Nope. See how different areas are colored? Those are different sections. It costs 1 action to move to a different section. So if you wanted to go from Section A to the Cockpit, that'd take an action. You can move freely in your section without using an action though.

But someone can't jump from section D to section A for example.

Sure, why not? If it helps you, view actions as little gold coins. You receive two per turn to use however you like. However, the taxman takes away any gold coins that you don't use up, so you can't save up Action coins.

It would take them three actions to do that.

I have many questions about the combat rules.
insertnamehere wrote: A player with an Aim stat of 6 PM's me saying that he wants to shoot another player in the head with a gun from their inventory. At this point, I'll use http://www.random.org's random number generator. If the number is lower than six, the player's aim stat, the result will be a success, and the person they were aiming at will instantly die. If the number is 7, 8, 9, or 10, the bullet will miss.
Does this mean that the odds of success are the same regardless of the target/distance? If the person being shot in the head is an arm's length away, shouldn't that require an easier roll than someone on the other side of the plane? Likewise, shouldn't aiming for a person's eyeball be harder than aiming at their torso? How is this taken into account if at all? If you miss your target, is there a chance of hitting a bystander? Explosive decompression is largely a myth, but what effect do bullets passing through the hull of the plane have? Do you have to roll for aim if the target is yourself? How is suicide viewed in this game anyway? Can I ask one more question? What happens if you say "no" and I've already asked it, like I just did?

Yep.

If the person being shot in the head is an arm's length away, shouldn't that require an easier roll than someone on the other side of the plane?

Well, it's a fairly small airplane. There really isn't any place to run to, and the idea is that everyone is kind of in extremely close quarters. So, I'm not really factoring that into consideration. Also, I'm a lazy bum, and I just don't want to add another layer of complexity to this clustermug of a game.

Likewise, shouldn't aiming for a person's eyeball be harder than aiming at their torso? How is this taken into account if at all?

I plead the MST3K defense.



If you miss your target, is there a chance of hitting a bystander?

OK, if there is a situation where two or more people are very close together, I may add a low chance that a bystander could be hit. It'll depend on the situation.

Explosive decompression is largely a myth, but what effect do bullets passing through the hull of the plane have?

That depends on how many shots are fired, and where the bullets end up.

Do you have to roll for aim if the target is yourself?

Nope.

How is suicide viewed in this game anyway?

*sigh* Yes, you can kill yourself, but if you really hate my game that much, I'd rather you just asked me to quit instead of taking the coward's way out. I'd view it as a real dick move.

Can I ask one more question?

Yes.

What happens if you say "no" and I've already asked it, like I just did?

I would just ignore the question, and not answer it.
