Maybe I missed something in the FAQ, but I don't understand how to post
an action a character is going to take against another one. Can somebody
enlighten me, please?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you mean "how do I get another
player to let me shoot at his player?", or do you mean "what kind of
shadowtk message do I send about it?". The answer to the former is "ask
him/her nicely", and to the latter is "however you want, as long as it's
within the normal s-tk format".

Here's what i mean, do i say "I'm going to kill" you in s-tk format, or
do I type" Gweedo is going to go after Johnson until he is dead"? Also,
do I do this on PlotD, or s-tk. I want to make it like Gweedo actually
killed his sorry butt(Yes I know I also control Johnson, but i was very
evil that night :-)).

Thanx for liking my post, i figured this would be typical of Johnson.

Amusingly enough, I don't blame Johnson for not paying. Who really
wants to pay for a bunch of innocent people getting slaughtered.
*smiles innocently* HAMMER? Yeah, he would do that, but then again
he is dead.

Seriously though ...

If you feel it is necessary for Gweedo to broadcast his punch, use a
post to threaten Johnson. If he follows through, then you will have
to figure out how the action was captured. Either Gweedo could brag
about it, or maybe it was caught on camera and someone decides to show
the footage.

Paul, Brian (who is on spring break anyway), and Mark -- my apologies
for not keeping the story rolling this week. Sort of got surprised by
work. I'll see what damage I can do this weekend. *smile even more
innocently* Paul and Mark, send me off-line what the state of Florida
is at. With all the confusion in my life, I'm not sure what details I
need to give you to keep the chaos going.

M.
