Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rystil Arden" data-source="post: 2734558" data-attributes="member: 29014">[SBLOCK=BS]I think that your last reply was a very good start into helping with the problem.  However, there are still a few issues I'd like to try to bring up:The player has the right to explain only if the GM hasn't already made a final decision.  When the player exercises that right, they explain once, and then the GM makes a choice.  There is not extra arguing after that, and if the GM still decides something else, it doesn't mean they are being close-minded.  My other players tend to find me open-minded to ideas, but that is because your definition of open-minded diverges a little from theirs, I think.I think I need to reiterate what I said before: If you were really willing to edit, you would have done so first before asking me to edit.But your response makes a big and rather startling assumption--it assumes that I was going to edit my post.  You should have edited first regardless of whether I edited or not.  No clairvoyance necessary.  Look how the NDP did it in my long post.That would have been completely acceptable.  Also, if you had immediately edited it, that would have been fine too.  The reason why posting it OOC would have been better is actually not for me (I don't care where it goes first) but for you--you seem to be a lot more stubborn about changing things once you've posted them IC, so if you posted it OOC, I think you would have been more likely to listen--because let's face it: If all we had was your post, my request for an edit, and then you edited, we wouldn't be here right now, which is why this next thing you said seems to be a bit dishonest: Last point: You did, but then you didn't.  You kept everything that was wrong and then cut off the end.  And especially with my edit, which was carefully chosen to make your old interpretation 100% untenable, you leave Kalli looking like, for lack of a more polite way to say it, an idiot, if we put the text together like this:K: “Oh, so even if there was no Lynestra there would still be someone else to keep us apart?” C: "Oh, no, not at all--don't worry Kalli. Lynestra is the only one." K: “You would rather be single forever than to be with me?” [/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
