[quote=@TheWindel] I remember you saying you had a plan with Masae. But I'm also wondering why you don't just get her out of the stagnant scenes with her walking away or something. I don't see how we're skipping; all that happened was that people's bank accounts were frozen and even that was planned out and executed. Direct me to the part in IC where it seems like we're forcing people to react to this event immediately and to stop what they're doing right now. Assumptions are quite bad. Just ask KoL. [/quote] Because I am an exceptionally patient person as you may well know, given how long I was waiting on you for posts at the end of Shattering. I didn't want to deprive Rofls and Birb of the opportunity for interactions, and I figured this could be useful fr that plan that I had. But of course, your wishes are paramount. I shall endeavor to disengage myself and go fight as quickly as possible. You have stated your intent to have it happen, and have not provided any indication that it will not be happening. Just because there has not been any forcing now does not mean there won't be in the immediate future. Because this is an event in which there is no choice but to react, because everyone in those guilds is now reduced to only the pocket change they have on hand. None of us aside from the GMPCs have real world assets to use against this, meaning the only choice is to either do nothing or fight. And you command the fighting. You are forcing the players into a situation where the only way to win is to rely upon your characters in the hope that they can fix the damage that Chiyo has done Too bad KoL is a GM so that somehow makes his assumptions more valid than mine. But I'll stop for now, since by now I know that I'm just saying words that don't have any effect on you or your decision making process.
