Every time something even remotely suggests there is a tiny flaw in his plans, abilities, or even existance itself, he gets a kneejerk reaction and overcompensates it with all the subtlety of someone taking a nuke to kill a house fly.<br /><br />His stream of thought is probably "Oh you see I am perfect and very very intelligent, the supposed flaw, and I reiterate, SUPPOSED flaw you claim to have found in my reasoning only plays into my masterful plan because you see, you failed to consider that me being the most knowledgeable and intelligent person here of course have preemptively enacted several measures to address that. Anyway now you are fighting my character and no, you don't hit him. And even if you hit him he's immune to everything, and even if damage gets through it doesn't matter, and even if that mattered your victory and your actions meant nothing because I am enforcing the most perfect and ideal iteration of reality and any attempt to deviate from it makes it non ideal. Did I mention I am very intelligent and have a very logical and reasonable counterpoint to whatever objections you may raise? Because I do. Anyway now you get to listen to my perfectly reasonable explanation for how my character, who is clearly the best thing to happen to the omniverse, reformed it to be perfect."Zoro the Galladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10724758740411269154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175768020594264444.post-89497656601367890822022-11-09T02:31:01.765-08:002022-11-09T02:31:01.765-08:00Glad to see this story is still popular to the day...Glad to see this story is still popular to the day.

Also, I think you might be both underestimating how attached people can become to their characters, and not considering various psychological tendencies of people, like the Sunk Cost Fallacy and the way some people react to impossible or frustrating challenges.

I attributed a lot of his mistakes to over-enthusiasm and the extreme stress we were all under.<br />I don't hate the GM who was Marty<br />But I hate Marty the character with an ice cold passion, I wasn't trying to win in a combat sense, I wanted to survive (I grew up playing AD&D 1-2e, so brutal loss was something I was not entirely unfamiliar with) although technically I view that ending as a victory, since I tricked him and escaped since he said Lilah took a portal to her home world and forgotten realms was stated to not be one of the 7200 realities, and had Rick's body preserved in ice and magically sealed with her.MM&Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105833574249722534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175768020594264444.post-1109107104355729822016-01-14T17:38:54.348-08:002016-01-14T17:38:54.348-08:00DM is hard work if you are doing it right, ZeRolle...DM is hard work if you are doing it right, ZeRoller was GMing another campaign, but we were very busy in college.<br /><br />I have gotten over some of my bad experiences I've had as a GM and started GMing again so that is something.MM&Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105833574249722534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175768020594264444.post-76885118015828351442015-07-28T14:32:38.157-07:002015-07-28T14:32:38.157-07:00Okay wow, i don't know where to begin, i spose...Okay wow, i don't know where to begin, i spose firstly commending all 3 of you for putting up with marty for as long as you did.<br /><br />throughout reading all of this i have only been monumentally impressed by Rick (holy shit dude, killed vadar, was willing to give marty a thermonuclear bear hug qctually HIT him in that fight), Lily's swords seems awesome, and Zeroller damn dude i can't not remember ever laughing as hard as i did when i read your first mission, solved it like a boss.<br /><br />I unfortunately can relate to hanging out with someone you hate, but guys, please oh please oh PLEASE leave this game, this marty guy has to have some sort of mental disability and playing this game is only toxic for you guys. <br /><br />Even better though, play your own game. My lord this system is stuipd, but fuck me is there potential for fun. <br /><br />Honestly guys, there is not going to be beating marty, im willing to bed hes immune to sunlight now, if u were to jump to the men in black world and nap a nurelizer, he'd be "immune cos im in god mode", your best bet, if any, would be to go back in time and sick another marty on him, but of course they would just work together.<br /><br />Damn this post is from august 2013 but i hope u guys read this, legit, you are playing again a guy who literally only loses if he chooses to, but you guys haver performed SO well despite this. You guys are playing with a multiverse against you, but far out parts of this story have been really entertaining. YOU. GUYS.

Have you eve...Victim-blaming for the win. /sarcasm<br /><br />Have you ever read a bad book all the way through, hoping it's going to get better? Or, let's say you love horror games, and you play one that's just bad, but due to some kind of error in your system it's the only one you can play. Are you saying you wouldn't play it?<br /><br />In hindsight, they should have bailed, but hindsight is 20/20. At the time, I'm sure they thought it was a good idea, and considering in an earlier post ZeRoller talked about how bad the general atmosphere of their university was, they probably didn't have their decision-making at 100%.<br /><br />tl;dr-The players made a bad decision in hindsight, but that's no reason to blame them.

I...I knew this ending was what was going to happen. I could see it happening in my head. And then when it happened, it still made me legitimately angry all the same.<br /><br />I applaud you, and everyone else who participated in this campaign, for your restraint. Had I been a player in this asinine and absurd exercise in futility and ego-stroking anti-logic, this would have ended with a funeral and prison time.<br /><br />And yet, at the same time, I find it hard to pity you, because you actually stayed there and put up with it, instead of kicking every one of his teeth out of his smug grin and walking away, never to return, after the first few sessions. You sat there and took it, voluntarily.<br /><br />Its a question of who is worse, the smug idiot commanding the monkeys to dance as he whips them, or the monkeys, who sit there and dance even though they are free to scurry away at any time?<br /><br />Frankly everything this guy did was beyond simple bad GMing, it was downright insulting to his players. He routinely abused you all, and I, for the life of me, cannot understand why on earth you put up with it. A lot of people say "There was no one else to play with". I guess my only answer to that is, "don't play at all then," because frankly, playing nothing sounds better than playing this offensive mess.Ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06017611861983342306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175768020594264444.post-70239831776217687752014-07-11T03:29:48.625-07:002014-07-11T03:29:48.625-07:00What what exactly is the Jedi Problem?What what exactly is the Jedi Problem?Nezumihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919226245219984292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175768020594264444.post-26846466394802762752014-07-07T04:29:31.005-07:002014-07-07T04:29:31.005-07:00I...

So yeah the fight was basically designed to require the 2 artifacts we had to win, which we didn't end up using due to 1.not wanting to piss off his pet empire and 2. stupid miscommunications, which I had tried to clarify several times, given that both Rick and the GM were on the same page I will assume that it was discussed at some other point (like the time before I went through)<br />-as a sidenote: the antimagic ring artifact was also the superlich's phylactery, which when taken through the realities let him do so and be immune to marty? (directly?)<br />-Actually given that he promised he would allow us to go 'home' I assumed he used cheat powers to do so, my character was not from a setting he was using therefore Lily took Rick's body preserved in a card, with his sword and blaster off to parts unknown outside the multiverse, with the ring I guess ... so uh may be some awkwardness if he thinks he is re-spawning in the same multiverseMM&Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105833574249722534noreply@blogger.com
