[17:02] Raylon Loordes: ok...now some I know and some I dont...before we get really heavy into this lets do the basics.....does everyone here know what metagaming and godmodding is?
[17:02] Lana Swallowtail: yes
[17:02] Ghost Salvadori: Yes
[17:02] Zezrae Austin nods. "Sure do."
[17:02] Lamia Starspear is Online
[17:02] Raylon Loordes: ok...tell me
[17:02] AmandaBrook Wirefly is Offline
[17:03] Ezekiel: ((Grim Berger has entered the area.))
[17:03] Zezrae Austin: Metagaming is taking ooc info and using it ic even though your character would not know it.
[17:03] AmandaBrook Wirefly is Online
[17:03] Lana Swallowtail: godmodding is taking another person's actions and describing them as your own..
[17:03] Ghost Salvadori: Godmodding: Assuming that other characters will take actions you intend to perform on them, such as hits etc,
[17:03] Lana Swallowtail: right..much better interpretation..
[17:04] Tempus Overland: ((Tempus Overland is In Character))
[17:04] Raylon Loordes: both are good..metagaming and godmodding is right however metagaming is also reading tags..greeting someone your character wouldnt know just because you know the tag
[17:04] Raylon Loordes: hello tempus
[17:04] Lana Swallowtail: you make a better door than a window..grim
[17:04] Raylon Loordes: lol
[17:04] Rune Crimson: open him then?
[17:04] Rune Crimson: lol
[17:04] Raylon Loordes: hey rune and grim go ahead and have a eat guys
[17:04] Raylon Loordes: seat...lol
[17:05] Raylon Loordes: ok now for a phrase that most don't know.....powergaming....what is it?
[17:06] EdwardGrey Lamplight: okay now that I do not know 0.o
[17:06] Ghost Salvadori: I don't know that one, admittedly.
[17:06] Tempus Overland: Making a series of post so quickly that the other player has no time to respond That one form of it.
[17:06] Lana Swallowtail: hmm...???
[17:06] Raylon Loordes: nope thats godmodding
[17:06] Cleyandra Ryan is Online
[17:06] Raylon Loordes: metagaming is......
[17:06] Raylon Loordes: damn it..powergaming is......
[17:07] Raylon Loordes: a character that acts all powerful..no weaknesses no faults....the fun in rping is having strengths and weaknesses...everyone can feel pain...everyone can be hurt..noone is god and noone should act like it
[17:07] Ghost Salvadori: So like the Gary-Stu archetype sort of thing?
[17:07] Neecholette Daxeline is Offline
[17:07] EdwardGrey Lamplight: ah I see
[17:07] Leigh Huet is Online
[17:07] Raylon Loordes: right
[17:08] Ghost Salvadori: Gotcha
[17:08] Rune Crimson: a player can be described as a powergamer if he or she presumes or declares that his or her own action against another player character is successful without giving the other player character the freedom to act on his own prerogative.
[17:08] Raylon Loordes: thats gomodding rune
[17:08] Rune Crimson: Not according to Wiki lol
[17:09] Nellie Meads is Online
[17:09] Rune Crimson: just giving you shit Ray it does say that on wiki though so they got it mix up too
[17:09] Raylon Loordes: these rules and descriptions have been the same since the dawn of rp as far as I am aware...I have been rping for 17 years and know these terms well...and rune I know your jumping my shit dont make me bitch slap you ;)
[17:10] Neecholette Daxeline is Online
[17:10] TriJin Bade removes Rune from the christmas card list.
[17:10] Raylon Loordes: ok next topic I can not drill enough...think statements...otherwise known as dead rp...we dont like it it gives nothing for anyone to go off on and really irritates us moderators
[17:10] Raylon Loordes: *snorts* heya trijin
[17:10] Lilura Fenwitch: Hello all, sorry for the late arrival
[17:11] EdwardGrey Lamplight: Rune is on Tri's naughty list =P
[17:11] Raylon Loordes: its fine lilura have a seat and welcome
[17:11] Lilura Fenwitch: thank you
[17:11] Vedis Seid is Offline
[17:12] Raylon Loordes: thinks statement...example
[17:12] Raylon Loordes: *looks around his only thought that everyone here was beneath him and lower then the shit on the bottom of his shoe asking himself why he even wastes his time.
[17:13] EdwardGrey Lamplight: can't get much deader than that
[17:13] Raylon Loordes: this is a dead post...no matter how eloquently you type something if there are no descriptions of facial features no actualy spoken words...there is nothing to go on
[17:13] Ghost Salvadori: So pretty much the only thing an observer would get from that was that he looked around.
[17:13] Raylon Loordes: to react to a post like that is metagaming because your character wouldnt know thats what they were thinking
[17:13] Raylon Loordes: RIGHT!
[17:13] Raylon Loordes: a better way to word that...
