They tried to catch Beowulf Connor by surprise once and failed. Do you honestly believe that tactic will work twice?

I'm not going to tell you to let your character get killed, that choice is up to you. But you can't go around telling people how their characters act. You are in control of Beowulf, not the fire bugs, and there for it is not your place to tell Anowa how they can act.

I never told him how his characters should act.

Well you did say that is characters could only think about the fire, and that they had to be unintelligent.

If you think you can put together a little subplot, go ahead. I can help out aswell if you would like :)

Beowulf Connor said with a grin as he and Diana continued their journey north, knowing that the sicko attack bought them enough time to put some distance between them and what little remained of the gang that was hunting them.

I was about to bring that up. Several usually means more than five (although defined as more than two, but people usually use other words in which case) Combined with the two dead from 'zomg headshot' and flamethrower safety malfunction, means there's only be one left, Adrian.

I also noticed you pretty much ignored the fact that fire is hot, keeps going, and that flamethrowers have longer range than six feet. Hitting a moving target -let alone their head- would also be pretty fucking hard for someone used to hunting wild animals (which tend to only be shot when they aren't moving).

So was it a dead end alleyway or not? Because your post says it was open on both ends, yet you say it was a 'corner'.

Not a literal corner. The offending post was deleted. Of course, the fact that your post assumes that they were in the alley they had left can be considered godmodding.

Not a literal corner. The offending post was deleted. Also, they were already out of the alleyway.

(-_-) Allow me to give you a definition of cornered then for future reference:

cornered
[kawr-nerd]
adjective
1.having corners (usually used in combination):
a six-cornered room.

2.having a given number of positions; sided (usually used in combination):
a four-cornered debate.

3.forced into an awkward, embarrassing, or inescapable position:
a cornered debater; a cornered fox.


Glad to be of help.

By having my characters trapped in a life or death situation, you backed me, the player, into a corner. Of course, the fact that your post assumes that they were in the alley they had left can be considered godmodding.

Have them keep running, or better yet, get in a car and drive, Gasoline hasn't expired this far into the RP and I'm sure most people left their keys behind.

And the next time me or anyone else get something wrong, mention it, instead of jumping the gun. Shit builds up when people keep adding to the pile, then it tumbles down and leaves a big fucking mess. I'm not a rock, if someone mentions that I got something wrong, I'll fix it.

EDIT: Upon trying to edit my post, I noticed that I never once mention an alley. Only a pathway. So I didn't even back you into a corner.

(Delete everything in parenthesis)
Basic Information
Name: Jackson Clint
Age:17
Sex: Male
Gender: Cis Male
Birthplace: London, England
Appearance:
ImageImage



Skills:
-Hand-to-hand self defense
-Fencing and Swordfighting
-Athletic
Weakness:
-Stubborn
-Obsessive (Over Callandra)
-Doesn't really make decisions for himself.
Personality: Jackson generally comes off as a pretty decent guy. Whether or not he actually is, is somewhat questionable. He is loyal to one person, and willing to do whatever she asks of him. And what's asked of him may not be good things, but he'll still do it. Basically, he's obsessively loyal to her.
Biography: Jackson was born in London, before moving out to Bristol when he was about 10. He lived there happily for a few years, and then he started High School. For about two years, he went through the dreary motions of school. And then Callandra showed up. Beautiful, intelligent and cunning. He immediately tried to befriend her, but it didn't take him long to see that she wasn't the type of person to have friends. And so he decided to help her get what she wanted. And so, he just sort of casually helped her out, doing what she asked. He even had a hand in her becoming class president. He often acted as an adviser to her, as well, helping her figure out the best way to go about things. When the sickness started, he left her to go visit his sick grandparents in London, but things got bad fast, and leaving the city wasn't so easy.
Equipment:
-A handmade(By his grandpa) Replica LotR sword, made to be sharp and weighted like a real, actually usable sword.
-Picture of his family
-Handmade sheath for his sword.

Extra
RP Example: This RP :P
Theme Song:Suck at theme songs.
