[6:58] Summer Paulino: Tamryn? will there other of these?
[6:58] Karaden Finesmith: Good Morning, Miss tamryn, my dear! Helo
everyone!
[6:59] Allan Eizenhart: hello everyone
[6:59] Tamryn Khandr: Each class may differ...depending on who is
teaching
[6:59] Allan Eizenhart: thank you for the tp!
[6:59] Tamryn Khandr: hi Allen
[6:59] Tamryn Khandr: sure
[6:59] Summer Paulino: ahhh okay
[6:59] Aurora Kitalpha: Hello Karaden
[6:59] Cole Winsmore: Hello
[6:59] Tamryn Khandr: allen sit if yu would like
[6:59] Summer Paulino grumbles about kids needing their own cars and
heads out "see you all later!"
[6:59] Tamryn Khandr: ok
[6:59] Allan Eizenhart: thank you
[7:00] Cole Winsmore: it's great to have these classes at european
times too
[7:00] Allan Eizenhart: my thought exactly :)
[7:00] Tamryn Khandr: good
[7:01] Tamryn Khandr: I am Tam. I am one of the SP's we have
available to aid you when needed. A SP stands for Senior Player.
[7:03] Tamryn Khandr: I am going to go briefly over the General
information.....then ask if you haev any quesitons about it...ok
[7:03] Aurora Kitalpha: ok
[7:03] Karaden Finesmith nods, smiling
[7:03] Tamryn Khandr: • The "game zone" is considered to be in the
following areas:
▫ 0m to 500m: This is the main "In Character" Role Play area.
Challenge rules apply.
▫ 500m to 1000m: This is also "In Character" but for Combat. No
Challenge Rules apply here.
▫ 1000m and above is considered OOC only.
▫ Going above 2000m is not allowed.
[7:04] Tamryn Khandr: SPs handle all rental information. You MUST be
an active RPer and Citizen in Legacies to rent here.• There is no AFK rule here. You may AFK to your hearts content. Even
with an active meter.• We do not acknowledge "roleplay limits". All acts of a sexual or
questionable nature MUST be consentual (TOS Compliant). It is YOUR
responsibility to gain and record consent.• Players MUST be 14 days old before RPing in Legacies.
•
[7:04] Tamryn Khandr: Do you have any questions about this
information?
[7:05] Cole Winsmore shakes his head
[7:05] Tamryn Khandr: ok
[7:05] Allan Eizenhart: Excuse me, Tam
[7:05] Tamryn Khandr: yes, Allen?
[7:05] Allan Eizenhart: If players need to be 14 or above
[7:05] Allan Eizenhart: how come this is an adult sim?
[7:05] Allan Eizenhart: oh nevermind that!
[7:06] Allan Eizenhart: thats 14 DAYS
[7:06] Tamryn Khandr: 14 days old in SL
[7:06] Allan Eizenhart: please continue :))
[7:06] Aurora Kitalpha giggles
[7:06] Tamryn Khandr: ok
[7:06] Allan Eizenhart: heheh
[7:06] Tamryn Khandr: is ok
[7:06] Tamryn Khandr: I know this is a lot to take in...which is why
having this class...
[7:07] Galen Pau: ((Galen Pau has teleported in.))[7:07] Karaden Finesmith: Correct me if I am mistaken, but isn't the
14 day rule 1. to prevent players from creating alt accounts to affect
roleplay and/or 2. to give actual SL newcomers a chance to familiarise
themselves with SecondLife for a while before comong to this, and
established and advanced roleplay sim?
[7:07] Tamryn Khandr: ok we will go over general rules...then we can
ask more questions
[7:07] Tamryn Khandr: Both those are correct Karaden
[7:08] Tamryn Khandr: 1. NO OOC DRAMA.[7:08] Tamryn Khandr: What do you think OOc drama is?
