GTX0 Adventure

End of Round. (no)

I think there have been massive improvements already over the course of this game--the memory and the ability to have actions processed mid-round is huge.

I'm afraid I don't really know what to say about combat--I haven't yet been involved in actual combat this game, so I don't really have a basis of comparison. I guess I can see why some people might want it resolved mid-round, but personally the idea of having it resolved at the end of the round seems like it would work well enough.

Combat definitely needs to be processed at the end of the round.

It would most certainly be unfair for combat to be processed if they were away for a few hours (which is probably why the rounds last a few days anyway - so people have a chance to respond).

Combat definitely needs to be processed at the end of the round. Major events like blowing up the biosphere and bar should be processed at the end too, whereas things like scanning someone or examining the room or whatever can be done mid-round.

A good rubric would be, if it only affects the player making the action, do it mid-round. If it affects anyone else, do it at the end of round.

End of the round, although I think certain parts of combat should be processed mid round.

If someone's action is:

"Grabs White Lancer and puts a gun to his head", we need to know that that has actually happened.

It'd be silly for us to do our actions under the assumption that Lancer was actually being held hostage, when next round it turns out the roll failed and he was never in any danger.

Meanwhile we've surrendered all our weapons or something.

Or perhaps a certain syringe-related scenario currently playing out ;)

The issue is "Grabs White Lancer". If you don't process that, how is Lancer supposed to react? He can't very well walk out of the room if he's been grabbed.

Seems in that case Lancer would get a defensive roll that determines if he's actually 'grabbed'. If not, then he still has a gun to his head and we can react appropriately. If so, then whoever's grabbed him has a human shield of sorts that we have to take into account. Make sense?

Same with the syringe. I think you have to roll to determine if it actually gets stabbed into someone. If not, its just an unavoidable action.

We would see if the syringe went in or not.

I mean, you can make the argument that the syringe gets jabbed into the neck but the plunger isn't depressed, so no attack has occurred, but its still an attack on the person in question.

The other issue is bluffing. What if someone does a bluff attack in order to trick you into doing something? If I process that, everyone's going to know it was a bluff and thus not react to it properly (which means we'd lose a part of the game that can be very fun).

Fair enough, but it still seems like an attack that wasn't rolled. If someone sticks a syringe in someone else's neck, we're going to see that. Why doesn't the person being attacked get to have a chance to block? They have to carry out their actions as if the attack went through. That's kinda silly and unfair, because the defender is placed at a disadvantage.

I'm going to assume that some of this discussion has come about because of the way I reacted to what MM9 did right before the fire fight.

If I recall, the post said that MM9 plunged the syringe into `Roxas` neck.

Now you can sugar coat that all you want. But regardless of rather the plunger was pushed or not, that was a hostile action against one of the crew, and considering what the conditions are on the station, it was a righteous kill.



I agree with this: If it's a fight between 2 players, say Xhin and I. imo the results should be posted mid-round. If it's like the fire fight we just had, the end of round is fine.

Forgot to add after the first quote

I agree with this:
