And I was never truly "Against" anyone, Mr. Chaos just happened to, unluckily, have been on the opposite side of my attempts to put logical corrections down in order to stop this madness.

Well, so far I liked the rp. And I like the idea that you control the environment. The way I see it, you provide me with stuff my character needs to overcome somehow. Way more fun then me having to think of all that stuff myself. Makes solving it so easy. Anyways, Ive been waiting for you to post something.
....I must confess, that's the first time I've heard someone say they actually liked this method. But I suppose that surely someone MUST like it for it to continue across the net.

You say you had a plan for something to happen to us in the sewers, but we weren't aware of such a plan, and since the others had exited the base without so much as mentioning a sewer or canalization and without even a single reaction from you (eg. "he exitted the place and walked down the street", "Aria began walking to the exit. Once she was outside, Aria headed towards a clothing store, she needed to change", "she walked out of the base"), we assumed that it would be alright for us to do the same.
And here's the major downside to this method of RPing. Speaking of which, I must apologize. I forgot that this method of environment instead of otherwise is actually another in of itself.
To control the environment like you do is actually called DM or "Dungeon Master" RPing. Inspired by the system of RPing made way back in the era of D&D. I've only entered one of these which is still going, and I have to agree that there is an upside to it, the thrill given does make one feel like their the character in the RP, makes one feel like how the character is feeling. BUT there is a downside or two. People and Patience has a ....What's the word I'm looking for, ...Inversive relationship. When one goes up, the other goes down. The more people you have, more impatience is seen in them and Vice-versa.
The other problem......Is actually exactly as Chaos said. Since he is the DM in this system, the RP can't work without him. Because, like in D&D, The DM controls what the player sees. The players acts based on what they see. They cannot act upon what they cannot see, and if they assume what they see the system falls apart, much like it is now.
For this reason alone, I'm not a fan of this system myself, but maybe it's because I have enough in my mind to be able to think about that stuff on my own. However, I am currently in an RP of this Method so I know well how it works.