[7:08] Allan Eizenhart: Id like some more definition on that, please
[7:08] Tamryn Khandr: each of you answer if ou will
[7:09] Aurora Kitalpha: like taking things that happened ic into ooc
and complain about
[7:09] Tamryn Khandr: I will explain after I get your thoughts
[7:09] Tamryn Khandr: good aurora
[7:09] Cole Winsmore: hmm ... being rude to someone in IM after they
had a fight ICly
[7:10] Tamryn Khandr: yesh
[7:11] Tamryn Khandr: OOC Drama = when you as a person behind the
computer are upset..or worse at events that happen either in RP or in
SL and cause upheaval...and anger in others.
[7:12] Karaden Finesmith: Carrying grudges, tales, gossip, malicious
or aggressive comments in OOC conversations
[7:13] Tamryn Khandr: Look... we all take time to build plots and
creaet and evolve our characters.....we tend to rp intensely on this
sim....but remeber to take a step back..and realize this is a game.. a
recreational tool....if you find yourself getting to upset....about Ic
events..take a mental step back...and take a short break...get a
soda...close out rp and do soemthing else...
[7:14] Tamryn Khandr: then come back and have fun...
[7:14] Tamryn Khandr: 2. Do not violate SL ToS (Terms of Service and
Community Standards)
▫ No children, or child-like avatars. (Height is not the sole
determination, SP's err on the side of caution)
▫ No persons under the age of 18.
▫ Respect all players OOCly, whether or not you like ICly.
[7:15] Tamryn Khandr: Do any of you have any questions about what we
have already covered?
[7:15] Allan Eizenhart: Crystal clear
[7:15] Cole Winsmore: nope
[7:15] Galen Pau: No...and I am sorry I was a little late..
[7:15] Tamryn Khandr: it is ok
[7:16] Tamryn Khandr: 3. RP area is 1000m and below, however, there
is no "Challenge Rule" above 500m"4. You must abide by the era presented both in general technology and
clothing appearances. The year is 1891, Victorian England.
▫ All "time travelling" must be in reverse. Once you enter Legacies
to conduct your RPs, you are unable to travel forward in time. (hence,
no Automatic weapons for example)
[7:16] Tamryn Khandr: 5. No OOC of any sort in public local chat
below 1000 meters.
▫ OOC should be done in IMs.
▫ No use of "(( ))", "LOL", "BRB", party gestures (gestures in
general usually).
▫ The only OOC allowed is (OOB) meaning Out of Body. (OOB) = ten
minute break6. All home security, below 1000 meters, must be defeatable via dice
roll or LaRPs
[7:16] Tamryn Khandr: 7. Godmodding & Metagaming will not be
tolerated.
[7:17] Tamryn Khandr: Can you each tell me what godmoding is?
[7:18] Allan Eizenhart: When someone predefines the outcome of a
certain action via rp
[7:18] Aurora Kitalpha: Godmodding is telling how the other person
will react. Like I say I push Tam and she fall over. that is
godmodding
[7:18] Tamryn Khandr: good
[7:18] Tamryn Khandr: what word can be used to prevent actions from
being considered godmoding
[7:19] Cole Winsmore aims his cane at Aurora to attempt to hit her.
[7:19] Cole Winsmore: aim, pretent, attemp
[7:19] Galen Pau: a single word?
[7:19] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: tries
[7:19] Karaden Finesmith: Well... my character, Karaden is a
TimeLord... theoretically he could have all the knowledge and
technology to defeat any opponent... however, that would make him far
too powerful, and NO fun for others to RP with... so... the crash in
Legacies destroyed his technology, and he, himself has forgotten 95%
of what he once knew... he's a fallible, defeatable character. This
prevents the temptation to "win every time"
[7:20] Cole Winsmore: opps she crashed
[7:20] Allan Eizenhart: is it something we said? :)
[7:20] Cole Winsmore: ^^
[7:21] Karaden Finesmith: I don't think so... her computer god-moded
*her!*
[7:21] Allan Eizenhart: LOL!
