It looks like the fight has more or less subsided.  Please try to be more respectful in the future.  I mean, I write that, but the usual suspects seem to have ignored my previous warnings.  If thread warnings aren't effective, I'll have to step it up.

ty for stopping such tomfoolery
also, im really sick r n so i cant do the turn

[Sanure]

Okay, Since I was asked to make a decision on this, and since I have thought about this all day, I'll now address it.

Akroma, you said it yourself that you want this to have a positive outcome. I don't think it ever will, so long as I am a GM. As long as there is interest in this game I will continue to be the GM of it. It may not be Rise of the Magic Girls anymore, but it is a genre I love.

And yes, there is bad blood between us, there has been ever since Icarus was a thing back in v2. Now, I'm not saying we don't get along sometimes, because frankly we do. I am saying that when it comes to roleplaying, our styles are way to different.

You don't like how I Gm things. I doubt that will change. When I Gm, I'm not such a stickler for rules. Sometimes a rule can get in the way of fun or character development. PN's Durah clone was one of those reasons. I allowed it that one time because I thought it would add a bit of realism to the game. That was me, not PN. The invisibility nerf is going to come after PN's plot ends, along with a few other nerfs that are needed, due to me not wanting to stall combat any longer than it already has been. The way I GM is to try to be fair to everyone. I will not do something if it only benefits a single player or it directly harms another unless I can solve the problem via a compromise.

So, yes, I do think you should quit, not because of our constant arguing because I doubt that will ever change, but because I am going to remain the GM of this, whether it has just four players, or upwards of fifteen. And I do apologize for making you think I wasn't taking your grievances into account, because I was. If you think I do things just to spite you, I don't. I never have. It may have seemed like it, but my intentions were never to do that.

So TL:DR, I'm sorry. You shouldn't have to be in a game that has a toxic GM. I know I wouldn't want to be, and I apologize for subjecting you to that.

[Akroma]

The problem is that you never really explain why something is particularly fun or fair or benefits anyone, actually.

I mean look at the fight going on. We have 5 players on our side, and 6 (I am counting the turret, afterall it has 2 attack per turn and deals like 14 damage - thats more than most players do) on the enemy side. So far our side has dealt 52 damage to the enemies in total, while the enemy has dealt 134 damage to us. Very clearly, they are out-damaging us by far. All the damage we have dealt so far was against fake Durah and Skyflame, while the *actual* boss enemies are still entirely unharmed. Lilly is down so low that she has to retreat, and I think Lillian is soon to follow, so our damage-output decreases even further. So we are out-numbered, out-damaged and probably out-leveled by the enemy as well. Add to that the nether-aura. As you can see, all the odds are already stacked in the enemies favour.

Do ask yourself, do they really *need* to also have the rules bend in their favour? When the enemy is already clearly dominating the fight, one should maybe take a step back and think wether or not giving the fake Durah  two actions per turn was a good idea. You don't have to retroactively change the events, but the problem right now is, that you are *still* giving the enemies advantages. I am refering to the muscled man, who popped into combat, simply canceled my attack and then popped out again. Wether or not simply canceling someones attack without taking damage in the process should be allowed, now that is really up to debate, but him simply going invis or teleporting out immediatly again after doing so is again him taking two actions.

You said right now you as a GM want to try and be fair to everyone, and not do something that only benefits a single player or directly harms another. Yet your decisions during this fight so far ONLY benefited the enemy, while directly harming ont just one player, but everyone.

No, no you are not taking my grievances into account, you say one thing, while directly doing the other, and I am sorry but I have to point that out, because it seems you are not even aware of that.

[kj1225]

Time out!

I made a game.

Okay, time in!

[Sanure]

The muscled man was supposed to enter combat in the form of Skyflame. I did not have that information when I posted the turn, (which I plan on taking down anyways).

I bent a rule once, and you act like I'm ending the world. No, I didn't think that that one decision would have caused this much domino effect. I kinda regret it.  Other than that, I haven't given the enemy any kind of advantage except for the allies having a bit of health lost.

and yeah, I have taken your grievances into account. you and several others wanted Sora's Invisibility nerfed and that will happen. You think that entering into a boss fight with health already lost is not fair, that's fine I'll have PN heal everyone for some health to take away the enemy advantage.

@PN, heal everyone for what you think is fair. I leave it up to you.

I'm also going to retcon the last turn. Adragis still needs to update his sheet (I think) and I didn't have most of the info for the turn anyways, so I don't think that turn matters much on the counting aspect.

Anyways, that's my peace.

[PrivateNomad]

my fault for not giving sanure enough info, i was about to leave
also, still no turn because sick a f. sweating at room temperature sucks

[Sanure]

No worries PN, take your time and just worry about getting better. Health comes first.

[Akroma]

I'll start the IC for the tower of god game towards the weekendish, mostly with some questions regarding the rule design. I already have an idea for a somewhat interesting, almost trading card like design, without dice, but people may not like complicated things

[Akroma]

on a different note, it's a shame we are all currently bound up in a fight. We need a headless horseman halloween special

[USEC_OFFICER]

Do we really need a halloween special at the moment though? The game has barely started, and I don't remember the in-game date being anywhere close to halloween. Plus, you know, actually finishing the fight and having something closer to an actual game instead of a collection of arguments and characters sounds much more important than celebrating some holiday.

_{As an aside, I just realized where your tongue-wiggling avatar came from. I feel vaguely ashamed now.}

[kj1225]

Hey, there's an idea for you Usec. You could make a Dullahal

[USEC_OFFICER]

Oddly enough I had the exact same idea. Though I'm not certain whether I'll actually go through with it or not, just like all of the other character ideas I discarded...

[kj1225]

Do eet

[USEC_OFFICER]

Ugh. But I have so many other characters to make... Like for your martial arts game.
