<p>So if you ever feel like things are better and wanting to give it another whirl, I'd gladly game with you again, even if it may be temporary.</p>

Most days I could get to all six, though there were occasional slips where I missed that I had a declaration or RL intervened. The past year and change of my life have not been all that great, including repeated illness for myself and loved ones, a lot of difficult family stuff, and generally poor mental health. It’s been a regular crap tsunami. As all of you know, I’ve struggled to keep up even after shifting to resolving each game every other day. You have all been great; I just don’t have it in me to keep going as I have been. </p>
<p>Every GM makes a promise when they start a game that they’re going to be here and try to give you a good experience. This is me breaking it because I just can’t anymore. I have told myself many times that next round or next week I’ll be back on the d20. I recruited for replacement players on that premise. It hasn’t happened. You deserve better than I can give.</p>
<p>I’m sorry. Thank you all for putting up with me and I hope I was able to bring some happiness to your lives through these games. Know that you brought some to mine.</p>I used to be very regular about my PBPs.

In short, you don't go back to a situation you just had, and avoid cycling back to an identical board position. (specifics depend on ruleset used)

In our case, we were at the top of the elevator. Going back up, then, would place us again in a situation at top of elevator with the interesting parts to explore below. Of course, it does not exactly apply here since we could have switched out team members and sent someone else down, but practically, to keep going forward, we don't want to stall back into a previous overall status. :)</p>@Chaia: Basically, a rule that avoids deadlock in Go.

<p>Chaia, you ever considered screwing acrobatics, going for bluff, and asking Samnell to replace 'Reckless'-trait with 'Unabashed Gall' instead?<i>(Your total indifference to the law even as you’re breaking it is such that those watching you are stunned.)</i>
<br />
Benefit(s): Whenever you commit an unexpected and outrageously unlawful act (such as knowingly destroying or stealing something) that would elicit a hostile response from another creature, you may attempt a Bluff check opposed by the opponent’s Sense Motive check. If you’re successful, you and any allies who were willfully expecting your unlawful deed may act in a surprise round. For each ally willfully expecting your unlawful deed, you take a cumulative –2 penalty on your Bluff check. If your Bluff check fails, there is no surprise round. Regardless of whether your Bluff check succeeds, you and any allies willfully taking advantage of your unlawful deed treat your initiative checks for the duration of combat as though you had each rolled a 1.</p>
<p>I mean, Janus IS expecting you to do something. And unless it's entirely lethal, you go with "but its what my char would do" - that standing restraining order is for your safety, nothing else. :) Could certainly get some mileage out of that one...(I know the flavor points in a more thug-gy direction, but that "rash, unexpected action" thing is totally Chaia)</p>If we continue letting Chaia open like this...
