The Woll Manor (Dark/Mature/Interactive Murder Mystery)

Maybe it's the same concert? And maybe it's me from the weekend playing backward through a time machine?

Ermagerd you guyz.

to outright *ignore* all other sheets is entirely disrespectful.

I honestly wonder if people read them and it simply doesn't occur to them that it might be worth making their character with the intention of complimenting or contrasting the other characters in a roster. It's not as though every character has to fill a unique niche, but if two characters have similar specialities, let's say, then those characters should surely be designed to contrast one another, or you end up with a completely random and unconnected characters?

I can generate some fluff out of nothing if necessary, but nobody wants that. I'll hold fire until something crops up.

Fluff from nothing, by the way, will from now on be known as fluffing.

New B!tching:

When players obviously don't even look at other sheets before submitting their own character, resulting in awkwardly similar character roles within an RP (without complimenting or contrasting) or outright contradicting others. Grr.

True, but isn't an OoC normally when people apply anyway? :{P

The Woll Manor (Dark/Mature/Interactive Murder Mystery)

Definitely OoC time. :P

Are we ready for OoC now we have just enough people?

I'm in therapy now. A little respect, please.

Jig: resident spanner.Intended location: the works.

And on that note, I'm an absolute nightmare for tweaking and changing my character prior to the IC. The core stays the same, but I do tweak and change them - hopefully my PM isn't considered super-mega-incontrovertible-canon. :P

Oh boy, this just brought back bad memories of a player I once had the incredible displeasure to be part of a game with; I had one character who I rolled as an information-broker, went through the other players to ensure that they would be okay with this – they were fine with it, but this one chap, he took meta-gaming to a whole new level. Whatever I did to try and role-play this sneaky little career, somehow his character would be there to foil the whole thing. Eventually I had to go the Gms due to it as his character eventually began to claim he knew who my character was without any evidence!I could understand that, after a few in-game months and habits that gave my character away, I could understand someone being a tad suspicious, but this guy was there in the pantheon of meta-gaming gods.But yeah, it irks me bad!

These people suck. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's just a determination to helpfully pick up on every point in everybody's post.

I once was playing an underconfident-and-cowardly-but-not-incompetent character who was deliberately concealing his skills out of reluctance and spite, which I said, in my narrative voice in the IC. One character, an infuriatingly imperious and kool (with a kapital kay) snarker immediately turned to him in the following post asking him if he was hiding anything.

When challenged: "Oh, she's a very complex character. I'm sorry you don't understand her."
