				Sorry bit of a oversight on my part with the names. Just to keep it simple I’ll change my characters false name to his real name. This means he introduces himself as Mike Gamble. Otherwise were stuck with two John's in a RP

				Good plan, didn't bother me though, confusion is always funny in RP's. "John?" "Yes?" "Yes?" Hehe. Your choice though.

				*chuckles* I'm not sharing a name with any man... ;)<br><br>So, yeah, I figured I'd use my favourite J.T. Edson line. And do I get a prize for the first gunfight? I thought I was rather restrained actually. Of course, if anyone asks her, Sara was aiming for his shoulder. If she's forced to tell the truth, she wasn't. She was aiming for his heart and missed!<br><br>Just out of interest, do our new guys know what a NPC is and how to use one?

				I mean like I did in my post. Basically NPCs are totally expendable as innocent bystanders, victims, rivals, other players at the card game (especially ones who accuse the dealer of cheating), the bar staff, dancing girls, whores, etc... So if you want to shoot someone (like I did), you just create a NPC, have them call your character out, and shoot them.<br><br>It's kind-of obvious really, but I don't know how much experience you guys have.

				an NPC is a Non-Player Character, and you use an NPC just like you would your OC, though in most cases it's only a temporary usage, like in my post a second ago, I doubt i'll be using the Bartender again soon. :P

				Not sure how Xanthaine normally runs her RPs, but the normal way is to either have NPCs as common property, available for anyone to play whenever they feel like it (as with our bar tender), or to have individuals claim specific NPCs and play them, allowing them to interact with other players.<br><br>The former is great for encounters such as the ones in the bar. The latter is best for times when, perhaps, a player character and a NPC have some sort of physical relationship.<br><br>That's just my opinion, by the way!

				"The Only thing stopping me killing you and taking it..." Is that you are a PLAYER character. A NPC would be dead already!<br><br>Get real, hand the money over! Unless you have a derringer up your sleeve in a card-hold-out.... Youir character is out-numbered and out gunned! BAD mistake following Raven around the bank!

				So am I the only one posting in this OOC thread?<br><br>Just wanted to say to the new folks the reason for my previous post in this thread...<br><br>It's generally considered bad form to kill another player's character without asking their permission first, unless the RP rules allow for it.<br><br>That said, if the player in question has dropped out, the character becomes a NPC and is fair game!<br><br>HOWEVER: When you are dealing with a bunch of ruthless killers, if your character does something incredibly dumb like walk unarmed up to a frustrated bank robber with a suitcase full of money, then you really are asking for it!<br><br>Just so people know. I'm pretty sure Amazon and Apple will be with me on this one; for the sake of realism, any more foolish heroics are likely to result in someone needing a new character, unless the GM steps in and says something!

				Its hardly foolish "heroics" to offer you lot a boat load of cash for a job. Even if you are ruthless killer there is no reason to shoot him right now. Unless ofc you’re playing a truly insane blood loving nutcase that loves blowing peoples limbs off, in which case carry on and blow my brains out because there’s now way a character like that will spend more than a few days with a group

				*chuckles*<br><br>Thanks for replying... <br><br>When I RP I try to get into the head of the character I'm playing, whether it is a ruthless killer, a sadistic dominatrix or a docile slave. In this partucular circumstance, when faced with the person who had just walked off with <em>my</em> money, my instinct was to put a bullet through him. I had to think very hard to find a reason not to! It's like I said - a non-player character would have been dead already. You need to be more careful with your characters, hun. <br><br>Amazon might well have just shot him! My mistress is nasty like that, sometimes! *winks and grins*<br><br>Anyway, it is now down to you to spin a tale convincing enough that the three bitches will want and/or need your character alive.

				NP its good fun to find out how the people behind the character works :)<br><br>i'll agree that it was a major risk to try this. this probably stems from me doing a lot of RP with the same people IRL so i dont often expect to get shot by fellow character. probably luled me into a false sence of secrurity. anyway i like the idea of a challenge, trying to get three gunslining women to follow me and another man into wasteland

				*chuckles* Normally I won't off a player character without permission unless the game rules say I can - in a fair fight or whatever - but I was soooooo tempted believe me!<br><br>I'm an evil bitch at heart - although my GF disputes that!
