Changes of thread happen at my direction. Likewise scene changes, especially entering/exiting the guild and undercity occur at my description. Entering or mpving through areas containing NPC's happens when I describe them.

When attempting an action, two factors are required; a post describing how your sttempted act would be percieved, and a die roll, which might be secret or open for your attempt. The results of the doe roll are to be included ooc with the post, privately as needed, or even in a pm to me. As the majority of actions in GURPS can be resisted/defended against, you can only describe the attempt and mot the result.
Nothing will occur if youbpm "when I get a chance, I am going to do the thing" unless it is accompanied by both a descriptor and a die roll. This especially applies to things attempted stealthily-at least the pm needs the description and the roll.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 1):

If presenting a character for approval, GCA and GCS format is not desired, partly because it breaks down templates and scatters the parts, skewing several components, including disadvantage count.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 2):

once again, when posting a character
do not separate the contents of a racial kit.
racial kits contain disads that are not counted against your -55, unless the racisl cost is negative.

one of the issues I have with GCA is the disruption of racial kits.

please group all of the cost of your racial kits in one lump. and do not include it in Attributes

thusly:
[20] Half Ogre:
              (ST+4[40],IQ-1[-20],HT+1[10]
               DR1 [3], Fearlessness+1[2],
               Night vision 3[3];
               Ugly[-8],
               Social Stigma: Savage[-10])

relisting as grayed out in ads/disads is acceptable,  but list attribute costs without charging gfor it there.

thusly:
Att:
ST:16/17 [30] DX:10[0] IQ:9 [0] HT:12 [20]
HP:16 [0] Per:9 [0] Will:9/10 [0] FP:12[0]
BS:6.0[-10] MV:6 Dodge:9

Advantages:[23]
[20] Half Ogre:
              (ST+4[40],IQ-1[-20],HT+1[10]
               DR1 [3], Fearlessness+1[2],
               Night vision 3[3];
               Ugly[-8],
               Social Stigma:
[2] Lifting ST+1
