Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kobold Stew" data-source="post: 9499565" data-attributes="member: 23484"> <table style='width: 100%'><tr><td></td><td> I'm not sure how to respond to this, but I will try. This is not the first time you have criticized my play, but it is the first time in this game that I can think of someone has stopped an action of another player. When I play face-to-face, this would be unthinkable, but I accept not every table is the same, and we don't have the benefit of fellowship or comraderie. However, you also had the opportunity to post in the ooc, and you chose not to. It appears to me that you are confusing me for my character. Tommi is impulsive, but I am not, and I think I was pretty slow to act. I'll offer support for both halves of that sentence. * First, check out his character sheet: "Personality: happy go lucky. I've always got by so far. Odds are I will tomorrow as well. ... Flaw: A sleeping bear? I should poke it." This choice should not be a surprise to you. * On October 18 Tommi turned to the group and asked for discussion (asking the fiend "Maybe you can just give us a sec?"). Almost everyone weighed in. Twelve days later, someone else in the group nudged us to take action, so I posted an action for Tommi. You reacted to that post, on Wednesday, and said nothing. I have posted once since then (drawing out the action, recognizing it was controversial) and three days later you have responded. I took your "wow" reaction and subsequent silence as acceptance. I really do not believe I was rushing anything. You ask for OOC discussion. Yes, Let's. I am saying the characters should try to break the rod, and anyone who wants should be at a safe distance. I have no idea what the result will be, or if it's possible. But I feel that choice both advances the story and keeps the group central in the action, which giving it away does not. It also seems true to Tommi. I further believe we are ill-equipped to negotiate with a devil. An alternative (the one Tommi would think of if it doesn't break) would be to try to bury it or hide it so that it can be never found again. But it would be us (the characters) doing it, on our own, and it would not involve bringing a partially-captive Pit Fiend back to a community, which does not seem to me either wise or kind (both of which I feel characterize Tommi). Lunn would be a natural person to try to break the rod with Tommi, and we could Help each other, but it would put Lunn in the blast radius I am imagining (as I described in a subsequent post, 3531). Let's discuss. </td></tr></table></blockquote>