[17:13] EdwardGrey Lamplight: yeah but still he didn't really describe how he looks around, there was no description of expression, so still in my opinion nothing to go on
[17:13] Tempus Overland: It's also an insult, which is another no-no.
[17:14] Raylon Loordes: *looks around and mutters* petulant insolants are worth nothing *looking at the bottom of his shoe he smirks and wipes the bottom on the street* I see not a difference....
[17:14] Vedis Seid is Online
[17:14] Raylon Loordes: edward and tempus...both correct
[17:15] Raylon Loordes: if you are going to think an insult then say the insult...besides its alot of fun when you have to back it up lol
[17:15] EdwardGrey Lamplight: *chuckles*
[17:15] EdwardGrey Lamplight: may I ask a question Ray, or shall I wait a bit?
[17:15] Raylon Loordes: go ahead edward if it fits the topic
[17:16] EdwardGrey Lamplight: it does yes ^^
[17:16] Raylon Loordes: then ask away :)
[17:16] EdwardGrey Lamplight: so does that mean that think statements are not allowed completely? what if you have a think statement but then have a sentence after it full of speech or descriptive behavior?
[17:16] Raylon Loordes: give me an example
[17:17] EdwardGrey Lamplight: hm okay
[17:17] Raylon Loordes: *coughs* ever seen me rp? I do thought and description but show me what you mean
[17:17] Lilura Fenwitch: If you think something it cannot be used in rp so there is no point to it
[17:18] Raylon Loordes: you can think it and do something to offset it
[17:18] Edward Leyland wonders if Ray dyed his hair, or if perhaps Zorro had had his wicked Spanish way with him under a tree due to his new appearence. However he doesn't voice this particular thought and looks awkwardly at his feet instead, "N-..nice suit.." he says quietly.
[17:18] EdwardGrey Lamplight: that sort of thing? excuse the silly example lol
[17:18] Raylon Loordes: lol
[17:18] Raylon Loordes: ok I'm laughing my ass off....hang on
[17:18] Ghost Salvadori: rofl
[17:18] Zezrae Austin: lol
[17:19] EdwardGrey Lamplight: lol i consider that an achievement
[17:19] Lana Swallowtail: It seems like it gives insight into the character?
[17:19] Lilura Fenwitch: but insight we cannot use or respond to
[17:20] Lana Swallowtail: ah...
[17:20] EdwardGrey Lamplight: yeah but there is something to respond to anyway, it just gives the post a bit more depth, no?
[17:20] Raylon Loordes: ok better way would be to mutter something about a different look then look at me and clear your throat, "Nice suit....goes with the hair..." then do the thought...but let me warn you...references to things people places and objects in a furture time then 1891 it not permitted....that is actually an ooc no no
[17:20] Lana Swallowtail: but we can't read your mind...so it's no good for us to see it..
[17:20] EdwardGrey Lamplight: lol no no obviously, hence why it was a silly example
[17:20] Lilura Fenwitch: and as funny as it is, it is still a closed rp
[17:21] Raylon Loordes: only that part is closed but you are right lilura...the point is in your post you MUST give other rpers something to go off on...and no insults in emotes
[17:21] LaRPS Meter v0.25: ((Ghost Salvadori's meter has been detached.))
[17:21] EdwardGrey Lamplight: I don't wholly agree with you Lilura, but if Ray says it isn't good then I shall refrain from doing such an rp =3
[17:22] Raylon Loordes: hell rp everything you can and make that statement in ooc it would be great
[17:22] EdwardGrey Lamplight: i thought dead rp was like no action or speech or face expressions whatsoever
[17:22] EdwardGrey Lamplight: even though i said and did something in the example post it is still no good?
[17:22] Raylon Loordes: the entire post was not dead no...but for every thought and feeling try to have something that depicts that that people can rp with like a look or a spoken phrase
[17:23] Lilura Fenwitch: dead rp is not giving anything that can be responded to aswell
[17:23] EdwardGrey Lamplight: ah I see Ray
[17:23] Raylon Loordes: :) wonderful!
[17:23] LaRPS Meter v0.25: ((Ghost Salvadori's meter has been detached.))
[17:24] Raylon Loordes: and this actually leads into the next subject ....OOC Drama and OOC in RP..this is strictly forbidden and is not tolerated at all....if your character doesnt know it from rp they dont know it...if you have an issue ICly please for the love of everything holy...do NOT take it oocly....
[17:24] Raylon Loordes: take me for example
[17:24] Raylon Loordes: I am the most helpful and sweetest person you will ever meet OOCly
[17:24] EdwardGrey Lamplight: so like...*Edward wonders if a Spanish rogue had his wicked way Ray under a tree due to his darker look and an embarrassed expression bloomed on his face, biting his lower lip*
[17:24] EdwardGrey Lamplight: would that be better at all?