[7:21] Aurora Kitalpha: maybe I pushed her to much
[7:21] Aurora Kitalpha: :P
[7:24] Karaden Finesmith: Actually, another excellent example of god-
moding happened to me in another sim... one of my characters
contracted a fatal illness. I was planning an elaborate roleplay
around her search for herbs to cure her illness, how she would cope
with the possibility o dying, telling her friends, etc... as soon as I
told another player about it, IC, the other person RP'd whipping out a
"magic crystal" and *healed* my character completely. Ending RP and an
entire storyline in two sentences...
[7:25] Karaden Finesmith: So yes, roleplaying any vastly superior
power is bad, even if it's "benevolent"...
[7:25] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: lolol
[7:25] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: gotta love the magic crystal
[7:25] Karaden Finesmith: Yeah.
[7:25] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: I rp healer in another sim and I -
never- do that..everythins is an attempt to heal..its up to the char
and negotiated in IMs
[7:26] Karaden Finesmith: Yes. The sensible way to do it.
[7:26] Karaden Finesmith: Meta-gaming is another example of harmful
roleplay.
[7:26] Aurora Kitalpha: I am an sim official in another role play and
have to deal with it every single day. Godmod and metagaming is a
everyday business
[7:27] Karaden Finesmith nods
[7:27] Galen Pau: but basically predicting anyones reactions...is God
Modeing correct?
[7:27] Karaden Finesmith: What other ecamples of meta-gaming are out
there?
[7:28] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: reading tags
[7:28] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: mapping
[7:28] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: lolol which im sorry..im guilty of
both at times -.-
[7:28] Karaden Finesmith: Well, if you predict another person's
actions IC... and how you do it... CAN be good RP
[7:29] Karaden Finesmith: If your character hears another
character... IC and within hearing range naturlaly, plan to kill
someone, you can state, IC "I ned to warn them" and go and do it...
but it all has to occur within the context of the scene
[7:29] Galen Pau: predicting a action is different...that is not the
same as telling them what they are going to do..
[7:29] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: ah SL is having database issues..i
doubt they can get back right away..that my be the delay im guessing.
[7:30] Karaden Finesmith: Reading tagds and mapping... yeah. I'm
visually impaired, so actually reading tags is essential to me to know
who y'all ARE... however, I must NEVER use that information IC... so
it is more didfficult.
[7:30] Karaden Finesmith: Mapping, is an iffy area... I use the mini
screen sometimes when asked to "follow me" by another character, again
because of sight limitations.. however, the IC/OOC line has to be
observed.
[7:31] Cole Winsmore: or reading the profile and saying 'hey I'm an
vampire too ... how was is it in your hometown england' that are ooc
information, you have find out in character
[7:31] Karaden Finesmith: For sighted people, yes, it's cheating. and
I tell peoople I do it in order to *avoid* that pitfall... I want
people to have their eye on me. :D
[7:31] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: or when someone i enjoy rp with is
on ill im see whats happened if they are busy and use map to meet up
XD
[7:31] Allan Eizenhart: what if your character is a telepath then? :P
[7:31] Allan Eizenhart: not that I am
[7:31] Karaden Finesmith: I can help out by continuing the class for
her.
[7:32] Karaden Finesmith: When she gets back I'll notecard it so whe
has a record.
[7:32] Allan Eizenhart: that sounds good to me
[7:32] Karaden Finesmith: Metagaming, yes is "going outside the game"
and using OOC knowledge to influence IC events.
[7:33] Karaden Finesmith: You've heard about the Challenge rule"...
who can give me an example of the Challenge Rule?"
[7:34] Galen Pau: I just got a message from someone telling me to
pass on to you that Tamryn has crashed and is not able to get back
on..
[7:35] Galen Pau: I will take down everyones name and speak with her
when she gets back...
[7:35] Karaden Finesmith: Ah... tell her I am taking the class and
will give the XP afterward... she can return when SL lets her. and
thank her for her time. and thank you! :)
[7:36] Karaden Finesmith: The Challenge Rule is simply this: Before
you RP an action which will affect another character, such as an
attack, a pickpocket, etc... you *must* preface the action with two
lines of IC dialogue indicating your attempt.
[7:37] Aurora Kitalpha: do you need everytime an sp for that?
