Perfect example of the kinda of chats we can have to clarify things with other people. :D

So....... an egg could bypass the barrier, but I couldnt?

by Atriax Tue Feb 02, 2010 12:10 am

It's a magical egg.
Are you a magical egg?
No. There's your answer.

by Guest Tue Feb 02, 2010 12:36 am

Ah, I see, so a magical egg can do it, but a magical-anything-else can't?

by Atriax Tue Feb 02, 2010 12:40 am

So it would seem ^^
Besides, using the same trick twice would be boring.
Go somewhere else.

by Guest Tue Feb 02, 2010 12:45 am

Actually if you read my original post (which was before Weena was rescued) You would know I was the first to get to Weena. Still, I'm gonna stop this discussion since we seem to be digressing here! =|

Ok so people who read this, I am in Artriax's new thing but I was wondering if it was a good idea to join in the Grey storyline, I have a backstory in my head, but I'm not sire if it's a good idea :/

by Guest Sat Feb 06, 2010 2:04 pm

Well, normally it isn't good to join after 5 or 6 pages, but as long as you don't affect the storyline too much (ironic me saying that, eh?), no problem!

by **Vampiric** Sat Feb 06, 2010 5:37 pm

Hmm, well now I'm dissuaded from even thinking to join in Grey now xD Ah well, there are other options, I suppose.

Speaking of RP, is there any possibility of starting a thread which has each person's character(s) biographies? Or at least a thread where players could fill in a sheet of information about specific traits/attributes of their characters? It may just be me, but it would be a lot easier to understand the other characters that way to make interaction between them more realistic.

The time I was active (ol' days xD) I usually created one sign-up form, then had it moved to the archive when the RP started so people could read it in the archives if they needed data, but could just RP in the regular RP forum. Though I'm afraid people don't really like signing up here. I suspect this is because, since everyone controls everyone's character, it doesn't make much sense

by **Vampiric** Sun Feb 07, 2010 7:19 am

@ Deathclaws: Ah, I see. I've scanned the Archives a few times but haven't really stopped to read so I guess I'll go do that.

Well, this therad was kinda for that, so I could display all necessary info on the first post, so should I make a new thread for biographies and any necessary info surrounding your character?

by Wixmagic Sun Feb 07, 2010 5:12 pm

Well that might defeat the point of making your characters different on each different one, doesn't it?

by Deathclaws Sun Feb 07, 2010 9:24 pm

no, you can register multiple biographies, I do that in all other forums. But people won't bother to read YOUR biography when controlling YOUR character rite?!

by Wixmagic Sun Feb 07, 2010 10:51 pm

Lol your probably right DC ._.'

Actually, if I was RPing, I would. Since you are using another person's character, you'd try to keep them as close to character as possible (or at least you'd hope so...) and having background information about them can help you see what strengths/weaknesses they have, abilities (it would be awkward to suddenly invent your own set for someone else's char...), personality etc. Just my opinion. It wouldn't hurt to have one though, it could be some extra reading when you're looking for some reading material.

by **Shadow** Wed Feb 10, 2010 11:29 am

I totally agree with Vampi, most ARPers would have the courtesy to control the character correctly.

by Malkoir Thu Feb 11, 2010 9:46 am

Ya know, now that Im finnaly approved (Thanks Icey xD) I though up a backstory for me and my... counterpart >.> but I dont know if its safe to join. I know Weena says I shouldnt overly effect the Grey storyline, and I don't plan on it. But I dont wanna do something stupid like on my last RP (Dont even ask.) Should I or should I not?

by Guest Thu Feb 11, 2010 11:19 am

Yup - that's convinced me to make a Char Bio thread. Here I come!

by **Erik** Fri Feb 19, 2010 8:07 am

Here is a thought. Maybe before we start, if someone wanted control over themselves and no one else there, they could post in the beginning, "Control own character only." That way, everyone is happy. Thats one idea, and the other is just to write using splendor and majesty, helping show character development as DC says by writing as if they were your own character. After a while, you would be able to tell where the author wants their character to go to, and if not, it would be best not to try using them then.

by Guest Fri Feb 19, 2010 5:20 pm

Agreed, personally I prefer to control only MY character and have the other RPers post their characters reactions, in some cases I might approach you guys to discuss a specific series of events but otherwise thats it.
Also I tend to use the same characters over and over, just slightly different versions on them.

by Guest Sun Jun 27, 2010 12:18 pm

Anyway, it seems this thread has gone inactive for a while. I'm pleased to announce my (first) new RP, Points Of strange Occurrences!

Second, for a random no reason, I felt like adding a bit of background music to one of my posts from a while ago. I think it fits really well. c:

It'd be awesome if other people could find background music to put in, y'know, for epicness and stuff.

by Felix Sun Jun 27, 2010 12:43 pm

what I don't like about RP is people rendering you powerless..

by **Shadow** Sun Jun 27, 2010 2:40 pm

Felix - If that is happening, they aren't doin' it rite. If you read Pere's guide on the matter, it shows that people shouldn't be doing that. PM the person that did it, and if they don't fix it, consult a staff member privately about it.

by Robaldo Sun Jun 27, 2010 10:23 pm

though i see y they did it felix
they did it just to make sure you dont post until after their battle

in other words it was just a precaution
not to mention since all he did was sap your strength, there is away to get back in by like using an enery reserve or crystal

This is only if your talking about the points of strange occurances thread, felix
