I would like to start off by asking that everyone who is not involved in the current thread to please refrain from replying here. This is for Phill, Orion and I to hash out. Jen if you wouldn’t mind keeping an eye on things here that would be awesome; if we go off on a tangent or start being stupid slap us around a bit and tell us to get on with life =p
To my fellow RP partners I’m replying here as Subaru the player.
First things first: Sorry for making a thread guys but I feel this is the best way to discuss things ^^ Second: Nice post Phill for the most part. There are just a couple of things I think you need to be aware of.
1) I need you to be aware that you are, at least in my opinion, power playing quite a bit here, meaning you aren’t giving us, your fellow RP partners a chance to respond to what is happening to them. Case in point the apperating Dres away.
Dresden wouldn’t have given Armando the chance. He already warned him that if he touched him again there would be concequences, so as soon as Armando grabbed the collar of his jacket Dres more than likely would have punched him in the face and casted some sort of spell to protect himself. I see him acting this way on account of Armando’s actions earlier, namely the attempt at Legimancy and the two threats leveled at him. That being said I think that Dresden’s actions (the punch combined with a spell) would have distracted Armando enough to make it so he couldn’t apperate (Jen correct me if I’m totally wrong on this one).
Also as a note, Dresden has reached out to help Morgan (Orion’s character) up and I would think it safe to assume she took his hand, meaning that if they apperated anywhere, she would have come along for the ride.
2) You cast a confundus spell on Ri’s character without giving her a chance to avoid/deflect/reflect etc. Yes she may be a muggle but odds are still good that she might have been able to avoid it or shake it off, especially since you stated it was a weak spell.
3) With the way you have written the apperation part, you have effectively cut Orion out of our thread. I’m sure you didn’t mean to, but that’s just how I’m reading it. Generally that’s considered bad voodoo when RPing with a group unless you’ve previously discussed it with that player.
4) As a side note: Be prepared to most likely be visited by the Oblivators and a team of Imperium Guard. Lots of magic has just been tossed around in the muggle world all haphazardly and that I’m sure breaks the statute of secrecy, again Jen, correct me if I’m wrong on this one. I have a feeling this thread is going to very rapidly delve into the IC actions have IC consequences and I want you to be aware of that so things don’t go crazy =p
So yea, long and short is we need to work some stuff out. Do either of you have any suggestions for how to make this all work? Last thing I want is for this to push characters to be OCC and for the thread to dwindle in to a ‘my character is more powerful than yours’ thread.
