(2 posts)-
ok gonna start the class and start by saying welcome
[11:05] The Shadow: hi
[11:06] Okori Inaka: \o/ Yay!
[11:06] Hellhound: \o/
[11:06] Lady Leigh Luv: for those that don't know my history here I have been a part of Legacies from the beginning off and on and permanatly brought my RP here 2 years ago, and asked to join the ST team about the same amount of time
[11:06] Lady Leigh Luv: I have been working on my RP for almost 4 years with this character and Legacies is a big part of it
[11:07] Lady Leigh Luv: as we all are aware we all have different levels of experience of RP and will say and not very unbiased....that I feel Legacies has the best community of RPers all geard to wanting to make a great story
[11:08] Hellhound: \o/ We are an awesome community!
[11:08] Lady Leigh Luv: one of the highest guidelines we follow is the respect of our fellow RPers
[11:09] Lady Leigh Luv: as Nimi said once. ICly I may stab you in the back but OOCly we are friends....at least I think that is how she put it
[11:09] Hellhound: lol
[11:09] Nimilanor Delvalle: something like that
[11:10] Lady Leigh Luv: asshat IC....respect OOC
[11:10] Lady Leigh Luv: smiles
[11:10] Nimilanor Delvalle: <3
[11:10] Hellhound: lol Did you just say asshat?
[11:10] Lady Leigh Luv: ya I did
[11:10] Hellhound: XD
[11:10] Lady Leigh Luv: well it sounds better than asshole now doesn't it? I mean really..laughs
[11:11] Hellhound: lmao Yes but more amusing too
[11:11] Nimilanor Delvalle: Mm.. my ass has a hat.
[11:11] Hellhound: peeks under nimi's hatt
[11:11] Hellhound: Nice ass
[11:11] Lady Leigh Luv: now one of the biggest things about respect and the use of the dice is everything is stated in attempts nothing can be that you actually do something
[11:12] Nimilanor Delvalle: *aims a spiked heel to hell's face, smiling innocently*
[11:12] Lady Leigh Luv: I mean nothing is more humiliating than to do this epic post that your character did something and then your dice fail
[11:12] Hellhound: hides behind okori and bribes him with more cheetos
[11:12] Lady Leigh Luv: greetings Zena have a seat we are just getting started
[11:12] Nimilanor Delvalle: fails happen though.. just like in real life. so always stay true to your rp. *coughs* sorry.
[11:13] Zena Mistwalker: ty was running late ;)
[11:13] The Shadow: :)
[11:13] Lady Leigh Luv: it happens
[11:13] Lady Leigh Luv: so lets talk abit about procedures
[11:13] Lady Leigh Luv: the first of course is one for a conflict that you must be sure you meet the challenge rule
[11:13] Lady Leigh Luv: what is the challenge rule?
[11:13] Kilav FuryKilav Fury raises his hand
[11:14] Lady Leigh Luv: hellhound
[11:14] Hellhound: two posts of warning before you make an attack against another player to give them a chance to bow out if they do not want to fight
[11:14] Lady Leigh Luv: exactly they must have a chance to respond
[11:15] Kilav FuryKilav Fury raises his hand again
[11:15] Lady Leigh Luv: hellhound?
[11:15] Hellhound: How would you do that with a magic based attack?
[11:15] Hellhound: I'm having trouble figuring that one out
[11:15] Lady Leigh Luv: ok if your intention is to harm with magic you have two choices
[11:16] Lady Leigh Luv: one is to use one of the abilities and the other is to use the harm roll
[11:16] Hellhound: Well I understand HOW to attack
[11:16] Lady Leigh Luv: we do not use the PvAbility rolls against another player that would affect health or life
[11:16] Hellhound: What I'm confused on is how you would meet the challenge rule
[11:16] Lady Leigh Luv: ok start a challenge and I will RP with you
[11:16] Hellhound: Ummmm
[11:17] Lady Leigh Luv: would a scenario be more helpful?
[11:17] Hellhound: Actually if we could just reverse rolls
[11:18] Hellhound: I really just want to see an exdample of how to do a challenge with magic
[11:18] Lady Leigh Luv: ok
[11:18] Nimilanor Delvalle: same way you do with an attack.. you just.. charge your magic subtley.. same was you would grasp your sword in challenge post 1.. draw in post 2.. and strike in post 3.
[11:18] Hellhound: nods thoughtfully
[11:18] Lady Leigh Luv: ((Leigh Huet is In Character.))
[11:19] Nimilanor Delvalle: charge - aim - strike.
[11:19] Kilav Fury: ((hellisaprison Resident is In Character))
[11:19] Lady Leigh Luv: ok so let me start
[11:19] Lady Leigh LuvLady Leigh Luv was hiding in the shadows watching those walking by when she noticed Kilave she could almost smell the blood when she inhaled and his limp made him look like an easy target
[11:20] Kilav FuryKilav Fury limps over slowly towards an empty seat, unaware that he was being watched. Slowly and awkwardly he lowered himself down into the low chair hoping he could get back up again.
