[QUOTE="pming, post: 8184741, member: 45197"] Hiya! [B]GM[/B]: Player 1, this is it? You just want me to assume you pick this stuff up? [B]Player 1[/B]: Yeah, why not? It's just shopping...that's boring. [B]GM[/B]: Are you sure you don't want to do even a little RP'ing? [B]Player 1[/B]: Naaa...lets just get back to the ship and get off this station. .. [I][my Evil GM Brain starts turning as a wry smile, barely perceptible, turns at the corner of my mouth...][/I] .. [B]GM:[/B] The Agran Warship hails you. A visage of a VERY po'ed Agran High Warrior screams, "Dishonorable Vath'Ick! You have used the ashes of our greatest Warrior-Priest to...to...to coat your putrid under-arms! The Agran Collective will NEVER forgive this grave injustice! Prepare to meet whatever gods you pray to, scum!". Their 72 singularity-drive weapons are charging up...what do you do? [B]Player 1[/B]: [I]WHAT?!??![/I] [B]GM:[/B] That 'all natural' vacc suit deodorant you bought from a shady vendor. Yeah, turns out it wasn't deodorant you've been rubbing on your pits for the last week. [B]Player 1[/B]: How? Why?! What?!? I would have never...I didn't...wait a minute! That's not fair! [B]GM[/B]: [I]shrug[/I] Maybe next time you won't leave all the details of how, who and what your character buys up to me. 😈 Seriously, I have done...and continue to do... stuff like this when I GM. Well, maybe not quite so..."detrimental", but man o' man do I have a FEILD DAY with being given carte blanch by a Player to "assume the PC agrees to whatever it took to purchase/see/acquire/consult" something. :) Many a PC over the decades have found themselves in possession of stolen good, cursed items, or otherwise associated with, or indebted to, lets say... "less than upstanding individuals". ;) Always makes for a great sub-plot or new storyline! ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
