*grin* Well Sam, to be fair, it is ‘The Great Game’, rather than ‘The Great Character Development Exercise’

I think that there is a great tendency for people to vote here, not for the option which might lead to the most interesting character development but, rather, for the trope which they would expect to come next in a typical movie script.

“roll onto my back, facing the chair, gun ready to shoot the bastard when he came for me. ” Yes. That is exactly what Bruce Willis’s script writer would have him do. Or Vin Diesel’s. Or Roger Moore’s. Or [insert ANY name here]’s.

I voted for “stay put”. Heroic? No. But it promotes character development. What is the biggest complaint people make about heroes? They’re 2-dimensional. They’re boring.

Humiliation puts your protagonist under more interesting pressures.

I fear I am in the 1% minority here though!

The first one wasn’t sci-fi, no. It was dark urban fantasy with a strange cosmic twist, or something

This one will be sci-fi though!

Sci-Fi ??

didnt find the first one to be Sci-fi. Unless you take it in a broader context.

Still, glad to have the show back up and running
