I'm fine with it and Abigail would be happy if it was used becuase if it's getting used It's most likely gonna help save people Abigail cares about.

"Yes.  I stand ready to execute his will."
"Yes, I stand ready to execute you."
"What?"
"I said, I stand ready to execute his will."
"Oh, OK. I thought you said something else."
"... And by that I mean execute you."

Ignoring the rather obvious IC opinion of it, I'm rather ambivalent OOC.  PW has been filling out character actions with interpretations since the early days; I've just rolled with them.

That said, I could see issue with some people wanting to keep control in the tensest moments (see: AoP fight) but the players got several rounds to act in that case anyway.

PPE:  Any good preacher likes wordplay!  And he hasn't shot any other players.




Yet.

IC, Charles is fine with it, whatever gets the job done after all. OOC, I'm okay with it as long as it doesn't get used that readily and we get a bit of forewarning to allow us to set up actions, since after all, it isn't giving other people control my character as much as its letting something possess my character's body.

Now we just need to Tinker up a safe way to let the Lurker possess us temporarily as well! :D

The first to quote this post in the ER ooc thread will win a fabulous prize!
hello
Out of curiosity, how'd you end up stumbling into that?

I'm opposed to it both in an out of character. Mostly because I don't want anyone else controlling my characters at any time.
Man this is like the best part.

"Some underequipped rebels shoot at you."
Oh wow, real original.

"Alien death penises cause liquid starlight to pour from your eyes. You turn towards your former comrades."
EVERYTHING IS AT MAXIMUM ENJOYMENT.

That said, I could see issue with some people wanting to keep control in the tensest moments (see: AoP fight) but the players got several rounds to act in that case anyway.
Was somebody pissed they didn't get to keep control during the AoP fight? I thought everyone was super cool with not dying savagely to an anime-level opponent and that any other outcome would have led to the gruesome demise of themselves and possibly those around them.

Don't worry, we won't control your character, we'll just control your character's body~

Plus even if you refuse, the alternative is also likely going to be losing control. Permanently.

Don't like it, also, neotherm rounds await you when you're done.

If you can't let a manmade god puppet you around to save your life, then you may as well die now. :-D
