event logs filled with open scenarios of characters standing around and looking pretty. or standing around and thinking without outwardly showing any sign of it.
it just gets kind of tiring to have to be the one creating a reason for the encounter. there should be something to react to in the opening tag unless the only thing they're interested in is existing cr.
fair enough if that is the case...but it still kind of sucks.
When I see a log with Beautifully Thoughtful Characters doing nothing but Beautifully Thinking Deep Thoughts, I like to tag it with my biggest jerk and have him run into them.
You wanted people to adore your character's Poetic Deep Thoughts without giving a hook to respond to? Have a petty fight with a loud moron instead.
Man, I'd love for this to happen to me. I mean, I know what you were going for, I totally agree, and the beautiful thinking and doing nothing doesn't actually apply to my characters--I always have hooks--I just like negative CR. It'd be cool to have some jerk just show up and fuck shit up for the hell of it. :c ♥
Even if it's not likely, wouldn't it be funny if the player actually doubletaked and went "you know, this is actually interesting."
