What Warren said is agreeable that you -can- make a decision whether you want to keep that plot memory in your character's background or just completely erase it from the boards because you feel that it is not helping you to progress further part of the plot because you wanted something bigger for the future with that Player B.
If someone stabbed my character by accident and he's in jail because of his mistake and then he PMs me that he wants to retcon because he made a mistake - I won't hold it against him and agree to cooperate. I retcon sometimes if I have to, and me retconning the whole Garlean story for my alt and etc has to be altered now since it is confirmed that Garleans who are pure blood have no abilities to use aether magic.
Let the cards collapse and make it into a newer deck and reshape the cards into a house again. Never said the house of cards had to remain as it stands.
You should be using these events, good or bad, to shape your character. You can't just erase what you don't like.
There are TIMES when a person needs to erase it when it's necessary. It's not your decision to say what they can do and what they cannot do. You aren't the developer of the game nor the game master of the game. You can freely ignore players or myself if -you- think your roleplaying style doesn't match with other players.Â
What you are saying is "Oh you made a mistake and you are ruining your character and your player skills. What you've done is permanent. I will not consider you to fix anything because you already made a mistake in-character."
What's the point of RPing if there's no continuity or consequences for your actions?