[11:22] Lady Leigh LuvLady Leigh Luv stayed within the shadows as she moved within she was pulling them more to her she did not want him to notice and tried to blend in moving closer.
[11:22] Lady Leigh Luv: have I really met the challenge rule yet?
[11:22] Okori Inaka: No.
[11:23] Hellhound: Sort of
[11:23] Lady Leigh Luv: correct I havn't
[11:23] Lady Leigh Luv: this is more like engaging the beginning of RP
[11:23] Hellhound: nods
[11:24] Okori Inaka: The reason I see is because you're not stating an action that could be potentially noticed as an attack.
[11:24] Lady Leigh Luv: correct I have only moved closer there is no intent yet
[11:24] Hellhound: Wasn't the first post sort of a statement of intent though?
[11:24] Hellhound: I mean I could tell you planned to attack
[11:24] Hellhound: By calling me an easy target
[11:25] Lady Leigh Luv: true but what kind of target
[11:25] Hellhound: I see
[11:25] Lady Leigh Luv: that requires more RP
[11:25] Hellhound: nods
[11:25] Hellhound: You could just be trying to rob me or molest me I get it
[11:26] Nimilanor Delvalle: true. retrospect: she wants to ribb your face off, and suck your bonemarrow. :p
[11:26] Hellhound: LOL
[11:26] Nimilanor Delvalle: *nods sagely*
[11:26] Lady Leigh Luv: care to continue?
[11:26] Hellhound: Of course
[11:27] Kilav FuryKilav Fury slowly stretches out his legs, hiding the grimace of pain at the act of extending his bad leg with well practiced ease, still unaware of anyone paying him any mind as he twiddles his thumbs and waits for class to start.
[11:28] Okori Inaka: BRB. Gotta help with groceries. >.<
[11:28] Lady Leigh LuvLady Leigh Luv would slowly release her scent as she moved closer her voice soothing and said. "having trouble with your leg?" the tip of her tongue tracing over her lips
[11:30] Kilav FuryKilav Fury looks around at the sound of the voice addressing him, his head tilting ever so slightly as the woman's scent reaches his nose. "Nothing out of the ordinary. I am more then used to it by now."
[11:31] Lady Leigh LuvLady Leigh Luv would notice the practiced ease raising the corner of her mouth just showing the tip of her fang she would use the shadows that seemed so a part of her and her scent hopeing to bring down his naturl defences opening him to her and say. "yet it pains you so."
[11:31] Lady Leigh LuvLady Leigh Luv attempts but misses performing Hex on .
[11:31] Lady Leigh Luv: damn and I forgot to target
[11:31] Lady Leigh Luv: facepalms
[11:31] Hellhound: LOL
[11:31] Zena Mistwalker: ;)
[11:31] Lady Leigh Luv: now it is his choice it can be...a failed roll
[11:31] Hellhound: And me with no anticurse yet :P
[11:32] Lady Leigh Luv: or....he can let me roll again
[11:32] Hellhound: Target and go again since it's just class ;)
[11:32] Lady Leigh Luv: this can be agreed upon between two players
[11:32] Lady Leigh Luv: after all we are human and forget
[11:33] Lady Leigh Luv: personally I always give the player the option if this was real
[11:33] Nimilanor Delvalle: one thing she can;t do: is change her action. to an direct attack.
[11:33] Lady Leigh Luv: but did I meet the challenge rule before I tried to bring down your defenses?
[11:33] Hellhound: No
[11:33] Nimilanor Delvalle: no. :)
[11:33] Lady Leigh Luv: no? why not?
[11:34] Hellhound: You've still not done anything to make your intent to attack clear
[11:34] Lady Leigh Luv: I RPd about gathering my shadows in one post
[11:34] Lady Leigh Luv: and releasing my scent in another
[11:35] Lady Leigh Luv: and then directed them towards you...the first attack
[11:35] Hellhound: Releasing a scent is a warning?
[11:35] Lady Leigh Luv: magic can be subtle
[11:35] Hellhound: nods
[11:35] Lady Leigh Luv: and for leigh ya
[11:35] Hellhound: So technically you did meet the challenge rule?
[11:36] Lady Leigh Luv: yes I am letting you the typist know I am fixing to do something
[11:36] Hellhound: nods
[11:36] Hellhound: I think I understand now
[11:36] Nimilanor Delvalle: mm i thought he needed one more post.. but that might be me miscounting really.
