[17:06] Storry Telling: smiles warmly
[17:06] Raylon Loordes: most welcome its good to have all of you here....who here can tell me what metagaming is
[17:07] Inumaru Udein: oh oh * raises hand*
[17:07] Fox: ((Fox Onizuka has entered the area.))
[17:07] Storry Telling listens quietly attentive
[17:07] Raylon Loordes: go ahead inu
[17:07] Sais Xue is Offline
[17:07] Inumaru Udein: it's when you use knowledge, obtained out of character, in character when your character doesn't know that information.
[17:08] Raylon Loordes: thats part of it...very good
[17:08] Inumaru Udein: thanks ^^
[17:09] Arizona Hawksby: Things like tag reading/meter and title reading fall in that category too yes?
[17:09] Raylon Loordes: another part of it is reading tags....you know a person if you know thier name...but if they change looks or forms then icly you dont know its them...reading tags and names is a form of metagaming as well....take me for example....I look nothing like I did a month ago....and most that have seen me rped not knowing me which is how it should have been
[17:10] Raylon Loordes: yes aarizona awsome!
[17:10] Inumaru Udein: yea.. had that happen once.. kinda ruined the RP
[17:11] Raylon Loordes: it does and it can...be very careful in what you know....if you did not learn it ICly then you do not know it ICly plain and simple...
[17:11] Arizona Hawksby: It is sort of a fun sucker when people do it to you.
[17:11] Inumaru Udein: i looked like my original char, John McMullin, but had my current tag.. and he called me by name.. w/o even knowing it.. and it screwed everything up.
[17:11] Raylon Loordes: any questions on that?
[17:11] Tiffanii: ((Tiffanii Fang has entered the area.))
[17:11] Inumaru Udein: i have one suggestion.. unless you know em.. treat em like a stranger.
[17:11] Raylon Loordes: there you go tiffanii
[17:11] Inumaru Udein: that way.. your almost always safe
[17:12] Raylon Loordes: that is very correct inu
[17:13] Inumaru Udein: hell.. i do that alot since i'm a barkeep/ owner
[17:13] Raylon Loordes: even if you do know them though dont assume you will recognize just by the name
[17:13] Mateem Batistuta: Always look at the character first... even just to see if your char can see them within thier sights. I've made that mistake. :P
[17:13] Arizona Hawksby: I end up putting stuff like that in my title, like "unrecognizable" or whatever... to keep people from being dorks.
[17:14] Mateem Batistuta: Ah, you may want to be a bit careful there Arizona. A better title may be 'Disguised.'
[17:14] Raylon Loordes: ok...metagaming....who can tell me what that is?
[17:15] Fox Onizuka: I thought that was covered.
[17:15] Raylon Loordes: hello tempus
[17:15] Raylon Loordes: sorry godmodding lol
[17:15] Tempus Overland: Hello.
[17:15] Raylon Loordes: I have a bit of a distraction in my living room
[17:15] Mateem Batistuta: Hello there Aelevere
[17:15] Artur Lionheart: Back, my apologies, dinner was being served
[17:15] Aelevere Zamani: hi
[17:16] Tiffanii Fang: Isn't it OSme type of Finalizing type blow in Combat?
[17:16] Raylon Loordes: hello to those just joining and wb artur
[17:16] Saori Aeon: Yay for sit teleportation!
[17:16] Fox Onizuka: God-moding is pretty much stating that my action causes this effect irrevocably.
[17:16] Arizona Hawksby: excellent suggestion. Thank you.
[17:16] Artur Lionheart: Metagaming is using information that you personaly know, but your character would have no idea of
[17:16] Arizona Hawksby: Causing something to happen that gives no chance for others to change, avoid or choose for themselves.
[17:16] Raylon Loordes: yes....godmodding is stating another's reaction to something ....or simply posting so fast that the others do not have a chance to respond
[17:16] Lady Jillian: ((Jillian Bhalti has entered the area.))
[17:16] Storry Telling: nods LIstening ...
[17:17] Fox Onizuka: Ive seen people god-mod the dice.
[17:17] Raylon Loordes: if you do see that fox please call a mod
[17:17] Artur Lionheart: Like lets say the new major was in reality a demon, and you knew that because it was mentioned in the OOC channel, you can't use your character to accuse them of being a demon as the character wouldn't know
[17:17] Raylon Loordes: we do not take godmodding or metagaming or powergaming lightly
[17:17] Raylon Loordes: correct artur very correct nice example
[17:17] Mateem Batistuta: Actualy Artur that's another example of metagaming.
[17:18] Fox Onizuka: they were a new player and the other person went along with it.
[17:18] Saori Aeon: The new Mayor is a demon..but he's open about it ^^
[17:18] Raylon Loordes: it was a good example of metagaming
[17:18] Fox Onizuka: what I saw was that the person RPed their attempt as:
[17:18] Raylon Loordes: it doesnt matter fox...no way to learn the difference if the correctiong isnt made
[17:18] Raylon Loordes: but its over with now and nothing we can do with it at the moment
[17:19] Raylon Loordes: does anyone know what powergaming is?
[17:19] Fox Onizuka: Throws a haymaker at so-and-sos head, and if successful will knock so and so out.
[17:19] Mateem Batistuta: Actually, that's a perfectly legitimate statement.
[17:19] Fox Onizuka: I disagree.
[17:19] Mateem Batistuta: A godmodding statement would be "/me throws a haymaker at so and sos head and knocks them out."
[17:20] Mateem Batistuta: In your statement, they could opt to dodge.
[17:20] Tiffanii Fang: See thats what i thought it was
[17:20] Raylon Loordes: it is legitamate it is an aattempt the way I read it...the if successful is only if the roll goes according to plan...if it doesnt then they rp the failure
[17:20] Fox Onizuka: not if the person rolls a success.
[17:20] Mateem Batistuta: Yup, in which case, the person's stats support that action
[17:20] Mateem Batistuta: Therefore, they could do it.
[17:20] Raylon Loordes: the knock out part should be different i agree but the rest is fine
[17:20] Fox Onizuka: I disagree again.
[17:20] Mateem Batistuta: Yes, there are no instant knockouts.
[17:20] Fox Onizuka: I agree with Raylon.
[17:21] Fox Onizuka: the way the person RPed it, by rolling a success, it is an instant knock out
[17:21] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu is Online
[17:22] Raylon Loordes: in which case call a mod it should not be done that way....but to put a hit say soand so if sucessful would connect with the person's head is acceptable
[17:22] Mateem Batistuta: Nope, no insta-knockouts. Not even on a stellar sucess, unless the player goes ahead and plays it that way.
[17:22] Mateem Batistuta: The player being the controller of the character that's getting the haymaker thrown at them
[17:23] Fox Onizuka: And I see other simular action enders all the time.
[17:23] Raylon Loordes: ok unless no other issues or if this isnt clear we can move on...if anyone is un clear on this let me know
[17:23] Wyld Frostwych is Offline
[17:23] Raylon Loordes: then fox bring it to the attention of a mod and we wilol take care of it
[17:23] Mateem Batistuta: Which is why it's best to call an ST for a fight.
[17:23] Raylon Loordes: we wnat everyone's rp to be fair
[17:23] Storry Telling: nods
[17:24] Raylon Loordes: powergaming........can someone define please?
[17:25] Jillian Bhalti: I have no idea and feel foolish for not knowing
[17:25] Raylon Loordes: not at all jillian alot of people dont know and thats why I cover it
[17:25] Mateem Batistuta: *grins* That's why we hold classes like this, to bring everyone up to speed.
[17:26] Storry Telling: Its very interesting...and a good way to get aquainted too OOcly.
