1- Maybe. But since he is fighting back anyone would easily dismiss it as a minor injury.

2- Again, he showed no reaction to it, until now. She doesn't know his background or personality so...

3- It could be considered impolite and rude, a mere intern to basically act like a teacher on a test that is already being supervised by another instructor.

4- Meilin is not a teacher. Not yet. She doesn't have the same benefits as the other instructors.

5- Meilin respects Daler a lot, but there are other things that affect her decision other than Daler's words.

@13org
Of course it is. But if you choose not to then you kinda, you know, don't have room to complain about feeling left out and not being able to do things like you were doing. Because you were given ample room to do so.

@Zero Hex

Again, that is my decision.
Plus, have I already told you that your condescending tone really gets on my nerves?

Edit: also, I have no idea on what to write. The reasons I had in mind for Meilin to step in are gone.

[Dblade26]

1. I don't think that him writhing on the ground and vomiting would be seen as particularly minor. He's also barely fighting back and visibly swaying dizzily as he moves according to that post, so it's not like he actually shrugged it off.

3. Again, see a qualified, mind-reading teacher with more seniority than the supervising instructor asking you to step in on his behalf.

[Zero Hex]

@13org
Something around those lines, yes. But I've been fairly polite, I feel. Haven't attacked you personally and have been trying to talk with you and others in order to clear up unclear bits and get you room to do the things you wanted Meilin to do: stop a fight, deliver a sermon. Other people, the GM included, are giving you plenty of reasons why your character can and should act in this situation. And yet here you are, grasping at straws for reasons as to why your character wouldn't do these things after complaining about feeling left out and not getting to do them.

[Azereiah]

It started again?

How about we wait for @CondorTalon and @tipssyCalibrator to reply with their characters and for Brock to do something enormously stupid before forcing a decision on anyone?

Edit: and @Dblade26. I know that edited mentions don't send an alert, but I see you in the Viewing This Page list.

[Dblade26]

Yeah see, that last part, while echoing my own frustrations, actually did come off as patronizing. Also, having read your posts too, I have kind of noticed you displaying a tendency to lecture and take a sort of 'Here's why you're acting stupid' tone. It seems it's unintentional?

You may be making some valid points and you're generally being very reasonable, but I can half-see why the way you're going about it feels abrasive to 13org even if I don't think the problem is as big as all this.

@Zero Hex

[13org]

Stupid or not, they are my own actions, my own choices and no one can judge them right or wrong, except myself.
There are reasons why I'm uncertain on what to write. I don't like to force things on my characters. I don't like to act in a way that my character wouldn't act. I don't like "forced" reasons, to obligate my character to do something. Even if this thing proves to be particularly interesting or fun.

I try to avoid all and any type of "metagaming" while writing. I will even kill my own character (on a more "hardcore" rp) if he encounters a situation where he would rather chose death. Even if it kills my character, even if it results in bad things.
I try, I repeat, TRY my best to make my characters act as "organically" as possible.

If someone asks me what my character would do in certain situation, my answer would probably be: I don't know.
I like to literally "play" the character when I'm writing. That's why I hate metagaming & etc. Those things hamper the process I use to write a post.

You can call me eccentric, weird or simply dumb, but that's how my mind works. All those quirks, all those weird preferences are part of me.

[Dblade26]

Okay, everything you've said is fine, if phrased with a bit much melodrama for my tastes. That is, provided you're 100% willing to accept that this means it might not be easy for you to play in the RP.

I guarantee this isn't going to be the last time some situation comes up that throws off your writing process, and if your commitment to not finding a reason to do something for the sake of going along with the game or anything like that or even planning around developments you didn't expect or working with other players is as absolute as you're implying, you're going to have problems like these that none of us will really be able to help you fix.

As long as you're cool with recognizing that you're creating additional challenges for yourself and making things harder, you do you.

Granted, I may have misunderstood you and if that's the case sorry, but eh.

[13org]

@Dblade26

TL:DR

Ill take a while to reply. I need to think.

Now you understood what i meant to say?
I fail to see where is the melodrama.
Again, your tastes, your standards.

[Zero Hex]

@13org
No, staying in character and avoiding metagaming are 100% things I expect roleplayers to do, it's great you do them. But here's the thing, going by the post that you yourself made, Meilin saw the heatwave and decided to intervene. It's a thing that happened. The heatwave didn't hit anyone, that's great for student health, but the person who launched said heatwave is up, angry and fighting against someone who's assaulting him outside of the rules of the game. These are all reasons why any responsible educator would step up, especially if she was already set on intervening after the first heat wave was launched. She can break up a fight there and show herself responsible and dependable. It's a very simple thought process.

You have been given plenty of room and plenty of reasons for your character to do the things you wanted her to do in the post we all saw. You said you were upset about not getting to do the things, and we have gone out of our way to present opportunities for your character to get involved when we could've just left you to delete your post and move on. By this point, you're actively sabotaging yourself and throwing away the efforts of others just to prove the obvious point that you, indeed, can decide to not do the things you complained about wanting to do. It's your choice, totally, but you don't get to complain about not being given the opportunity to play. Because you were.

[13org]

@Zero Hex

Can you please wait? wtf... READ WHAT I WROTE.

IM THINKING ABOUT WHAT TO WRITE.

And drop your tone, please. My thought process is completely different from yours. Could you please stop trying to tell me what to do?

[Azereiah]

pls guiz you're killing my buzz :(

[13org]

@Azereiah

Sorry, i'll shut up. For real.

[Dblade26]

My Buzz

But seriously, I'm trying to think of a response to Brock that isn't "HIT HIM AGAIN!" in the legs, which would be maybe not quite right for Musashi.

[Azereiah]

@Dblade26

You might try standing up first, since you just got 'GET DOWN MR. PRESIDENT'ed.

[Dblade26]

Oh for sure, I just mean after that. I mean besides obviously getting sulky about how he's a big boy who could totally have dodged that blast by himself with his MAGICAL WIZARD EYES thanks-very-much.

[Zero Hex]

@13org
I've never told you what to write. Me and others have just given you ways for you to do the things you complained about not getting to do.

@Azereiah
But fair enough, for the sake of the game and others who've asked I suppose this is about as far as this goes. The field is open and all.

[Hammerman]

Oh yeah, Freyja is going your "hardcore shonen teacher" route.

[CondorTalon]

@Hammerman

Ryousei currently has his broadsword out, not his katana.

[Hammerman]

@CondorTalon
Oops, must have misread that. Fixing it.

[Dblade26]

Also @Hammerman I'm pretty sure Brock's already up and trying to fight, which is against the rules, as was previously discussed, and so was Akiko trying to hit him after he was downed.
