[QUOTE="niklinna, post: 9251380, member: 71235"] In [USER=42582]@pemerton[/USER]'s example, something had been proposed, but not yet agreed to or settled; that seems to have been assumed by respondents to that post (perhaps because it's assumed that what the GM says must be blindly accepted as established?). A participant [I]partially[/I] countering a [I]proposal[/I] does not constitute a jerk move. A participant directly contradicting what everybody else at the table has agreed to is definitely a jerk move. Even then it can depend on how the contradiction is presented: "Okay no magic but I'mma play a wizard anyhow!" vs. "Hey gang I think I'm not comfortable with the no-magic thing, can we revisit that? Like maybe magic's gone but it might be out there to find? Maybe my character found a magic thing and fancies himself the last of the wizards?" It's still a big ask to go back over previously-negotiated stuff, but that's a much more reasonable way to go about it. [/QUOTE]
