[17:59] Pandora Fireguard: i know. one could read a lot into that, given how victorians behaved.
[17:59] Pandora Fireguard: hi!
[17:59] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): Some of the new skills will deal with the sexual side of things I believe

[18:00] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): *evily laughs*

[18:01] Pandora Fireguard: I am too, Sugah.
[18:01] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): :-P
[18:02] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): I hate to say it me as well
[18:02] Pandora Fireguard: so far, anyway.
[18:02] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): I play a prude ingame. Does that count?
[18:02] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): okay let me see if I get a couple of IMs then we will go from there.
[18:02] emDash HUD: Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise) has entered chat range.
[18:02] Pandora Fireguard: Sandi, may i give you an rp card? i posted it on the wiki today, but Dorian said we could give them to an ST as well?
[18:02] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): Let's all remove our clothes so when she comes back...
[18:03] Pandora Fireguard: lol
[18:03] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): Wow, Wren's a cat!
[18:03] 'Sugah (moonsugah.monday): i got union suits somewhere..
[18:03] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise) takes off all her clothes and stands here in all her cat glory! lol
[18:03] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): Pandora THAT"S HOW YOU KILL RATS!!
[18:03] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): sorry to all those that can't view mesh! I'm adorable! lol *winks at Sir Dorian* yeah! That's how I kill rats!
[18:03] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): Wren....lol
[18:04] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): That is nice a mesh?
[18:04] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): thanks! :)
[18:05] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): okay........lets get started.......our first topic will be metagaming. can someone tell me what metagaming is?
[18:05] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): yes very nice
[18:05] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): playing as if your character knows info he or she shouldn't know in character.
[18:06] Wren runs up and bites Katherine's leg making her bleed profusely ... like that! :)
[18:06] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): no Wren that is a different thing. Sir dorian is correct.
[18:06] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): metagaming is using OOC information in IC
[18:06] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): I try not to give out too much info in my emotes to keep others from metagaming me.
[18:07] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): let me give you a few examples
[18:07] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): using the map to locate someone. in real life we don't have a radar or a mini map that displays peoples locations
[18:07] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): unless of course you use GPS trackers but those did not exsist in 1891
[18:08] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): another piece of metagaming is looking at people's profiles. anyhting in a profile is considered OOC information
[18:08] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): could someone give me another example of metagaming?
[18:08] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): Oh sorry! I was thinking godmodding. Ack, stoopid cat brain!
[18:08] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): no worries Wren :-)
[18:08] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): :)
[18:09] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): none off the top of my head
[18:09] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): oh, referring to someone's character by name beore they tell you their name in character.
[18:09] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): IMing friends to come rescue you?
[18:10] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): good Dorian
[18:10] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): yes that would also be metagaming because you are providing them IC information in an OOC way Wren.
[18:10] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): Using google about a race you just meet?
[18:10] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): ha, google.
[18:11] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): eh not so much Davil. you can google things all day long, to learn about a role play, but what makes it metagaming is if you use that information and your character would not know it ICly.
[18:11] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): for instance. you come accross a vampire. your charcater knows nothing about them.
[18:11] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): That's what I was thinking..lol
[18:12] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): you might google the information to understand what a vampire is and how to role play about it, but that does not make your character wiser on the subject
[18:12] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): your character would have to find out ICly
[18:12] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): cool
[18:13] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): any questions thus far?
[18:13] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): like saying your character went to the library in between rp sessions to research the race he met in the previous rp?
[18:13] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): would that be a way to avoid metagaming?
[18:13] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): that would work Dorian.
[18:13] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise) nods in understanding
[18:13] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): very good Dorian
[18:14] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): but make sure your character has an IC reason to go to the library and research it, and also keep in mind, that you might not know what to look up.
[18:14] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): I did rp in rl
[18:14] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): now. speaking of race, that believe it or not is a common metagamed item
[18:14] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): First week for me ever
[18:15] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): you can not just walk up to someone and determine, "yep he is a vampire."
[18:15] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): even if he or she smiles and you see their fangs?
[18:15] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): ahh good point dorian. if they role play showing their fangs, then that is a give away
[18:16] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): but if they smile, you might not see fangs. vampires do not always show their fangs.
[18:16] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): Turns to jacob and grins. "Mind are permenants"
[18:16] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): true many hide that fact
[18:16] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): *my fangs are permenant, i mean
[18:16] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): but then you are not 100% sure that they are indeed a vampire. they could have a defect in their teeth, or be wearing fake fangs.
[18:17] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): I actually have met folks in rl with sharp teeth, so good point
[18:17] Wren shows her fangs in a strange grin
[18:17] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): lol
[18:18] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): okay. any questions on metagaming before we move on?
