   [17:04] Raylon Loordes: welcome catt and zon
   [17:04] Rogan Thor: I have
   [17:04] Catt Catiria: Hi all
   [17:04] Malena Mactavish: Welcome back, Catt
   [17:04] Begonia Rainforest: i have done mmorpg
   [17:04] Kiralette Kelley: I have
   [17:04] Raylon Loordes: ok good....
   [17:05] Malena Mactavish: me a bit
   [17:05] Raylon Loordes: let me ask this....who can give me the definition of godmodding
   [17:05] Zon Millar: Greetings. :)
   [17:05] Malena Mactavish: Greetings Zon
   [17:05] Raylon Loordes: hello my love *looks at the fox*

   [17:05] Catt Catiria: Making things happen and using not found out info
   [17:06] Raylon Loordes: yes and no catt
   [17:06] Raylon Loordes: the first part is correct but I am looking for a little more elaboration
   [17:06] Catt Catiria: Elaboration always gets me in trouble
   [17:06] Raylon Loordes: lol in class its a good thing

   [17:07] Malena Mactavish: I attack you and defeat you I don't give the chance to you rp a backfire?
   [17:07] Raylon Loordes: thats part too good catt and malena
   [17:07] MorighanStormcrow Fairey is Online
   [17:07] Rogan Thor: godmoding is where you take control of the rp and post where you control the outcome
   [17:08] Rogan Thor: without giving the other player a chance
   [17:08] Raylon Loordes: Gomodding....determining the outcome of a post for the person you are posting against...also it is the posting so fast that the one you are playing with does not have a chance to respond
   [17:08] Raylon Loordes: yes rogan very good
   [17:08] Raylon Loordes: someone give me the example of a godmod
   [17:09] Catt catt slaps Zon knocking him to the ground
   [17:09] Raylon Loordes: wonderful

   [17:09] Raylon Loordes: godmodding is not allowed there are major reprocussions for it.....I want to ask....anyone here know what there typing speed is?
   [17:09] Catt Catiria: 60wpm
   [17:10] Raylon Loordes: anyone else?
   [17:10] Kiralette Kelley: 87wpm
   [17:10] Kiralette Kelley: i type all day *shrugs* heh

   [17:10] Malena Mactavish: I have no clue.
   [17:10] Zon Millar: Zon travel back in the past and slaps Catt before she tries to slap him. Is this also a Godmodding? ;)
   [17:10] Raylon Loordes: there reason I ask this is to make a point
   [17:11] Raylon Loordes: yes zon LOL
   [17:11] Malena Mactavish: lol
   [17:11] Catt elbows zon in the arm

   [17:12] Raylon Loordes: not everyone types the same speed...some only type 20 wpm but they are paraposters meaning they post paragraphs...the rp can very well be worth it but you have to have a little patience for people...everyone is going to type different...some think before they type...at the end of the day it is player respect...if you are in doubt that someone is posting a simple IM nudge to ask is all that is needed
   [17:12] Raylon Loordes: I know for a fact that when it comes to posting not only am I one of the fastest typers but I think very quick on my feet when posting...you will see if you rp with me though I give EVERYONE a chance to post to me
   [17:13] Raylon Loordes: any questions on godmodding?
   [17:13] Catt Catiria: Do you have to attempt or try everything?
   [17:13] Marcus Firegrave is Offline
   [17:13] Raylon Loordes: if it involves another player or chance then yes it is n attempt
   [17:14] Raylon Loordes: if you think about it life is an attempt...how many times have you gone to drink something only to find you dribbled it down your chin?
   [17:14] Catt Catiria: what about behind closed doors?? She asks as sh bows her head in shame

   [17:14] Raylon Loordes: *chuckles* even behind closed doors catt
   [17:15] Raylon Loordes: you never know what could happen....you could take a few steps into the other room only to stub your foot on a doorjamb

   [17:16] Malena Mactavish: I am here?
   [17:17] Raylon Loordes: yes
   [17:17] Raylon Loordes: now....who can tell me what metagaming is
   [17:17] Malena Mactavish: Ops, thank you. I though I lost the connection

   [17:17] Catt Catiria: using information not provided in chat
   [17:17] Raylon Loordes: lol its alright
   [17:17] Raylon Loordes: yes
   [17:18] Raylon Loordes: it is also reading tags...assuming you know an avitar just because you know the name....play very close attention to wether the person is in disguise....it is also using infor found in IMs or in the OOC and putting it into play in rp
   [17:18] Raylon Loordes: NEVER read a profile and use the info as if you were told

