    So what is the crew of the Ursa Majoris doing, then?

    I kinda agree with Loeli about the whole feud thing. I tried to give Matt a whole excuse for stayin' with the crew and cooperatin' an' all, but nooOOoooo.

    I take full responsibility. I've just been pissed off at everything and was taking it out on the game. I apologize fully and sincerely.

    It doesn't really help that I have no idea where Matt is going with this.

    The problem is I really don't want to kill of Speed and Ytlkrek. I've already saved Mr. Scorp once, and don't feel quite as bad about that.

    I'm sort of at a loss.

    He just wants to see what happened to everyone he knew. That's it. After that, he's going back to the crew.

    De?ad, Loeli is all for extracting revenge and burning speed alive in his car just as he crosses the finish line (because a cruel death will have the best impact at that point)

    I'm saying as a player I don't enjoy the prospect. Players' opinions of each other are bound to change, even if it is just role playing. Nobody's perfect. Me, scarlet, as a player, is saying I don't wanna deal with this.

    I dunno. Maybe I'll just take a break till you guys figure out what's going on.

    Anti, unless Matt is REALLY retarded (thought he was just fakin it), he'll realize he isn't just gonna 'go back to the crew'
    I mean, i'm sitting here trying to wrap my mind around a situation in which they don't get killed... or kill Gary. Neither of which I want to roleplay.

    I completely understand, Scarlet.

    I'm trying to figure out a way to fix it, but nothing's jumping out at me at the moment.

    I can think of one, but I'm not totally sure about it, as it is stolen from the pages of the very worst comic retcons.

    And it'd be dumb to just retcon this. I mean, there's gotta be some sort of conclusion. I just don't wanna be a part of it. I love playing loeli because she's so awkward, but I got a backup. I really don't care how it concludes. I just wanna go back to fun adventuring and reasonable character development.

    Same here. Let's get back to adventuring. But seriously, it makes no sense for Speed to go stealing the ship like that, with Matt. None at all.

    See, Speed could have left at the next planet. So could Matt. The ship theft was totally unnecessary.

    To be honest i'm not arguing that speed and matt wouldn't have done this! I mean, they might have!

    I just don't want to deal with a fallout that great because I dig you dudes and it is kind of a shitty thing to spend a good deal of time trying to kill another guy's character. also metagaming will probably increase like 9000%. and metagaming is the worst.

    at any rate i'm gonna think about my blacula just in case some shit goes down.

    It really was a dickish thing to do. Very cinematic, but still dickish. Unfortunately, it has happened now, and we must find a way to deal with it.

    I'm half tempted to just let Speed and Matt run off on their own, with the Urson chasing them - Avoiding the inevitably fatal reunion until it is perhaps somewhat less inevitably fatal. This seems unsatisfactory even to me.

    I say we have everyone weigh in on the issue.

    How will this little quarrel end?

    I could just have the Urson workforce kill them off off-screen, and Matt can roll up a new character or not as he so chooses. Perhaps a mysterious Racer Z (and partner Racer Y) could join the crew of the Majoris.

    Like I said, I'm at a loss.

    What do you guys think?

    I have no idea how but I would love for this to end with the crew back together and no player vs. player fighting!

    It ended up that I had to make a decision between doing what my character would actually do and what I would prefer to have happen as a player, and I went with the former choice, maybe for the worse!

    the problem is partly that shit happened that crew got very divisive over

    i mean, you can entirely blame players because they're just doing what their characters would do, and part of what makes this so great is that people do their characters so well

    that said, I have no idea how this can resolve peacefully. maybe intervention by a higher authority? beats me

    Fuck it. No more PvP crew killing ship stealing bullshit. If Matt and Speed want to go adventure on their own, let 'em.

    Let's just get back to doing stuff.

    I am more than willing to have Speed killed off and/or written out of the story if that's what it takes. I have another character lined up.

    Well, as Dubh and others have stated, we just wanna get back to adventuring. BUT that puts a lot of shit on De?ad's plate. I mean, we've all put a lot into our characters, but he's also put quite a bit into this entire universe.

    None of us want to retcon the whole universe since we all seem to quite enjoy it and the possibilities that the space opera realm offers, so we're going to have to come to some sort of consensus on how this might end without relying on De?ad as the GM to just make everything work out.

    What kinda of things are people thinking? It'd be nice to have Bear, Anti, and Speed weigh in on it since they're major players in what went down.
    With Dubh being 'wherever he wants to be' we, as players, have a sort of wild card in helping De?ad to resolve the issue.

    Barring what DE?AD says,

    Dubh gets bomb ready midflight and locks down the ship (afterall, he's First Mate).
    Speed gets a change of heart.
    Locth is all 'WTF?'
    And Matt... that won't be pretty.

    also, it sounds like Speed and Anti both dislike the course in which their characters have gone with that one and also want to get back to adventuring.

    I dunno. A lot of us also have backup characters. It's not like it'd be the best solution to have any character die, but we've gotta figure out how to get past this.

    Here's a short-term fix: have something big and bad happen, to both groups. Some more immediate concern that gives us a reason to turn away from this pvp nonsense.

    We can work out a longer-term solution later. Personally I don't want any of the characters to get axed, I like all of them.

    edit: suggestion summary: these are problems for future us to deal with. let those chumps sort it out.

    PvP in something like this should only be accomplished with checkmates. Easier to deal with.

    you have crayons because Tommy opening up a coloring book and going to town when there's some downtime is funny to think of

    Then weigh in I shall!

    I don't know how to deal with Matt since that kind of isn't my jurisdiction, but the easiest way to resolve the shit with Speed is either:

    -He gets killed by the crew
    -He escapes the crew and has a happy life racing and starting a family with Ytlkrek.

    Either way I switch to one of my alternates. Speed would probably only rejoin the crew if they killed or abandoned Gary and considering that this mess wasn't Bear's idea I don't think that's a fair solution.

    I have been doing stupid bullshit since thread #1 and it's probably about time I got slapped on the wrist for it!
