This might be a silly question to ask, but as I'm still a newish player, I need clarification.
When is it acceptable for a player to call another player - PC or NPC - on machine-gunning?
It's one thing to be hit by multiple players at the same time - that's just part of the game, and that's not even machine-gunning anyway. If I'm being hit quickly and a player is still understandably pronouncing their carriers and damage points, I'm willing to go along with that from the RP perspective of, "Oh, I am fighting a fighter more skilled than I." I won't hesitate to call someone if their verbals become a mishmash of syllables. But what about a character hitting so fast I can't physically get a verbal out in kind? What if I can't even raise my weapon - not because I'm defending myself, but because I'm just being hit that fast? Am I to also roleplay that as though it's just par for the course in combat? Where does the line get drawn between gameplay and a rules infraction?
I feel this is an issue with grey area. I'm just try'na get a better feel for things.
