I did not say that rpgs with dice, items, skills, and stats are not fun.

Perhaps not, but that was what was implied.

You are just simply looking for things to critisize.

No, I don't want the game to go south as has happened to me twice before. And, as I said, unless someone agrees to have their character 'lose' the battles or unless there are no major battles, things are going to get complicated.

It seems that you want to play a game to win, this is not a game that can be won or lost.

No ****, sherlocke. You can't "win" dice RPGs, either. What I want is to not have others put themselves off as 'combat gods' that win every situation (which I have seen happen.... *cough cough* Angelqueen *cough*) or scenarios in which other players invasively take control of my character (such as your scenario of Slash knocking down Mike without giving me a chance to respond). Trust me, there had better not be any real fights, or there will be problems.

I would prefer you not play just to see it bomb out, so thanks for taking interst anyways.

Are you saying you don't want me to play just because I disagree with your obviously ill-planned methods??? Gee.... and I thought I met Nazi GMs in the past.... still, I'd prefer to play. RPing Mike is just so much fun. And, in all truthfulness, the really combat-heavy RPGs (like the one with Stryker and Ookami) aren't really that fun to begin with (although some fighting is usually good)....

She's never really floan, but she has temporarily levitated herself (how do you think she makes it from roof to roof?) I'm not going to say if Randi can really float or anything like that right *now* Don't wanna give ALL her secrets away.

Heretic: I see..... dun dun dunnnn!!!!! ((dramatic music in background))
Mike: Oh, geez.....

I think there should be no control of other people's characters PERIOD unless permission is givin by that person... or they've been gone for a long ass time.

Ditto. I agree completely.

Thank you! Yes that is exactly it! Jean can easily read Logan or Scott's minds... they have no training (that I know of) to reisist such attempts!

Well, she probably couldn't read Logan's mind unless he let her. He had training like that with Weapon X (not to mention his Zen martial artsy type training). And, the dude's just got a lot of freakin mental endurance anyways....

And just like Jean, Randi can hear things that she calls (snow)... bits a peaces of thoughts. Don't worry I play her FAIRLY, you just better hope other people know how to play thier characters fairly or hell will be upon this rpg...

...and that, my dear, is just common logic.

Yup.

I trust that you will play to the best of your ablity, Lets just see how everyone works together.

We'll see.

I've played in plenty of non-dice RPs and as long as the people have been civil with eachother it's always worked fine.

Yeah, and they do work fine..... as long as there's no real fighting.

Usualy if the player's fighting couldn't figure out between themselves if one charater was going to win, lose. or tie against the other, then it was majority desicion...but most fights I've been in got interupted by something else anyway, so I dunno....anyhoo...

Funny.... I didn't know fights could be decided by spectators. In no way should those kinds of things be the deciding factor. People's wishes and intentions don't really influence the way fights go.
