Yeah, consistency ruins my whole idea, so k. Have fun. Don't die, Anderiel and former-EH-crew.

Oh, sorry.

I just want to have powers that can be evaluated without being largely contingent on "If everyone else does this". A combination of "if people don't respond precisely right, I'm broken" and "If people respond right, I lose" just seems like a "how much metagaming is allowed/'I'm not metagaming' clusterfuck.

Er... can someone explain to me why everyone is avoiding posting what NP's do? With Gil, I simply avoided it because anyone joining the RP should really know his abilities by now. It seems kind of unfair that OC's get the benefit of total secrecy but if someone were to join as Arturia or Medea, the players get the NP's as common knowledge. >_>;

If you're joining as a canon character, you deserve the disadvantage.

EDIT: Also, I think you're being kind of silly towards Rodey. His character is manageably balanced and in no way problematic for the state of the roleplay.

No, you don't.

So... why does a horse he ran away with charge straight at the enemy? Is there more to the story? XD

[VitaVitaAR]

Um, again, weighing in with my own opinion here...

IC it doesn't matter if the character is canon or not. No-one should know their identity to start out, unless they go on blabbing it or do something that would reveal it. It doesn't matter if they're canon unless they've been summoned in a previous war and the character determining their identity knows they were and who they were.

Balance issues aren't always easy to judge, especially given the only way to convey a GM's vision for an RP's balance is really for them to just try and describe what they want. Complexity and amount of related conditions makes it harder to work out how they would interact with other characters in terms of balance.

Again, not GMing, I just... really want this to be fun for people and for there not to be heated arguments or anything like that. I've seen way too many Fate RPs end up with arguments including when I try to run them and it's kind of upsetting since it's such a fun set-up for an RP.

[Tatsua Aiisen]

They have a disadvantage because you don't get to make your own character.

Not sure how this links to 'it's fair for everyone else to keep their abilities secret'. Because if we're going that far, apparently I should be the only person seeing bios at all.

[VitaVitaAR]

I can see what you mean now, but I think if they're familiar enough with the character it shouldn't really effect the RP?

... Um, just my opinion on it though, so, um.

[Tatsua Aiisen]

I'm not saying it a disadvantage in character, it's a disadvantage because it's less cool.

Also, it's fun to have the reveal of a character's NP that you didn't know about. Cao Cao's, for example, could be rather amusing to happen out of nowhere and surprise you.

[VitaVitaAR]

Oh, completely misunderstood. ^^;

I would make OC Servants more if I didn't tend to get stuck on Noble Phantasms.

My only other decent one is Tomoe Gozen but her NP kind of is really boring. : (

Same could be said for skills, stats, and identities. I'd rather keep everything on a level playing field, meta-game wise, and it's a bit late to go for 'PM all Servant bios to me'. :P

[Tatsua Aiisen]

Regardless, it's a personal choice unless you want to force everybody to post it in the thread. Just say it, if that's what you want.

[Raineh Daze]

Yes, I want everything in the thread. It's more fair, and requires people to rely less on my judgement of things they haven't seen.

[VitaVitaAR]

I think if you want to keep it hidden you should have multiple GM's, and it's a bit late for that.

More then one set of eyes can spot potential problems more easily then one.

Thinking about it, I do think it could be fun, but it's a bit late to get more then one GM and have all bios PMed for this RP, definitely.

Because he's making it do that? Kind of like how Medusa has to force her pegasus to run at dudes.

So... why is 'summon horse' immediately 'charge horse at enemies on its own'? I'm just a bit lost that Cao Cao is chucking his mount, as Rider, at the enemies without even getting onto it. XD

...What? I figured it was implied that he charges while mounted.
