This is Gladiator's department now so I won't really say much on the subject after today, other than that we all need to be a little more cautious about HOW we write the opponent in attacks JUST LIKE in segments.

Let's say you want to write up a segment for a show that involves you going and tracking down Tommy Gunn in his locker room. Now, obviously it would make perfect sense for you to write out the minor details about knocking on the door and him coming to answer it. You could even fill in some brief narrative that explains to us how Gunn seems to not be amused, or has a stern look on his face. You could then go on to say whatever you wanted to say and fill in SOME reaction within reason, but don't choose to have him speak if the segment is something you wrote on your own without getting his input on first. You CAN make it like he was ABOUT to say something but then he gets kicked in the dick first, though. After kicking him in the dick, you could then use common sense and mention how he gets pissed off/freaks out/goes nuts/whatever... because the point is, you're saying he retaliated... which makes PERFECT sense for him to do.

A lot of the pros over the years have made sure to include some retaliation from their victim in segments (and 24/7 pins), and going back in time I remember we used to encourage that sort of thing a lot more than seems to happen now. Sending in an attack that looks more like a back and forth brawl and sets up a lot of potential for the future IS BETTER than a random attack where you destroy somebody and make them look like shit. As long as you didn't take "creative control" of their character. That's the key here.

Long story short. The rule is the same everywhere. Segments, attacks, 24/7 pins... use discretion when filling in what the other person is doing.

I have a feeling your pin went to hell because there were multiple issues seen with it. The autoplay, the LACK OF A PIN in the first place, and then the way you wrote Gunn. The autoplay thing can be annoying and you probably should avoid them in pins, but it alone does not invalidate the pin. The LACK of a pin, does. That part IS written right in the rules for the 24/7 pin boards.

As far as having Gunn stand by while being talked shit to before the attack furthered, that's fine. As far as doing things like kissing people or other playful (non brutal) things you expect them to stand by for, that starts getting a little weird. Maybe Gunn can copy and paste the exact phrasing he took issue with though, I'm hoping. In this thread and the other thread on this, I must have missed where the exact point of concern is. I don't like having to speculate which action offended a person.
