((Mundane actions are standard basic things characters can do and get autosuccess, if a character has a modifier that makes it difficult to do the action then a mundane action becomes an advanced action.))

((Lets say fictional character Bob wants to sit down, Bob is human and has no problem with that and sits down as an auto success.
Now lets say fictional character Fred wants to sit down, Fred was shot with an arrow through his knee, so it is awfully painful and difficult to sit down without possibly tipping the chair, missing entirely, hitting the chair too hard, breaking the chair, or some other problematic thing. Fred has to roll as this is now an advanced action for him. Fred rolls the dice, he gets a 6 and sits on the chair too hard, breaking it and causing him to fall on his ass. Fred screams in pain as the arrow jerked around, Fred is now in heavy pain and has a negative intelligence modifier as it is hard to think when in pain.))

((Missed a bit but don't want it to be lost in an edit:))

((Fred tries doing a crossword for whatever insane reason well an arrow is in his leg and he is sitting on his ass on the ground in extreme pain, Fred has an intelligence modifier of -1 due to pain, Fred rolls a 3, which normally would let him do the crossword fine, however he has a -1 and therefore got a 2, Fred fails to do the crossword.))

((This is amusing currently.))

((To be honest, I think you should combine the Action and Roleplay phases, have actions be bolded, if they are mundane, then don't role for them (auto success), if they are advanced then roll for them, modifiers can be applied if a character is adapt at something (Like Juno or The Many with hacking, or Lily with Bomb Making) to make it slightly more realistic.))

The short version is merging Action and Roleplay would affect my performance drasticly.

 The long version is this,the problem is that the Topic Summary only goes so far back and so if I combine the Action and Roleplay phases then I'll have to manually go back and sift through all the posts,you lot tend to make a lot of roleplay post's,you can see the effect of this on some of my recent updates because some of the quotes are white and you can't go to the source,this comes from you bunch sometimes making Roleplay posts in the action system.

Final result,I'm not going to merge both phases.

Great so shall we continue THE PLOT that has no direct path?

[Lyeos]

((He would have to keep up with each character's modifiers, rather than do more dice rolls.))

((Edit:The plot is that we'll eventually be involved in space piracy. Woohoo! Also, bleh on the current Action Phase. Mostly due to wanting to ask pointless and increasingly ridiculous questions.))

((Most rp actions are considered mundane if it is something a character could easily do. if needed, we can clarify rp vs nonrp action by bolding and underlining nonrp actions and only bolding rp actions. If the GM decides that an rp action is too difficult to be an autosuccess, then he can roll for it. Nonrp actions are always rolled.))

((And it's fine if you don't merge them, just expect some rping to happen during the action phase.))

Gladly holds Morgans jacket and his pet bird "Paul" while he teaches a man whats what

(6) Whoops! Paul falls on the floor.

Juno continues to sit in the chair with Lily.

  Yay,sitting in chair.

Sethel: As ship seems beyond my imperfect repair, follow the rest of the crew. Where they were going, again?

(2) One of your robotic legs malfunctions,while this isn't serious,it impedes your movement.

Barf the last remaining atom of alcohol onto the floor, and then sock the bartender in the face.

(2) You aren't good at losing alcohol.

The Many: Send a small group of Us to hack the computer system of the closest spaceship repair and maintenance dock, making it seem like We had paid for some repairs a week ago for the ship, then to return back.
(Muttered) "Who needs money when you have Us?"
((If I get a 5, I'll probably get compensation for the "wasted time", and oh, the ship will get repairs too.))

(4+1) You hack the computer of the spaceship dock,you even find a poorly guarded ship that would be easy to steal if you need it. (The dock would be equipped to deal with this.)

We can have bonuses and penalties.

Who did I miss?

[Lyeos]

((Me, but my plan has now been altered drastically so it no longer matters.  ))

[~Neri]

((Nothing with me, just chair sitting.))

((Lily may have asked for a drink or something, not entirely sure.))

((Morgan may or may not have done something, I don't remember.))

((Otherwise I don't know.))

[ZalkozDestbro]

PICKS UP PAUL AS QUICK AS FUCKING LIGHT SPEED AND ACTS AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED.... Also bribes Paul with a sleeve of crackers to not tattle (edited to add crackers)

[TamerVirus]

Who did I miss?

I was gonna chat up the so-called mysterious man. But you missed that.

[~Neri]

Sooo what is this plan you have Lily?

((Just throw something unexpected in whenever it starts getting tedious? Doesn't look like that is needed for a while since we have been horsing around and random fun stuff keeps happening. But I ish fine with it.))

((Also maybe add something to the first post title along the lines of "Still accepting new players, have yet to get out of the bar."))

[Lyeos]

"Oh, it doesn't matter. I realized it was unlikely to work. May I ask you a somewhat pointless question or two?"

[blazing glory]

Chat up the mysterious stranger

(1) He leaves quickly without replying.
