Agreed - we want to keep this moving which is why we're letting people work off rumors they've heard and work in their own scenarios.
As stated in the intro, kidnapping is allowed (and hurting other characters as well) as long as the action is in character. We don't consider it god-modding. It's something
to spice things up.
Of course, we don't expect anyone to murder everyone on sight. :D
Because then, we won't have an RP :P
Hurting a character moves the action forward - and gives other players to jump in and save him/her (assuming the character jumping in is some good samaritan).
If you're hurt, and no one helps, you'll have to find a way into town or wherever people are gathered - again, forcing you and others to interact.
And while I'm on that topic...let me just say that the reason why we decided against character sheets for sign ups is because it gives away a lot of information (some, unnecessary) - and puts everyone at a disadvantage since the players will know a character's background beforehand, and might force the RP to head in an 'unnatural' direction. I think a lot of RPs die because characters end up being out of character after a while.
I could totally see our characters getting into a fight with other characters. It's the end of the world - everyone's testy.
And also - Moon and I will eventually throw in 'NPCs' - let me quote the intro again and say "There's safety in numbers - but traitors are everywhere."
Oh - and GonzoB - thank you for updating the map!
I'm going to save it and put it up on the intro as well. Editing intro right now to make it easier to read. :}
Ok, this post is long enough haha.
And thanks, guys - for jumping in and making things more interesting!
