[@Tyki] The issue was a lot less with the fact that the minions were strong and a lot more with A) how they were written and B) that the yellow jacket had powers that didn't match the description on Vespid's character sheet. Where you're a CoGM, i think we expect that if you wrote something, it happened. This isn't helped by the fact that from what I've seen in action sequences, more often than not, a character will write what they TRY to do through their view rather than what HAPPENS to their target if the target is written by someone else. For example, when you had the wasp swing at Margoux, generally you would write that it threw an earth-shattering blow at her chest, not that the blow connected and knocked her over wheezing. The first is describing your character's action, the second is god-modding. Similar with [@Rex]'s Seth, you would write that she went to lift him by his throat, and at leastthat there was a reaction of some kind to the electricity AFTER he has made his move, instead of before. From what I've read, the yellow jackets don't have toughness/lightning resistance, so there should have been SOMETHING that happened on that one. The second issue is that (though the wasps did what theyshould/could have done, and frankly should have ESSENTIALLY won the fight with Margoux as they are more combat focused) the chars did not function as described on the CS page, where the yellow jackets have six skills and no magic. That felt deceptive, considering the events that transpired in your last post, where you called the woman "yellow jacket." I think it's a fair assumption to put one and one together there. For your argument about skills and being focused, if the man in the mask Margoux fought has two skills and two spells, that would leave him with an additional two points to use towards his own skills, meaning he would have (I'm assuming) unarmed x2 and toughness x2. Margoux, with her own swordsmanship x2 and goddamn buster sword, is also a very combat focused character designed for these sort of situations. She lacks toughness, which means she would take blows worse, but at the same timeit is [@overlord thraka]'s job to describe the results involving his character, not yours. TL;DR-Writing other players' reactions is godmodding, the M.I.T.M. and Margoux are both combat focused so it should have been a decent fight, the abilities held by the chars we had seen did not match what was previously described to us, and skills are actually pretty damn strong if you put multipliers on them: see "ripping men's spines out of their backs with your goddamn hands." ...and for the record,wanting agency doesn't make you a "beautiful swan of bullshit op." It makes you a normal-ass person looking to write without getting kneecapped. This is coming from the one person willingly playing a slave. I'm not trying to start a fight, just explain issues and resolve conflict. Peace. EDIT FOR YOUR LAST POST: you could have sent more than one guard to fight her.