[11:36] Lady Leigh Luv: at least for my character magic is subtle and depends on the situation
[11:36] Hellhound: Right
[11:37] Hellhound: So for me I could say something about like his energy beginning to spark and crackle as he gathers it
[11:37] Lady Leigh Luv: now in your face with leigh it would have to be for a reason
[11:37] Lady Leigh Luv: correct
[11:37] Hellhound: Okay
[11:37] Hellhound: I think I get it now
[11:37] Hellhound: Thank you :)
[11:37] Lady Leigh Luv: magic requires a build up
[11:37] Hellhound: That makes sense
[11:37] Lady Leigh Luv: you can't just release is suddenly
[11:38] Lady Leigh Luv: you have to prepare
[11:38] Hellhound: nods
[11:38] Lady Leigh Luv: gather it hone it use it
[11:38] Lady Leigh Luv: and I mean by hone pick your target
[11:38] Lady Leigh Luv: make sense to everyone?
[11:39] Nimilanor Delvalle: *nod*
[11:39] Lady Leigh Luv: just like a weapon finger it hand on the hilt type of thing draw it and then you can use it
[11:39] Lady Leigh Luv: those are the warnings
[11:40] Lady Leigh Luv: it is what the challeng rule is all about
[11:40] Lady Leigh Luv: everyone clear? any questions?
[11:40] The Shadow: all good
[11:40] Zena Mistwalker: i good
[11:41] Suthar Anzuth: all good here
[11:41] Nimilanor Delvalle: *refreshed on challenge rule*
[11:41] Lady Leigh Luv: and Okori is stuck bringing in groceries
[11:41] Lady Leigh Luv: ok so now we have our challenge rule met and time for some fun
[11:41] Hellhound: ~understands how to meet the challenge rule with magic now~
[11:41] Lady Leigh Luv: now if you know you don't have much time and wasn't expecting to find yourself in a conflict RP
[11:41] Lady Leigh Luv: it is ok to IM the person and tell them that
[11:42] Lady Leigh Luv: both of you can guide the Rp where you can run off
[11:42] Lady Leigh Luv: just leads to more RP later finding them to..continue
[11:43] Lady Leigh Luv: there are times RL can just be down right rude...laughs
[11:43] Hellhound: Like Okori and his groceries rightg now :P
[11:43] Nimilanor Delvalle: Hah!
[11:43] Zena Mistwalker: quick question
[11:44] Lady Leigh Luv: all we ask is to respect your fellow gamer and understand RL always comes first for without it...well..ya can't have a second one
[11:44] Lady Leigh Luv: yes Zena?
[11:44] Zena Mistwalker: can i cancel the rp i have where i stuck in human form
[11:44] Zena Mistwalker: do to rl it been long time
[11:44] Lady Leigh Luv: I am not sure I understand your question hun
[11:44] Zena Mistwalker: i posted that i change to human when i drow
[11:44] Nimilanor Delvalle: you can rp breaking your human bond / disguise?.
[11:45] Lady Leigh Luv: ((Leigh Huet is in StoryTeller mode.))
[11:45] Nimilanor Delvalle: Its how I rp nimi.. she is both Elf.. and Drow.. but thats a long ic story. :)
[11:46] Lady Leigh Luv: if you are in a certain state and RL keeps you away for a week....then you can do your Opening RP as to what happend during that time
[11:46] Lady Leigh Luv: make sense?
[11:46] Zena Mistwalker: kk;)
[11:46] The Shadow: I'm a leprecaun, Pixie, Unicorn, Fairy with Minatour socio-political leanings
[11:46] Lady Leigh Luv: like for me RL kinda put a curve ball on me and well I ended up having to have surgery..I had to explain the dissapearace of my character for over a week
[11:47] Lady Leigh Luv: just be plausable
[11:47] Lady Leigh Luv: ok?
[11:47] Zena Mistwalker: easy enough ty;)
[11:48] Lady Leigh Luv: ok so back to the dice...in this situation we are using them in a conflict
[11:48] Lady Leigh Luv: you have levels of what to use...the first is your abilities
[11:48] Lady Leigh Luv: it is up to you and your RP on how you would use them..like pushthem, blindthem etc.
[11:49] Lady Leigh Luv: if none of the abilities fit with the action you are wanting to do the next level is to go to the PvTarget harm
[11:49] Lady Leigh Luv: always keep in mind your intent and it will help you as to which roll to use
[11:50] Lady Leigh Luv: we have 5 different outcomes and let me show you how one would react based on those outcomes
[11:50] Lady Leigh Luv: Stellar - Better than perfect: Target is vastly affected i.e. knocked out
[11:51] Lady Leigh Luv: Success - Perfect: Target is somewhat affected i.e. based on their attempt you are now harmed
[11:51] Lady Leigh Luv: Bare Success - Barely: Target gets some affect but can be brushed off. the attempt just brushed against you could be a scratch
[11:51] Emily Autumn: Im sooo late
[11:51] Lady Leigh Luv: Fail - Miss: Target dodges, blocks no matter the action they did not connect
[11:51] Okori Inaka: Back andcaught up.
[11:52] Lady Leigh Luv: Critical Fail - OhCrap: Target is in noway affected but the deliverer gets affected by the action instead (transfer) you have affected yourself and shoud follow with the RP reaction is still a fail from the one you attempted it on.
