This is more fun than listening to the "Drifters" OP, 'Gospel of the full throttle', while wondering what it would sound like in Brooklyn-accented ochopella.

Mhm.
Yes.

The situation can be bypassed via role-play. Simply role-play as to go beyond the situation, that's all you have to do.

Mhm. Yes, I can delete the posts, it's quite easy to do, but you are wrong, it's not the only way, you can simply depict your characters going somewhere else or doing something else. Yes, you can continue the RP without resolving.

I don't know what powerplaying means, if you view it as an obstacle, get around it, or dismiss it. Helping and saving can be used interchangeably in this case, I am helping and saving.

Said what? I was unable to find out what you are referencing, and then what I referenced. Yes, I had permission.

There is no underhandedness, but you are welcome to view my actions as immature. This goes back to what I already said earlier: I felt obligated to do something significantly drastic to help everyone, but if you view my intended utility as exploitative, I can't help you. Complaining and bigotry mean nothing to me; I can't take complaints or bigotry seriously, so I dismiss such behaviour unless it wants me to do something; people need to be honest to get my attention. Certainly.

Freedom of speech and expression supersedes written and unwritten rules.

No, all other characters are not the same to me.

I know their backstories and powers, I read their bios.

You're welcome, but I don't know what you mean by discounting your characters uniqueness. Uniqueness isn't really a thing, my own bios are not unique, you can compare anything to anything else.

I like exciting characters, so I try to create excitement for other people as well.

Yes, the thread master has absolute authority to do whatever one wishes.

No, Wolf did not say laser beam through the situation. No. Yes, and intend to help I did.

All facts hold up. I've read all lines. Yes, I do do whatever I want in this case, but I go beyond issues, because I don't view issues as bad, I view them as obstacles necessary to overcome.

The wolves know because, in the intended backstory I had planned, they know of the meaning of the Ember Moon, involved with the wolves that raised Magnulfus. As Wolf said, the Obsidian Knights are loyal to the king, the Obsidian Knights are not planned to consist of one faction and some communicate with the beasts, spreading knowledge. They knew of Darius and the names of the children before they were teleported to earth, know their smell, and recognized them. Yes, they do.

Indeed, and not a type of character. There are not specifications of type.

I find that to be a rather weak argument, it's not like a thread master is forced to react to a post. No matter how dynamic or remarkable something is, the thread master does not have to adhere to what goes on.

No, I never played D&D, a vast majority of role-playing occurred here, and a fraction at RolePlayGateway.

All your points are reasonable. I'm pretty sure a thread master can control or dismiss anything, we are not confined by D&D rules.

We are not going by stats though, but I can see your analogy, I think, though multiple people can easily beat a master martial artist to a bloody pulp. Recently, a UFC fighter was seriously beaten by a small group of thugs without any martial arts background. Similarly, a group of lions can kill an adult elephant, a few wolves can eventually kill even a grizzly bear; they don't go by stats or a fixed probability.

Mhm.

If you are outnumbered, a small group of people can simply form themselves into a tight rectangle, and then charge at the same time, so that one end goes forth, piercing a much larger formation. This tactic was done from Ancient Times to the 19th century. You can also move sideways, forcing the larger force to gradually jumble together if they continue heading for you.

In our case, the users involved can dismiss the enemy and move on.

Your example was still good. But there isn't any chaos, I remember what's going on, and there's knights and a military camp nearby, which can react to the situation, fighting the beasts and allowing the teens to escape, for example.

Of course. It was necessary to incorporate a larger scale of the scenario to get it moving.

Indeed, I should not have the authority, but I had the permission. Everyone else is significant, but since most users have done nothing other than depict their character run away, I felt it was necessary to do something about it as quickly and as conveniently as possible. You accused me of derailing the thread, so I felt it was necessary to re-rail it.

You don't need to apologize for anything.

You're welcome.

Not really, I just spent a lot of time on their backstories, but appearance-wise, they are unremarkable. My first bio was compared with two other Game of Thrones characters, so I don't see how he's a unique special snowflake character, and Zaria is based off a typical fantasy armoured lady, and her backstory is more stereotypical as well. I don't think my two characters make other users' characters any less than what they are, they are all just as important as everyone else.

I like the idea of multiple people bringing in such extra content, especially if it's a challenge, because it forces everyone to stay on their toes. Fantasy genres do expand and grow, becoming more complex as it progresses. Effort should also be used to gradually empower characters, I think you could have done that.

Yes, if a 9-foot purple giant fought in Mordor, that would change things, but it would make an interesting fight against the armoured trolls.

And they did destroy it, their quest was successful.

But the giant would not be able to fight through armies or the dragons or trolls alone. But yes, if he did manage to fight through everything, somehow, it does negate the purpose of the hobbits, but most hobbits were not used anyways, though the Scourging of the Shire in the book mentions a battle.



Wolfpack, page 1622
You don't have to apologize. I see, nvm then.

I am also laid-back and easy-going, I've never rejected a character, and always allowed users to do whatever they want, even if it means straying away from the purpose of the thread. That works, I always figured that dismissing a post is the best way to continue a role-play.