[17:26] Saori Aeon: That's why I came, just to hang out OOC with people.. odd how more show up for the class than I ever actually see in RP -_-
[17:27] Mateem Batistuta: Powergaming can be defined several ways actually..
[17:27] Mateem Batistuta: One way in how you post
[17:27] Raylon Loordes: powergaming.....playing a character that has no faults or weaknesses and the exact oppisite playing no strengths...everyone is good at some things and strong in some areas...and EVERYONE has weaknesses...if you are hit you arent going to ignore it...if you are weak and spelled against if the other's roll is a success you arent going to just rp no damage
[17:27] Mateem Batistuta: The other in how you play your character.
[17:27] Raylon Loordes: hello saori
[17:28] Mateem Batistuta: It can also be defined as posting rapid fire, and not giving the other players a chance to respond.
[17:28] Jillian Bhalti is ncing all of this.
[17:28] Raylon Loordes: thats godmodding in most books
[17:28] Arizona Hawksby: ooh! Im out there all the time, just... shy.
[17:28] Mateem Batistuta: Not even in a god modding sense.
[17:28] Raylon Loordes: either way its wrong lol
[17:28] Mateem Batistuta: ParaRPers get this alot sometimes...
[17:29] Storry Telling: nods
[17:29] Mateem Batistuta: While they're trying to respond to something...
[17:29] Mateem Batistuta: The other character has already filled up the page with 10 more posts.
[17:29] Greyangel Parx is Online
[17:29] Raylon Loordes: the thing to remember is patience...I myself am a very fast typer and most here can attest to it...but I wait for others because some are slow typers...some require time to think...its best to have common courtesy when rping
[17:30] Mateem Batistuta: *raises hand and hangs head in shame* I am Mateem and I am a slow ass typist.
[17:30] Jillian Bhalti laughs me to. sometimes.
[17:30] Greyangel Parx is Offline
[17:30] Raylon Loordes: *wacks Mateem in the back of the head* ((godmod)) You just think before you type....
[17:31] Storry Telling: smiles
[17:31] Jillian Bhalti: o.O you gonna let him do that.
[17:31] Mateem Batistuta: Yup.
[17:31] Mateem Batistuta: :3
[17:31] Jillian Bhalti: ;p
[17:31] Mateem Batistuta: Cuz this is OOC
[17:31] Raylon Loordes: ok....are there anyquestions so far....the last subject is going to take a bit and I have 30 mins till log LOL
[17:31] Mateem Batistuta: And I'm lazy.
[17:31] Fox Onizuka: I tend to type fairly fast, and I tend to use multpile posts to complete 1 action. This is because I see it as giving the other person something to read while I finish typing out what I am doing.
[17:32] Raylon Loordes: if it is someone you have not posted to before though fox...the best thing is top give a gentle nudge in IM's to let them know
[17:32] Azrabella Hawkins is more likely to para rp
[17:32] Raylon Loordes: I dont rp with you as I usually dont see you butif I did and did not know that about you I may not know when youa re done or think you may be trying to overstep...always good to make things clear as to have no issues
[17:32] Tsavo Richardson is Offline
[17:32] Saori Aeon: Or a swift OOC kick in the arse to motivate them Fox ^_-
[17:33] Raylon Loordes: next topic is......dum dum dadum!!!!! Think statements otherwise known as dead rp!
[17:33] Fox Onizuka: jumps in saoris lap with a flurry of licks to the face
[17:33] Saori Aeon: Hah! Bout time I see that addressed!
[17:33] Jillian Bhalti: Yush a note in your profile specifing helps peeps sometimes if they bother to look.
[17:33] Raylon Loordes: I cover it every class saori
[17:34] Arizona Hawksby: I hate those.
[17:34] Saori Aeon tries to fend him off and keep her face clear "Ge'off you bloody mongrel!"
[17:34] Raylon Loordes: Think statements and dead rp...it gives nothing for the other to rp off of without metagaming the information
[17:34] Arizona Hawksby: If I am not psychic, please don't think at me.
