The DM's role would be very small. Almost all of the narrative would be handled by the players. Once the boss enters the scene, the DM handles that and any necessary scene bits, or to veto an action that is either out of place, came out of left field, or otherwise is something that will conflict too much with the game. Meaning, you can't pull a nuke out of your ass. Your character can be awesome, but there are checks and balances in place to keep it from being a god-mode fest.

Sooooooo you're not going to be a sadistic, evil, cruel, demonic control freak then, Quickie?

Well, still a couple things I need to hammer out, first... like a plot. And my brother is working on a dice roller and character sheet generator.

Perhaps I could help with the plot? I like plots! Maybe we can stroke our plot pleasure centers together tonight over Skype?

Well, how I planned to set this up would be to introduce a cheat sheet of the rules and hold a signup period. People sign up, create character sheets, signups end, and the game begins. Once the topic is labelled "game in progress," no more players can join in. They would need to wait until the next game.

Sounds like fun to PB! Let's do eet!

Well, perhaps if we have a set of rules and no one is taking control of other people's characters, we wouldn't be in this mess. Wushu was to solve that problem, and I'll be working on a shortened version of the rules soon. Hell, we'll have character sheets, a dice roller, everything. And the best part? You control your character. Only your character (and whatever mooks you beat up, random NPCs who have anything to do with your narrative at that time, etc.), no one else's. This should reduce the butthurt, as that seems to be the biggest issue.

But since the people who wanted to play decided to leave because they can't seem to figure out how to freakin' just ignore Ruri, then I'm wondering if there's even a point to this whole thing. You're all getting bent out of shape over one person. One. Person. One. Person's. Attitude. That. You. Can. Easily. Ignore. By. SKIPPING. OVER. HIS. POSTS.

Sad, isn't it? Or funny, depending on how you look at it!

For the record, I'll still play with you!
