[OOC] Avonshire - D&D Based Adventure

[Lewascan2]

@Sigil Spotted a misspelling of "jog" in my post. Permission to engage, captain?

[Sigil]

@Lewascan2
Yah, good to go.

[Lewascan2]

@Sigil
Edit made. Many thanks, captain!

[Lewascan2]

@Sigil Spotted another pair of errors in the paragraph right before Hugh arrives at the Infamous Pear. Good to have at them?

[Lewascan2]

@Sigil Two more errors spied. One in the Alastor description paragraph and the other in the Marita one. Ready for your orders?

[Lurking Krog]

I do see that you are full but wanted to let you know I'd be interested in joining should an opening come up.

[Lewascan2]

@Lurking Krog For best results, make sure to @ Sigil (the DM). Typically sees you faster that way.

On that note.

@Sigil
Finally found another spelling error (more like had it pointed out to me)
When describing the pig, I used "emancipated" instead of "emaciated". Permission to edit?

[Sigil]

@Lewascan2
No problem, take care of that. Past this edit, whatever is misspelled is there to stay.

[Lewascan2]

@Sigil Big thanks! That was the last egregious one, so I won't fuss myself with the rest.

[Su]

Made a few grammar and spelling edits like a minute after posting.

[Su]

@Sigil Changed handheld to normal crossbow. For some reason I thought it was just one handed.

[Sigil]

@Su
You are telling me that you changed an aspect of your character sheet after it was approved and play commenced, without DM permission, in direct violation of the rules agreed to in the original post. This is not encouraging.

I would rather this be a lesson rather than an example this early in the one-shot, so for all parties present:

This is not an acceptable route to take. If I see anyone making changes without approval past this point, it means removal from the RP. In a way, I am glad we're getting this out in the open early. It should save trouble down the road.

[Su]

@Sigil It was already a part of my character sheet, I just misinterpreted the item on my DnD CS. Its not like I'm adding anything to my inventory. This is the second time you've had an issue with me making an incredibly minor change. If it's such a hang up, I think it best that I leave the RP. I like the group, but if I have to tell you every time I make a small edit, I'm not going to enjoy myself.

I hope everyone has a good time, thanks for having me.

[Lewascan2]

@Su Bro, no! Not like this!
Cheating can just be a major problem potentially with this kind of system. It's really not that hard to let the DM know you made minor mistake and need to edit. Sigil would obviously approve. It's just a matter of principle.
Don't feel the need to quit just like that. It would seriously be a shame after seeing what you bring to the table. (and Hugh is already outnumbered as it is when it comes to testosterone vs estrogen XD)

[Martian]

@Sigil
Sorry about the massive delay in my post. My mental health has been really trying this past week. I will have a post up tomorrow, as that is seven days. Sorry about any inconvenience I caused. I still really want to do this roleplay.

[Lewascan2]

@Martian Absolutely no inconvenience here! We've been keeping the party rolling in the meantime! Glad to have you!

[Su]

@Lewascan2

I did let him know and he threatened to boot me off the RP because I didn't wait for "permission" to fix a non consequential error. If I had just done it and not said anything this wouldn't be a situation. When the rules are this strict it stops feeling like a game and more like a job. And I already work enough in my real life. So I appreciate the effort, but I'm good. Nothing against anybody, but its just not my style.

[Lewascan2]

@Su I mean, the rules were fairly clear in the first OOC to begin with. And honestly, we have plenty of time to make changes. If you ask, there should really be no issue with waiting a short time for him to get back to you with the (typically inevitable) "yes" to go ahead with it. It's really just a matter of a patience.

TL/DR: because this is a text-based thing and generally moves slow, what seems like a strict rule on the surface really isn't considering all the breathing room we have to get approval for stuff. I really do hope you stick with us; it'd really suck for this to be the sticking point that keeps you from having a good time. :)

As I said earlier, I was hoping this could be a lesson and not an example. I am disappointed to see that this decision has been made for me in the other direction. Very simply, I did receive your request in my DMs in Discord. Then, without waiting for a response, the item in question was changed. This tells me that the rules were very clearly known, agreed to, and summarily ignored. Had you waited until I got off of work to review your CS and how your request impacts it, I likely might have said yes. We will never know now.

If you had "just done it and not said anything", you would be guilty of cheating, due to the nature of your request. It might have eventually been found out, and this conversation would have taken place later instead of sooner. I don't care if it's a thing someone else finds inconsequential. It is the principle of the thing AS WELL AS the fact that you changed out equipment in the middle of a scene. I was willing to overlook the post edits for a time as no one had posted after you, and they looked to be simple error fixes, but it is a slippery slope. This was proven when, after feeling comfortable making post edits without a go-ahead you escalated to changing your CS without approval. This is a problem. One with which no one else has shown issue.

I wish you the best of luck in your present and future RPs, but you are correct, this one is probably not for you. It's a shame. You made a really good character.

[Lewascan2]

Well damn, guess we have our first case of someone phasing out of the narrative. Sadge.