[17:34] Raylon Loordes: I need a volunteer
[17:34] Azrabella Hawkins thinks Raylon and Mateem are dead sexy then smacks herself for the thought.
[17:34] Saori Aeon nods to Arizona.
[17:34] Raylon Loordes: and everyone to be polite and hold thier typing....I want this really clear as we have had some issues with it
[17:35] Raylon Loordes: *flushes heavily as he sees Azrabella flush looking at him and hearing the resounding smack to her face only made it worse*
[17:35] MorighanStormcrow Fairey is Online
[17:35] Raylon Loordes: ok volunteer please!
[17:35] Arizona Hawksby: err
[17:35] Mateem Batistuta: Hehehe I'll go if no one else wants to
[17:35] Fox Onizuka: sees raylon flush and tries to Nudge saori to go comfort him.
[17:36] Raylon Loordes: Arizona...you typed first lol come on up hon
[17:36] Arizona Hawksby: ... I type too much
[17:36] Mateem Batistuta: HA!
[17:36] Cleyandra Ryan is Online
[17:36] Storry Telling: smiles
[17:37] Raylon Loordes: ok....I am going to do a post.....now I am going to dead rp it first ....then retype it to show the correct way...I want ou to respond in your normal way....ok?
[17:37] Arizona Hawksby: umm. sure
[17:37] Raylon Loordes: *looks at Arizona wondering if he should even try to bother talking to her* (dead))
[17:38] Saori Aeon: Not to mention a pansy way to get someone to RP with you ^_-
[17:38] Raylon Loordes: *walks over to Arizona, gently taking her hand he brings it to his lips brushing them over her knuckles, "Good evening Miss" though his black orbs never left hers he winced slightly expecting a sound connection of her hand to his face.
[17:40] Azrabella Hawkins 's cheeks flush pinkly as her hand is kissed. Looking up at the stranger who greeted her so she squeeks "Good evening to you as well, Sir."
[17:40] Mateem Batistuta: There are more slippery ways to do think statements as well, veiled insults are one of my pet peevs.
[17:40] Saori Aeon: Yeah thats better..I'd have brushed my hand accross her backside..but to each their own!
[17:40] Raylon Loordes: I was getting to that lover
[17:40] Mateem stops and looks at the arrogant idiot, "Well I'm time will tell who is right then, won't we Raylon."
[17:40] Raylon Loordes: *arches a brow wondering what crawled up his ass* I suppose you are correct patience will prove all in time
[17:40] Raylon Loordes: LOL
[17:41] Azrabella Hawkins snickers "Can I sit down now? I feel weird."
[17:41] Jillian Bhalti: lol
[17:41] Raylon Loordes: dead rp think statements we prefer not to use at all....think insults are a no and will be docked for
[17:41] Arizona Hawksby: I have someones cam up my skirt...
[17:41] Fox Onizuka: I don't see that as really being dead. by the words, you can visualize your chatacters posture and expressions without the need of having it typed out
[17:41] Aelevere Zamani: ((I appologize, I need to run :(
[17:41] Saori Aeon: Only after you finish your strip tease..then you can sit
[17:41] Jillian Bhalti: Its not mine
[17:41] Mateem Batistuta: It's still a think statement, Fox.
[17:41] Raylon Loordes: lol go ahead
[17:42] Raylon Loordes: ((Azrabella Hawkins is given 500 experience points.))
[17:42] Saori Aeon: Fox..doesn't talk, it's a little different for him
[17:42] Mateem Batistuta: It forces you to godmod what the other character is doing.
[17:42] Fox Onizuka: Another point I disagree on.
[17:42] Raylon Loordes: without the other typing the expressions it is a dead rp
[17:42] Arizona Hawksby: oh intersting.