[7:37] Karaden Finesmith: You do not have to telegraph what you want
to do, if it is like pickpocketing, instead you might say "JOhn sidles
up behind the lady in the plaid dress. His eyes on the fabric of her
purse as he readies his razor.
[7:38] Karaden Finesmith: After you RP the action you and the other
player can agree to a dice roll if you both like.
[7:39] Karaden Finesmith: Any action that has an "iffy" or variable
outcome, such as shoplifting, or attempting to push someone into the
water, usually requires a dice roll to determine the effectiveness of
the action and the effect on the other player or the environment
[7:39] Karaden Finesmith: A senior Player is always required for dice
rolls.
[7:40] Karaden Finesmith: To do a dice roll, you get to the point
where you and the other(s) agree a roll is needed. You notecard the
roleplay leading UP to the roll and then, in OOC chat, you call for an
SP. A simple "We need an sP at the cafe for a dice roll" is all that's
needed.
[7:41] Tamryn Khandr: Hi...thank you..and I am sorry...SL kicked me
then would not let me back in
[7:41] Aurora Kitalpha: WB Tam
[7:42] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: Welcome Back, figured as much
[7:42] Allan Eizenhart: welcome back, Tam
[7:42] Karaden Finesmith: Once the senior player arrives, it is up to
you, the roleplayers, to do a "conference call" so that everyone is in
a communal call and you can discuss what is happening
[7:42] Tamryn Khandr: Thank you Karaden..please continue
[7:42] Karaden Finesmith: The SP will ask for the notecard and they
will ask the roleplayers what is hoped to be accomplished.
[7:42] Karaden Finesmith: Ah! Tam... when I finish the dice rolls
explanation I'll give the class back. You can award points.
[7:42] LaRPS Meter v0.24: ((Anya Hammill has teleported in.))
[7:43] Karaden Finesmith: Once the SP knows the RP in progress, and
what is hoped for or expected, they will ask the players, in turn, to
RP and roll, or roll and RP each action, to guide the roleplay through
the roll.[7:46] Karaden Finesmith: As you progress through the roll, everyone
takes turns and the RP goes to its conclusion. Once that occurs, the
SP will ask a player to notecard it for them, and they will share that
with other SPs to ensure that everything was fair and all players were
satisfied with the results.
[7:46] Karaden Finesmith: I shall now turn you all back over to the
tender mercies of our dear Miss Tamryn! :D
[7:46] Tamryn Khandr: lol...and thank you
[7:46] Tamryn Khandr: Do you haev any questions on dice roll?
[7:47] Allan Eizenhart: I do
[7:47] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: Thank you Karaden and Ive no
questions, no.
[7:47] Aurora Kitalpha: I must say the dice roll is the best thing to
solve a fight or match. I never thought it would be that easy and
smoothy with the dice. Its less stressful and avoids powerplay.
[7:47] Aurora Kitalpha: and no no questions
[7:47] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: Dice roll is the best, i agree.
[7:47] Allan Eizenhart: Although Aurora clarified it a bit already :)
[7:48] Tamryn Khandr accepted your inventory offer.
[7:48] Allan Eizenhart: Could you clarify once again, what are the
situations that a dice roll is needed?
[7:48] Allan Eizenhart: in a few simple words
[7:49] Tamryn Khandr: Let me just mention a couple things-- in a dice
roll event...you may be asked to wait until other things uunfold or
another person goes...but you as the character need to imagine these
things happening all at once
[7:49] Tamryn Khandr: yes.....For RP combat...for all Spells not in
the meter....for any time you wish randomness in your rp....
Destruction...and B&E
[7:50] Allan Eizenhart: I see
[7:50] Tamryn Khandr: Any questions abou these...
[7:51] Karaden Finesmith: Yes... you might not need a dice roll to
short sheet TriJin's bed... but you *will* need to amp up your armor,
ferocity and endurance levels! LOL
[7:51] Tamryn Khandr: ok...does anyone know where the dice roll menu
is at?