[18:18] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): not from me
[18:18] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): I'm good
[18:18] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): I'm good :)
[18:18] Pandora Fireguard: no
[18:18] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): cool, I need a volunteer!
[18:19] Pandora Fireguard: raises hand
[18:19] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): resists the urge to jump up and squeel "me"
[18:19] 'Sugah (moonsugah.monday): squeeks
[18:19] LaRPS HUD: ((Help Request from TriJin Bade
DarkMalady Resident
Finished Orientation and requires an invite to IC group.))
[18:19] Legacies 1891 - Orientation proudly welcomes DarkMalady Resident who has gone through the complete Orientation Pack and has become the newest Role Playing Citizen :)
[18:19] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): Pandora got it first Dorian :-P
[18:20] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter charges toward Pandora with lighting speed and takes her staff swinging it around and chopping her head off with a single swing, she laughs as she watches the head roll onto the floro getting blood everywhere. she was dead, and kat was happy
[18:20] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): *floor
[18:21] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): can someone tell me what is wrong with that post?
[18:21] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): uh, everything!
[18:21] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): godmoding
[18:21] Pandora Fireguard: that was godmodding at the worst
[18:21] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): :-P
[18:21] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): yes
[18:21] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): too many actions without giving Pandora a chance to repond
[18:21] Pandora Fireguard: you took control of pandora's actions.
[18:21] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): Okay guys. would each of you retype that in a more plausable and fair manner?
[18:21] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): also, no dice rolls
[18:21] Pandora Fireguard: left her unable to play her character.
[18:23] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): Katherine tries to swing her staff at Pandora (rime to roll dice).
[18:23] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): or maybe the charging part should be said first and then pandora reacts tot he charge.
[18:24] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): okay. that would work
[18:24] emDash HUD: Malady (darkmalady) has entered chat range.
[18:24] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): Don't really see how I can retype the whole thing in one go and still be fair.
[18:24] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): exactly dorian!
[18:24] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): Seems that would be right...one action at a time
[18:24] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter swings her staff toward pandora's neck attempting to cut her head off
[18:25] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): anything wrong with that post? besides no roll
[18:25] 'Sugah (moonsugah.monday): ?
[18:25] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): seems ok to me (besides the no roll)
[18:25] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): I think specifying the head may be a little too precise.
[18:26] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): I mean, you get a success and Pandora's down. Seems a little unfair. But I could be wrong.
[18:26] Pandora Fireguard: Dr. Foxtrotter charges Pandora at lightening speed , swinging her staff with the staff, hoping to hit true and behead her, thereby killing her. As she swings, she thinks how happy she will be to see her head roll and and her body slump to the floor, dead.
[18:26] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): oh oh. we have a problem with that post Pandora. but we will get back to it in a moment.
[18:26] Pandora Fireguard: *swinging her staff, aiming for her head.
[18:26] Pandora Fireguard: ok
[18:27] Pandora Fireguard: it has thoughts in it.
[18:27] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): the think statement?
[18:27] Pandora Fireguard: i see them.
[18:27] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): but really there was nothing wrong with the last post I made. do you know why?
[18:28] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): It's just one action
[18:28] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): Nope. that is not it. but it is important that it was one action.
[18:28] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): and it was an attempt
[18:28] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): yes
[18:28] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): it is important that it was an attempt as well, but still not the point I am looking for
[18:29] 'Sugah (moonsugah.monday): it had a goal
[18:29] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): I stated in my post what the intent was. it is up to Pandora if I suceed or not in that attempt. Yes I did strike her, but I might not have cut her head off.
[18:29] 'Sugah (moonsugah.monday): attmpt and goal
[18:29] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): It just states you are aiming at her hear nothing more
[18:29] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): as in I did strike her if I suceed in my role
[18:29] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): it had an action in it that could be RPed with
[18:30] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): personally I do not like it when someone emotes something like that. attempting to cut their head off.
[18:30] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): but there is really nothing wrong with the post.
[18:30] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield) laughs
[18:30] Pandora Fireguard: there is intent and an action.
[18:30] 'Sugah (moonsugah.monday): so how d you deal withthe mutliple outcomes.
[18:30] Pandora Fireguard: i could dance out of the way.
[18:30] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): hehehe
[18:31] 'Sugah (moonsugah.monday): you could succeedd but partly cut the neck ..
[18:31] 'Sugah (moonsugah.monday): or hot but miss the neck
[18:31] 'Sugah (moonsugah.monday): hit*
[18:31] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): yes Sugah that could be a possibility. or she could have moved and I struck her shoulder.
[18:31] 'Sugah (moonsugah.monday): how do you determine it
[18:31] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): you miss and fall on your face for a critical miss?
[18:31] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): dorian we are going with I made a sucessful roll
[18:31] Pandora Fireguard: a dice roll
[18:31] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): oh, nevermind
[18:31] Pandora Fireguard: ok
[18:32] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): now lets try this again, and pandora you will get a chance to reply.
[18:32] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): kitten food
[18:32] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): yay!!
[18:32] Pandora Fireguard: ok
[18:32] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter swings her staff around and attempts to stab the end of it into her left eye
[18:32] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter focuses their legendary skill of Two Handed Weapon.
[18:32] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter focuses on their legendary skill of Two Handed Weapon, successfully performs a physical harm on Pandora.
[18:33] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): your post pandora
[18:34] Pandora sees the staff our of the corner of her eye and turns her head. She feels a searing pain on her left ear and falls to one side.
[18:35] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): there we go.
[18:35] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): wow! Nice one!!
[18:35] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): I would accept that. do you guys see any problems?
[18:35] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): it looked really good from here :)
[18:35] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): looked good to me
[18:35] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): oh wait!!
[18:35] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): well no counterattack
[18:35] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): yes
[18:35] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): lol
[18:36] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): cool. she acknowledged that she was going to take damage, and took it. and it is her choice as to counter attack or not.
[18:36] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): true
[18:36] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): I thought the LaRPS system does the counterattack for you.
[18:36] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): or counter action, i mean
[18:36] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): No. it does not dorian. but it does do something that is similar
[18:37] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): when I rolled against her. it took my stats into account and compared them to hers. It then rolled the dice, which gave it a number. it did a dice role for her as well that determined her save roll.
[18:38] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): so in this case it was all done, and she did not have to do a save roll. the meter did it for her.
[18:38] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): does this make sense?
[18:38] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): yep
[18:38] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): ah, ok
[18:38] Pandora Fireguard: ooh, like when a rat attacks me and the meter says I resist it.
[18:38] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): exactly pandora!
[18:39] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): now. lets move on a bit.
[18:39] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): cool
[18:39] Pandora Fireguard: the meter will not roll death, then?
[18:40] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): what do you mean pandora?
[18:40] Pandora Fireguard: for example, you succeed in striking me and the meter will not say Pandora dies.
[18:41] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): ah I see
[18:41] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): uh, no, it rolls and then takes a bit of your healthy away if the attack was a success. Repeated attacks take away until you loose enough health to pass out.
[18:41] Pandora Fireguard: ok
[18:41] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): right?
[18:41] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): what dorian just said :-P
[18:41] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): I'm a quick learner. :))
[18:42] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): now. lets go back and look at Pandora's post. Dr. Foxtrotter charges Pandora at lightening speed , swinging her staff with the staff, hoping to hit true and behead her, thereby killing her. As she swings, she thinks how happy she will be to see her head roll and and her body slump to the floor, dead.
[18:42] Pandora Fireguard: blushes
[18:42] Pandora Fireguard: bad bad post.
[18:42] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): lol we all make bad posts at time hon no worries
[18:42] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): now what is wrong with this post?
[18:43] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): two actions? charge and swing
[18:43] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): yes two actions
[18:43] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): the last paragraph is just a thought
[18:43] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): what else?
[18:43] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): and the thiught statement
[18:43] Pandora Fireguard: i don't know what you hope, i don't know what you think
[18:43] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): exactly
[18:43] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): thought statements.
[18:43] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): unless your character's telepathic
[18:43] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): which most characters are not
[18:44] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): yes but you would have to roll to see if you suceeded in your telepathic act :-P
[18:44] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): but regardless think statements are a no no
[18:44] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): now... I have picked on pandora enough so now I will pick on Dorian. *grins*
[18:45] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): uh oh
[18:45] Dorian Charles Thorn: ((DorianThorn Resident is In Character))
[18:45] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter looks at Sir Dorian, knowing full and well that he is a pompass ass, with the brain of a retarded mouse, "hello there dear."
[18:45] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): Wow, hurtful!
[18:45] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): what is wrong with that post?
[18:45] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): ack! lol
[18:45] Pandora Fireguard: a thought post
[18:46] Pandora Fireguard: lol
[18:46] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): Dorian is a nice guy
[18:46] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): most of the time
[18:46] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): thought statements again
[18:46] Pandora Fireguard: you could have murmured it.
[18:46] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): exactly
[18:46] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): but there is more to it than that
[18:47] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): what else is it besides a think statement
[18:47] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): ?
[18:47] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): you are changing his rp with statements he is not to know about?
[18:47] 'Sugah (moonsugah.monday): it is aassualt on the character that they can resoind to
[18:47] 'Sugah (moonsugah.monday): cant*
[18:47] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): to me it is sort of a na na a boo boo I insulted you OOCly and you cant do shit about it.
[18:48] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): exactly
[18:48] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): yes
[18:48] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): high five jacob
[18:48] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): I just insulted you, and there is nothing you can do about it. you have no way to know I insulted you
[18:48] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): one of our rules is respect for players
[18:48] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): that was totally disrespectful.
[18:49] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): yes yes it was. :-p
[18:49] Doctor Katherine Foxtrotter looks to Sir Dorian and mutters under her breath, "what a pompass ass, I bet his brain has the capacity of a retarded mouse," smiles, "oh hello there dear."
[18:49] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): anything wrong with that?
[18:50] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): nope nothing I can see
[18:50] 'Sugah (moonsugah.monday): nope
[18:50] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): still hurtful but at least my character can respond
[18:50] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): he could have heard you which is good
[18:50] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): exactly
[18:50] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): okay now we are going to go over a scenerio
[18:50] Pandora Fireguard: no, you are rendering your opinion, not saying that he is.
[18:51] Pandora Fireguard: he can dispute you.
[18:51] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut) nods
[18:51] Jacob Oldham: ((Davil Copperfield is In Character))
[18:51] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): okay. now the scenerio. all of you got cheesed off at me ICly and we got into a big fight.
[18:51] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): brb
[18:51] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): <-- loves cheese
[18:52] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): go on
[18:52] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): the battle has gone on now for over an hour, and every single attack you made against me was sucessful
[18:52] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): I have been shot, stabbed, kicked, punched, set on fire, all sorts of horrible things
[18:52] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): O.o
[18:52] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): wow
[18:52] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): but I am still up! I am still fighting! I heal extremely fast, and you can't even tell I have been injuried.
[18:53] Pandora Fireguard: you should be dead. it is not authentic?
[18:53] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): or really hurt at least pandora :-P
[18:53] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): what is wrong with this scenerio?
[18:53] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): are you godmodding?
[18:53] Pandora Fireguard: unless you have special powers, it doesn't seem realistic.
[18:54] Pandora Fireguard: what wrenn said.
[18:54] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): your character has way too many health points.
[18:54] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): ?
[18:54] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): nope it is not godmoding. godmodding is where I chop your head off with no chance to respond
[18:54] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): and no dorian, that is not either.
[18:55] Pandora Fireguard: realism?
[18:55] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): yes that is part of it pandora.
[18:55] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): is what I am doing fair?
[18:55] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): nope. Your character's hurt to the point of death, they should act like it.
[18:55] Pandora Fireguard: no, because i have to go take care of my mother, so my character will have to rp out of a winning battle.
[18:55] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): this is what is known as power gaming. or the superman complex
[18:56] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): no matter what you do to me, I am undefeatable
[18:56] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): ah, powergaming!
[18:56] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): neener neener neener
[18:56] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): you can't hurt me
[18:56] Pandora Fireguard: oooooooh
[18:56] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): is that possible with our health stats?
[18:57] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): no it is not. Tri has done a very good job of balancing the system. I have seen a level 100 player taken down by a level 20
[18:57] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): wow, david and goliath
[18:58] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): exactly. Tri worked extremely hard on this system, and is still working hard on improving it. that is one thing I hated about going to other sims. you had the old players who had been there forever, and it was impossible for you to defeat them.
[18:58] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): here it is possible for an older player to be defeated.
[18:59] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): just like in real life, a master with swords can be defeated by an amature.
[18:59] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): so no one can do the neener neener neener thing in Legacies?
[18:59] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): exactly Dorian
[18:59] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): that's a relief
[19:00] Pandora Fireguard: that's good. that takes the fun out of the rp. you know you can't win, so why even participate. then you have to match up equal levels, and so on.
[19:01] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): exactly what tri was going for
[19:01] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise) nods nods
[19:01] Pandora Fireguard: i have never seen anything like this meter.
[19:01] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): now, I will say that a higher level will have an advantage over a lower player, but it is not an impossible fight.
[19:01] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): like rl
[19:02] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): yep. if you go up against an professional boxer, and you are an amature you will probally get your ass kicked, but you do have a chance of beating him
[19:02] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): a master with hd the odd in their favor
[19:02] Katherine Foxtrotter (sandi.grut): so do we have any questions thus far?
[19:03] Sir Dorian Thorn (dorianthorn): nope
[19:03] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): would have the odds*
[19:03] Pandora Fireguard: no
[19:03] Wren Noir (wrennoir.cerise): all good
[19:03] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): no
[19:03] emDash HUD: Victorino Moriarty (tyrus.olbers) has entered chat range.

[19:06] Victorino Moriarty (tyrus.olbers): a book commits suicide
[19:06] Victorino Moriarty (tyrus.olbers): =P
[19:06] Victorino Moriarty (tyrus.olbers): oh, sorry that was the answer for "what happens everytime someone watches Jersey Shore" nevermind
[19:06] ?a?sß Õ?d?a? (davil.copperfield): too funny :)
