Also, it's more trying to control other people's characters that gives that impression. Like the whole thing with Zacherus going into the room with Zack and Minako- he asked, and none of the characters said he couldn't, but you kept shutting it down.

I apologise for playing devil's advocate here, as I do agree with you and SB, but it's just a little rude to head into someone's room without an invitation.

However, yes, to add my two cents, Fish, you're getting way too controlling of other people's characters. It is not your call to decide if something is done or not, unless it is done to your characters specifically. That call belongs to the GM.

In that case, he could have pointed it out in-character instead of taking control of Zacherus. It is Alan's room too.

[TheBiggerFish]

Don't bother giving him bait, it never ends well. Ever.

I can attest.

I'm allowed to freak out at the possibility of another...off-kilter character.  "Ideas" and all.  Thanks.

...No you aren't? It's not your responsibility to guage every character we even suggest bringing into the game on whether or not they fit your standards of whatever the hell "kilter" means to you??
What are you even talking about?

I'm sorry, I think you're confusing "freaked out because someone threatened !!ideas!!" with "actual sanely developed opinion on this subject".  I don't actually oppose crazyabe making a third character if it opens up and Adragis approves, but I don't like the...special breed of imagination...implied with "ideas".

Uh, no, he tried to slip something in on my character without telling me he was going to do so beforehand.  Zacherus never went in the room, nor did he try to, IIRC.

I'm going to go hunt down the quotes in question.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

I did agree with you on that point, Twin, if you did look at the quote. At least, I assume it was implied. >_>
The use of the word "ideas" is perfectly valid. And you're on the Bay12Forums, the forums that came out with such gems as Boatmurdered. Do you, honestly, expect sane ideas?

Half-seriously, I don't think you've been here long enough if you still think people come up with sane ideas.

More to the point, there are better and less egregious ways of mending situations than hamfistedly taking control of the other's characters.

I looked already. He did come, but then you said he didn't, and it was only after that that they said that the eye was on Alan's shoulder.

To answer your question: No, but I still freak out anyway.
Also, it's " "ideas" ", not just, you know, "ideas".  The threat of ideas, as emphasized by fingerquoting motions, is different from the word ideas.  Eh.  Internetymology aside, can we just drop the subject?  I overreacted a bit in response to what was probably a joke to begin with.

Geez.  My apologies then.

I'm sorry, but I don't like the...special breed of 'everyone cater themselves to me'...implied with "OH ARMOK NO. NEVER."

[smurfingtonthethird]

Pro-tip: it's much easier to deal with unwanted guests by barking their heads off in game than it is to screw with their character. Most times they'll back off instantly.

Yeah.  I really could have worded that better.  Again, I apologize, now can we drop it?

Oookay.

Also, how did Teresha break the dress code? I did specify that her skirt as knee-length.

[Twinwolf]

I think the point has been made and we can drop it now. Just saying.

[Powder Miner]

Hmm... Adragis, if I could make a suggestion, speeding up the pace of the game a little might be good for giving people something to do instead of sow chaos left and right.

Yeah, I really do think you're right.

But Chaos = FUN

[TheBiggerFish]

Aha.  Found it.
Zacherus never explicitly left the common room before showing up at the dorm.  That...Probably triggered the nope.  Very much an overreaction on my part.
Once again, mea culpa, but seriously, if you're going somewhere, go there, don't just suddenly show up.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We've spent weeks on a day.

There is a point where this ceases to be true.
