on the one hand, ayrt tentatively had me up until "shame culture" and three months IS a damn long time
on the other hand, as a player of more than one op character, your character is not their powers. some of my favorite scenes have had their base in "this op character is nerfed somehow and put in a situation their opness would normally never allow them to get into". it's a way to explore their more human side

if you can't make a thread for them on kiwifarms then don't bother
the point went entirely over your pointy little head
Valhalla for the worthy, r/EnoughTrumpSpam for the rest
KAYVIN as War (can divide any group into petty internecine conflict)
NEKO as Famine (is both thirsty and capable of inducing extreme thirst in others)
THAT MASTER as Pestilence (spreads everywhere like a disease that no vaccination can contain)
MECHASOSA as Death (sat on a green horse, killed bakerstreet for days)
BONUS:
SELWYN as the Whore of Babylon (actually called herself this lol)
SAFESPACEMOD as the False Prophet ("the two party system is finally dead!" fuck you you lying cunt)

no, characters are not their powers, but whether or not a powered character has their powers will often drastically affect their development. i play an insecure character who's uncomfortable with his powers, and if i join a game that allows for powers, it's usually because i'm itching to play an arc where he comes to terms with what he can do and learns how to control it and use it for good. sure, not having his powers doesn't make him unplayable and i can still find things to do with him, but it's not what i apped hoping to play. three months of power loss means three months of him being happy to pretend his powers don't exist, and it would be really hard for me to find a reason to make him deal with what i apped him to deal with.
that's just one example, but there are reasons to be annoyed with this besides being mad that you no longer have an easy excuse to play constant op curbstomping fight scenes.

I have to agree with this. Sometimes it's not the powers that are hard to let go of it's the way the character deals with them. It's definitely no big deal to have occasional power loss but if the character's powers are something giving you some kind of character angle to play with, it can be annoying if it drags on.
In shorter plots, it's fine because you can just enjoy the plot for a while and then get back to whatever you wanted to play with after it's over. But with longer plots, it can sometimes interfere with power-related character stuff you wanted to play for way too long. Three months is definitely a long time. That's even a long time just to have a game locked into a plot in general.
tbf if I was in a game that was doing that, I wouldn't be shaking and crying over it. I'd maybe hiatus though. Hiatusing if you find a plot boring is perfectly reasonable.

presuming you squalling titfants reported it to begin with and it hasn't been dealt with in spite of that report, note it says "at risk for deletion" not "we will nuke everything that flusters your over-invested booty"
get over your grudgeboner awbrey

so if you don't like what a game's doing, you'll squat instead of dropping?
da here and that seems like a good plan to me
if nothing else your inevitable plurk salt will make it all worthwhile

this thread wasn't reported until a day ago and it usually takes a day or more for threads to be dealt with if the mods aren't online at the time. not everything is a conspiracy, anon.
the mods have said repeatedly that this plot is a big part of the overall story of the game and the setting. it isn't for no good reason, they didn't do this plot to make you miserable.
there are a ton of different ways to use a plot for CR, for character development, to have fun with it. the dissenters (and they are an embarrassing small minority to be quite fucking honest) aren't even giving it a chance.
that's what pisses me off.

what if they don't find it fun? are you suggesting drop from a game and reapp when it's over?
if the mods hadn't said they were reducing the length of the plot would you have known it was going to last 3 months?

who drops over a single plot
presumably the game is going to go back to normal after it's over so it's not worth dropping completely over

two people put in an application for the same person. game doesn't accept challengers.
person 1 had the character originally reserved, but it expired. they sent in their application first.
person 2 reserved the character after person 2. they sent in their application second.
soooo, who would rightfully get to app in that character?

if they sent their application first, how did the reserve expire?
probably person 2, if their reserve was covering the time that person 1 sent in their application. if their reserve ran out and someone else grabbed the spot, it's you snooze, you lose. a reserve that hasn't run out trumps one that has.
unless both reserves ran out, in which case it'd be a first come, first served basis, so person 1.

I don't know this game but people throwing their toys out of the pram over core plot events because they aren't exactly what they apped into a game to play is just another example of how overentitled players can be and why we're running out of mods and games.
da, but i'd say drop the game and find a different one that will cater to their tastes.
i'm saying suck it up or gtfo, yes. if you aren't invested in the overall story of the game, then don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
