Open Season (Unionverse Open RP OOC)

this isnt about whether they can survive though, you could have thrown a snowball at him for all i care, i just dont want you deiciding if he gets hit or not, that isnt fair at all

Im happy to carry on Tech, if you are. As far as im aware dodging the attack is fine, and im fine with you countering my dodge. But i would atleast like to be told my toons are gonna get hit before they get hit.

Maybe it was findingout from someone else what had happened that annoyed me so much, and im sorry i had a rant at you. wrong place, wront time Tech, im sorry. But my initial point stand. Please ask before stabbing my toons (still unsure as to how she managed to hit a man facing her in the back anyway), and i will do the same for you. Its common curtosy to let the characters player decide.

So, can we agree that dodging from a dodgable attack is fine, its down to the toons player to decide if a dodgable attack hits? But an undodgable attack requires players, if not permission then notification, before proceeding?

Anyway... godmodding aside, think I'll go move my play away from the mines since that's all gone awkward.

Aw. Just when we get into an argument about law and right too. And you skedaddle the only person to figure a way around the psi-jamming. Harumph, I say. Harumph.

As to the auto-hitting another person's character, there I do have to comment, as it's something I've seen generate bad blood on many occasions. While there are of course exceptions, giving the character's owner a chance to have a say in the matter of whether or not something bad happens to their character is just common courtesy.

However, at least in my opinion, sentiments such as:

Don't get me wrong, I do at times - usually when I want to pull off something more elaborate or lack certain information - but the idea of this sort of plot armor just rubs me the wrong way.

Let's face it - if a character shrugs everything off all the time, combat encounters with said character become very frustrating to other people, as no matter what their characters do, they'll always feel that they lose. Even if the fight itself ends without the "invincible" character actually winning, others will feel lessened and degraded by the experience, and likely without the desire to further interact with the character in question.

So please, in the interest of having entertaining battles, don't deal ill to other people's characters without giving them a chance to do something about it. Likewise, please don't require people to come to you for permission to do your character harm. To paraphrase the character of an old pal of mine, 'For cripe's sake, somebody has to take some damage.'

I'll leave it to CB, as it's his subplot, to have the final stand but I for one would like this debate to not continue solely because everybody has an opinion and if an arguement like this is allowed to go on, here and now, then it may overshadow and embitter the actual RP experience. Kill the fire, end the row and let's go on.

Castle Bathory and the Nighthunter base assaulted and items taken with the permission of Liz and Pious - thanks guys

Sorry to put it on the fight thread when it won't be discovered until afterwards, however I wanted to get it there as it may be discussed ingame (especially as the NHers are having their party tonight) I also left the presence of people in the bases as vague as possible so characters could have been there just briefly knocked out (NHers) or just mystically (thanks to the shard's magic) didn't notice people in the castle taking things.

Oh and while they'd be handy none of Morrighan's stuff would have been nabbed from the NHers as I'm not going to steal needed character specific items for plotty stuff That said, if Lev wants something to have disappeared in the assault that could have happened of course.

So...you two gonna say anything to Big V, or should I just move him past yalls? <_<

Hey CB, if we could get a responce on the Tanks soon as possible for you please the ferals have super strength, just to take into account.

Thank you

The Lances are TRINNITY's contribution to the merc effort. I have asked CB twice and had no reply but if you want me to CB i am happy to remove them. Its your plot after all. But TRINNIY has shown an interest in protecting Tomb, this is how they intend to do it. As well as try to prove to Tomb she'd be better off working with them. Basically its no different to the mercs or Kimi being there.

Now, as for the Lance itself. Any technopath can sence its just a machine, however if they tried to talk to it they would get nothing but screams of agony and be pushed out. Someone is in there already. And yes it has several weaknesses, but no im not gonna tell you what just because that would be far too easy for you and no fun.

lol, well hope that the mech can run like mad because i do believe a volcano just exploded right next to it, run for ze hills!!! oh wait...that just exploded...get to da choppa!!

Maria wouldn't be known to them. Nor would Lawrence. Leon is the only one who would have any information stored anywhere, due both to his cropping up on the British side near the end of WW2 and his more recent appearance in Paragon.

Maria and Lawrence, meanwhile, have kept their heads down throughout history, doing their own things and dealing with anyone who tried to cross them in their own personal ways.
Obviously a vampire, yes. Known, no.

Ah, fair enough Tech, didnt know that, will edit now

Not one of Patsy's better days, is it?

She's doing well compared to some of the others

Okay Techbot, what gives? I get that your characters are supposed to be vampires and all noble and aloof and stuff, so if they don't want to interact with Big V, that's fine. But you could at least have them not blatantly ignoring him. That's just plain rude.

Aw c'mon Bunny, you too? Sigh...okay, fine. I can take a hint.

Understood. I'll be sure to make a note of that. I've got trouble keeping up myself from time to time, so I know how that feels, heh.

And thanks for the edit, Techbot. Much obliged.

I mean, you've known me on SH102 how long now? Heh, don't sweat it man.
