This should go without saying, folks:<br/><br/>If there is something that somebody else posts that you don't like, or that takes the scene in a direction that you don't like, you are allowed to speak up about it.  We're all adults here, and even with all the high-end cinematic violence it is important to show consideration to one's fellow players.<br/><br/>There used to be something explicit about this in older versions of the rules.  I'm not sure why it was taken out, but in this case it is probably a good thing to have around.  So for your consideration, here's the text of the<strong><span class="bbc_u">Veto Rule</span></strong>(from Wushu Open Reloaded)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">It doesn’t quite go all the players’ way though. The problem with an unfettered PoNT is that old chestnut of the kid who brings a “forcefield” to a game of Cops and Robbers. Wushu requires everyone to be (mostly) on the same page about what is and is not appropriate for the game you’re playing. Wushu is great at genre emulation, provided that everyone gets what the conventions of that genre are (and which are applicable to that particular game). However, it doesn’t provide any mechanical means by which to enforce those conventions - except the<br/>Veto.<br/><br/><strong>Veto</strong><br/>“If a description doesn’t feel right, anyone can Veto it.”<br/><br/>Everyone around the table, not just the GM, wields the right to Veto anyone else’s description at any time. This includes a player Vetoing a GM’s description. You could look at this as completely invalidating the freedom of the PoNT, and turning every game into a legislative session of trying to pass your descriptions through the House of your group, but that’s not how it happens in practice. This is why it’s so important that everyone is on the same page.<br/><br/>Rather, the Veto should serve as a flag that people aren’t on the same page, and is an opportunity for everyone to get it straight. It’s a chance to say “hang on a minute,” and check that you’re all still playing the same game. Cos shy of telepathy, we’re only ever working on shared approximations of what everyone else is thinking.<br/><br/>The Veto doesn’t have to be a negative thing. Sometimes you might have an idea on how to jazz someone else’s narrative up. In that case, a Veto might be a subtle “Hey, might it be cooler if…”<br/><br/>When a Veto is used, the person Vetoed should describe again, amending their original narrative to fit the new consensus. </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
