So hypothetical bad ends aren't even allowed in the velvet room?

...

No wonder it's dead.

No, hypothetical Bad Ends are allowed, I'm just not so sure about controlling other people's characters....

If it has no effect on the actual RP there is no problem to be had. Velvet Room is a safe zone.

[lantzblades]

No, I'm adamant about spoilers. Just deal with it and stop asking.

[Kurogami]

 It would be a bit difficult for some of us to write bad end snips without using other peoples' characters.

[Brahmastra]

So since you won't explain shit, you're just gonna have to roll with that we assume things about your character(s). Pick your poison.

[Kurogami]

I am not asking for any spoilers, I am just asking for some basic understanding of how Satoshi works mechanically.

When one posts a character in any RP it comes with an implicit requirement that one be willing to explain certain things about one's character should it become relevant.

It is bad form in a way to take an action and then refuse to divulge the mechanics behind that action when asked.

In many other RPs refusal to give an adequate explanation for how you did something would result in that action being invalidated.

I cannot say anything about this one but it is in general bad manners and a disservice to all the other players to post a character you are unwilling to tell anyone anything about.

In terms of what you do, yeah. In terms of dictating what another person's character would do, I'm not so sure. I think it is still only fair to allow a player to decide what happens to their character.

Well, you just get them to play along with it. It is still meant to be an RP thread, after all, just for things that aren't canonical but are fun anyway.

[Gray]

I thought there was no canon in that place guys. That's why I thought I could screw with characters it would get retconned immediately the next time that person posted.

[lantzblades]

It does not matter how he's the primary existence Kuro, he just is. His physical state doesn't change because of the temporal shift he's involved in.

[Gray]

"he just is" listen to yourself. Please listen to yourself. When you have to say that you know you've done something wrong.

[lantzblades]

No Gray, I'm just pointing out that it's irrelevant

[Gray]

Then spill the beans already. I don't care about spoilers I get offhad spoilers from friends for like half the things I watch. They don't affect me.

[lantzblades]

It's irrelevant to the RP why. And it doesn't matter what is ok with you. It's not ok with me.

[Brahmastra]

No Gray, I'm just pointing out that it's irrelevant

No you're not, you're refusing to or is unable to explain how your own character works. And if your character is reliant on spoilers to explain how it works and you're concerned about that, you shouldn't have used him to begin with.

[Elf]

Hey Lantz, I think it would be only fair to give up some details.

I mean, I have no problem explaining things about Forest and Ash when people ask even though its spoilery of my own work.

It helps others plan for the game or spawn ideas.  Not to mention it's a show of trust to fellow gamers.

[Puck-Chan]

What Elf said. By every means, you owe everyone an explanation for why the character is OP as it is. You don't have to give out everything. Just pick out the stuff  that's adequate enough for explanation. Shouldn't be too hard if you made this character.

Because if you don't, your character will perpetually be called out as a Mary Sue. It's that simple.
