So, since this has happened. let me just say. Sometimes things happen that don't line up with your rolls for the sake of story. As a GM its her prerogative to tell her story. We're playing a game for her story. <div style='font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 7px; margin-left: -25px; color: #0A0'>Melnia yeah <div style='font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 7px; margin-left: -25px; color: #0021CB'>Kolena Ultimately when the GM makes a ruling, regardless of the rules of the engine, those are the rules of the game. <div style='font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 7px; margin-left: -25px; color: #0A0'>Melnia Also I think it's a pretty set in rule that GMs have final say <div style='font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 7px; margin-left: -25px; color: #00557F'>Tethys yeah gms being final say is like, rule 1 <div style='font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 7px; margin-left: -25px; color: #005500'>Kate fine gg i'm going to go work <div style='font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 7px; margin-left: -25px; color: #A7A502'>Vyllen Fuck :D <div style='font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 7px; margin-left: -25px; color: #004700'>Sorser like I said le sigh <div style='font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 7px; margin-left: -25px; color: #555500'>Meouet [internal screaming] <div style='font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 7px; margin-left: -25px; color: #004700'>Sorser I can see this from both sides of the fence. It is kind of unprecidented for the Time concept and we were grasping at straws to figure out what to do in this situation. On the other hand, arguing with the GM never helps a situation. <div style='font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 7px; margin-left: -25px; color: #555500'>Meouet I think the point is that when he was leveling kate, that he had a very specific skill that allowed him to use time super precisely and he didnt use it this time and then said it was a precise thing <div style='font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 7px; margin-left: -25px; color: #0021CB'>Kolena Yeah, and while it's okay to remind a GM of something if you're afraid they've forgotten, if they make a ruling proper gaming etiquette is to wait until after the game to make your case. <div style='font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 7px; margin-left: -25px; color: #7650C9'>Mari Or pester her privately.
