[OOC] In Hunting Beasts and Monsters

[Lugubrious]

I'll see if I can't throw up a post tomorrow.

Music for Highball:

Also, yeah, I think that there's just a bit for you to correct on your post. Getting to the ravine would take a couple hours, not a few minutes, other than that, everything seems ok.

@KoL

I see. I'll change that.

@Lugubrious

It would be silly otherwise, wouldn't it? To have the place literally a city block away.

[Zeroth]

A dark fantasy world, but there are train tracks...hmm, interesting implications abound. Also, I'm assuming that Iredele is like, smack-dab center of the map, huh?

[Lucius Cypher]

@Zeroth

I dunno about train tracks, and as for the location of Iredele maybe you ought to go find Maria and Donny and get a confirmation?

[Lugubrious]

Please note that, due to the nature of the RP, I cannot do anything until either kol or windel gives me something to do in relation to Paraanon.

Look at my last post.

Look at my last post.

@TheWindel

I can throw up a few lines where she gets scared and looks around, but I've not got anything else to go on. The blind man's actions are directed toward some sort of 'group' of 'travelers', which can't be Highball because she's on her own. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing in this situation; if she's meant to go and confront this 'group' about the blind man, she is certainly not going to do that. I can't really just ignore it and enter the ravine either, since all I know about the ravine is that its entrance is nearby.

[TheWendil]

@Lugubrious

Eh? Whoops. Thought she was traveling with Maria. I'll edit it later then. The blind man is only speaking to Highball.

[KoL]

@Lugubrious@TheWindel

Seriously, this issue deserves an edit? I fail to see the logic here. If the man is blind (and possibly mad), how can he be sure that Highball isn't with a group? A little more of flexibility would go a long way with things like this one.

[Lucius Cypher]

Highball is with a group. The trick is, she doesn't realize she's been surrounded.

I'll get a post up soonish.

@Lucius Cypher

Plot twist: It's the Slender Man, don't... look behind you.

[Lugubrious]

What? This 'issue' was resolved before you started typing. It doesn't matter about ambiguities in character; the blind man could think there's a whole circus and I wouldn't care. The problem is about ambiguities between writers. According to Windel's post, he approached a 'group'. Highball is not part of a 'group'. He didn't approach 'what he thought was a group'. I can't operate if I'm not given explicit bounds, because I'm not allowed to generate situations and settings for myself. Windel even admitted that he made a small mistake, thereby acknowledging the necessity of an edit to clear up the misunderstanding.

I know you don't like me, but this is unabashed pulling at straws to find ways to rebuke me. If you're so eager to get on my case, I can just leave.

EDIT: what do you mean she's with a group, Lucius? There's been no mention of this. Every other character is still in Iredele.

[Lucius Cypher]

Alright alright, let's calm down before this gets into another fireball. First, let me say I was just joking Lugu. Higball is flying solo at the moment, not something I completely endorse but that's your action, and I'm sure you're aware of the consequences of it. Secondly KoL, Lugu's issue is confusion which even I had upon reading the post. I know Highball is traveling alone, so when the blind old man approached a group I wasn't certain myself if this was suppose to be like, the god hand or something, or if it was just a mistake on Windel's part. Whihc Windel admitted to, so that clears things up.

It was an issue because it makes it hard for everyone involved (And even those not involved) figuring out exactly what happens. Whatever happens to this "Group" may not be happening to Highball, because as Lugu said, she went alone. Of course common sense would dictate that Windel meant to say Highball, but for all we know someone like say, Omen, might have ran off to find her or at least followed her without or without her knowledge. And to be completely honest, I'm almost certain that Windel copy/pasted that post from the last version of this RP, where there was a group.

But that's been cleared up now so we know that whatever is happening in Windel's post is suppose to be happening to Highball. Edit shall be made for the sake of clarity, because in moments like this every detail counts.

@Lugubrious

God, when did a mere suggestion ensued such a reply? Furthermore, I typed it without reloading the page, so Windel's post actually "ninja'd" mine, nevertheless what I wrote is still relevant as an answer and even if it wasn't I don't think a complete inoffensive remark would deserve the above reply.

I never said I dislike you, really, when was that?

Try to think again before being this harsh, what I really dislike is offensive people, let's not being another argument, please.

PS: I don't remember any of us ever mentioning that the players can't create their own situations, just look at Kenji for a good example.

@Lucius Cypher

Pardon the double post, but I just had to come and give out a sigh. I know this is another case of two people posting basically at the same time, but... sigh. This is patronizing in the extreme, Cypher.

I've seen posts that are way harder to get the meaning of than that one, plus I already said, my commentary wasn't meant to be offensive. Really, you all just need to chill out, this RP is already walking on a thigh rope, if these arguments tick Windel off you know what's gonna happen.

[Lugubrious]

Sorry, Lucius. You should grab some popcorn.

@KoL

It was offensive. You accused me of inflexibility when I had no fault whatsoever in the misunderstanding. If you didn't mean it to be offensive--well, lesson learned. No hard feelings.

You have explicitly said you dislike me, right here:

@Lugubrious
You've earned my dislike not because you have made your opinion known, but because you was trying to push it on us.

@KoL

That was the second part of your running tally of red marks on my history with this RP. The first one was when

Lugu assumed from what was written that we the players have a fairly free reign with how the story develops, including our characters, who are instrument to that story.

@Lucius Cypher

All NPCs, monsters, and so forth are completely under GM jurisdiction. I can't do anything but walk somewhere and wait for one of you to make something happen there. @Zeroth walked to the butcher's and waited for something to happen there, and Lucius obliged him. He couldn't make the situation with the butcher on his own. I rather think that's a good example of what I'm talking about, not what you're talking about.

Please note that I don't have a problem with responding to GM-offered situations; it just requires GM involvement frequently.

I had not dreamed that this 'issue' could have been resolved anything but simply. I bear Windel no ill will, and I'm not even upset with you, kol, and am in fact perfectly ready to proceed now that I'm sure of the situation. I don't see why Windel might get ticked off; he's proven himself entirely affable and reasonable. Unfortunately, I also don't know what would happen were that to occur. Would I get kicked?

[TheWendil]

@Lucius Cypher, @Lugubrious, @KoL

I'm not entirely in the position right now to reply to each one of you; but if you're going to continue resolving this issue through excessive paragraphs please do so in the PMs.

[Lucius Cypher]

@KoL

That's why I'm here to handle the situation personally. Point is that the matter is resolved. As GM's it's our duty to help players figure out what's going on (Within a reasonable limit of course), so I'm doing my part to help clear up misunderstandings. You might have been able to figure out what Windel meant, but Lugu didn't. We gotta do our best to make sure things go smoothly, cause it's a bumpy ride.

@Lugubrious

We're still sore from the last fight Lugu. Though I'd attribute our mess to Halon's Razor: Don't assume malice where stupidity can suffice. I'm sure none of us are actually angry at each other, it's just there's a continued misunderstanding that's giving us all the wrong impressions.
