Well I suppose it couldn't be helped...I do enjoy role playing and I've missed the bar over the past several days. Also I've been told by a player that they have a character that is somewhat dependant upon Ossanlin for development. It isn't fair for me to put one of their characters out of commission. After thinking about it for some time, trying to find a solution, I believe I've stumbled across one albeit an imperfect one.
I'm simply going to have to have Ossanlin ignore certain players and characters, namely those who post multiple times a day. I'm sorry in advance to anyone who tries to interact with Ossanlin and doesn't receive a response. I may have to take some...liberties... in order to have Ossanlin be able to react the way he would react...such as if there is a fight that happens so quickly (as with the recent unpleasantness), I will write a post after the fact that states how Ossanlin was involved with the fight including some character reactions that are reasonable but will in no way affect how the fight came out, thus no one will have to alter previous posts and I will not infringe upon character thoughts and feelings, only physical actions...and I will not have Ossanlin score any direct hits or try to force characters to take damage that they didn't take in the fight in their player's posts. This is very tame 'god-modding' on my part and I hope not to have to do it, but I see no other way around it should this situation arise again. Should such a situation arise I have full faith that Tara, Jessi, Kelly, or Marie will let me know if they think I've gone too far. After all, we more or less started this thread, we wrote the rules, and we all appreciate similar things in an RP. I would do the same for them.
End rant...I am posting Ossanlin back in, but be warned, I'm whipping out the limited-mod card. (Only if absolutely necessary.)