[7:51] Tamryn Khandr: lol karaden
[7:51] Tamryn Khandr: everyione click on a d100
[7:52] Aurora Kitalpha: ((Aurora Kitalpha rolls a d100. Result is
38))
[7:52] Karaden Finesmith: ((Karaden Finesmith rolls a d100. Result is
26))
[7:52] Anya: ((Anya Hammill rolls a d100. Result is 99))
[7:52] Cole Winsmore: ((Cole Winsmore rolls a d100. Result is 39))
[7:52] Koishii: ((QueenoftheVile Amaterasu rolls a d100. Result is
92))
[7:52] Karaden Finesmith: Ooh and the dice do not love me today! O_O
[7:52] Tamryn Khandr: wow anya...and great everyone
[7:52] Tamryn Khandr: ok
[7:52] Anya Hammill: haha
[7:53] Allan Eizenhart: where is d100 located?
7:53] Allan Eizenhart: Im wearing both the hud and meter
[7:53] Tamryn Khandr: click on the meter hud
[7:53] Tamryn Khandr: a menu will come down
[7:53] Cole Winsmore: click your meter and a menu pops up
[7:53] Allan Eizenhart: ((Allan Eizenhart rolls a d100. Result is
99))
[7:53] Allan Eizenhart: ok, thank you :)
[7:53] Cole Winsmore: O.O
[7:53] Karaden Finesmith: Huzzah! :D
[7:53] Allan Eizenhart: was that a good one?
[7:53] Tamryn Khandr: very good..wow you will ask yourself..where are
those rolls when you need them
[7:53] Tamryn Khandr: yesh
[7:53] Allan Eizenhart: lol
[7:54] Allan Eizenhart: beginer's luck, I suppose!
[7:54] Anya Hammill: oooh, we tied?
[7:54] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: lol
[7:54] Tamryn Khandr: ok
[7:54] Karaden Finesmith sets his measly 26 dice roll result in a
cardboard with a sign "Free dice roll result. Free to good home" on
the street corner and walks away trying to look as if he's not
connected with it.
[7:55] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: lolol
[7:55] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: very quotable
[7:56] Tamryn Khandr: Now Character developement=== I would advise
that each of you take time to create a basic character backstory for
your character....it helps you 1. Define the character in your mind 2.
Aid you in creating ongoing plots to help your character evolve 3.
Helps you define its personality/emotions/ and alignment
[7:56] Tamryn Khandr: All thses thing help you enhance your rp
[7:57] Tamryn Khandr: Each of you please answer: What are some things
that can change the alignment or demeanor fo your character..each of
you please list just two
[7:59] Cole Winsmore: where my char comes from, what my char has
already done
[7:59] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: Enemies, lovers, environment
[8:00] Allan Eizenhart: actions and decisions?
[8:00] Aurora Kitalpha: how my char reacts to someone or something.
what likings my char has
[8:00] Tamryn Khandr: Great.
[8:01] Tamryn Khandr: All these things can be true....let us not
forget..attacks....death...conversion to another race..such as
vampireism..or lycanism
[8:02] Tamryn Khandr: Be sure to impliment the changes that rp does
to your character...
[8:02] Karaden Finesmith: Other RPers actions. Karaden was briefly
turned into an evil character by being vampirized by another
character. it took an incredible RP to "kill" the evil part and
restore him to "good".
[8:02] Tamryn Khandr: Right
8:02] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: sounds like a good time rping that
[8:03] Tamryn Khandr: EVeyone please look at Galen.....describe
him...each of you point out one thing
[8:03] Karaden Finesmith: It was an incredible RP and everyone got
serious XP for participating in it. :D
[8:03] Tamryn Khandr: visual things...
[8:03] Aurora Kitalpha: he has blond hair
[8:03] Tamryn Khandr: ok
[8:04] Karaden Finesmith: by his manner of dress, a bit of a dandy,
likes the finer things and very neatly turned out.
[8:04] Anya Hammill: lean muscular chap
[8:05] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: Scars/fresh wounds?
[8:05] Allan Eizenhart: and he definitely had a recent fight!