   [17:19] Zon Hi Raynol, I am glad to meat the main storyteller on Legacies. Could be this?
   [17:19] Raylon Loordes: yes
   [17:19] Raylon Loordes: in character I am NOT a storyteller
   [17:20] Raylon Loordes: I am not in legacies I am in london LOL
   [17:20] Malena Mactavish: What kind of character is your big ball?
   [17:20] Raylon Loordes: if you have not been introduced....if you have not been told in character then you do not know
   [17:20] Raylon Loordes: lol I use this for storytelling so people do not get confused with my avitar on the main floor..I do not rp a ball
   [17:20] Begonia giggles
   [17:20] Malena Mactavish: Oh * blushes and melts into the puff*

   [17:21] Raylon Loordes: ok this next one is a bonus..I will give an added 1000 xp to anyone that can give me the correct definition of powergaming
   [17:21] Mateem Batistuta: Sometimes Storytellers use rediculous or funny avs to ST in, more or less for the entertainment value and yes, to avoid there being confusion.

   [17:21] Malena Mactavish: thank you for the explanation.
   [17:21] Catt Catiria: using ooc info and and using the meter to your advantage
   [17:22] Raylon Loordes: nope sorry catt
   [17:22] Catt Catiria: I tried

   [17:22] Raylon Loordes: eh it was a good try I will give you that
   [17:22] Catt Catiria: How about playing others against each other using im
   [17:23] Raylon Loordes: nope
   [17:23] Zon: "picks up Raylon and starts playing basketball with him."
   [17:23] Catt Catiria: I'm gonna shut up now
   [17:23] Raylon Loordes: lol you are trying and thts a good thing
   [17:23] Raylon Loordes: anyone else?
   [17:23] Mateem Batistuta: That's OOC drama, and a big nono. And that's an example of godmodding, Zon.
   [17:23] Raylon Loordes: powergaming....
   [17:23] Malena Mactavish listens
   [17:24] Begonia Rainforest: ignoring the rp to say kill spiders
   [17:24] Zon Millar: closes his eyes and kills everybody around him? ;)

   [17:24] Mateem Batistuta: Nah, that's just being more intersted in button mashing than the RP.
   [17:24] Raylon Loordes: playing a character that is all invincable....takes no damage...breaks a bone and the character laughs at you for it...being able to do everything and anything even if it is not plausible or if it is not within your character race's powers
   [17:24] Mateem Batistuta: And just generally poor RP form.
   [17:24] Begonia Rainforest: aaah that makes sense
   [17:25] Mateem Batistuta: IT can also go in the opposite direction.
   [17:25] Begonia Rainforest: of course i keep forgetting that the outcome is up to the player and not the AI
   [17:25] Raylon Loordes: that is the definition of powergaming and not done

   [17:26] Raylon Loordes: Mateem is right...to play all weak can't do anything everything hurts them is a form of powergaming to..believe it or not it is a attention hog form of rp..taking the spotlight off of someone else and putting it on you

   [17:26] Mateem Batistuta: For example, someone taps you on the shoulder, and you fall to the floor, screaming in agony saying they broke your arm.
   [17:27] Malena Mactavish: wow
   [17:27] Raylon Loordes: right begonia ..... this is all your rp...anyone who is rping has thier own story to tell....a direction that they want it to go..listen take a part...you never know when someone else's rp may spring a whole new direction of your own
   [17:27] Mateem Batistuta: It may sound rediculous, but I've seen it happen before.
   [17:27] Begonia Rainforest: yes i keep forgetting we are writing the story
   [17:27] Rogan Thor: I am guilty of that last form... but only did it a few times... is there a difference between that and helping there be some action in the sim ?
   [17:28] Raylon Loordes: it willtake some practice...but trust me it can be adicting and it is great excersise for your mind
   [17:28] Raylon Loordes: there are ways to do it Rogan...hell i'm actually screamed in pain because I did something stupid
   [17:29] Catt Catiria: There are a lot of rules and even though I've read through them, I can't remember them all

