Title: Traveling/Shelved PCs
Post by: Carter Heyward on July 27, 2009, 05:31:09 PM

Would it violate OWbN Bylaws if I took Scrabbles to the next HF game instead of Calvin (since he might be Warder)?

I believe it would, as a player may only have one active character per chronicle they participate in, so unless Scrabbles were becoming a HF PC again, his current status is shelved RAtC PC.

Sorry  :(

Can he shelve Calvin for a day?  :D

Can you transfer Scrabbles to HF effective immediately?

I mean, if Jared Cheveyo is based out of Philly...

I'm trying to move away from the short-term shelving of characters in order to play a different character that's shelved.  It gets into the realm of the "switcheroo game" that doesn't look good at all to other games/the org.

Andrew can certainly transfer Scrabbles to HF, but I don't believe that is his intention.  Particularly since Scrabbles was only recently transferred from a HF shelved PC, to an RAtC shelved PC.

Players may have only one active PC and only one shelved PC per chronicle.

My intention is to stay in RAtC, plain and simple, but I want to play Scrabbles.

I am caught in the dilemma of being intrigued enough to go to HF, but with no IC reason to do so if I beat Edina for Warder.

It seems like the real question though, is do you want to play Scrabbles, period?  There's always the option of shelving Calvin for a while and bringing Scrabbles in, though I require character switches to be at least six months apart.  If it's just a matter of wanting to play Scrabbles as an excuse to attend Hidden Flame where Calvin would not, then I don't know what to tell you  :-\

How fast can you resolve that challenge?

Calvin would have a number of loose ends to tie up, which would probably take longer than until this coming weekend.

Might I suggest possibly transferring Scrabbles to Springfield under Dan allowing you to play him and not have the character be in the same situation as before?