[11:52] Okori Inaka: Okay.. so.. wait... I need to clarify something about intents and rolls.
[11:52] Lady Leigh Luv: ask your question Okori
[11:53] Okori Inaka: Okay. In RP, it's your action that determins the type of roll you make.
[11:53] Okori Inaka: Or more specificaly, the TYPE of action?
[11:53] Lady Leigh Luv: more specifically the intent
[11:53] Emily Autumn Emily Autumn waves hand
[11:54] Lady Leigh Luv: emily waving to say hi or question?
[11:54] Okori Inaka: WEll, I could see intent, but type also needs to be a factor as wel. Right?
[11:54] Emily Autumn: question
[11:54] Emily Autumn: well
[11:54] Emily Autumn: i wanted to see if i could help answer
[11:54] Lady Leigh Luv: sure
[11:54] Lady Leigh Luv: player input is always appreciated
[11:56] Emily Autumn: ok intent is more important I think because. for example, if i goto hug someone, 80% of the time im gunna roll a hug, but if it was being used to stop someone from an action, like when i hugged war the other day, id use a cripple
[11:56] Emily Autumn: or muddle
[11:57] Emily Autumn: its like, if i playfully tossed a grape at u, then id roll simple, if my intent was to injure your pride, i might roll hatm instead
[11:57] Emily Autumn: is that accurate?
[11:57] Emily Autumn: harm
[11:57] Lady Leigh Luv: very
[11:57] Emily Autumn: :D
[11:58] Lady Leigh Luv: the hug could also be an assist in that you are wanting to comfort
[11:58] Okori Inaka: I'm not sure I understand that... Abilities I'm not in the sure of yet, how and when they apply, but the basic attack using the dice system is what I'm most concerned with. Mehtodologycomes next, in order of general identification....
[11:58] Lady Leigh Luv: ok lets look at your ability page
[11:59] Okori Inaka: So... Let me see if I can understand this more coorectly.
[11:59] Lady Leigh Luv: everyone please click on your hud
[11:59] Nimilanor Delvalle: ((brb
[11:59] Emily Autumn: well basically, anything you do can be quantified in a dice roll, but intent determines what you use
[11:59] Emily Autumn: ok
[11:59] Lady Leigh Luv: chose mycharacter
[11:59] Lady Leigh Luv: then mylarps
[11:59] Lady Leigh Luv: once the page comes up and your are signed into your larps account click on details under the icon of your character
[11:59] Lady Leigh Luv: please let me know I have everyone on their details page
[12:00] Suthar Anzuth: nods
[12:00] The Shadow: yep\
[12:00] Emily Autumn: rdy
[12:00] Zena Mistwalker: ok ;) rdy
[12:01] Hellhound: Hold on
[12:01] Lady Leigh Luv: just need ready from hell and Okori
[12:01] Hellhound: Okay I'm on the details page
[12:01] Hellhound: And I think Okori is still dealing with groceries?
[12:02] Lady Leigh Luv: no he is back just waiting for him to tell me he is on the details page with us
[12:02] Hellhound: kk
[12:03] Okori Inaka: Generally speaking, if you have an intent to do something, it can be calssified as a passive action or an agressive action, intent-wise. On the same coin, the action your taking, whether non-physical - IE Trying to figure something out (Discovery), or another non-agressive action, could be listed under a dice roll that doesn't effect the player directly or principally, whether for good or ill. However, a motion that does require direct principal interaction, (Spell, Direct Contact, Enviromental Effect) could be classed as a different kind of roll?
[12:04] Lady Leigh Luv: we have three different areas on the PvTarget Okori
[12:04] Emily Autumn: well ya, if you use an environmental roll, your effecting the world, target rolls effect other people
[12:04] Emily Autumn: I think
[12:04] Lady Leigh Luv: harm, assist, and discovery
[12:04] Lady Leigh Luv: this is affecting an actual player
[12:04] Okori Inaka: Right.
[12:05] Lady Leigh Luv: and your right emily..the environment is just that your interacting with the environment
[12:05] Okori Inaka: But..
[12:05] Okori Inaka: Acording to what you'd said earlier, you have abilities as well...
[12:05] Lady Leigh Luv: yes and that is where I am taking you right now
[12:05] Okori Inaka: Personal abilities. So, where does the line between the player-effecting rolls end, and the personal ability rolls begin? That line for me is blurred.
[12:05] Lady Leigh Luv: did you get to the details page of your character?
[12:06] Lady Leigh Luv: always go for the abilties first when affecting another player
[12:06] Lady Leigh Luv: once your on the details page click on abilities on the left hand side of the screen for me
[12:08] Okori Inaka: Oh, Yes. I'm on the Details Page.
[12:08] Lady Leigh Luv: see where it says abilities? click on that word for me
[12:09] Emily Autumn: there
[12:09] Okori Inaka: Done.