[8:05] Cole Winsmore: scratch over the right eye
[8:05] Tamryn Khandr: very good
[8:06] Karaden Finesmith: Ah! True!! There, IRL I'm fairly
nearsighted sdo I missed that until it was mentioned and I cammed in
for a closer look. :D
[8:06] Tamryn Khandr: Everyone who made a effort to create a av and
clothing for this sim say Aye
[8:06] Cole Winsmore raises hand
[8:06] Anya Hammill: Aye
[8:06] Karaden Finesmith: Aye, indeed! :D
[8:06] Cole Winsmore: Aye
[8:06] Tamryn Khandr: Right
[8:06] Aurora Kitalpha: Aye
[8:07] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: aye
[8:08] Tamryn Khandr: So my point right??!! take time to rp noticing
the characters you ar interacting with...if they have scars..if ther
are changes in their eyes..in their clothing..this could represnt a
change in their rp plot..that might effect yours or that you may wish
to involve yourself
[8:08] Tamryn Khandr: Example:
[8:09] Tamryn Khandr looks at Galen and while she does not know him
well...is slightly startled to see he has fresh wounds...she did not
think he was the type to fight....she asks him quietly: "Are you
ok...you appear wounded"
[8:10] Tamryn Khandr: What else should you add to your rp from time
to time to enhance the plot?
[8:10] Karaden Finesmith: Oregano.
[8:11] Tamryn Khandr: well if you are a cook...sure
[8:11] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: lol
[8:11] Aurora Kitalpha: how you feel. like if you feel ill or so that
yo canadd
[8:11] Aurora Kitalpha: can add*
[8:11] Tamryn Khandr: yesh
[8:11] Karaden Finesmith: Sorry... couldn't resisit... Actually, you
can RP changes your character is experiencing. Karaden, at the moment,
is losing his sight... hence the thick strange looking glasseshe's
wearing.
[8:12] Tamryn Khandr: yesh
[8:12] Tamryn Khandr: also the enviroment..this place is filled with
sights..with sounds...
[8:12] Tamryn Khandr: but attempt to write it so others can respond
[8:12] Karaden Finesmith: YOu can also add details with your titler.
Mine says "absent minded" right now. I could change that at any time I
like
[8:12] Tamryn Khandr: example
[8:13] Galen Pau: (sorry I am back..)
[8:13] Tamryn Khandr awakens startled...she hears the ghastly sounds
of the dead....
[8:14] Aurora Kitalpha: or like this ^^
[8:14] Aurora Kitalpha looks around and notices the wonderful the
window glasses. She smiles to herself and sais in a low voice
"Wonderful .. realy wonderful."
[8:14] Tamryn Khandr: yesh
[8:14] Galen Pau: if you had been in a fight..put black eye...or
broken arm...etc
[8:14] Tamryn Khandr: galen is ok we used you as a example
[8:14] Karaden Finesmith: YOu can put details in there that
characters would notice, such as "Breathes with difficulty" or "limps
on his left leg"... things that *would* be noticed in an encounter
with the character, but that our computers don't register to us.
[8:14] Tamryn Khandr: right
[8:14] Tamryn Khandr: ok
[8:15] Galen Pau: andyes Tamryn..use me....please use me...winks
[8:15] Tamryn Khandr: also keep in mind....you may wish to break up
paragraphs... so that those around you can respond more
readily...Already did Galen
[8:15] Tamryn Khandr: lol
[8:16] Tamryn Khandr: do any of yu haev any questions...about this
[8:16] Allan Eizenhart: I have, if I may
[8:16] Tamryn Khandr: sure
[8:16] Pearl Swansong is Online
[8:16] Allan Eizenhart: Its about the way Im comfortable rping
[8:16] Tamryn Khandr: ask
[8:16] Allan Eizenhart: I am very new to Legacies and havent actually
rped yet
[8:16] Tamryn Khandr: ok
[8:17] Allan Eizenhart: but have observed a lot
[8:17] Karaden Finesmith: An excellent start!
