it is that I should stay away from retellings of the Iliad because they make me sad
