I don't think puppeting other players' characters should be a thing in this game.

*this from the guy with a second character so we don't have to wait on drivers. Hypocrisy? Probably*

It's fine, it's an action I was going to do anyway but wasn't physically around to re-post. But it would set a scary precedence.

It's not fine. I am talking 'in general,' rather than 'in gentlefish' particular case. I think hte rule should be "no puppeting, with exceptions." and the exceptions should be carefully controlled.For example, if one gives explicit permission beforehand.

Hence the precedence remark. I was talking about it being fine in my case; I was away and that was the action I was planning on taking, and someone essentially reposted it for me.

Thats basically what I intended anyway. But as was said, Gentle's last action was to make things and he was just unable to make them at the time due to lacking materials. So I effectively pushed his action forward till when it was viable. The people puppeting him was just because I find the image funny.

Yeah; I only did it because he had posted the action at a time it wasn't feasible.  If he hadn't said he would make the armor, Doug would have just gone around berating engineers until they did what he wanted, or maybe had another drink.

Could we use a piece of the crystal to store dead peoples minds until a new body can be built?

I have no objection to that, as a special circumstance. The IC puppeting was never an issue, and I agree, it was funny. I got a kick out of it, anyway.

Seems like half the game is spent trying to get into and out of the Bore, as well as to get the Bore from one place to another.

Isn't the rope still there? Why can't you just use the rope?

I thought it was agreed that you didn't have to roll for stuff like that if you weren't actively being threatened by something.