[8:17] Allan Eizenhart: Ive notived that a great part of the rp
consists in description of actions or thoughts
[8:17] Allan Eizenhart: noticed*
[8:17] Tamryn Khandr: yesh
[8:17] Allan Eizenhart: for example, "Allan does that, Tamryn thinks
that, etc"
[8:18] Tamryn Khandr: right
[8:18] Allan Eizenhart: I understand the necessity but it doesn
really come very natural to me
[8:18] Tamryn Khandr: ok
[8:18] Karaden Finesmith: It is a great deal like telling a story...
cooperatively. Just as actions are described in a book, they are
onscreen as well.
[8:18] Allan Eizenhart: on the other hand, I love discussing and
dialoguing
[8:19] Allan Eizenhart: Is it considered wrong, to rp in Legacies
using mostly diologues as a means of communication?
[8:19] Allan Eizenhart: or is it frowned upon?
[8:19] Aurora Kitalpha: you describe it here in rp because you can
see it. in rl you would notice if someone is in thougths or something
but not in sl... thats why you discribe it
[8:19] Allan Eizenhart: yes
[8:19] Tamryn Khandr: take it slow...1. Relax...and rp YOur character
as you envision them. 2. Be patient to those who are new....and allow
them to find their way. 3. Involve people around you...even if you do
not know them
[8:19] Galen Pau: I know I never type that I am walking across the
room....My avitars does that...not need to say it...but if I am
limping...I will ad dthat discription.
[8:19] Tamryn Khandr: please give me a example Allen
[8:19] Allan Eizenhart: ok
[8:19] Allan Eizenhart: here goes
[8:20] Karaden Finesmith: Well, you might use dialogue to frame
actions such as entering a room "Is this seat taken?" "Ah, thank
you... I shall make myself comfortable." instead of "Allen enters and
sits down"
[8:20] Allan Eizenhart: great Karaden, my point exaclty
[8:20] Allan Eizenhart: lets say I meet Galen for the 1st time and
try to talk to him
[8:20] Tamryn Khandr: ok
[8:21] Allan Eizenhart: I could say "Allan notices Galens scars and
supposes that... etc"
[8:21] Allan Eizenhart: well, I d rather say: "I noticed you have
some scars, how did you get them?"
[8:21] Pearl Swansong is Online
[8:21] Tamryn Khandr: well yuo can do that..but also do a action or
say something that someone around you may note or respond to
[8:21] Tamryn Khandr: then do it
[8:22] Allan Eizenhart: so the point is to involve as many players as
possible?
[8:22] Tamryn Khandr: Yes,,you can walk up to people and do that..but
remeber..they may respond negactive
[8:22] Allan Eizenhart: doesnt local chat do that as well?
[8:22] Allan Eizenhart: of course
[8:22] Tamryn Khandr: I mean like this
[8:23] Karaden Finesmith: An excellent example! Everyone has their
own personal RP style, or will develop one while here. That's the
beauty and joy of it... intermingling styles in a cooperative effort!
[8:23] Aurora Kitalpha: my problem is ... I dont have the heart to
walk to people. I dont know why it is so
[8:23] Angela Carling is Online
[8:23] Allan Eizenhart: I love walking to people!
[8:23] Allan Eizenhart: whats the point of rping without it?
[8:23] Aurora Kitalpha: yes I now its sillly fro my
[8:23] Aurora Kitalpha: me*
[8:23] Allan Eizenhart: (btw, Im very familiar with rl rpgs, just not
sl rpg yet)
[8:24] Tamryn Khandr walks through the street she note that there are
three gentlemen walking into ten bells ...she inclines her head
politely as she slowly walks by
[8:24] Tamryn Khandr: this gives you each a chance to respond or not
[8:24] Allan Eizenhart: I see
[8:24] Allan Eizenhart: nice example
[8:24] Tamryn Khandr: ok[8:25] Tamryn Khandr: please remeber to use /2 to speak and /2/me to
emote it gives you more exp..and lets you talk in your characters
voice
[8:25] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: Yeah thats more my style.an emot
first before just striking up dialogue. char is somewhat cautious.
