There was a bit too much time spent on passive, but the GMs did try their best to keep us busy with mini-events a lot of the time. The GM response time has gotten better since Marsh and people have been using their freedom to make some wild moves. As an event character in the Earthquakes, I...

Could use a lil Plywood in ere

It was hard to figure out the storyline and progress because we rarely got anything authoritative from the GMs in terms of the two. We couldn't agree on whether we did/didn't repair the train, we weren't sure what we were supposed to do aside from survive on the day-to-day, etc. I was playing an...

That wasn't my concern. In fact, that's the problem. People are just gonna start shooting to interrupt anyone that wants something else. There would be no time to ask about it.

Well, yes, but those rules are written such that they'll start shooting as soon as they send *their* /mes, if they don't just start shooting immediately without any /mes. They won't wait for you, and that's really not good. I have my doubts such a thing would change, unfortunately. Nobody seems...

That is not a great system, being subject to the attacker's decision to just blast you while you type and ask about it.

Underappreciated GM.

Then that's fine. That's what the thread was about. It's not like I took him at his word and did a one-man crusade to slander your name. I just did not understand what was going on based on what was either contradictory rules or contradictory interpretations. Not a single staff member (and I've...

Plus I'm not sure why you're suddenly being so hostile about it when you were cordial before. I get your dissatisfaction with what's been going on, but I don't appreciate that it's being taken out on me for making what I thought was a reasonable thread. Does getting out of your staff position...

I have read the rules. I just needed a proper interpretation since you and him had different takes on the matter. It seemed contradictory enough that it warranted the creation of this thread. I don't see how that is 'fucking dumb'.

yes

I re-entered my base because you were shooting me! I was just gonna hide it out and wait for it to blow over but you nearly killing me changed things. I thought I established that earlier. If we're talking about disarming, you went beyond what you needed to do to accomplish that. You took out...

Also, as an addendum: "[2025-07-03 06:24:41] [ME] Alejandra Ester: tried to get up onto their feet and make a run for safety, turning to the alleyway behind them as they tugged the sling of their rifle attempting to scatter off" I know Talia mentioned she wrote that as a deceiving line for...

I don't know what the Crips and Bloods are because I'm not American enough, but that's fair.

Oh no, I'm not saying it makes logical sense. It just makes it sound like it would be preferable because it could cancel out an S2K shootout. I'm not gonna push for it like that's how it should be, but I wouldn't put it past someone to interpret it that way. I keep responding about the run away...

We do tend to play on different servers but I do often do that on Short Stories. It is my fault for setting one side's expectations on another, but I was not expecting it to be so much more different. I don't see how running away would've helped when running got me shot.

That's *logic*, but according to that rule, my interpretation is what's implied. I ran away and I got shot for it, and that rule is making it sound such that running towards the shooter would've been safer because it would've kicked off S2RP.

I say again. In S2RP terms, you would've been distracted by Crash shooting back at you while I dragged Deacon away. In S2K application, what happened was that you killed her immediately before anyone could act and shot me before I could type. I don't know about First Aid Rules, I was just trying...

Also, the second sentence here is what concerns me. Does this mean, in gameplay terms, that to survive and do a good roleplay scene, I should be *running towards* the enemy with a gun to make sure we got a fair combat scenario? That doesn't seem right.
