Yes we've all heard of a boss fight, don't be mean. It's just most of the time we try cunning it fails terribly. Fei's pretend kidnapping, attempted bluff by Gecko, Axon trying to talk things down peacefully, etc; and that is just three attempts in one scene. I'm not saying it can't happen I'm just saying that we are using those things, and having very little success regardless.

We're not being mean. We're addressing an issue since apparently this has become an issue now. Fei's kidnapping has to take account of the characters involved in the scene. Lorelai, Solanne, and Jessi would not have acted OOC just for the sake of allowing her plan to go through, hence why they acted to stop it as well as seeing through it because that's them staying true to character in the IC.

I don't see an issue with the bluff by Gecko. It was a bluff and obviously it worked IC since Titania didn't shoot Monkey's head off. The only thing here that was a problem was Axon and that was admittedly our fault as the GMs for wanting to move on the forest scene as opposed to letting it drag on.