[12:09] Lady Leigh Luv: this is a list of abilities every player has..depending on the type of character they have will depend on how they act
[12:10] Lady Leigh Luv: it is up to you and your RP to go by the description of that ability in how you use it in your RP not the name of it
[12:10] Lady Leigh Luv: for instance...healing
[12:11] Lady Leigh Luv: it could be a matter of just bandaging a wound or using magic
[12:11] Lady Leigh Luv: depends on your character and your RP
[12:11] Emily Autumn Emily Autumn raises hand
[12:12] Lady Leigh Luv: hobblethem is another could be you threw something to hinder their movement like rope or magic in a way that would hinder their movemnt
[12:12] Lady Leigh Luv: either way they don't move so well
[12:12] Valik Gabriel Clifton: ((Valk Clifton has entered the area.))
[12:12] Lady Leigh Luv: yes emily
[12:12] Hellhound: hey other Valik
[12:13] Emily Autumn: if i went to lick wounds, i could roll a heal, but in the rp it wouldnt really do much good unless my saliva was like not only strawberry flavored but also had healing properties?
[12:13] Emily Autumn: hey puppy!
[12:13] Valik Gabriel Clifton: hi everyone
[12:13] Lady Leigh Luv: correct your saliva would have to have healing properties
[12:13] Valik Gabriel Clifton: hi Valik
[12:14] Lady Leigh Luv: the idea is to use these first be it conflict or help
[12:15] Lady Leigh Luv: and no they don't meet all ways you may affect another so then you go to the dice....all abilities have a factor of working they still have dice rolls just show up different is all
[12:15] Okori Inaka: So, then based on what you chose to be, your base character type, this determines your Abilities list?
[12:15] Okori Inaka: Or do you eventually get everything?
[12:15] Lady Leigh Luv: actually no Okori everyone gets the same abilities but how they work is based on the character
[12:15] Lady Leigh Luv: and you always gain more as you level and learn
[12:15] Lady Leigh Luv: all the way up to over 100
[12:17] Lady Leigh Luv: evertime your character improves you gain more abilities so this is a good page to keep an eye on
[12:17] Lady Leigh Luv: as you use them how long they last how much help or damange they inflict also grows -
[12:18] Valik Gabriel Clifton: so the more you use abilities the more powerful they become?
[12:18] Lady Leigh Luv: correct
[12:19] Valik Gabriel Clifton: Can we use are abilities in a fight against another player?
[12:19] Valik Gabriel Clifton: our*
[12:19] Lady Leigh Luv: yes and should be the first place you go
[12:19] Lady Leigh Luv: the affect especiallly in a big RP fight last till the person used it turn comes about again
[12:19] Lady Leigh Luv: so say all of us were in a fight
[12:20] Lady Leigh Luv: and Leigh decided to levitate everyone
[12:20] Okori Inaka: But.. They keep going up and down every few minutes. You work on one set, others go down. To gain any kind of leverage, you need to skill up one skill constantly, just tokeep it even at a partial par. And that's in small percents. At least, that's what I've noticed so far. You build one skill, then try to build another, the one you just worked on goes down.
[12:20] Emily Autumn: Its more based on luck than stats
[12:20] Lady Leigh Luv: even though your avatar hits the ground before I can post again that affect still remains.
[12:20] Lady Leigh Luv: and no it is based on your stats
[12:20] Emily Autumn: oopsie XD
[12:21] Nimilanor Delvalle: *waves to zena, with an impish smile*
[12:21] Valik Gabriel Clifton: So the more I use Hoble the more powerful it becomes?
[12:21] Zena Mistwalker: sorry i got tired of pink skin
[12:21] Valik Gabriel Clifton: awsome I'm going to kep breaking legs
[12:22] Emily AutumnEmily Autumn humms cutely.
[12:22] Lady Leigh Luv: everythiing is based on your stats...your endurance, your prowess...how good you are with a weapon. and yes the more you use them they grow the best way is to just do your RP...use those abilities in a way that make sense to your character
[12:22] Nimilanor Delvalle: *goes to break everyones armour and fleees!*
[12:22] Lady Leigh Luv: numbers will always fluctuate based on what it is your doing
[12:23] Lady Leigh Luv: the larps is truly the mind of your character. and changes constantly based on what you are doing
[12:23] Lady Leigh Luv: hunger also affects it
[12:23] Kilav Fury: ((hellisaprison Resident is Out Of Character))
[12:24] Lady Leigh Luv: for the more hungry you get your not as strong can't think as clearly, your aim wont be as good...your getting tired more easily
[12:24] Lady Leigh Luv: same for overeating as well
[12:24] Lady Leigh Luv: it will affect you negatively just as if you ate that big holiday meal and feel you can't move
[12:24] Kilav FuryKilav Fury raises his hand
[12:24] Okori Inaka: True, but...Point is... Why should a skill go down so far, when you don't forget how to ride a bike?
[12:25] Hellhound: Actually never mind
[12:25] Lady Leigh Luv: because other skills fluctuate...it keeps them in balance.
