I'm sorry but I'm going to have to bow out from this roleplay. If you're looking to roleplay but will be metagaming other people's characters all the time, as well as having all the characters behaving in the same way mechanically, then there doesn't seem much point in being involved. Feel free to use Sureshot as a punching bag to give your own character the openings he needs to win the fight.

How did I go out of bounds as a GM? I state in the rules people will get hit by enemies... And I've stated a time or two if fights are one sided I'll act as the enemies. I don't really have any control over anyone's characters. Level them up, alter their moves, do whatever you want as far as making them unique. The stats system has to be simplified to make things easier than something as complicated as D&D, I can't apologize for that.

The only way everyone's characters would behave the same is if you guy's RP them that way. The one time Genni had to go back and make an edit she attacked twice more than her stats permitted, that's not me metagaming to leave myself an opening, that's me asking another player to put an enemy back into play that shouldn't have been defeated. She beat on the guy I kicked out the air and we were close to the same location, would it not make sense for me to help her take down the Parademon?

EDIT: And as far as making edits to the system itself, while they may not have been edited in the way players suggested, I did make edits so that things leveled out and made more sense. Not so that my character had any type of advantage. And I made edits because players suggested some things be changed. I don't think the edits really effected my guy other than wanting to boost his IQ over time now.

@SimplyJohn I have no idea what you're saying here o.o, re-reading all the posts he seems to be doing this fairly.

He's also kicking his own ass. Which is kinda funny xD

I'm sorry but I'm stepping out too. It doesn't seem like you know whether to make this into a purely roleplaying adventure or a stat based one and you seem to be getting caught between the two.

There's a number of problems with the game system, the main one being that the Attack stat is entirely worthless to the characters and actually hampers them by decreasing their health, which are getting in the way of the gameplay working for me, and I think it'd be best if I allow people who have a better grasp of the system to play without me getting in the way.

Hitting Streak with a totally unblockable attack and then arguing about me trying to regain a little health was a low blow, and I think that's what @SimplyJohn was talking about when he said 'metagaming'.

Only after he decided to attack Streak first, which was a little underhanded.

I actually went back and made edits to my own posts when you were in the right and after you'd explained the situation a little clearer. But again, I can't apologize for having an enemy attack somebody. I had the Warhound attack me afterwards because I'm not picking on anyone, it just makes for a good story if you're actually trying to still tell one. And God know's what you would've thought of if I'd have had it go after knighthawk's guy again... If I get my guy's hp down to about 1 or 2 points he's gonna run and try to find shelter somewhere in the war zone.

And there's no reason it can't be a stat based adventure and an RP. knighthawk mentioned being away for a bit, it's easier to write him out in the actual storytelling than mid-battle. Each post doesn't have to be in-battle for you to gain a post to your post count, hell your entire post could be a flashback sequence to your origin and have no effect at all on the battle.

If people wanna step out in the thick of it, no prob. Games like this aren't perfect in every post and it's always rough around the edges trying to work a new system, which I admit has had changes made since the game started. I'm sorry attacks have to be dumbed down, and that Signature moves are the only moves worth extra hp. If every attack is a special move, has different abilities that work for so many turns, that effect certain items or people, etc. things get a lot more confusing. Trust me this isn't the first time I've done stat based games. If this was meant purely to be about the in-battle stuff and not storytelling/RP'ing then it would've been in the Arena section.

If I have to write two characters out then I'll probably do it with Mad Harriet hitting the scene in my next post or two. Still talking to a couple folks through PM's so we may already have the void filled. Still not sure what kinda heroes they're working on but hopefully somebody that can fly...

Well this f**king sucks. Sureshot and Streak were two of my favorite characters.

I really liked Streak, not a real superhero w/guns kinda guy. I liked Grifter but he fought aliens and had that whole trained by an alien amazon after getting powers during a government black op thing going for him.

@Shadowman215 I gotta go into work soon but I'll be back in around 7 hours or so. I'll remove the stat cards that need out of the Character Tab and get to work on moving forward. We can change the pace and slow it down since knighthawk was on vacation, don't wanna leave him at level 1 and jump to level 5 in a week. I think the IC had 20 posts in 2 days.

~KL~

Nice
I'll post later maybe depending on how I feel

@Shadowman215

Here's the finished product in avatar form...

Awesome dude thanks :D

I'll be in the titanpad linked in the OP of the IC if anybody's around...
