Timetravel causes migraines. Fact.

That's one of the ways of looking at it yes, and a common one as it avoids most of the pitfalls. Another option, and I think this is the one they've gone with in-game; is that you can go back and change things, because you already HAVE.

Everything anyone going in to the past could have done has already been done by them, ergo you MUST go back in time to do it again for the first time.

... And there's the headache...

Say you went back in time intending to shoot your grandfather, the good old grandfather paradox. Well, instead, when you met him, you actually got along with the guy and changed your mind. You became best friends and when you eventually get back to your own time zone, you'll look through some old photo's and boom, you're in them; playing cards with grandad or something!

Ok Hates your the only other group that isn't comprised of self centered mercs and petty thieves. But your still not a classic evil organisation. Your anarchists XD

Your classical evil organisation wants to rule the world for some simple ideological reason such as: "We don't like democracy". Which is GLEE's general attitude

That's fine if you're going to use the new skin, but I'm using the default MonoBook skin, and will continue too as I need minimal graphics at work. For me, all the categories are now at the very bottom of the page; they used to be at the top.

I find it regretable that the catagories are dropped to the bottom.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I agree. They really should be at the top, just under the banner.

I shall demand extra hugs next time I come up to visit!!

Hugs can be arranged, are you going to Memorabelia?

[/ QUOTE ]

Alas, no. Too many expensive things have happened in the last month or so, and I just can't afford it.

You have a real villain doing a real villanous scheme. Be heroes and put a stop to it instead of whining like little emo children.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or, we have a pipsqueek character who's about as evil as Sooty, being mildly irritating and OOCly is ignoring the wishes of his fellow players.

No one likes a god modder. Feel free to continue, but watch the numbers of those who will RP with you dwindle.

Exactly. We have no problem with a villain running around causing problem. The ONLY problem is having stuff forced on us with no warning or consent, and that forces us to break character to ignore it.

Who's to say? I never have had much of a good opinion regarding DJ's.

Or, it would appear, much regard for your fellow RPers either.

[ QUOTE ]
All this has done for me so far is show me why villain groups tend to be self centered mercs and petty thieves...

Theres just no appreciation for real villainy.

[/ QUOTE ]

Where's the villainy? It runs it's course in 2 weeks without really harming anyone; so it's more an annoyance than villainy.

Villainy would have had it being a fatal plague. And there have been PLENTY of good decent evil plots in the past that managed to be both really REALLY villainous, and NOT try to godmod the entire community.

[ QUOTE ]
Well Terror is a mad scientist. That means a high level of disregard for the consequences of his actions so his ignoring of Zero and his rules isn't a stretch of imagination.


[/ QUOTE ]

But it's a pretty big stretch that Zero wouldn't find out and do something about it.

[ QUOTE ]

And heres a hint for people: Actually trying to stop Terror will work a lot better than out of character whining.

[/ QUOTE ]

So if someone returns the favour and godmods YOU by turning Terror into a greasy stain on the club window, you won't ignore that?

Sure you will.

[ QUOTE ]
They don't stop people bringing in guns. Or stop people who pump out radiation, electricity, fire, etc from entering.


[/ QUOTE ]

Their power effects are suppressed, so that they can't harm others.

[ QUOTE ]

And if people want to stop me. Do it IC

[/ QUOTE ]

Why should we bother? Far easier for us to just ignore it as another random plot that isn't really happening. I mean, you're ignoring our wishes with regards to RPing, so we can ignore yours.

It's nothing to do with having problem with a so called "genuine evil plot", and everything to do with trying to godmod people without their consent; and ignoring game canon to an extend that really breaks immersion.

If you want your plot, fine. Keep it to people who WANT to be involved, and out of areas which are SAFE. Game canon says you cannot come to hard in Pocket D; therefore your plaque is nuetralised and cannot affect anyone.

[ QUOTE ]
One of the main reasons I decided to roll with this is because its always annoyed me seeing people who play characters who cannot be affected by anything in the enviroment around them. Having to respond to something beyond their control is not something they ever do. So it will be interesting to see how they respond to not being in control.


[/ QUOTE ]

So instead you choose to ignore others wishes and godmod their characters? I was pretty sure that was your intent, thank you for the confirmation. So if one of my characters is infected, or one of their close friends, you're happy with them killing yours in retaliation? Because that is what would happen as an IC consequence.

BTW, Godmodders are generally not appreciated by the RP community. Nobody likes being forced into plots, and nobody wants things to happen to their characters without permission. I would suggest not continuing with this plot as it is, unless you WANT to end up ignored forever more by a large proportion of the community.

[ QUOTE ]
4: If this affects every single pump, aren't you kind of forcebly involving anyone who goes to PD to drink to be part of this plot?


[/ QUOTE ]

I have to ask this question too. Even if it's only the pumps Professor Terror is serving at, you're still forcing a plot on to people who might not want to take part, or even aren't aware of it; this is called god moding and plots of this nature have frequently led to arguments in the past.

Of course, some people will happily go along; but others will be extremely annoyed at having something forced on them. Depending on their style of roleplay, they'll either then be forced to go along, manifesting symptoms they really don't want just to stay IC; or they'll have to break character so that they can ignore it.

Also, remember; Pocket D is a safe zone. Canon says your characters cannot come to harm, or BE harmed whilst in there, so this plague shouldn't actually be working anyway.

I think it would be prudent to post a fully up-to-date ISO on the FTP server, myself.

It hasn't been on the front page of the wiki but it was posted on this forum in the Inquirer thread.

Aaah, that's probably where I saw it then.

I've definately read the Demon in Day Care article before; and I don't read Nightsparrow's scrapbook...

I possibly am, but it seems VERY familiar!

That's an old article! Been posted on the Wiki front page before!

I agree completely, Pious. Far better a tiny bit of inconvenience than wholesale vandalism.