   [17:29] Raylon Loordes: thing is to make is plausible to make it real and to have fun...just do not try to take over someone's rp doing it.....or to do things habitually...now say you rped someone that has brittle bone disease...yeah the touch and break would work..but remember when you get mad and are in a fight the samething goes...you can't play a powerful jerk your bones will break
   [17:29] Rogan Thor: same here.... I went to the edge of a volcano and was overcome by fumes .... it did make for interesting game play....
   [17:30] Raylon Loordes: catt...the thing to remember is it all takes time and most people here are very understanding...yes it can be overwhelming but after rping with common sense for a little while they will become second nature
   [17:30] Catt Catiria: It just sucks to get called out on something that you did when you didn't mean anything by it
   [17:31] Raylon Loordes: it does but catt...remember....it is best to be told in a friendly IM that something was wrong that way it can be corrected for next time...noone will try to make you feel bad or stupid only to enhance and further your rp by pointing out
   [17:31] Raylon Loordes: most of the time when people break a rule..they never even realized they were doing it
   [17:31] Raylon Loordes: we are all here to not only rp for ourselves but to help others develop and have fun
   [17:31] Begonia agrees with Raylon.
   [17:32] Raylon Loordes: any questions so far?
   [17:32] Malena Mactavish: not for now, thank you.
   [17:33] Catt Catiria: I'm good, at this very second.;)
   [17:33] Raylon Loordes: ok everyone take a break use the bathroom or what have you I need to step away for just a couiple of minutes
   [17:34] bungocreek Janus: hello hello
   [17:34] Malena Mactavish: Where is the bathroom, please?

   [17:34] Malena Mactavish: Hello bungocreek
   [17:34] Malena Mactavish: ok that was a joke
   [17:34] Mateem Batistuta: Heya bungo
   [17:35] Begonia thought it was very funny Malena
   [17:35] bungocreek Janus: hehehe Hiya Malena ..
   [17:35] Malena Mactavish: lol Thank you!
   [17:35] Zon Millar: o we have to rp that too, I mean when we go to the bathroom? ;)
   [17:35] Zon Millar: Do*
   [17:35] Malena Mactavish: I am shy so that's the way I break my ice.
   [17:35] Mateem Batistuta: Only if you wanna *grins*
   [17:36] Catt Catiria: lol i wanna hear that rp lol
   [17:36] bungocreek Janus: yeah it is easy here ... just going in an alley ..
   [17:36] Malena Mactavish: eww
   [17:36] Malena Mactavish: :o
   [17:36] Mateem Batistuta: Or in certain player's cases.... everywhere.
   [17:36] Begonia thought she could smell something in that dark alleyway.
   [17:36] bungocreek Janus: dont wear your good shoes ..
   [17:36] Malena Mactavish: I will splash all over my shoes
   [17:36] Malena Mactavish: ahha Bungo lol
   [17:37] Raylon Loordes: back all and hello bungo
   [17:37] Malena Mactavish: Welcome back, Raylon
   [17:38] bungocreek Janus: Hiya Ray ... wb
   [17:38] Raylon Loordes: thank you very much

