Subtlety is for losers.

Your proposal is... what, this?

Quote:

Should he just be limiting himself to more general strategic advice, and we assume that everyone follows the plan we make OOC out of their own initiative? Cause that could work.

Yeah.
Basically, we have our enemies in front of us. We discuss what should happen OOC, make the plan. Then I make my post.

Quote:

Impact goes all "Ok, let's focus damage on A, B and C! Somone incapacitate D and E! And (Ally), now might be a good time for your signature technique!

He'd be just designating objectives, which targets are most important. We'd have worked out who attacks what OOC, but, in-character, characters would work out the micro-management themselves. Like, if we decided that Pierce and Harliette should take out A and B, you could make a post in which Pierce goes solo and just gives orders to his pokemon, or he could talk to Harliette and coordinate with her. Just go "Hey, I'll do this, you do that, A should die from that!". That gives opportunity for characters to show initiative, and for PCs and NPCs to interact with one another a bit more.

I think it'd be cool.

Well, yeah, it would be. But I was expecting Impact to want to have more control over our characters.

Geminex · 06-04-2010, 09:05 AM

It would be sufficiently gradual.
And hey, control comes in many forms. Maybe Rayleen can explain something along those lines to him, and he realizes that she's right, using only your allies' power isn't sufficient, you need their ingeneuity as well! Learn to trust them when you can. Let their minds work as much as their bodies.

You know, maybe we should slow down. It feels like we lost someone somewhere along the line.

That's a good point, actually. Let's wait a bit for Dante to catch up. What with illness and... work as well? Poor guy.
