No, users are always allowed to do whatever they want. I try to have as many paths as possible per scenario,

Hmm. In some ways this is a good thing, but rarely do your choices lead to "bad" or "unfavourable" outcomes. When things start to take a turn for the worse, some coincidence or plot device will exist to save the characters.

If you want my opinion, don't be afraid to be the "bad guy" and say that no help is coming.

Is it now? This doesn't just apply to Azi. I still regret the two times my characters could and should have killed Annie Wells when given motive - so maybe avoiding bad ends isn't such a bad thing. Would you still have played Broken World if Anja had killed Annie in that burning bar?

I have a bit of bias though, since I subscribe to the psychological tragedy "hope/despair" fanfare.

I am happy ur character didn’t kill my character. She would have escaped.

I think I read ur post wrong. I thought u said about being a bad charater. -Dances-

She was trapped and unconcious in a burning building after botching an attack on a trained killer, if memory serves.


Edit: Hmm. Nope, I'm simply sugesting that maybe we shouldn't coddle characters.

One time I was RPing as this tribe that had managed to capture Annie. Annie was part of a rival tribe that had been fighting them for centuries, and was basically working to bring about the apocalypse, or eternal darkness, or something like that. If she was an NPC, they would have executed her, but I'm just too nice and had to have them brand her instead.

I will remember this. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

West,
Goods points, they are understandable and reasonable. And you'd be right regarding coincidences and plot devices. I tend to have Plan B and Plan C at all times, just in case. This is to keep the adventure going. If characters lose, then what? I suppose they could go for a prison escape of some sort, which is planned for Wake Up if we reach such a chance.

I'm just trying to see if users are enjoying the RP, considering I have yet to merge the characters' plots thus far and am obviously having some difficulty. Currently, I am also rather fatigued for some reason.
