I have some issues with realism in the game, particularly info that is IC vs. OOC.<br/><br/><br/><br/>1.  How does Erich know that Hiro and Yamina had rough sex?  They were in her bunk away from everyone else.  As far as other characters know, they were hanging out with the Kurita kids, and then they were at the briefing, during which Yamina fidgeted.  It's one thing to be suspicious, but it's another to make the leap that Yamina is backing up Hiro solely because they've been intimate.<br/><br/><br/><br/>2.  What do the<em>players</em>really think of Hiro's initial comments (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=158161.msg7424646#msg7424646) during the briefing?<br/><br/>Did he really come off as arrogant, pompous, superior, egotistical, disrespectful, asshole, dick, etc.?  Because I wasn't going for any of those things at all, and I'm surprised at the reactions.  I mean, Hiro,<em>is</em>cocky, but I wasn't trying to show that during the briefing.<br/><br/>I thought he was just talking tactics, tactics that Lilly thought were obvious (and presumably correct) yet were discredited by Ranna (because of the mech he piloted).<br/><br/>And Hiro said nothing bad about anyone, not until he was attacked, and even then he just threw back whatever was thrown at him.  Like, does Ranna really feel strongly enough to either shoot Hiro during the debriefing or to not help him in a battle because he gave back to her as much lip as he got from her?<br/><br/>Also, Erich said Hiro did stuff during the battle that Hiro clearly didn't do.  And yet somehow the problem is Hiro's ego, not Erich's "facts."<br/><br/>I am kind of confused.  Did Hiro really bring all these reactions on himself?<br/><br/>As an aside, I have no problem with Hiro and Alroy having a scrap to clear the air between them.<br/><br/>I'm just wondering if players are intentionally playing characters who have an irrational hatred for Hiro.  Or if I as a player came off completely differently from what I was going for.<br/><br/>Thanks.<br/>