[8:25] Tamryn Khandr: yesh
[8:25] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: emote*
[8:26] Tamryn Khandr: aslo everyone take a moment to do
this...everyone write a sentence using /22
[8:26] Karaden Finesmith: You can also use statements to give
information unstated, such as these greetings: "Well, hello there,
everyone! Splendid morning eh?" or "Hello. *sigh* I suppose everyone
will now ask me how my day went... go on, you want to and I suppose I
have to respond!"
[8:26] Karaden Finesmith: Tow VERY different moods, neither stated
explicitly
[8:26] Cole Winsmore: with emote or without Tam?
[8:26] Tamryn Khandr: just the /22
[8:27] Karaden Finesmith: ((in Angel)): ot reti see wre
[8:27] Karaden Finesmith: Ah yes! the translator

[8:27] Anya: ((in Common)): winks at Galen blowing him a kiss
[8:27] Cole Winsmore: different language
[8:27] Tamryn Khandr: yesh
[8:28] Tamryn Khandr: this may also enhance your rp
[8:28] Anya Hammill: what does that do? /22?
[8:28] watcher Castaignede is Online
[8:28] Anya Hammill: ah i see
[8:28] Tamryn Khandr: it allows you to speak in the language of your
race
[8:28] Tamryn Khandr: let me give you a example of how you may wish
to use it
[8:29] Tamryn Khandr looks around confused...what has happened to
her...she suddenly says...
[8:29] Tamryn Khandr: ((in Vampire)): sectr io vilots
[08:29] Tamryn Khandr: where am I?....
[8:30] Tamryn Khandr: or if you wish to speak in the open yet
privately to those of your race
[8:30] Aurora Kitalpha: so only the one of my race understand what I
say?
[8:31] Tamryn Khandr: right
[8:31] Tamryn Khandr: well you speak common...so well we all would

[8:34] Allan Eizenhart: Can I ask one?
[8:34] Tamryn Khandr: yesh
[8:34] Allan Eizenhart: What place would you suggest I should visit
as a freshman?
[8:34] Allan Eizenhart: Where should I rp first?
[8:35] Tamryn Khandr: I would suggest you take the carriage
ride...and rp out things you see...it wil help you gain a basic
knowledge of sim layout..and upon completion you get exp.
[8:35] Allan Eizenhart: thats sounds like fun, thank you :)
[8:35] Tamryn Khandr: Explore..each of you..and get to know the
places and choices you haev for rp
[8:36] Cole Winsmore: I did the ride today
[8:36] Karaden Finesmith nods "and also, ask yourself 'If I were in a
new city and country... where would I go?' and roleplay that... there
is a Hotel in Legacies where newcomers often stay. But you will have
to find it ICly. :)
[8:36] Tamryn Khandr: yesh...also maybe take a walk around the 5
sims..each one is different...
[8:36] Allan Eizenhart: did you enjoy it?
[8:36] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: Speaking of I did that carriage ride
[8:37] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: Can I hand that in to you Tamryn
[8:37] Karaden Finesmith: These sims are *packed* with things to do,
interact with, explore. As TriJin says "Click on EVERYTHING"
[8:37] Tamryn Khandr: yes..or you can hand it to watcher
downstairs...it would make her day
[8:37] Aurora Kitalpha: I did it too and it is great
[8:37] Tamryn Khandr: yesh
[8:37] QueenoftheVile Amaterasu: Alright I will do
[8:37] Aurora Kitalpha: but I had to log before I could call an sp so
maybe I need after class Tam
[8:37] Karaden Finesmith: Find the "very Heavy Box" or the Spider's
lair, see if you can find the Abyss or chase the fairy. The sims are
specifically designed for exploration.
[8:38] Tamryn Khandr: there are ways to gain more armour bonuses
[8:38] Tamryn Khandr: ok
[8:38] Tamryn Khandr: The abyss is closed for revamping...but should
be open soon
[8:38] Tamryn Khandr: ok
[8:38] Karaden Finesmith: Oooooh!

Timelord will stay safely in/under his bed! LOL