[12:26] Suthar Anzuth: plus characters are always good at somethings and have a tendacy to relie on them more than others.
[12:26] Lady Leigh Luv: but I will promise you this I will speak with tri and get a more definitive answer on that for you
[12:27] Lady Leigh Luv: and yes Suthar your right a lot depends on your RP for they would rely on some things more than others. I know my character does
[12:27] Emily Autumn: for instance, my character excells at cuddles, and I have difficulty rolling harm XD
[12:28] Hellhound: My Valik has yet to fail an expert ability roll
[12:28] Steampunk Saori: Early class, cool.. Aya people, don't mind me.
[12:28] Hellhound: And I've done like 20 something so far
[12:28] Lady Leigh Luv: but with each fail you gain wisdom and intellegence
[12:28] Emily Autumn: Sprockie
[12:28] Lady Leigh Luv: same with as you RP with those you don't know it will grow as well
[12:29] Okori Inaka: For instance... In another place that also has Larps, I'd worked on my blade skils HEAVY. Then I started working on my spell skils. In the end, my blade skills went straight back down to zero. It became just as weak as when I'd first started trying to use the Larps System. It kind of confuses me.
[12:30] Lady Leigh Luv: well ya it is called balance
[12:30] Okori Inaka: It was just two skills.
[12:30] Lady Leigh Luv: either your a master at the blade or a master at magic you cannot be a master at both
[12:31] Lady Leigh Luv: one will bring the other down
[12:31] Lady Leigh Luv: the larps reacts based on what your character does
[12:31] Okori Inaka: That's the problem. It was jsut two skills. I could understand if it was 19 different skills that you're trying to build, of course something's going to go down... but just two skills? How is that balance?
[12:32] Nimilanor Delvalle: blade skills.. is one thing.. magic is a whole different ball game.
[12:32] Okori Inaka: It didn't just bring it down for me, though. It straight botomed out, and I hadn't even worked on the other skill to even half as powerfull as the first skill.
[12:33] Steampunk Saori: ..she asks me to come sit with her, just obliging
[12:33] Suthar Anzuth: one is physical and the other is mental, both rely on completly different aspects of your character
[12:33] Valik Gabriel Clifton: <-- all physical
[12:33] Lady Leigh Luv: as I said I will ask tri to get a more defenitive answer. and here is the thing about the LaRPS. you cant work the numbers.
[12:33] Okori Inaka: True, but a skill built up that high shouldn't bottom out so quickly, is what I'm getign at.
[12:34] Emily Autumn: thankls sprockie, i didnt feel like getting shocked or any steam burns, specially not being crushed, just to get snuggles XD
[12:35] SprocketSprocket nips her neck. "An' I thought you liked it rough.."
[12:35] Lady Leigh Luv: I understand your questions and will try to find a better answer for you but the LaRPS is set that you cannot work the numbers it is ment to be worn do your RP based on your actions, the abilities you use, how you use the dice in your RP all will affect your character and stats will build based on all of that
[12:36] Emily Autumn Emily Autumn giggles and nips at her lower lip "I do, just not rough enough to leave me in a full body cast.. " ^^
[12:37] Zena MistwalkerZena Mistwalker pulls out her small crossbow and aims for the flying bat.
[12:37] Lady Leigh Luv: hey be nice to Wings
[12:37] Lady Leigh Luv: ok so moving on?
[12:37] Zena MistwalkerZena Mistwalker laughs
[12:37] Steampunk Saori: I brought him a friend
[12:38] Emily Autumn: yep
[12:38] Steampunk Saori: And lots of friends..
[12:38] Nimilanor Mor'gwirNimilanor Mor'gwir levitates the crossbow out of her hands.
[12:38] Okori Inaka: Don't shoot Nibbles! O.O
[12:38] Emily Autumn: i have a bat 2
[12:38] Emily Autumn: he sits in my cleavage...well...what cleavage i have ^^
[12:38] Okori Inaka: What? Who doesn't name aVampire Bat Nibles? O.o
[12:38] Steampunk Saori: Serious, I'm with Okori on this one
[12:38] Lady Leigh Luv: laughs and moves on with the class
[12:39] Lady Leigh Luv: ok we talked about outcomes
[12:39] Emily Autumn Emily Autumn giggles and tosses a lolipop at Okori
[12:39] Hellhound: Awwwww
[12:39] Hellhound: I want one!
[12:39] Lady Leigh Luv: please make sure when you make your post that you are clear about your intent
[12:39] Lady Leigh Luv: then do your roll
[12:40] Lady Leigh Luv: the player that you are affecting then has their reaction based on your attempt and the outcome of the roll within the same post will then do their own action attempt
[12:40] Lady Leigh Luv: there is only one time that this does not happen and that is with the critical fail
[12:40] Lady Leigh Luv: the reason for this is because a critical fail is a back fire
[12:40] Suthar Anzuth: i hate those
[12:40] Emily Autumn: they are so funny though XD
[12:40] Steampunk Saori: You shouldn't Suthar, they make for some of the most halarious RP
[12:41] Lady Leigh Luv: so the one that did the attempt gets a critical fail they will then need the opportunity to RP how that attempt back fired. it is a reaction only
[12:41] Zena Mistwalker: not when your trying to phase through a wall and smack your head
[12:41] Lady Leigh Luv: then you can continue with your reaction and action
[12:41] Lady Leigh Luv: is that clear? any questions about that?
