What is a less than favorable event, Clock? It seems apparent what you mean is "an event that doesn't favor [i]me[/i]."

It's an equivocation of asking people to play flag football and then saying: "We're just here to have fun," when one team attempts to win. [@Palamon]'s point also implies that people who wish to emphasize the [b]game[/b] in Role Playing [b]Game[/b] are incapable of creating story, though it may be unintentional.

Call me self centered, but I doubt a lot of people enjoy power playing that tends to arise otherwise, at least it seemed to be the notion in the Interest/Planning Check.

I would argue that football is a bad example, you can't compare a sport to text based roleplaying in my eyes. When someone says "have fun" in an RP, I take it as having a good time and planning and talking with other RPs about what will happen IC and other random bits and bobs in the OOC which may not be directly related to the IC. What I do know is that people having online dick measuring contests is not my definition of fun nor is it the consensus of those in the original check, something that the designing of this RP took into great consideration to prevent: E-peen measuring and powergaming. How do I know this? I was in that check and also the one who made the OP.

Thanks for the last bit though ^^
