Sometimes you may want a roleplay scene to 'Fade to Black' for
whatever reason.
Some possible reasons:
1. The scene contains characters being sexually intimate.
2. You need to quit, but your character wouldn't just leave,
and only one other person is involved in the roleplay.
3. The content of the story is uncomfortable to you and you
don't want to write it out.
If you want to FTB, please use the FTB command.
Some dialogue with guiding questions and a short back-and-forth
that will allow you to summarize IC events with the player behind
the other character. In the end, this non-graphic summary will be
recorded in your log.
For a FTB, you can add possible mechanical outcomes to the
situation such as wounds or potential pregnancy.
The person instigating the FTB can put down initial values for
these outcomes, but the person accepting it will get to modify
those values. There are, however, some coded limits to those
modifications.
If 'pregnancy' is an impossibility from the instigating side,
you cannot make it a possibility. Moreover, pregnancy being a
possible outcome does not guarantee the effect; there are other
factor, including luck, that will decide that.
You cannot add wounds that were not originally stipulated, you can
only nullify them.
If you want to do the opposite of a FTB, and stop logging to
your log so that you can write graphic content that is not enabled
by the game rating, try the UNLOG command.
Staff Note:
We read logs sometimes for story purposes, and if there's something
we don't need to read that will be particularly gratuitous, please use
the UNLOG command.