[17:24] Raylon Loordes: ICly I am an arrogant aristocratic ass and I will glad show you how rude and condescending I can be
[17:24] EdwardGrey Lamplight: for the first half of the post anyway
[17:25] Raylon Loordes: *looks at Raylon with a look of shock on his face* nice suite....um...you look different...change bloodline?" chuckles thinking that he reminded him of someone though he couldnt place who.
[17:26] EdwardGrey Lamplight: ah okay
[17:26] EdwardGrey Lamplight: so basically all think statements are a no?
[17:26] Raylon Loordes: if there is nothing to act on then yes
[17:27] Raylon Loordes: see you can do a thought as long as there is something to back it up
[17:27] EdwardGrey Lamplight: hm okay, i think I get it..
[17:27] Raylon Loordes: *walks over to Edward wondering how his head got so thick and wraps his knuckles against his skull lightly, "Heloooo anyone in there?"
[17:27] Raylon Loordes: hehehe
[17:27] Nazaire Dragonash is Offline
[17:27] Raylon Loordes: are we kosher?
[17:27] Ghost Salvadori: In short, the way I would imagine it is a thought could be an aside of your post but it shouldn't be the meat of it. You have to give soemthing for the other player to work with else it's going to get terribly awkward and boring. IMO at least.
[17:28] EdwardGrey Lamplight: *gasp* ow, mean!
[17:28] EdwardGrey Lamplight: lol i'll mull it over in my thick skull and i'm sure i will get it properly
[17:28] Raylon Loordes: exactly ghost and no thought insults...if you have the guts to type it in a thought then speak it for crying out loud :P
[17:28] Raylon Loordes: LOL edward
[17:28] Ghost Salvadori: Gotcha
[17:29] Raylon Loordes: ok...everyone cool on that...and on ooc drama...do not say you werent warned I keep lists of those in attendance ;)
[17:29] Ghost Salvadori nods
[17:29] Lana Swallowtail nods as well...
[17:29] EdwardGrey Lamplight: what about ooc drama?
[17:30] Raylon Loordes: *facepalms* Don't Do it!
[17:30] Lilura Fenwitch: don't do it
[17:30] Lilura Fenwitch: lol
[17:30] EdwardGrey Lamplight: ah right *is tired and spacey today* of course not!
[17:30] Raylon Loordes: hehehe
[17:31] Raylon Loordes: the residents group is a wonderful tool...you can shout for help...include the sim in a post of flyers and other things...use it to your fullest capability...walk the streets in an emote of looking for those to pickpocket or feed from...or that you woke up and went to such and such place that way people know where you are if they want to search you for rp
[17:32] Raylon Loordes: however please PLEASE always remember that the resident groups are IC posts ONLY...the ooc is for banter calling for storytellers and mods and generllly joking around...and never EVER ask for IC info in the ooc group...you want to know you find out icly :P
[17:32] Ghost Salvadori: Before we go on, I'm still an SL n00b. since a couple of days ago, is there reference material for how all of the tools work and what they do etc, etc on the website? If so, i'll just smile and nod along and go read them later.
[17:33] EdwardGrey Lamplight: see i always thought that that is subtly metagaming, the whole reading someones residents post then seeking them out, cos like you're character isn't psychic, they aren't gonna know where that person is...but i guess seeing as you just said that's what it's there for then it isn't
[17:34] Raylon Loordes: lol I will post this class on the forum..your best bet is to read the notecards in the orientation and ask questions if you have them...once your avitar is 14 days old we will gladly except rp...until then though please remain ooc it is to give you a chance to explore and see if this is where you fit it ghost...there are tons of things online larps and in the legacies forums and community pages
[17:34] Sais Xue is Offline
[17:34] Ghost Salvadori: Alright. Thankyou much. I understand the waiting period rule also.
[17:34] Raylon Loordes: lol put it this way edward someone emotes being somewhere if you want to rp with them your character strolls or has a reason for being in the vacinity and boom there you go its go time
[17:35] Raylon Loordes: wonderful to hear ghost...if anyone wishes to add me for future questions my ims are always open and so is my willingness to help
[17:35] EdwardGrey Lamplight: yeah no i see the logic ^^
[17:36] Ghost Salvadori is Online

[17:38] Lana Swallowtail: In the Dice roll...when do we use the 3d10-d100..I recently learned how to use the PvTarget, PvAb, PvE
[17:38] Raylon Loordes: ((Rune Shen'Lung is given 1000 experience points.))
[17:38] Raylon Loordes: ((Artur Lionheart de Morhban is given 1000 experience points.))
[17:39] EdwardGrey Lamplight: don't even get me started on dice rolls...@.@;
[17:39] Raylon Loordes: the numbered dice rolls are only used now for duration rps...like how long when you critically fail until you are ok again...all of your rolls will be in the actions and the pvtarget pv ability and pvenviroment
[17:39] Raylon Loordes: no player should be using the numbered dice anymore
[17:39] Lana Swallowtail: ok that's what I wanted to know...
