In a weird meta way, this right now is exactly what I was doing in the game all the time : "I'm leaving, somebody stop me!" And I need to cop the **** on Did Ekbard just burn those potentially magic papers??

There's nothing that you can do that can't be undone really (apart from actually killing a character). A good GM will know how to deal with what the players throw at them and how to work it into their story. There's no bad players, you just gotta get the hang of it. Everyone plays differently, I'm more of a 'wait and see' type player but ones like Necro clearly just go gung ho for it and that's fine too. There's no wrong way to play, just different styles. And if your character is a dick you just gotta own it and go with it. Anyways, it was nice to play with you and hopefully you'll stick around the games forum for some other fun. Try out werewolf!

Also, my slavish attempts at doing what the character would do are derailing. I should have learned to think before posting a move I couldn't retract after nearly mugging Arry and running off. Seat's free. Should have been clearer earlier, sorry. I left the gear cause I can't remember if anyone else bought torches or flint. It was fun while it lasted though, thanks for letting me play. Dwarrowood could just be dwarfish wood, ie something mined from the earth. So it could be on the level... But it won't be if you take it

Fourier wrote: I should be a bit clearer about why it is standard. Typically the reason given is that it is easier to search, as each thread contains a specific piece of the story, but I never really questioned it. What do others think, is a single long thread easier to search? Maybe I should make a main thread with links to every other thread?

sKeith wrote: » Fourier, How come you are making new threads for each new Act. For searching purposes, maybe we could allow single threads to last a bit longer.
I've never played traditional WW (werewolf), but i have played forum WW, and I'm not sure if during a traditional game of WW people pore over every utterance you make, but in forum WW, they certainly do, you'll be scrutinized for capitalizing some word Halfway through a sentence etc.