   [17:38] Raylon Loordes: ok...now that things are back on a roll....who can tell me what a think statement IE dead rp is?
   [17:39] ThunderWoman Lowbeam is Offline
   [17:39] Begonia Rainforest: que?
   [17:39] Malena Mactavish: A thought?
   [17:39] Catt Catiria: That's what I just got busted on
   [17:39] Raylon Loordes: oklet me explain first
   [17:39] Castor Serpente: It's when you post something you are thinking, as if others could hear you think. Not good rp. But we can express what we'er thinking thru behaviour and gestures,
   [17:39] Raylon Loordes: a think statement or dead rp...is a line or paragraph purely of thought that gives nothing for the other player to react to
   [17:40] Raylon Loordes: very good castors
   [17:40] Castor Serpente: ty
   [17:40] Begonia Rainforest: aaah 'dead rp', good term
   [17:40] Kiralette Kelley thinks she might've known that.... but forgot it at some point
   [17:40] Raylon Loordes: I said in the beginning and I say it again now to inphasize.....you are a player an actor on a screen...the difference is you are not with a script and here you need to describe your looks in your eyes...smells..gestures...tones in your voice
   [17:41] Raylon Loordes: example
   [17:41] Malena Mactavish thinks that nobody noticed her new boots
   [17:41] Raylon Loordes: *thinks to himself that there are better ways to spend an evening*
   [17:41] bungocreek Janus: checks his armpits ...
   [17:41] Raylon Loordes: exactly malena
   [17:42] Mateem Batistuta: *sits on bungo's lap*
   [17:42] Malena Mactavish: I see what you mean
   [17:42] Raylon Loordes: *looks at bungo with an eyebrow raised * Did you forget your Old Spice tonight?
   [17:42] bungocreek Janus: nice doggie ..
   [17:42] Raylon Loordes: the better way to do the post I did is....
   [17:42] Malena Mactavish: Excuse me, what Bungo just said, that was dead rp?
   [17:42] bungocreek Janus: *grins then nods*
   [17:42] Raylon Loordes: *looks around the room rolling his eyes and sighing in disdain at the chore ahead*
   [17:43] Raylon Loordes: bungo said "Nice Doggie" you can respond to that
   [17:43] Malena Mactavish: I think was giving the option to uderstand a lot of things... not shower, anxious state, etc
   [17:43] Malena Mactavish: *understand even
   [17:44] Raylon Loordes: ok.....I am going to give a dead rp...a think statement....I am going to go around the room and ask each one to give me a correct way to post it
   [17:44] Begonia Rainforest: rather than 'dead rp' it's more like 'failing fast'?
   [17:44] Raylon Loordes: it is only called dead rp becuase well..it's dead there is no direction to take it unless you metagame the thought
   [17:45] Mateem Batistuta: *whaps at Bungo's face with his tail and gives him an affronted look*
   [17:45] Raylon Loordes: *stays silent as he thinks to himself the weather in the city was bleak and the people were bleaker*
   [17:45] Raylon Loordes: first up just because he is there...bungo
   [17:45] bungocreek Janus: it is not always easy to avoid .... we all want ppl to know what our characters are thinking .... but it makes it even harder for the other player * .. streches Mattie's back *
   [17:46] Mateem Batistuta: *lays down, looking to be appeared for the moment*
   [17:47] bungocreek Janus: the keys is to give other player(s) something to respond to .... it keeps the scence flowing ....

   [17:48] Raylon Loordes: *waits for bungo to do just that* bungo you would be first..please retype my post to be a non think statement...a non dead rp
   [17:48] Raylon Loordes: *stays silent as he thinks to himself the weather in the city was bleak and the people were bleaker*

   [17:48] bungocreek Janus: sure ...
   [17:49] Mateem Batistuta: *hops off his lap as he seems to be a bit of a distraction...*
   [17:49] LaRPS Meter v0.25: ((Mateem Batistuta's meter has been detached.))
   [17:50] bungocreek Janus: looks at the gray face at the people in the crowd .. pull his jacket tight around himself looking Raylon in the eyes says ... " 'leedy 'hell col'er 'hen a wi'ches tits tonight"
   [17:50] bungocreek Janus: sorry ..
   [17:50] Catt Catiria: lol
   [17:50] bungocreek Janus: the gray faces on the people***
   [17:50] Raylon Loordes: *chuckles* very good bungo
   [17:50] Raylon Loordes: alright matty...different post
   [17:51] Raylon Loordes: *thinks the lap he was in was warmer and more comfortable then the chair he is in now*

   [17:52] bungocreek Janus: hiya Trix
   [17:52] Rogan Thor: sorry wireless hell..
   [17:52] Mateem Batistuta mushed the material under his paws with a longing look at the lap he just vacated, before he curled in on himself with a disatisfied huff.
   [17:53] Raylon Loordes: lol very good matty
   [17:53] bungocreek Janus: nice post ...
   [17:53] Malena Mactavish: :)
   [17:53] Raylon Loordes: ok castor....your post
   [17:53] Mateem Batistuta: Ty ty hehe
   [17:53] Raylon Loordes: *thinks to himself that the suit he is wearing was far to stuffy for the full room*

   [17:54] Kiralette Kelley: ((please excuse me, RL is screaming around me, I'll be back asap))
   [17:55] Malena Mactavish: Ok Kiralette :)
   [17:55] bungocreek Janus: take your time hon
   [17:55] Castor appears to be examining the clothing everyone else is wearing. He looks forlornely at his own, and mumbles to himself. "Far too stuffy."
   [17:55] Catt Catiria: I like that one
   [17:55] bungocreek Janus: nice
   [17:55] Raylon Loordes: good castor very good
   [17:55] Raylon Loordes: catt....your post
   [17:56] Raylon Loordes: *feet aching toes pinched she thought to herself her shoes may look nice but the price for beauty was hell*
   [17:56] Malena Mactavish: hehe

   [17:57] Catt Reaches down, removes her shoe and throws it on the ground, She then sits down and caresses her foot, turns to the shoe, "Damn shoe, You were expensive!"

