[QUOTE="Not a Decepticon, post: 9479580, member: 7020527"] The players went to meet the king on their own, then in a completely unrelated to them event he got killed. The event of his assassination should, logically, still occur on the same day because it is not affected by their actions. By retconning them to move out two days later, the event that already has happenned cannot happen anymore. Which breaks the internal coherence of the game. Obvious solution would be that the assassination is moved to 26th but that basically tells the players "this is not a living, breating world, this is a staged game that you are center of and it will break and bend to your whims." For many people, like me, the immersion would be broken and if I was a player I would find it very hard to get invested again. And I have to ask, why did you read "meeting a king" and immediatelly thought of railroading? It makes no sense, as far as we know players decided to meet the king on their own free will. [/QUOTE]
