Yes, let’s tell the human-hating centuries-old elf who’s just slaughtered a whole town that they’re an idiot. That’s really going to go so well.
This is absolutely something that any number of my characters would do.

the human-hating centuries-old elf had casually grown the mother of all trees through the mouthy one
And this is absolutely the extreme overreaction consequence I would be looking for, please and thank you.

If only more people thought like that.
I’m with you. If my character does something that stupid, they should get consequences! But ye gods, the wailing if consequences actually happen.

Honestly, my biggest peeve is people who make decisions that get their characters in danger and rather than go along with it, they sort of like get frustrated at the consequences they get because “what else was my character going to do? Of course they were going to rage at the super evil and powerful mage! They are a rebel!”
Like the character isn’t real. You make the decisions. Own it.
I…why would you play a rebel character without expecting consequences. Isn’t that kind of the point of playing a rebel? If nothing happens and everyone agrees with you, you’re not rebelling!
This is a rhetorical question obviously, I absolutely know why, it just endlessly baffles me.
It’s like princes who are pirates. Dude. You cannot have it both ways. Either you, as the Law, are going out and robbing people, in which case don’t be surprised if the commoners pull out the guillotine, or you are an outlaw and a criminal and therefore not a ruler.
You cannot rebel against the Man if you ARE the Man.

I mean, nobility in disguise is a fairly common trope in literature. The disguise part is the crucial bit, though. They’re not supposed to know you’re the Prince, and they’ll probably be pissed when they find out.

@Tributary that became the central conflict of Aureth’s life.

@sao By the end of days, I’m sure he made a wonderful pirate princess.

Quencies for THEE and not for ME (I like quencies usually. if it’s based on a choice i made IC in good fun)
@Rinel I wasn’t referring to you. If you are trying to be slick, I had not noticed.

Except that 95% of this thread is actually about specific stuff that it feels like this thread is always subtweeting.
Which is the nature of the beast, I guess. But it’s yet another ‘vaguebooking doesn’t actually exist/always seems intentional’ thing.

“wahhhh what do you mean that people will react appropriately if I initiate conflict? People should just let me do what I want without retaliation, or they’re bullying me.”
Yes, I agree. It is really baffling when people don’t seem to realise they can guide their own experience and if they don’t like being in danger maybe they should pick fewer fights.

Hell, that’d make testing cheaper and easier.

If yes, you’re autistic. If no please answer questions 2 through 50129.

It’s just being an enthusiast of a once popular thing that’s largely seen as obsolete by the modern world! There’s no connection at all.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go start restoring this typewriter.

I met a new gamer on a new game a few weeks ago. And they asked through the grapevine about my reputation… The answer they got was:
Kind.
SUPER AuDHD!I’ve never felt more seen by a stranger in my life.

One of the truly foundational pieces of our game is:
“We will let you attempt to do anything that you want to do, and deliver the justifiable consequences as a result.”
I’ve always enjoyed playing characters that make the wrong IC decision because I think it OOC leads to better story telling, and that’s been a great source of fun for me. Sometimes a frustration for a ST that expects a story to go on rails, and I just kindly see myself out of those games if it happens too often.
On ours? “Oh, you want to murder the King? OK, tell me how.”
And that, kids, is How I Buried Your King.

@Alveraxus GMs who forget those magic words “You can certainly try,” are dissapointing.