   [17:58] bungocreek Janus: hehe... nice post
   [17:58] Raylon Loordes: lol
   [17:58] Raylon Loordes: very nicely done
   [17:58] Malena Mactavish: that always happens lol
   [17:58] Catt Catiria: ty
   [17:58] Raylon Loordes: ok zon your turn
   [17:58] Malena Mactavish: nice :)
   [17:58] Raylon Loordes: *sat the bases if his wings cutting into the chair thinking to himself the maker had to be biased for his type*

   [18:00] Begonia hopes the class finishes before it's her turn.

   [18:02] Rogan Thor: He looks around as having only recently returned from his mediational state... his eyes begin to focus on what was occuring with the group...unsure of what the topic of discussion was he sits breathing calmly and listens... noting the people fidgeting with there postures. He himself felt the large pillow under him was indeed plush given his long history of travel on dirt highways and the occasional rest under the starry skies.
   [18:02] Malena Mactavish: OMG
   [18:02] Raylon Loordes: it gives people things to focus on...good post zon
   [18:02] Catt Catiria: OMG that was hot!!!!
   [18:03] Raylon Loordes: kiralette is not back yet I dont think so on to begonia
   [18:03] Zon: "e tries to seat comfortable but his wings are too big, then he stands up and try to close them before seating again."
   [18:03] Raylon Loordes: lol
   [18:03] Kiralette Kelley: sorry, I'm back
   [18:03] Catt Catiria: That's it bye guys, I'm leaving with him...points to zon
   [18:03] Catt Catiria: lol
   [18:03] Malena Mactavish: Welcome back, Kiralette
   [18:04] Raylon Loordes: very good wb kiralette
   [18:04] Raylon Loordes: begonia *thought to herself that the styles for the times was highly constricting as she sat in the chair*
   [18:07] Begonia was seen to fidget in the chair, and although attempting to not be noticed, was seen to try to surrepticiously adjust the tightness of her garments.
   [18:07] Raylon Loordes: very good begonia

   [18:08] Raylon Loordes: Kiralette are you ready?

   [18:09] Kiralette Kelley: yes
   [18:09] Kiralette Kelley: as ready as I'll ever be
   [18:09] Raylon Loordes: hehe ok
   [18:09] Raylon Loordes: *wondered about the background of everyone seeing as to her she was the only one of oriental decent*
   [18:11] Kiralette Kelley looks around, obviously studying each person as her eyes float over them. She seems almost to disappear into her seat while fidgeting with the long sleeves of her kimono before saying softly, "I hope that London will not feel so strange to me once I get to know it a bit better."
   [18:11] Raylon Loordes: absolutely wonderful kiralette
   [18:12] Catt Catiria: Great!!!
   [18:12] Raylon Loordes: ok malena
   [18:12] Malena Mactavish: Nice :)
   [18:12] Malena Mactavish points to guy beside her... and he?

   [18:13] Raylon Loordes: I am going to get him after you
   [18:13] Raylon Loordes: *wondered if her breasts would indeed fall out of her top once she tried to get out of the chair she was in*
   [18:13] Malena Mactavish: ok
   [18:14] Rogan Thor: grins
   [18:16] Malena Mactavish listens the people around talking while suddenly her gaze get stucked on her laced top, noticing the lace was off. Blushing like a tomato looks around the room discretely and tries to lace it again mumbling... *damn silky laces * smiles
   [18:16] Raylon Loordes: HAHAHA WONDERFUL!
   [18:16] Raylon Loordes: was wondering how you were going to do that...kudos...that was great
   [18:16] Catt Catiria: I like that one
   [18:16] Raylon Loordes: ok rogan...
   [18:16] Raylon Loordes: *wondered to himself why was it everyone else could sit the same yet when he sat in the chair he couldn't bring himself mirror thier look*
   [18:17] Malena Mactavish: thank you lol
   [18:20] Rogan Thor: His eyes travel from on person to the next in the group as his mind begins to understand the lesson being taught. He knew his turn would soon arrive and straighted in his chair to look "proper" instead of his usual slouch. He did not want them to thing he was the backwards country bumkin that he felt inside. He leans forward intent on the instructors words.
   [18:20] Raylon Loordes: very good rogan...very good
