Also... the amount of not posted secrets today worries me. Perhaps some of you could do with a refresher on the rules and regulations?

Re: Arby's anon! (Ho shi-- we're branching out!)

is something I must debate about! And say that yes, they do win because they are magically protagonists. Take YuGiOh, for example. The protagonist should, most often, never win! When they do it is a stroke of luck, chance, the villains fucked up, AN ANCIENT SPIRIT INVADED THEIR BRAIN AND STARTED KICKASS CRUISECONTROL! that sort of thing. Protagonists LEVEL UP! JUST in nick of time.

In my honest opinion? That makes it for a bad role playing (and writing too, IMO, I'm not familiar with YuGIOh, so I can't elaborate further opinion).

They have to maintain the balance of being their antagonist-y self as well as balance and maintain story atmosphere. They have to compensate and coordinate and work twice as hard as the protagonists. Is this fair? Nah, maybe not. But the very best RPs with antagonists are always the ones where it feels like canon, no matter how slated against the protagonists the situation is! Because you want to be recognizable from an outside perspective.

But we're in a multifandom rp, not in a canon TB rp, not in the novels (in which SO far, the antagonists HAVE the advantage and then the author died).

Sorry, but I don't agree.

Arby's again

It's totally chill to not agree. You go with that frosty, I'll go with mine. But this might be why people raise some brows at the RP feeling "RCO controlled" (remote operating conventions?) and stagnant. Since protagonists give combo meals of change and antagonists don't move. It's part of the game (in the series, not RP) to balance it out, you know. It's what makes it exciting. WILL SO AND SO TRIUMPH? WHO THE HELL KNOWS? Otherwise there's no knife-edge tension, nothing to stay tuned! for.

Jus' sayin', from my POV there's a reason why the characters might be drawing crit or question marks. And I can say that I've seen it work to be what I thought was rather sexyness in other RPs before.

It's chill if you don't like my definition of sexy! Totally frigid~.

I know what are you coming from, but is the antagonists who are giving those "combo meals" in this case? If you read threads above, OP has an issue with the GOOD GUYS not doing much.
