[Mini-Saga]Black Dawn: Discussion

[Alexander Trafford]

Mal. This is what happened. I told you Mr. Clean, as you call him, had the ability to kill your characters if you messed with his son, which it would make sense IC he would defend his son. The only reason i said this was to deter you two from trying to make an entire second quest. Each and every quest has an integral part in the whole, and we can't just fix and adjust that because you RP quickly, i'm not about to alter everything just for you.

Then, in response, you mentioned that you were sure Retane could kill Mr. Clean, clearly you were missing the point and just being ridiculous. So, i the said that Mr. Big could just as easily kill Retane, in order to make the same point, to deter you from doing something i'd asked you forty five times not to do. Then you mentioned how Mr. Big could not kill Retane, Corniss and Tapion. For some reason those three were brought up, even though you are not allowed to utilize other members old PC's without there stated permission. And then i just ignored you.

Point is, I used the term open-ended to mean that you could complete your mission in anyway you pleased. But asking for second missions, trying to kill and/or kidnap members of your own team, etcetera, were all things i figured you'd have the common sense not to do. I figured everyone would simply complete their objective and we'd move on with the story. I even figured everyone would enjoy the missions, since we tried to fit them to the characters so it'd help with their professions, and it'd help them develop characters. Silly me to think that.

To answer your second point, no, we are not doing a second mission. Cain RPed our characters getting side tracked, since we gave ourself the easiest mission in order that we could focus our attention on reading every RP and tending to the saga. It is not a second mission but merely a digression during the first, something you could have done too had you not but in such a rush to finish your mission.

This is getting to be a headache, and it's funny, because i don't have any idea what the real fuss is about? A misunderstanding about the word 'open-ended'? Is that it? From what i can tell, most people are enjoying RPing with someone new in a mission that suits their character, and i hope that is true.

So, with that, can we all just stop arguing about this, hmm? Perhaps we can go back to RPing the missions? And then... dun, dun dun, we move on!
