I can no longer execute surrendered enemies during interrogation because "the conversation was boring".

However, you CAN have your Capellan Accupuncturist execute them and dispose of the body because "the conversation
is done"

If a player is gone for a few sessions, and comes back, the npc's that knew his/her character will not be obsessed with "sending the dead back to death".

I cannot bring disciplinary executions into the planning sessions.

How about in the motivational training seminars? Is that fair game?

I cannot muffle the sound of my weapons by strapping POWs to them. Similarly, I cannot use them as pads to soften the passing of my tanks through a minefield to avoid detonation.

In Soviet Russia they agree with this: these are roles for Political Prisoners, not POWs

I cannot provide a distraction for the team's heist by running naked down Main Street doused in pig's blood and waving the arms of severed hookers.

I cannot use a shrink ray on people then stuff them into the pressure cooker or the garbage disposal as a means of execution.

My Bard should not commonly go Spetnaz commando on helpless Gnolls in an over-sized wheat field, mostly because is dis concerting to the other party members, and that daggers really don't do the trick properly. Bullwhips used at a garrote on the otherhand...

I cannot start a war between nations because I liked neither of their flags.

Sure you can, its not even hard. Record your self burning each flag, cg-replace your self with the leader of each opposing nation.

I cannot send nuke-carrying Rastafarians against the PCs again.

Hmmm. You mean it didn't work the first time?

Weirdo · « **Reply #284 on:** 26 June 2012, 08:53:21 »

They were meant to convert the PCs into free-floating atoms, not into more Rastafarians.

Falchion · « **Reply #285 on:** 26 June 2012, 09:03:50 »

I cannot continue to throw battalions of child soldiers at the PCs. Not when the battalions are arguably better equipped than they are.

I can not institute "Pantsless Thursdays" in a maximum security prison to improve morale. It does in fact have the exact opposite effect.

Perhaps you mean "carving"?

I don't know what you speak of. [blank] ;D

I cannot engage is Orwellian gaslighting.

Not allowed to list "surplus" Fire Moths on Blakeslist, even if it is the only light in a binary of medium 'Mechs.

Similarly, I cannot sell my commander and his staff to buy replacement parts for my 'Mech.

Think of the boost to the morale of the unit! That one might actually be worth pursuing.

I cannot follow through with threats to [Redacted for reasons of taste].

Keep it within the boundaries of good taste folks this is PG-13 forum that last post was over the top.

I cannot forget that this is a PG-13 forum... :-[

IMHO that last one wasn't much worse than some other things that have come through these threads. I've always considered this thread a place to dump horrors GMs/storytellers need to make villeins truly villainous.

That said...

When someone's stuck in a rut... lobbing explosives in the rut hoping said person will be ejected in the shockwave is not the best way to go about it.

That doesn't mean that the forum's standards for objectionable content have been lifted.

I cannot act the coward and demand that women and children be let off first in order to conserve weight in a sinking zeppelin.

I thought it was always "women and children first."