[12:41] Zena Mistwalker: im good ;)
[12:41] Suthar Anzuth: or break a few ribs lol
[12:41] Steampunk Saori: I critically failed reaching up to whipe dried blood off Lux's neck, critically failed the assist so I felt, reachout for something to grab and break my fault, his crotch being the close thing.. than got a critical on my harm roll.. good times.
[12:41] Suthar Anzuth: all good leigh
[12:41] Steampunk Saori: fell*
[12:41] Emily Autumn: like if I crit failed tossing the loli at Okori, it would have boomeranged and hit me in the head..
[12:42] Emily Autumn: how is that not hilarious?
[12:42] Emily Autumn: ^^
[12:42] Steampunk Saori: Then you'd need to eyepatches
[12:42] Steampunk Saori: two*
[12:42] Nimilanor Delvalle: strained a muscle more like it..
[12:42] Emily Autumn: XD
[12:42] Hellhound: Or you could over balance and fall on your face
[12:43] Lady Leigh Luv: there are all kinds of ways an action can back fire and can make it quite funny
[12:43] Lady Leigh Luv: so any questions about that?
[12:43] Emily Autumn: none here
[12:43] Suthar Anzuth: nope
[12:43] Lady Leigh Luv: now lets talk about discoveries a moment.
[12:43] OkoriOkori Eats the lolipop out of the air, and chokes on the stick. -KACK!-
[12:44] Steampunk Saori: I only logged to fiddle with my mech, gotta go soon.. Have fun with class strawberry, I'm headed back upstairs.. *kiss*
[12:44] Kilav FuryKilav Fury smacks Okori on the back
[12:44] Emily Autumn: *kiss kiss*
[12:44] Lady Leigh Luv: state balls for one....please remember stateballs are there to help you Rp a sceen properly..not to make you change the direction you were planning with your rP
[12:45] Lady Leigh Luv: just because you see a state ball doesn't mean your character knows something
[12:45] Lady Leigh Luv: wards are prime examples of this
[12:45] Kilav FuryKilav Fury raises his hand
[12:45] Lady Leigh Luv: you would need to do something that would trigger it for your character to find out something is different
[12:45] Lady Leigh Luv: yes hellhound?
[12:46] Hellhound: Okay like down below the church in the graveyard there is that alter place that has a stateball that says the place is devoid of life or something like that
[12:46] Hellhound: When I was exploring down there the other day
[12:46] Hellhound: Should I have called an ST?
[12:46] Steampunk Saori: A graveyard devoid of life..who'd think it?
[12:46] Hellhound: Nooooo
[12:46] Hellhound: Under the graveyard
[12:46] Lady Leigh Luv: were there other avitars in the area?
[12:47] Hellhound: Ummm once yes and once no
[12:47] Okori Inaka: Actually, I'd asked about that. It's not an entirely finnished RP, yet.
[12:48] Hellhound: Valik ran into War and Famine
[12:48] Hellhound: But Kilav was alone
[12:48] Lady Leigh Luv: we are working on that particular stateball so at this point your IC reaction would be not to see anything different and all I can tell you any more would poison the sceene for you
[12:48] Zena Mistwalker: brb rl
[12:48] Emily Autumn: I hugged War, he just kind of looked at me funny
[12:48] Hellhound: Okay
[12:48] Hellhound: I don't really want to know more
[12:49] Hellhound: I was just wondering if I should have called an ST
[12:49] Hellhound: All I did was look around though
[12:49] Hellhound: I iddn't want to interact with anything
[12:49] Lady Leigh Luv: to answer it would again poison the sceen but in the future yes if it says call for an ST then we would guide you through based on your RP
[12:49] Steampunk Saori: I feel guilty about needing to call an ST to interact when I find stateballs.. I don't want to bother them..
[12:49] Lady Leigh Luv: but that is our job hun
[12:49] Hellhound: Okay
[12:50] Steampunk Saori: I know, but it just seems like such a bother "Can I get an ST" please. I'm sure your already doing something, so I haven't interacted with any..
[12:51] Emily Autumn: You can get exp for doing some, Sprockie, and they usually have fun guiding ppl through quests, just remember to be polite and thank them after *smile*
[12:51] Lady Leigh Luv: actually we try to set aside time to just be ST's other times we are in our own RP we know that it will happen and part of the job we work as a team so even if I cannot answer the call personaly I can get another ST through our private chat
[12:51] Zena Mistwalker: back and caught up
[12:51] Okori Inaka: You know... I DO have asugestion for that, if the Story-Teller Staff is overwhelmed...
