<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>Combat:</strong></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">Okay, so for those of you in the bar, there is going to be a combat scene coming up. To square off against opponents fairly, what we'll do is have you make die rolls with Elliquiy's dice roller (Dice bot link at the top of the E header). Roll one D20 and send the results to rick and I. Please go ahead and let us know the action you would like to take as well. We'll use this system any time we have two players who are at odds over something, as Delilah and Abigail were. In the future, we'll have a die roll to determine outcome.So for example, perhaps Micheal's character doesn't want to engage in combat, but to roll out of the way of the lupine's attack, or maybe he wants to do something else, we'll still roll a die and look at the results before we announce what happens. If you roll to attack and are successful, then we'll okay you narrating your successful attack or may post and describe the results for you, whichever seems most expedient.<br/><br/><strong>On holding off posting to wait for other players/characters: </strong><br/><br/>This is admirable and polite, but I'd suggest we not make this a habit UNLESS people announce in the OOC that they are super busy or otherwise unable to post for a bit. I'm not going to halt the game entirely for anyone, but we can work with those who announce absences. When people don't post for a long period of time, or even stay logged out of E for a long period of time, I think it is foolish for us to try to accommodate them. If we get messages in OOC, or if I or Rick receive PMs for players asking for slow down or pauses, then he and I can work with those; if people abandon their characters with no explanation for a week or more, those players can expect to have their characters written around or moderately taken control of for a bit. We won't kill people outright until there has been obvious game abandonment. That said, remember we asked for 3 post/week minimum. We're not booting people who don't meet that because as characters are at times in different locations, etc., people may not have a reason to post multiple times per week, but everyone ought to be able to make a weekly post. This isn't meant to be pissy, just an announcement of our expectations in order to be able to keep the game moving at a decent clip. Rick and I both realize that E is not anyone's first priority, but we would ask that if you can't make the once per week post, please just let us know. We won't pry or ask why, but just keep us in the loop so we can make intelligent decisions as GMs for the direction of our story. <br/><br/>@ Aurora, yeah, I freaking hate bugs. So I thought I'd inflict them on the rest of you. </span>
