Vergil – I want to say that really appreciate the level of interest, involvement and enthusiasm you have put into this venture. From my observations, though, almost 100% of it is introspective and reactive and it is about what Cass feels rather than what she can do. And clearly, there’s a few assumptions thrown in.<br/><br/>If you put just 1/10th of the effort into what she can<em>do</em>instead of what she<em>feels</em>all the time, we would all be so much better for it. Not only would it give valuable ideas and feedback to your teammates, but it would give me something to work with as well.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=269827.msg13431147#msg13431147">Quote from: Snake on 16-08-2017, 22:09:58</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I can adapt to whatever situation crops up, but I admit I did metagame a tiny bit; and I apologize for that.

It’s the execution I want to address. Consider this; when Alec is sneaking through the forest, he doesn’t know that he rolled a 4. He just knows that he made his best attempt and hopes for the best. Now, this is a fluid environment, so I don’t mind if you use that information and conclude that 4 is such a poor result and you try to improvise with something like “he steps on a twig and there is a loud crack [Stealth = 4], so Alec decides to wander directly in the camp and announce that he is 'a bit lost'.”. Yeah, that’s still a little metagamey, but I’m ok with that because he now owns the result and has built on that.<br/><br/>What I don’t want is for you to conveniently pretend the Stealth check never existed because it was bad and change your intentions and tactics along with it. In addition to metagaming, that situation also gave the impression that you weren’t a team player and did something entirely different to the rest of the group for no particular reason. And that wasn’t entirely correct either. And since Alec was out in the open after failing a Stealth roll, Sena quickly followed suit and she jumped in both boots and definitely upped the ante.
