As long as this remains a guideline and isn't expected to be written in stone. If it remains as something that all parties are willing to agree upon at meeting after discussion, then I really don't mind supporting it.
The thing is though, as some people say my example was bad. It really wasn't because it opens peoples eyes so they can hopefully expect what it -won't- become. People need to be shown all possible outcomes of what can potentially happen when trying a new system. Believe me, I did read that everyone here is only saying it should only be used in certain situations, such as a mages firaga AoE. That's fine, I wouldn't mind seeing it in such a situation myself, but I still feel within my right to make the examples I've made.
Thing is if people start using /random for situations like that... People will begin to ask for /rerolls and then on the next move people could possibly begin saying "now I'll use this move" and then someone tells them to "/random that..." The point I'm making which I know I've stated several times is, I don't mind if this is used as a guideline but don't expect people to fully follow or understand it. Even if they do, there is potential chance that this system could get stretched out of proportion to the point where people start demanding /random for like every 3 actions and that could get very annoying.
Also keep in mind with guidelines is when people start using it, more people will eventually start using it, because more people will expect others to be using it, and then it finally starts to become a rule. Which will eventually make it taboo not to use the guideline.
Really the only thing I'm trying to say here is this. I don't want to see /random come to that. I am only advising extreme caution when using it. Make sure everyone knows that it should only be used once in a blue moon to only help influence possible RP, but not -determine- RP end results. And also don't rely on it for every other thing, either.
((I already understand everyone here has pretty much said all this. I'm just letting you know, that I do agree with all the examples that were given here. I just felt it was necessary to state my concerns, even if they did seem over the top.))
