I don't think any change should be made. I appreciate the plot peoples decision to try and give the people who have problem a different option, but if to them its not a good one we are better off with the status quo. I appreciate the thought tho.

Translation: Whine before asking for clarification.



Translation: Let me throw some sarcasm on my previous whining to make it seem like I 'm not whining.



Translation: Let's point out the worst case scenerio that can only happen if the clarification is completely unreasonnable - which has never been the case with Chris or the Isles staff.



Translation: A thinly veiled threat to quit. As Brian pointed out, if giving you ANOTHER option (which fits in perfectly with the way you've been playing it ANYway) is a reason to quit, there are bigger problems to discuss.

I calls 'em as I sees 'em, folks.

Todd, you're my oldest friend and I love ya, but you veered way out in left field on this one. You've called me on doing that plenty in the past so I figure you can take it.

Anyway, time for me to go to work.

Have a nice day, all! Happy Friday!

All right ...

Where to start ...

Dwayne - Chill out. Your (next to) last post was not really constructive.
Well, it coul have been, but you put your own take on it, which served
no real constructive purpose.

The Rule & It's Applications -
I expect people to play by the actual accelerant rules, unless you have a
physical disability that impacts play. My NPC's hit the ground time after time
during the events, dirt - mud - or grass. You all know we do our best to keep things
in safe areas, we do our best to avoid mud during the events. Dwayne's note about squatting
as opposed to actually taking a knee - completely acceptable to me. As much as anything,
it is about letting the person who attacked you know that you got the effect.
Everyone knows the frustration of not having an attack acknowledged - be it a maim,
agony, whatever. Sure, you get to take the points back if they don't acknowledge the
call by taking the effect or by calling a resistance. But if you think you are just
being ignored - that gets to you after a while. The NPC's are no different.

In many ways, we all have gotten much better at playing by the accelerant rules.
In other ways, we are starting to get sloppy as well. See my new post about casting
Wizardry ...

In the greater scope of this discussion, unless there is something important
to add or bring up - let's put this to rest.

These rules will be used in Playtest application. If they don't work out,
we'll let everyone know. We want you, the players, to be able to enjoy the game.
We hope that this helps a little bit.