[17:42] Tiffanii: ((Tiffanii Fang is Out Of Character))
[17:42] Raylon Loordes: if there is no expression to be known or action to be seen in the reading then there is nothing for the other to act on without metagaming the information
[17:43] Mateem Batistuta: Fox, imagining what another character is doing and reacting based of that, is godmodding what the other character is doing.
[17:43] Saori Aeon: Honestly the difference is typing what your character is thinking, that's dead rp.. Typing what they are phsycially doing is entirely diffrent.
[17:43] Tiffanii: ((Tiffanii Fang is In Character))
[17:43] Raylon Loordes: but you can think and typoe your reactions at the same time
[17:43] Raylon Loordes: example
[17:43] Arizona Hawksby: I need to work a bit on those myself honestly. I am sure I have done it, and likely too much.
[17:44] Raylon Loordes: *looks at Matty with a brow arched* excuse me I was wondering...do you always dress this way when entering public?" his voice would be condoning and flat as he thought of the disgrace*
[17:44] Raylon Loordes: every single thought part had a reaction of expression or tone in my post
[17:44] Saori Aeon: translation: put a shirt on hippy
[17:44] Raylon Loordes: lol he is my smexy hubby *grins*
[17:45] Raylon Loordes: ok are there any questions?
[17:45] Mateem grinned and spread his legs wide, leaning back and looked to the man with a predatory gleam in his eye, "I like to think of it as beautifying the landscape."
[17:45] Raylon Loordes: *thuds and cackles*
[17:45] Jillian Bhalti: ROFL
[17:45] Saori Aeon gags a little.
[17:45] Tiffanii Fang: Giggles
[17:46] Mateem Batistuta: *grins like a dog*
[17:46] Raylon Loordes: I am going to pass out the xp pls noone move
[17:46] Jillian Bhalti: pass's her a drink here. lol
[17:46] Raylon Loordes: that was greart LOL
[17:46] Raylon Loordes: ((Sprocket is given 1000 experience points.))
[17:46] Fox Onizuka: still there is some implied gestures within the one post. The way it was constructed provides a very clear mental image of posture, expression, and vocal tone.
[17:46] Raylon Loordes: ((Fox is given 1000 experience points.))
[17:46] Tiffanii Fang: HaHaHa
[17:46] Arizona Hawksby: lol
[17:46] Raylon Loordes: the one I did yes...the first one where all I did was look then think no it didnt
[17:46] Raylon Loordes: ((Mateem is given 1000 experience points.))
[17:47] Raylon Loordes: (( Astoria Telling is given 1000 experience points.))
[17:47] Raylon Loordes: ((Lady Jillian is given 1000 experience points.))
[17:47] Raylon Loordes: ((Azrabella Hawkins is given 1000 experience points.))
[17:47] Jillian Bhalti: for heavens sakes would you be still.LOL
[17:47] Raylon Loordes: ((Tiffanii is given 1000 experience points.))
[17:47] Arizona Hawksby: Thank you Raylon. As with the other teachers, it was interesting, informative... and amusing. Thank you.
[17:47] Raylon Loordes: ((Artur Lionheart de Morhban is given 1000 experience points.))
[17:47] Raylon Loordes: ((Tempus Overland is given 1000 experience points.))
[17:47] Mateem Batistuta: Thank you Ray-love!
[17:48] Raylon Loordes: I'm glad I could be of service
[17:48] Tiffanii Fang: Yes Thanks I quite enjoyed that
[17:48] Raylon Loordes: always welcome lover
[17:48] Tempus Overland: Thank you.
[17:48] Azrabella Hawkins imagines the two of them filling a sweet n low packet.
[17:48] Jillian Bhalti: You two are so sweet I wanna huggles you both.
[17:48] Raylon Loordes: always remember when in doubt just ask an st or a mod we are here to help you we want everyone to enjoy thier experience in the full emersion sim
[17:48] Mateem Batistuta: Oh, we fill more than that. *nods sagely*
