[Darkest]

I thought we were supposed to write about this on the Oddworld Council, FireFrog!

You may give these numbers up, but I never will, in any RPG I run. Without numbers, no one cares about the story and just goes about trying to power themselves.

If you people AGREE right now and right here, that you will, from now on, swear to do every action for the good of the story, for the good of the RPG, to make it readable and entertaining, then I will abandon numbers right now.

You must look at your characters as real characters! You must not treat them as if they were gods, and you must treat all other characters with power. If killing another character will make the story great, then by all means do it! If you will respect eachother's posts, and WRITE as well as rolepay. If instead of fighting for power, you fight for a story others will read and be proud of... Then I will abandon my views and numbers.

This means that moolah will not exist, for that is also a number. You must buy things from moolah you find on the journey, and you must be humble with the moolah you get. There will be no player shops, just an ongoing story.

You either drop numbers completely, or you take them up with your hands full of them.

If you feel that you can't take this responsibility for the good of the story, then I, Darkest, will take up the responsibility as Lord of Numbers.

I will calculate everything, I will calculate stock and Moolah Numbers. I will coordinate battles and character stats. I will determine random situations and realism. If you don't want to give up Moolah, then you don't have to care about the numbers.

If you keep your Moolah, then give me the responsibility of the Numbers. You don't even HAVE to think about the numbers, I will tell them to you. If you ask what number of damage you do, I will reply. You can keep your world of numberless battles, and never have to calculate anything, and I, Darkest will be your calculator?

Which will it be?

Give up your Moolah and accept the responsibility of the Story or...
Keep your Moolah and give the title of Lord of Numbers to Darkest, and never have to do any math.

I don't demand to be a Mod, or even a Mini-Mod. I want to help this forum, and there are only two paths to perfection.

You choose.
