Expedition: general discussions.

Well, it wasn't *that* crucial, considering there were so many options, I just didn't want to use them.

For you, it might be "so many options," but for me, it's just trolling and mockery. Someone even wrote to me on the forum: "Revan is just messing with you." But I still decided to "play it out to the end," and then it was "either the bag, or you all can go to hell..." I was also considering taking the item from that guy for 200, but if it turned out he was giving me garbage, it would all end with a "robbery" and me deleting my character for any negative consequences. Because, as I said, I won't play under the condition that "the GM does whatever he wants, and it's your job to 'swallow' it and ask for more."

Getting something for free or not is a matter of role-playing and whether the hero ended up in the right area. Revan's argument: "the master wanted to create a super-sword, but didn't want to deal with something unclear that was clearly outside his area of expertise" is quite reasonable.

I agree. But here's the thing... Erika was conceived based on 3 main principles:
1. Sorceress.
2. Loves to read.
3. Innocent and unharmed. No "romantic relationships" until the "training process" is complete. I didn't really have a clear idea of what the "training process" would be like, but now I can say that it was somewhere around the level of a mage, or at worst, a "specialist."

But after "certain events," point 3 transformed into "die a virgin..."

Regarding point 1, I could have taken a Lunar character, but the thing is, they have enhanced beauty, which could lead to certain problems regarding point 3. But as it turned out, I was wrong... Hello, Kamistella and Insho. In general, I was ready to "fight the randomness" for a couple of in-game weeks.
Regarding point 2, there weren't any problems, it seems, but for some reason, certain printed materials started requiring "OS" (presumably operating systems), which caused some problems, but not critically, since the ability to read other printed materials remained.
Point 3 is a separate conversation...

So, what do we have.
Alex got free gear worth 100+ and another 200 on top. And a lot of experience.
Loken got a katana (yes, the "piece of iron" cost 500, but the rest was free), a skill in unarmed combat, and money from the pirate. Yes, the "money" later backfired on him. So what? Was he hanged in the square? No. Was he "called to account" in the guild? No. He just sat in the pit along with me, and even lost fewer stats.
You'll say, "Sir Tann didn't allow him to be killed"? Well, why didn't he find himself in the middle of the desert with his ass bare, like Erika?
The Hero also got money for free and free transportation. Yes, transportation is now free for everyone, but that doesn't fundamentally change anything.
Astral got a mansion and a lot of money...

And so, what did Erika get... A so-so sword and 50 for the entire game. Oh yeah, and 250 for the house that was eaten by mushrooms...
Okay, I accept that the master had some "personal interest" in the katana. But who here could appreciate "Erika's careful attitude towards books" and give her a bag for free? No one! Not even the head of the quill and ink guild...

Alex got gear for what? Loken got unarmed combat for what? Astral got a mansion and money for what? For being "thugs" and rich in the quest? Well, Erika's entire lineage is in magic... So? Where is her talent on the very first day, and a mage position, huh??? Yes, she eventually got the talent from the knight. But here's what I'll tell you... It would have been better if the knight had given her a unique skill called "withering of pods." Explain what that means, or will you figure it out yourself?

In short, my character "didn't fit into the world." So what am I doing there?

Typical GM character.

Well, thank you. Now I know for sure that there's no point in continuing, because the "quest" "Revenge on Jingo" is basically impossible, and I'm not going to "swallow" what happened.

Not for a mistake, but for absolutely any action. But I think we warned about that, or did I warn Astral after his first time 🤔 I'm already confused.

I wasn't told anything. Astral was. But I only found out about that recently, when I read half the forum. I was even lied to when I asked, "can GM characters be killed?" They said, "you can kill them if it's not some kind of king." Although, no, someone did tell the truth:

🐱🐲: GM characters can only be killed if the GM allows it. Otherwise, they will either be invulnerable, or you can kill them, but it will be your own fault...

Now I see that the posts on the forum about "honest and fair Revan" are also the truth, and not just "subjective perception"...

And in general, Yaschur, you should have started earlier. You would have had time to play in my campaigns. I have a different approach. A random merchant probably wouldn't have killed you. But a random goblin would have stolen Erika's panties with a 99.9% probability

I don't know what you mean by "stealing panties," but that would probably also have led to self-deletion. No, I won't go to your campaigns again, thanks...

By the way, regarding the stealing of panties... If they had been stolen then, I certainly wouldn't have killed Loken's character on the first encounter, as some people thought. But if I met another jerk like the one in the university, he would, yes, "go to the afterlife," if "telling him to go to hell" didn't help. And it wouldn't matter if it was an NPC or someone from the players decided to "troll Yaschur." My further participation would depend on the "success" of the above action and its consequences...
