Back from teh dad's house! Will be posting soon.

UPDATED

Alright, I posted. Following the plan previously discussed, my character will interact with Bryan before Rafale's character shows up. Allowing Silver to both respond to my character and the arrival of Rafale's character to keep things from getting confusing chronologically.

Completely different subject, a very late one to be discussing (by one day), but I finally read over your post in detail, Blackwolf, and it bothered me how you set up Aoi to immediately be a novice and a bad shot, going so far as stating;Normally, decisions about the character's skills and what he is doing should fall into the writer of the character's hands, not another player. I didn't say in any of my former post that he was a bad shooter, in fact, I made him state the opposite. Thus, this would fall into the category of being a strain of power-playing, which is usually frowned upon.I'm not trying to be a jerk, just stating my own opinion and preferences and if you could do something about this, I would be extremely appreciative of it.


Rafale is completely right - I have mentioned this in the rules to the game in the first post.
If it's your characters opinion that someone looks like they don't know what they're doing, then that's fine. But if the player has stated in their post that they do know what they're doing and are in fact good at their job/task/whatever, then that's kind of putting words into their mouths - metaphorically speaking - or taking control to some degree of someone elses' character, and that's something that's not really okay.

I'll reply this evening, as I'm shortly heading out to work. Thanks for the post though, and I'll make sure my reply covers everything and gets us moving again.

I'm sorry but I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop out of this one. I was planning to get my CS up real soon but... stuff happens I guess. Silver, sorry if I got your hopes up (again >_<). But yeah, I just won't be able to do this RP. I hope you guys have fun with it though.

Never said he was a bad shot or a novice he was just observing that he isn't holding a sniper rifle like a sniper would cause he isn't a sniper...he's a pilot, and he looks like, a pilot holding a gun, which isn't to say he's looks like the kid trying to shove the square block in the round hole. Ghost is just making educated guesses based off what he is looking at, and the fact that there is some distance between them, and he is assuming that gun isn't his, and isn't sighted for him so long shots would be impossible, even if ghost were to use that rifle he wouldn't be very effective cause it's not sighted for him.

EDIT: I did make a typo, I meant to say holding the barrel not the butt XD

I would be fine with your character making guesses, so long as they were written in the correct way. By the way I read it, you wrote it as if it was all things that had been decided and were in fact happening;

he had the barrel sticking out of the rocks, how his hand held the butt like a machine gun to keep that rapid fire steady, instead using it to slightly guide the rifle for smooth motion.

I didn't ever say he had the barrel sticking out of the rocks (even I wouldn't make that mistake and I haven't even thought of joining the armed forces), nor was he holding the barrel to guide the rifle. Those were all things you seem to have decided he is doing, and that, my friend, is what we call powerplaying.

You also sat he's a pilot and not a sniper, but that's erroneus - Kwan has been a soldier far longer than he's been an aviator if you look at his background. He originally enlisted as a pilot and served exclusively as one - going by his background - from 1987-1990ish and then for more than a decade, two if you remember that the setting is 2014, has been working primarily as a fighter on the ground. That's more than long enough to have learned as much as he needs to. Basically, your justification comes across like you haven't read his character sheet properly.

Either way, Rafale is right - you're stating opinions as facts, and autopiloting someone elses' character in order to make yours look better. Please don't.
This is not the only complaint I've had from a played regarding your character. You are officially on thin ice.

I kind of figured you wouldn't be joining in, since you hadn't posted your sheet already.

That is how you hold a rifle, by the barrel, it's how every body, except snipers, is trained to hold a rifle, and sticking the barrel out isn't a mistake, it would just happen cause he is using the rocks for cover, again only snipers are trained to draw back so far, your just assuming these things are bad, they aren't they are what your normal soldier would do.

Better start learning how to swim....... for it is best not to jump up and down on thin ice.

Anyway, should Rafale post or should I just go ahead and do a response post as well?

I'll try and get something up later today. I'm aware people seem to be busy with school or whatever. I'm also suffering a person apathy kick toward things at the moment, but I'll try and press through to get something up.
