[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8280350, member: 6779196"] Ok. Right, so now we’re back to what I said before: you’re establishing that the cost that must be paid for the attempt is 6 months of downtime (or whatever the available amount of time is). As long as I am willing and able to pay that cost, I should be allowed to try again. Granted, since time is apparently limited, I obviously am not able to pay that cost again. So really, whatever is limiting my time is the actual consequence for failure in this case. Ok Enough time [I]should[/I] mean you just succeed without a roll, that’s my entire point. Fine, but what about 12 months? What about a billion years? If time is unlimited and there is no other source of pressure, you should just (eventually) succeed. If time isn’t unlimited, clearly there’s a consequence for failure. Ok. I think if you’ve been following my conversation with [USER=29398]@Lanefan[/USER] it should be clear that the differences are many and varied. Neither do I, and if you got the impression that I did, you haven’t understood the nature of our disagreement at all. Yep, same. [/QUOTE]
