[USEC_OFFICER]

((Except not really, because PLOT. Except I kinda hate my old plot now, so it'll hopefully never come up. Yay...))

Kyle walks over to look at where the crash came from.

He pauses before looking to Araceli. If she can feel anything at all she would feel a cold sweat forming as Kyle glares at her.

Aedan looks directly at where Kyle is not showing any emotion. Then he speaks.
"Oh shit."

[smurfingtonthethird]

((Is it bad that I feel oddly relieved that Lizzie is dead?))

((BURRRRRN (on kyle)
Also, that's a permakill. A depressing end to a depressing character.))

Kaiser is shocked. Then angry.

"...die."

Kaiser tries to inject Ashfake with nanomush.

Garrett boosts Stella's strength by 4.

[Projeck37]

((And thus I became the first player GM to kill off a player character.
*Projeck waves around a little flag unenthusiastically.))

[USEC_OFFICER]

((Eh... Yeah, pretty much. Enjoy the achievement, you PC slaughterer you.))

[Xantalos]

((Hey, congratulations! You've brought me happiness.))

[Empiricist]

((Yes, this was allowed by PN.))

((Why would you need a player's permission to kill one of their characters? Does this mean that no PC can die without their player's permission?))

[USEC_OFFICER]

((I assume that it's because Lizzie may or may not have plot attached to her. Or the damage that Ashfake did was GM fiat'd, which is why it was in a separate turn thing instead of being a part of normal combat. *shrug* Or something, I don't know.))

[Rolepgeek]

((Probably because people get upset over their characters dying, Empiricist, particularly if it's done without warning. It feels like the GM's doing it to spite you, then. That, and the character you've invested time and energy in gets offed because of a dice roll. Rarely ends well for anyone.))

((Basically, it's polite and means nobody hates you/you aren't a dick. Killing off someone's character without them having a say in the matter tends to be a dick move. Not always, but usually.))

((Also, didn't we change the magic system to work differently? Or is that a unique magic system full of bullshit strength that only affected Lizzie?))

Spensir is still totally vitally surging so he can start bringing out the whoop-ass.

[Empiricist]

((I agree that enough clues should be given, however, there still should always be a possibility of failure either due to death or failed objectives.))

[smurfingtonthethird]

((People can die if they make dumb decisions in combat. It's only a permakill if they aren't revived in time, though.

However, one-shotting a character without any warning or chance to evade, and expect backlash.))

[Rolepgeek]

((Oh I get that, but my point is primarily about if someone gets screwed because the RNG decides it's time for a ridiculous crit on the hero left at 6 HP who's about to deal the finishing blow that no one else can to save the world/in a highly dramatic moment in which the PC is meant to come out on top that isn't actually a climactic event.))

((I mean, if any of your characters got hit for 95 damage and killed(only people that could survive that are full health Spensir and Garrett, and only barely...), you'd be pissed. I'd be pissed. There should be the possibility of failure, but if you fail entirely because fortune decided to make you it's bitch? It's not fun for anyone.))

[Empiricist]

((I wouldn't, since I have a liking for high-lethality games but I get your point.))

[smurfingtonthethird]

((PC death aside, where's the rest of the update, projeck?))

[Rolepgeek]

((I wouldn't, since I have a liking for high-lethality games but I get your point.))

((All of your characters die. Simultaneously. With no warning. Would you find that fun?))
