GWG, you do realize the more you argue with and whine to Ghaz, the slimmer your chances of ever getting back in/not being completely banned from these threads becomes?
Whine, I can see that, but I haven't done much of this. This is more arguing.
As for arguing...if the whim of the GM can sweep aside all concerns of fairness or logic, do I really want to play?
(Perhaps I'm making the error of imagining Ghazkull feels as I do on player comments.)
Now,
The Knife shattered here on account of a roll i did. You rolled a 2 the Knife broke simple as that, that on top of what Iituem said: what fits the roll. The Knife shattering is also an obvious GM tip, being as obvious as "let's pool our rolls together and severe the connection at once" won't work. Oftimes mere actpower won't save your ass, go creative about it.
The Game is run not on rules but mostly on account of what makes for good story or interesting !!FUN!! stuff, but that should have become obvious by now.
It makes for a good story to waste acts on something that was being discussed for a while and you just said was impossible?
EDIT: and GWG in some games i agree GM-Fiat is not really good/wanted/necessary/useful but in games like this GM-Fiat is the Name of the Game.
Firstly, I fail to see why "games like this," or any games, need to run on GM Fiat. Secondly, GM Fiat doesn't mean that all logic should or even can be ignored. Thirdly, there are an awful lot of numbery rules for a fiat-based game...
But do you really want to fight Sabt-Golgo, Aldemas, Vanida, and Udil?
Two of which have really powerful weapons designed to obliterate Gods(or more specifically VoidBeasts)
Five versus four, and that's assuming Sabts shows and the Ascendants don't. And don't forget the Crowborn, smartest guys in the galaxy, or the possibility of getting more on their side being slightly greater than it is for Udil's. *cough*Catalyst*cough* Pretty decent odds.
Frig that, we need the Terrans-they aren't Protoss. Hell, they aren't Protoss.
They're Tyranids. And none of us fit the Imperium, Eldar or Tau.
Maybe a little WAAAGH would help?
Or, since they're actually daemons...anyone want to take the mantle of God-Emperor? Other than Udil?
...Wait, Udil would make a great Emperor! And I'm not just saying that because of the Golden Throne.