[12:51] LaRPS Meter v0.25: ((Saori Aeon's meter has been detached.))
[12:52] Lady Leigh Luv: yes Okori?
[12:52] Okori Inaka: Team Effort.
[12:52] Okori Inaka: Make it a requirement.
[12:53] Okori Inaka: In other words, much like in D&D, there's the Story Teller, or Dungeon Master, and then there's the Interacting Players.
[12:53] Okori Inaka: For this to work, the characters grouping together to do the RP have two pairs of requirements.
[12:53] Lady Leigh Luv: it is a requirement and we do work on that. but there are times due to RL that we are a bit thin on the ST department and all we can ask is that all of you be patient with us
[12:54] Emily Autumn: The quests aren't listed for players to RP themsleves, that would be the only problem, the ST's also gift exp at the completion of some of the quests.. But I dunno all the details, just sayin it might be tricky for players to take the roll as an ST, because they are completely different than normal players and this isnt setup like D&D :)
[12:54] Okori Inaka: The first and foremost is that both the Players and the Story Teller have the 'comitable' time to engage in the RP.
[12:55] Emily Autumn: oob
[12:56] Lady Leigh Luv: if you will give me a chance...for the quest..they are all listed in the crystal room.. to help yourself when you wish to do them. they do not require ST interaction to complete the request only at the end to give the XP. now you can save them up and get your XP after class or when fidgy is in the hub or any ST for that matter
[12:56] Kilav FuryKilav Fury reaises his hand
[12:56] Okori Inaka: The second requirement is 'Staying On Task'. Sure, you can find a StateBall, and the Story-Teller can appear there, but if it's not a StateBall that's a part of the current on-going RP, it can always be said by the Story-Teller currently engaged, "You don't notice that. It's not part of the RP".
[12:57] Hellhound: Hey ty!
[12:57] Lady Leigh Luv: when it comes to your RP even in conflict an ST is not necessary you can agree to just follow the rolls we are there to facilitate only and to be sure all take their turns and follow the RP and plausability
[12:58] The Shadow: :)
[12:58] Steampunk Saori: In a perfect world
[12:58] Lady Leigh Luv: however if one player asks for an ST then please be respectful and don't push it
[12:59] Lady Leigh Luv: state balls depend on the RP...most are passive like wards and you would not need an ST for them unless you set it off
[12:59] Lady Leigh Luv: for instance the cafe had..."for act of aggression contact an ST"
[12:59] Hellhound: I have a question about the wards
[12:59] Lady Leigh Luv: that means now rolls or needed
[12:59] Okori Inaka: Right.
[12:59] Lady Leigh Luv: are needed*
[12:59] Lady Leigh Luv: yes hell?
[13:00] Hellhound: Is it wrong for me to have Valik react to passing through the ward?
[13:00] Hellhound: I always have it send a chill down his spine because he is passing through magic.
[13:00] Lady Leigh Luv: as that particular ward had a visible aura yes you RPd it properlly
[13:00] Hellhound: Okay cool
[13:00] Lady Leigh Luv: if there is no visual clue like the cafe had then no
[13:00] Hellhound: nods
[13:01] Hellhound: I've only done it at teh Cafe so far but that is good to know
[13:01] Lady Leigh Luv: becareful with your discoveries. be specific in what it is your character is discoverying...for one can only answer what you ask not go by your underlying intention
[13:02] Steampunk Saori: I'm out people, have fun.. ^_^
[13:02] Lady Leigh Luv: the race thing is a big one to me
[13:02] Emily Autumn: back
[13:02] Lady Leigh Luv: personally if I want to know your race I will simply RP asking you about looking for specific hints based on your own RP
[13:03] Lady Leigh Luv: any questions? about the dice and what we have covered this morning?
[13:03] Zena Mistwalker: im good ;)
[13:04] Okori Inaka: That's important to know, people. THAT I can attest to as a former DM in D&D. NOTHING will be given by 'accident'. EVERYTHING is purposefull. If you don't ask? You won't get. These Story-Teller are HARD CORE about that.
[13:04] LaRPS Meter v0.25: ((Valk Clifton's meter has been detached.))
[13:04] Lady Leigh Luv: our favorite mantra...find out ICly RP about those things that your character wishes to learn
[13:05] Lady Leigh Luv: and what full immersive RP is about
[13:05] Hellhound: You were a DM Okori?
[13:05] Nic Luv: yes, it was beat into my head when I came,
[13:05] Hellhound: I miss D&D
[13:05] Emily Autumn: *GIGGLES* :)~~~~
[13:05] Emily Autumn: i like that mantra
[13:05] Nic Luv: even when searching for journal pages or doing quests but it soo makes it much more fun
[13:05] Hellhound: OH
[13:05] Lady Leigh Luv: I want to thank you all for comming and feel I have already kept you here longer than I should but will say your questions have been great and very indepth
[13:05] Hellhound:
