   [11:02] Faith Diesel: I am Faith and Im a storyteller here
   [11:02] Faith Diesel: feel free to friend me
   [11:02] Faith Diesel: it makes things faster when you need an ST
   [11:02] Pandora Fireguard: thank you.
   [11:02] Fay Genira: Thanks
   [11:03] Faith Diesel: do you both know how to call for an ST (storyteller)?
   [11:03] Fay Genira: I see you are from Devon. I am from Cornwall :-)
   [11:03] Faith Diesel: grins - neighbours
   [11:03] Fay Genira: Oh, yes, I have the Larps list of commands
   [11:04] Fay Genira: ...not that I remember many yet
   [11:04] Pandora Fireguard: no, i don't.
   [11:04] Faith Diesel: in case anyone needs to know - just type /9ST in local
   [11:04] Pandora Fireguard: ah, ok.
   [11:04] Faith Diesel: and its hounds us till one of us helps you
   [11:04] Faith Diesel: grins
   [11:04] Fay Genira: :-)
   [11:04] Pandora Fireguard: :)
   [11:05] Fay Genira: I have had a problem with the bank. Once I deposit money, I can only withdraw money, not add more
   [11:06] Legacies 1891 - Orientation proudly welcomes Zhandra Osterham who has gone through the complete Orientation Pack and has become the newest Role Playing Citizen :)
   [11:06] LaRPS HUD: ((Help Request from TriJin Bade
   Zhandra Osterham

   Finished Orientation and requires an invite to IC group.))
   [11:06] Faith Diesel: the rules tell you when we ask you to call an ST but if you all agree not to have one at those times you can - except changes to the environment, wards & crafting
   [11:07] Fay Genira: Oh, good...because it seems like a long delay, interrupting the rp
   [11:07] Faith Diesel: you can add more - just need to remember to use /9pay with the bank clerk targeted
   [11:07] Fay Genira: Ah! thanks. I was just using the menu
   [11:08] Faith Diesel: but you do all have to agree to waive . re paying you can use hud too
   [11:08] Fay Genira: oh, good
   [11:08] Pandora Fireguard: i have not gotten that far yet in using my meter. so i am a babe in the woods here. i think i may be doing a lot of listening today.
   [11:08] Faith Diesel: all the commands have a /9command but not all the /9commands fit in the HUD
   [11:09] Fay Genira: I see
   [11:09] Faith Diesel: well i just do the overview - worth doing leighs dice roll class too
   [11:09] Fay Genira nods
   [11:10] Pandora Fireguard: ok
   [11:10] LaRPS HUD: ((Help Request from TriJin Bade
   Zhandra Osterham

   Requires an invite to OOC observer group.))
   [11:10] Fay Genira: I think a gesture for /9 missile would be good
   [11:10] Faith Diesel: lets start at the beginning - the LaRPs system was developed by TriJin Bade the sim owner to support quality RP
   [11:11] Faith Diesel: can make any gestures you like and set your function keys
   [11:11] Fay Genira: :-)
   [11:11] Faith Diesel: back to beginning
   [11:12] Faith Diesel: All the meter systems i have used before have been based on combat
   [11:12] Faith Diesel: LaRPs does provide melee combat but on the gamefloor its all about RP
   [11:13] Faith Diesel: we are rp everything and we dont mind what style of rp you use
   [11:14] Faith Diesel: we also and most importantly do not mind what you post - its freeform rp - as long as it is plausible to your character and to the backstory of legacies.
   [11:14] Faith Diesel: Think of yourself as a method actor in a stage set.
   [11:15] Faith Diesel: so that means the most important element of larps is about how you post.
   [11:15] Zhandra Osterham peeks in
   [11:15] Faith Diesel: to let larps know what you are posting we use the /2commands
   [11:15] Faith Diesel: have a seat Zhandra
   [11:16] Faith Diesel: i was jsut explaining - we also and most importantly do not mind what or what style you post - its freeform rp - as long as it is plausible to your character and to the backstory of legacies.
   [11:17] Faith Diesel: and that the most important part of larps was the /2commands which tell larps about your posts
   [11:18] Faith Diesel: the more you rp using /2 the better your character gets - generally improving all your stats
   [11:18] Faith Diesel: lets see if you all know how
   [11:18] Zhandra tests her skillz
   [11:18] Morigain Kheldorna tests her skillz
   [11:19] Fay: "like this"
   [11:19] Fate: "The /2commands allow you to RP using the HUD which allows for your stats such as verbosity to be improved. The most used are /2 for speech and /2m for actions. (using /2)"
   [11:19] Fate looks round the room to see if everyone has got the idea. (using /2m)
   [11:19] Pandora: "does better character mean only accumulating points and increasing stats or is there more to it?"
   [11:19] Faith Diesel: for actions /2me and /2/me both work too
   [11:20] Pandora shifts in chair.
   [11:20] Faith Diesel: the more your stats improve the better chance you get of achieving your attempts
   [11:20] Pandora Fireguard: ooooooh
   [11:21] Faith Diesel: it is still chance so that even a level 1 character can beat a level 100 legendary character
   [11:21] Faith Diesel: but its just less likely
   [11:22] Pandora Fireguard: ok. when i first put on the hud, it showed my rp points, now i seem to have combat stats there and can't see my rp points.
   [11:22] Faith Diesel: the idea of larps is that once you learn the basics you can pretty much forget its there and just play your character - larps does the work of recording what your character learns and is skilled at
   [11:23] Pandora Fireguard: ok
   [11:23] Faith Diesel: ok everyone got how to rp? then i can answer pandor with how to use the info on your screen
   [11:23] Zhandra Osterham: I do
   [11:23] Fay Genira: yes
   [11:24] Pandora Fireguard: use /2 for speech and /me for actions.
   [11:24] Faith Diesel: .../2me or just /2m
   [11:24] Pandora Fireguard: oops, yes, /2m
   [11:25] Pandora blushes
   [11:25] Faith Diesel: there are more /2 commands but those are the most used
   [11:25] Faith Diesel: if you want to learn the rest - look at the players manual in the forums
   [11:25] Pandora Fireguard: ok
   [11:26] Faith Diesel: http://larps.net/lc/forum/player-manual
   [11:26] Faith Diesel: ok lets look at the screen
   [11:27] Faith Diesel: over our heads you can see the meter info - every player can see that
   [11:27] Faith Diesel: it shows you av name and it can like mine show a line of text
   [11:28] Faith Diesel: that text give IC information only to the other players
   [11:29] Faith Diesel: that means it give things that sl has trouble displaying on your avatar but which a person standing next to your would know.
   [11:29] Faith Diesel: ie what is detectable by your 5 senses
   [11:29] Faith Diesel: sight, sound, smell, touch & taste
   [11:30] Pandora Fireguard: ok, not what we are thinking, etc. but what could naturally be known without having to say it.
   [11:30] Faith Diesel: it is particularly useful when you are being stealthy
   [11:30] Fay Genira: I wouldn't want a vampirre to try and verify my taste
   [11:30] Faith Diesel: yes pandora - like fate having a black eye or smelling of sticky sweets
   [11:31] Faith Diesel: laughs
   [11:31] Pandora Fireguard: ok, or pandora smells strongly of garlic
   [11:31] Faith Diesel: saying you are in disguise is very useful because it can be ambiguous looking at your avatar
   [11:32] Faith Diesel: we have had a few players with fleas
   [11:32] Pandora Fireguard: being that i am a a pitiful human, lol
   [11:32] Pandora Fireguard: hahahaha
   [11:32] Pandora Fireguard: fleas.
   [11:32] Faith Diesel: i should say characters
   [11:33] Faith Diesel: the players i am sure were flea free
   [11:33] Faith Diesel: at the bottom of your screen is your sentinel
   [11:33] Faith Diesel: it tells you which characters are in chat range
   [11:34] Faith Diesel: not all with icly be in chat range but the sentinel will tell you who will see your posts in local if your talk normally
   [11:35] Faith Diesel: if you shout i think the distance is 40m and if you whisper 10m
   [11:35] Faith Diesel: sl chat range is 20m
   [11:36] Faith Diesel: the sentinel will also tell you where you are in legacies soon - though this is not fully implimented yet
   [11:37] Faith Diesel: you can see it says in the guidance area now
   [11:37] Pandora Fireguard: it is not the same as radar, it is part of the hud?
   [11:37] You decline Isle of Amras Roleplay Main TP from A group member named Sariayna Yuhara.
   [11:38] Faith Diesel: it is a radar but only gives you info that informs your ic - ordinary radars sshow you too much like your mini-map
   [11:38] Faith Diesel: need to be careful about implausible dot chasing
   [11:38] You decline Cranberry Cove, Montral Relliquad (124, 220, 27) from A group member named Krysta Ember.
   [11:38] Pandora Fireguard: ok, i will look for it. i see radar but that is not part of the hud.
   [11:38] Pandora Fireguard: it is sl radar.
   [11:39] Pandora Fireguard: phoenix radar, i mean.
   [11:39] Faith Diesel: in your larps folder
   [11:39] Pandora Fireguard: ah, ok
   [11:39] Faith Diesel: its called sentinel - the phoenix one should not be used
   [11:40] Faith Diesel: the third thing you need to wear in that folder is the HUD
   [11:40] Pandora Fireguard: got it!
   [11:40] Faith Diesel: and is the text line at the top of your screen
   [11:40] Faith Diesel: only you can see that information
   [11:41] Faith Diesel: health strength and life stats - tell you the following information:
   [11:41] Faith Diesel: Health is amount of hit points before your character becomes defeated. You could RP that as how much damage you have sustained.
   [11:41] Faith Diesel: Defeated is not dead but injured sufficient to render the player unable to fight. Like being unconscious.
   [11:42] Faith Diesel: Strength can be RPed as how tired you are. If strength gets to zero, it will affect health
   [11:42] Faith Diesel: you dont necessarily lose strength from fighting
   [11:42] Fay Genira: How long do you remain unconscious?
   [11:42] Faith Diesel: you might be using magic and get tired that way
   [11:44] Faith Diesel: you have to be revived
   [11:45] Faith Diesel: you can rp waking up and then revive yourself
   [11:45] Faith Diesel: or let someone revive and heal you
   [11:45] Faith Diesel: depends on the rp
   [11:45] Faith Diesel: the commands the suppost the rp
   [11:46] Faith Diesel: its all about what is plausible for YOUR character
   [11:46] Faith Diesel: Life is the full life force of your character, if that gets to zero, you are dead and need to be resurrected.
   [11:46] Pandora Fireguard: who can resurrect?
   [11:47] Pandora Fireguard: father m?
   [11:47] Pandora Fireguard: lol
   [11:47] Faith Diesel: resurrection can use a lot of power and resurrection is not revive - there is a distinction
   [11:48] Pandora Fireguard: ok, so we can res ourselves with an rp?
   [11:48] Faith Diesel: you can resurrect someone else at level7
   [11:49] Faith Diesel: and yourself at level 70
   [11:49] Pandora Fireguard: revive is to come back to consciousness and resurrect is to come back to life.
   [11:49] Pandora Fireguard: oooooh
   [11:49] Faith Diesel: exactly
   [11:50] Faith Diesel: Dont forget to rp your damage. If your leg is chopped off, it is hard to run away.
   [11:50] Pandora Fireguard: ouch
   [11:50] Faith Diesel: ok lets talk about the mechanics of rping now
   [11:50] Faith Diesel: to get you out there doing fab rp
   [11:51] Faith Diesel: lets start with what should you include in your rp post?
   [11:51] Faith Diesel: there are 3 things - grins - a little clue
   [11:52] Pandora Fireguard: an emote
   [11:52] Pandora Fireguard: ?
   [11:52] Faith Diesel: the emote is the post
   [11:52] Pandora Fireguard: the entire post is an emote?
   [11:52] Faith Diesel: but your emote or post could include: speech, description, and action
   [11:53] Pandora Fireguard: ok. i thought an emote was a gesture.
   [11:53] Faith Diesel: speech is easy - anything your character says
   [11:53] Faith Diesel: dont include gestures please
   [11:53] Faith Diesel: and yes sometimes they are called emotes
   [11:54] Faith Diesel: why i stick to post
   [11:54] Pandora Fireguard: the kind where you say, "she sighs, nods, smiles waves, etc.
   [11:54] Fay Genira: I have a curtsey gesture which is sometimes appropriate
   [11:54] Faith Diesel: so you can say things
   [11:54] Faith Diesel: and you can describe things about your character and the environment
   [11:55] Pandora Fireguard: the only one i would like to use, which i don't have is a faint, and i have used the curtsey.
   [11:55] Pandora Fireguard: ok
   [11:55] Faith Diesel: again like you /9title line - only using the five senses
   [11:56] Faith Diesel: using a hud to curtsey is fine as long as it doesnt cause lag or "speak" in local
   [11:56] Faith Diesel: but its not part of your post
   [11:56] Pandora Fireguard: ok.
   [11:56] Fay Genira: No, but thre is nothing needs to be said about it as it speaks for itself
   [11:57] Faith Diesel: no speaking in local please other than /2
   [11:57] Faith Diesel: it distracts from the immersion
   [11:58] Pandora Fireguard: so no need to say /2m curtsies and then use the curtsey gesture on top of that.
   [11:58] Faith Diesel: thats using a /2 - its fine
   [11:58] Pandora Fireguard: ok
   [11:59] Faith Diesel: what i am pointing out is that talking bellies and other equipement that spams chat are not allowed
   [11:59] Faith Diesel: we are trying to give everyone as realistic a scene as possible so you can better stay in character
   [11:59] Pandora Fireguard: ok. i have seen that happen.
   [12:00] Faith Diesel: well if it bothers you tell an ST and we will deal with it
   [12:00] Faith Diesel: now back to actions
   [12:00] Pandora Fireguard: oh, not here. other places. :)
   [12:01] Faith Diesel: you can only do one SIGNIFICANT action per turn - and one dice roll to support it
   [12:01] Faith Diesel: now what do i mean by significant
   [12:02] Zhandra Osterham: A motion or action towards or away from the person in question?
   [12:02] Faith Diesel: a significant action in larps/legacies terms is one with a likelihood of failure
   [12:02] Faith Diesel: you clean your teeth every day and you walk about
   [12:02] Faith Diesel: its unlikely that you would fail at either
   [12:03] Faith Diesel: so you do not need to dice roll
   [12:03] Faith Diesel: you can normally draw a sword
   [12:03] Faith Diesel: so none of those are normally significant
   [12:04] Faith Diesel: but say you put tooth whitener on your toothbrush or left your sword out in the rain and forgot to maintain it
   [12:04] Faith Diesel: you could roll to see if you left the whitener on too long
   [12:05] LaRPS HUD: ((Help Request from TriJin Bade
   Yelena Hofmann

   Requires an invite to OOC observer group.))
   [12:05] Faith Diesel: or if your sword is too rusty to remove from the sheath
   [12:05] Faith Diesel: does that make sense?
   [12:05] Fay Genira: Yes
   [12:05] LaRPS HUD: ((Help Request from TriJin Bade
   Yelena Hofmann

   Requires an invite to OOC observer group.))
   [12:05] Pandora Fireguard: yes
   [12:05] LaRPS HUD: ((Help Request from TriJin Bade
   Yelena Hofmann

   Requires an invite to OOC observer group.))
   [12:06] Faith Diesel: anything can be significant in the right circumstance
   [12:06] Pandora Fireguard: so that would determine our actions to rp for other characters.
   [12:06] Faith Diesel: and zhandra is right - all actions against other characters are significant
   [12:07] Faith Diesel: because you have no idea what the outcome will be
   [12:07] Pandora Fireguard: the dice determine if my sword is too rusty to draw, so i run.
   [12:07] Faith Diesel: giggles
   [12:08] Fay Genira: I am sorry, but I have to leave now :-(
   [12:08] Faith Diesel: let me give you some xp
   [12:08] Fay Genira: Thank you :-)
   [12:08] Faith Diesel: the next bit is quick but very important - so do read on forum
   [12:08] Fay Genira: Can I catch up in the forum posts?
   [12:09] Fate: ((Faith Diesel is in StoryTeller mode.))
   [12:09] Fay Genira: Yes I will
   [12:09] Faith Diesel: have you got your meter on fay
   [12:09] Fay Genira: Thank you...where do the experience points show? I can't see any on the HUD
   [12:10] Fay Genira: Yes
   [12:10] Fate: ((Fay is given 1000 experience points.))
   [12:10] Faith Diesel: yay - got you
   [12:10] Faith Diesel: tc
   [12:10] Fay Genira: Thank you
   [12:10] Fay Genira: tc
   [12:10] Faith Diesel: ok important bit
   [12:11] Faith Diesel: order of your turn
   [12:11] Faith Diesel: use /2 to rp your post
   [12:11] Faith Diesel: then
   [12:11] Faith Diesel: say i am attempting to change pandoras hair pink
   [12:12] Pandora Fireguard: eek
   [12:12] Faith Diesel: i would target pandora
   [12:12] Faith Diesel: that means she gets a resist
   [12:14] Fate wiggles her nose sending a spell in an attempt to turn Pandora's hair pink.
   [12:14] Faith Diesel: i click on pandora to target her
   [12:14] Faith Diesel: or type /9tar Pand - should do it
   [12:15] Faith Diesel: then when her name appears in orange on my hud
   [12:15] Faith Diesel: i can do a dice roll to see if pandoras hair turns pink
   [12:15] Faith Diesel: you can do with me
   [12:15] Faith Diesel: press blue gem on hud
   [12:16] Faith Diesel: dont worry about the d# dice rolls - just top 3
   [12:16] Pandora Fireguard: ok,
   [12:16] Faith Diesel: i am not doing this to me or the environment so i chose target
   [12:17] Pandora successfully performs a supernatural influence on .
   [12:17] Faith Diesel: environment is anything you cannot target
   [12:17] Faith Diesel: then this is magic
   [12:17] Faith Diesel: and i am changing something so presence
   [12:17] Fate focuses on their skill of Elemental, successfully performs a supernatural presence on Pandora.
   [12:18] Faith Diesel: so my attempt is successful
   [12:18] Pandora grabs Faith's shoes as she lost hers when she ran.
   [12:19] Faith Diesel: but pandora knows her characters so she uses the attempt rp and the outcome to tell us what happened
   [12:19] Pandora Fireguard: oops
   [12:19] Pandora attempts to grab faith's shoes
   [12:19] Faith Diesel: you need to react first pandora - what happened is a reaction post
   [12:20] Faith Diesel: in your post you can do a reaction, speech, description and your own action all in one post
   [12:20] Pandora Fireguard: ah, ok.
   [12:20] Faith Diesel: but you must react otherwise the characters in your scene wont know what happened
   [12:20] Faith Diesel: you might have no hair
   [12:20] Faith Diesel: then it cant turn pink
   [12:21] Faith Diesel: you do the reaction because you know your charactee
   [12:21] Faith Diesel: r*
   [12:21] Faith Diesel: does that make sense?
   [12:21] Pandora Fireguard: i can't seem to target you.
   [12:22] Pandora Fireguard: but yes, it makes sense.
   [12:22] Faith Diesel: try /9tar Fate
   [12:22] Faith Diesel: its hard to target people sitting down
   [12:22] Pandora Fireguard: ok
   [12:22] Faith Diesel: the target is actually behind my head sitting down
   [12:22] Faith Diesel: let me stand
   [12:23] Faith Diesel: now it will be infront of me
   [12:23] Pandora misses in performing a physical influence on Fate.
   [12:23] Faith Diesel: ok you needed to do that full post first
   [12:23] Pandora she fails to get Faith's shoes and walks away limping.
   [12:24] Pandora Fireguard: i see. got it.
   [12:24] Faith Diesel: but dice roll wasnt right
   [12:24] Faith Diesel: yes target yes physical grab
   [12:24] Faith Diesel: but influence is about my mind
   [12:25] Faith Diesel: you needed presence
   [12:25] Faith Diesel: which is about movement and manipulation
   [12:25] Faith Diesel: but you get it i think
   [12:25] Pandora she fails to persuade Faith to give up her shoes and walks away limping
   [12:25] Faith Diesel: ohhhh
   [12:26] Pandora Fireguard: i see.
   [12:26] Faith Diesel: [12:19] Pandora attempts to grab faith's shoes
   [12:26] Faith Diesel: but this is what you attempted
   [12:26] Faith Diesel: so dice roll must suit that
   [12:26] Faith Diesel: its the attempt that counts
   [12:27] Pandora: ((Pandora Fireguard rolls a d100. Result is 5))
   [12:27] Pandora Fireguard: ach!
   [12:27] Faith Diesel: and fate would do what happened
   [12:27] Pandora Fireguard: i understand. have to practice this.
   [12:27] Faith Diesel: the reaction
   [12:28] Faith Diesel: you dont get to chose what happens to fate
   [12:28] Faith Diesel: the only time you would do the reaction to your own attempt is if you get a critical fail
   [12:28] Faith Diesel: when it backfires on you
   [12:29] Faith Diesel: thats all for this class but any last questions while i give xp
   [12:29] Fate: ((Pandora is given 1000 experience points.))
   [12:30] Pandora attempts to grab Faith's shoes but trips over her skirt and falls to her knees.
   [12:30] Pandora Fireguard: no, this was great. i just need to practice and read the manual.
   [12:30] Faith Diesel: that would be a good reaction to a crit fail
   [12:30] Pandora Fireguard: thank you, Faith.
   [12:30] Faith Diesel: any questions ahandra
   [12:30] Pandora Fireguard: ok, thanks :)
   [12:30] Faith Diesel: zhandra
   [12:31] Faith Diesel: my pleasure pandora - enjoy your rp
   [12:32] Faith Diesel: are you with us Zhandra?
   [12:32] Faith Diesel: giggles
   [12:32] Zhandra Osterham: I am
   [12:32] Faith Diesel: any questions?
   [12:32] Zhandra Osterham: Sorry I had a 4 year old in my lap XD
   [12:32] Zhandra Osterham: Nope
   [12:32] Zhandra Osterham: pretty straight forward
   [12:32] Faith Diesel: laughs that explains all
   [12:32] Faith Diesel: i think so
   [12:33] Fate: ((Zhandra is given 1000 experience points.))
