I do have a request.. a few actually..<br/><br/>First, I'm willing to let social matters work out as in the book.. and willing to take my licks if my character doesn't have social defenses.. that's part of the game.. I don't have an issue with it<br/><br/>But.. we don't need to jump into them every time we want to try to convince one another IC..  I understand that some of the PC's are very socially oriented, but they don't need to start using charms and social combat to convince other PC's from the get go... as you can see.. it can create hard ooc feelings if you do it all of a sudden... I'm sort if with Corinthi about feeling it's it suddenly being forced down my throat...<br/><br/>I'm also with Anja, in that I think we should try to engage some matters, without needing to engage in charm use, unless the discussion get's tense.. and, if I have to crank out the books for every little word and discussion IC, then like her, I'm not interested in continuing to play...   As Rhapsody said, I'm in this for Roleplay, not Rollplay..<br/><br/>Another issue I have, is that when IC it might seem ok to my character, when you engage in Social Combat suddenly like this, it creates a OOC desire for me to fight it.. which sort of ruins some of the immersion into the game setting that I enjoy.  At the very least, give us some ooc warning that this is important to your character, and your going to engage in social combat, to get the rest of us prepared for the idea before you engage it it.  Table top it would be a simple, you start out by saying your going to make a Join battle roll for social combat, before you make the roll.   I mean, if you were about to tell the ST that you were suddenly going to attack someone, everyone would need to make join battle rolls for that...<br/><br/>Also, this is the first issue of the matter, lets not get to upset about it this time.. it's the first time, we're still feeling things out, in terms of group dynamics, IC and OOC.<br/><br/>My other request, don't drop out too quickly Anja, or anyone else, lets see where everything goes first.. if this sort of thing continues, then I'm going to have to drop out with you.<br/><br/>
