I just stopped laughing.
Milander, I don't know what is your thing. And really, it is your thing, not mine. But Larmiun's is decency and he didn't started this inter player violence. That was Albrecht. He even confesses that when he said.
Albrecht Delmorn:
So drawing your weapon and threatening someone aren't actions that will spark violence?
This is what it started it all.
Albrecht Delmorn:
"We cannot let this group fall to lawlessness. We are not an authority to make decisions like this, regardless of your past, or your temper," Albrecht responded, looking to Milander and Ailishi in turn as he spoke. "Remove your blade from his shoulder, or you will have mine in yours,"
That is a threat. Ailishi was just intimidating a bandit leader and he threaten him out of nowhere. I see an opposed roll made by the bandit leader against Ailishi's intimidation. What if the bandit now has a bonus on the next opposed roll because he knows we have a Bandit-lives-matter activist among us? Ah, right, at least two Bandit-lives-matter activists. I forgot about Velox.
Speaking of Velox, what is the difference between this Velox...
Velox:
I'm pretty sure that ray needs to be ret-conned so we can all roll initiative and such, or I can just slam Ailishi with my flail since his weapon is stuck in the bandit for this turn :).
And this one?
Velox:
I am all for stopping where we are. Honestly, I don’t really feel like being involved in a PVP game and would request that if that is what the DM would like that we split this game up into separate groups permanently.
The answer? This:
Ailishi Urcmon:
Ailishi stands up, pulling the blade and opening it even more.
Milander Vos Drago:
Alright OOC Diplomacy check by moi! *rolls*
OMG! Such a high OOC Diplomacy check!
Milander Vos Drago:
Why don't we do this....
Is there some way that everyone might STOP what they are doing?
Each of you, what would convince you to completely stop trying to whip your dicks out and see whose is bigger?
Like, if Milander displayed some impressive magic, could that conceivably intimidate everyone into just stop dicking around about how veiny and throbby their dicks are, so that we can go back to following the hooks in the DM's story?
<Sarcasm>But of course! I don't have a dick and even I can see this is dick contest. And naturally the first option to end it is that you show us how big, long, thick, potent and throbbing yours is! Milander, you are a genius!</Sarcasm>
Milander Vos Drago:
only 2 of which are likely to wind up with the DM rewarding us for playing into his story-line and not ruining the game he's been working hard on.
<Sarcasm>Your OOC Diplomacy check is so fucking high! But of course you should be rewarded by the DM! Your first idea to intimidate everyone into submission using your character's magic is great!</Sarcasm>
Albrecht Delmorn:
Wow, a readied action to hit me with a firebolt if I speak? That's oddly specific, but okay I suppose... now to decide whether or not to murder Larmiun. Hmmm...
Why decide? Go to the Dice Roller and roll 1d2.
...
Now, seriously speaking. This is a matter of trust. Everyone can deal with IC trust. I mean OOC trust. If we are going to play together, we must trust each other as players.
Velox idea of dividing the group may be the best option if we can't find a common ground of trust. I don't think that can be possible at this point. Problem is that the DM must find a way to manage both groups and that means essentially two games. We can't force a DM to do that.
I don't know how powerful Elmo is. And IC, noone cares. Everyone is too busy in threaten people or getting ready to fight. He may choose a side. He may wipe out everyone. He may put one of those spells to force us to do something, like not killing each other. He may even sit and watch things unfold, deciding that it is best to know which are the best warriors, so they can kill his enemies later, in an honest to god mortal kombat recreation. For that, a map is needed along with everyone's initiative. That is for the DM to decide.
We can write a PM to the DM saying who we trust more to play with. DM can then count votes and decides which ones he keeps in his game.
I saw let's wait for the DM.
