Naw, I kid. Kinda.

Well, at least now the sheet is much clearer. That's a thing.

[Alice]

Honestly, even with those conditions I still question that sheet being approved. It's too OP, how it violates Nasuverse canon is atrocious, and I don't trust lantz to play him responsibly even with those conditions in place.

...So much for there being no drama for a month...

[YOLF]

I think Elf's conditions eliminate most of the inherent problems, honestly.

There are characters in this RP that could do a lot as villains that Satoshi couldn't stop, for one.
*wink wink nudge nudge*

[Elf]

I think Elf's conditions eliminate most of the inherent problems, honestly.

I went over the conditions with Cherry before posting them, and if anyone is in Lantz's corner it's him.

[YOLF]

Well, I think they work.

Now, less drama and more RPing. Elf, Mooncake, let's get things moving at the bar?

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

after ab it of alcohol that sheet becomes p funny

stole mordred's sword to do it right this time pff hahaha

i'm sorry I can't

and his weaknesses haha
1: the ability possessed by enkidu and that one class in FF5 no one ever used, because dressing up like sheep is lame
2: Something else, lot ciontrivance or something

Satoshi being beaten up by sheepmen is the cool part

Just imagine

so fluffy

[lantzblades]

My characters act when they see an issue, if other characters don't like a strong sense of self and a lack of hesitation it's no skin off my rear. My characters are who they are, I never said anyone had to like or follow them, heroes are heroes they can't succeed all the time, intent matters a lot though.

Also, Satoshi versus Sheep man...

I could see Sheep man winning, as I recall he's weak to baseballs, not fire.

edit: elf had nothing to do with it Arch, my company took Ill thanks to a mutual friend giving him the sick and that freed up time to write it up.

as for the rest of the sheets they aren't exactly unclear so I don't expect they need editing.

[Alice]

Then that's a violation of Condition Two. On those grounds, I say that's licence for Toshi's approval to be undone. She made those conditions for a reason. You have no right to go over the GM's head here. 

[lantzblades]

What the fuck are you talking about Alice?

[Alice]

Satoshi's new Sheet has been approved but I do have a few conditions.

I do want you aware that I'm a bit leery about approving this; Satoshi is very over-powered.

Condition Number One: No Rider Arm.  Please do not activate it in the RP proper.  It can be used for comedic effect in the Velvet Room, but please refrain from using it in the RP.

Condition Number Two: I am the GM here, not you.  So please do not be surprised if people act differently than you want.  This isn't a fanfic.  If you want that, you're more than free to go write it on your own.  People have a right to refuse an "event" you want to do.  Also, please don't have Satoshi butt in and "save the day".  See the recent thing with Lucas and trying to validate MOS Shirou after he tried to kill Hakuno.  Also if someone wants their character to stay dead, please don't have Satoshi do a Fate/Stay Jesus.  So, no means no.

Condition Number Three: Protection of the Elements- I'll allow it, but it has to fail on occasion.  It cannot be a fail safe; that makes it smack too much of a Godmode Cheat here.

Now this last thing I want to say goes to all the players- Please treat everyone how you would like to be treated.  Golden rule people.  If you have a problem with a character and how they're being played please bring it up.  However be polite about it.  Saying that they're fucking up and god fuck shit damn holy bitch christ doesn't help anyone.  However going, "Well, I don't agree with how you're writing Character A, seems OCC" is a bit better.

Have I made myself clear?

These. You know, the things you have to do in order for Toshi to be playable? You just violated Condition Two of that by saying what you just did.

[YOLF]

Oi oi, let's calm down shall we?

Lantz is basically just stating that "Satoshi will try to be a hero when he can regardless of failure or whatever the outcome is". Contriving him to always be the hero in the RP is a different thing, so let's wait and trust in lantz to not shove Satoshi into those situations anymore.

Also, Alice, I think you should take another short break from this at least and really relax. I realize you're personally fed up, but I can see you're terribly stressed over this and it isn't healthy for you.
M'kay?

[lantzblades]

Um, no, no I didn't. I said my characters act the the way they do and if other characters don't like that it doesn't bother me, nor does my characters failing or succeeding.

recently Satoshi failed with Lucas because he was Ill informed. I'm not bothered by that, it's what happened.

I'm saying regardless of the outcome I will play my characters in character.

edit: this was replying to Alice

[Cherry Lover]

Lantz, what Elf is saying is that Toshi can't solve every single problem himself. The RP is no fun for anyone else if it's just the Toshi show. The stuff with Lucas, for example, there was no need for Toshi to just jump in there and attempt to resolve it on his own, everyone else was doing just fine and was enjoying RPing it.

Hell, it even says on your sheet that Toshi doesn't usually help unless asked, so you can't really call it out of character....

[lantzblades]

No character can solve everything by themselves, nor did he try with Lucas, he was given information and acted because as far as he knew no one else had done so and because they had not given him all the information he made a mistake.

Further if a hero does not try, especially in a situation where some ding dong kicks in the door and starts trouble, then he can't really be a hero. And succeed or fail Satoshi is a hero. He'll always try to deal with the issues at hand when they are thrown in his face.

he's not fixing everything but he won't ignore the world around him. Four people are dead in game at this point . Ignoring the events and attacks would be completely out of character as they have been dropped at his feet.

[Cherry Lover]

Lantz, Satoshi wanting to help is fine, but what you can't do is just have Toshi basically make everyone else obsolete. Toshi can't be the only good guy in the RP whose actions actually matter, that is extremely dull for everyone else.
