You can even excuse your charge by saying that you think HE summoned the mooks and your character then goes ragemode because he thinks Sabrac is attacking his saviours.
Again: what flame pillar? i didn't get exactly what you were doing.
It's not like you were watching. It's more like mooks can't teleport to where you are, so they must move to your position. That's exactly the same assumption you were making to my character.
I quote from my last post:
The tendrils of flame that had been crisscrossing randomly around his feet suddenly resolved themselves into a ring on the floor, and, with a blinding flash, exploded upward even as the dual wielder called out "Triangulate!" The shock wave the blast generated shredded the floor even further, hurling debris outward and knocking back those unprepared for it. As the flash faded, the boom of the explosion resolved into the roar of an inferno. Where Sabrac had stood there was now a pillar of flames reaching twenty or thirty feet in the air, and from the base of the maelstrom of fire rings of flame pulsed outward, feeding a second inferno that had sprung up in a circle between Sabrac and everyone else. The barrier of flames around the edge of the room rose and began to singe the cave roof, and above it all Sabrac looked down from where he floated atop the pillar.
Make sure you know what everyone else is doing.
I read, but I forgot. Either way I get it now.
My point here is that you are going to attack the mooks. I changed my post to say I was going to attack you while you were attacking the mooks. Not the best plan (I can see many flails) but my character isn't necessarily smart.
Sicon112 wrote:Also, trust me, Sabrac is just gonna stand there emotionlessly watching you guys do all the work until someone starts pestering him, which, seeing as he is on a pillar of fire, is gonna take some time. So yea, he was just standing there watching.
Zubats can fly, mind you.

BUT I ATTACK THE MOOKS AFTER YOU ACT! *tears out hair* You can't attack me like that until next turn! You must act on stuff that has HAPPENED! You cannot just predict that stuff without the other persons permission, and I didn't try and give it!

Yea, but mine happen AFTER yours! It doesn't matter if its a minute after or five years after, as long as it is after TIME DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY.

For example, I couldn't say that I saved Shane from the tag-team attack if he didn't first say that he was in trouble. You are moving Sicon's character for him, and that's a big no-no.

*sight* I have to go now, so I won't be fighting over this anymore. I still disagree with the fact that I'm controlling Sabrac. So, what do I write?

Just write that you attack some knights or something. Or you look at Sabrac flying on fire and decide it is easier to attack the witch. Just leave all the monsters there and do it in real time.

Write what your character's doing, not anybody else's.

Preferably something like this:

But as long as you do nothing with my character that happens AFTER then end on my last post, it's OK.

Just say "Sabrac was watching the battle" or whatever, and don't dictate what he does further, since right now, that's all he's doing until Sicon posts. Feel free to attack my charry, though, since I haven't posted yet to do anything, it's possible to reach me, and I'm willing to accept you attempt at an attack.

Like I said last time, as long as any mention of ANY character happens BEFORE the end of that characters LAST POST, it's OK. If it occurs AFTER that persons last post, it is invalid.

How about now?
Also, who's next? (and I think I will still needs Xana's protection. If Sabrac will use a room wide attack, being unscratched after it might be a paradox... wait, Xana is before him. Nevermind.
Damn it! My character is in his weakest form and vulnerable. Great. Plot helps me.

Xana's next. I'll begin gathering the nessecary materials for my post - Images, bgms, etc - and begin writing it up in the meantime. How many Zubats/Knights are left so far?

I'm OK with that. It technically happens after my post, but since I told you what I was doing then, it's OK and there isn't a contradiction.

We currently have 12 knights and 16 bats, I believe, and Xana is up. No heroism is needed ATM, so just go wild on the enemies.
Please remember that I would prefer it if you guys leave me 4 bats and a couple knights.

Vic's score: 0/0. Sorry. Had to point that out...
By the way... It didn't happen after sabrac now... So it's good. But seriouly? Didn't want to get any knight or zubat for yourself?
It's IT not I! Edited in...

He said it was. He just told me what he intends to do, and everything sounds like it works out perfectly.

As long as you ask them and talk about what you plan to do and agree on everything with them, it's OK.
