Hi gang,
now we've been playing the Tribal game for a little while you may have noticed that I occasionally edit your posts and/or add edit requests in the form of Quote: boxes such as this:
Any time that you may find these in one of your posts it is for usually one of three reasons:
1) Modified a previous post
I may occasionally modify another players post previous to the most recent post made by yourself. In this case I will highlight the changes made in that previous post that need to be included in the edit of the post in which I have requested the change.
2) There is a 'mistake' in the post
If a post is made where, apart from grammatical and spelling errors, a statement, paragraph or phrase is used which contradicts a post made previously by another player I will specify what I believe is the correction required and why.
3) There is an 'incorrect' usage of 'powers'
The last and simplest of the three uses of edit requirements. If I feel a player has misunderstood the specification of his/her power(s) and has used them in a manner which conflicts with the Marvel Super Heroes rulebooks I will point out the error with an explanation.
Whenever I make these comments they are solely intended to improve gameplay and/or the flow of the story. They are not personal criticisms and should not be treated as such - they're meant to be presented with the best possible intent and goodwill. If you feel 'upset' at the way I may have phrased something or that I you feel I have misjudged your intent in some manner please let me know as that will not have been my original intent.
On a final note if, after discussion of the matter in question (whether resolved to both parties satisfaction or not), my last decision will be final and no further discussion of the matter will be entertained.
Thanks,
Silverback

This is a quote box!
Any time that you may find these in one of your posts it is for usually one of three reasons:
1) Modified a previous post
I may occasionally modify another players post previous to the most recent post made by yourself. In this case I will highlight the changes made in that previous post that need to be included in the edit of the post in which I have requested the change.
Example: "You know, I am not too sure if they are... But we'll try... We'll manage I am sure".
One last sigh about losing her cloak and on they went. They needed to get out- and fast. Bengaline found the exit door to the fire escapes. Tomahawk seemed to get heavier and heavier in her hands.
Since her hands where occupied with holding Tomahawk, she turned her back towards the door.
"I am sorry, I know this is not very lady-like... but it will work..." and with those words she threw herself against that door.
With a squeal of protest the hinges and doorframe gave way and popped open, spilling Bengaline out backwards onto the fire escape.
"Does that answer your question?? it's still here!" Bengaline said, gasping for air.
With a huge *woomph* and a rush of air Bengalines hair fluttered wildly in the breeze as the furnace sucked in huge gulps of oxygen to feed the hungry flames of the raging torrent inside the building.
The section in italics is the modification I made to Bengaline's post which meant that I requested MadClergy to make a small modification to his post to reflect this extra information he did not previously have.

If a post is made where, apart from grammatical and spelling errors, a statement, paragraph or phrase is used which contradicts a post made previously by another player I will specify what I believe is the correction required and why.
Example: Bengaline was trying to keep Tomahawk in her arms. He was heavy and she was getting tired. "Whatever happend to gentlemen trying to help ladies carrying a big guy???" she said, looking at Antonio, while still happy that they had made their way half way out.
She saw flames fed by the oxygen snapping at her, she pulled him and herself away.
Then she picked up on something - it was a thought...Khalifas thought - something is going on -
suddenly she heard noises, it seemed like the house was going to collapse...
Khalifa was using the radio handset not his communication power (it only works on animals and your character when in animal form). Could you edit the post to suit please? Thanks, SB

Example:She held Tomahawk with one hand - and changed into an eagle again. Her claw was now firmly gripping Tomahawk . She wanted to yell out to Antonio to reach out for her second claw, but only a screeching noise came out. "Did he hear me???" Bengaline thought.
When you change into an eagle you will become the size of a normal eagle. Wouldn't be strong enough to carry Tomahawk. Thanks, SB
