  1. Leigh Huet | December 27, 2011 - 02:43 AM

    [05:01 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): waves...greetings everyone
    [05:01 PM] Mordeth Morgwain: evening
    [05:01 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): Teacher later by one minute... insta-dock of 1 million cookies
    [05:01 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): pouts
    [05:01 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): I had to exit my RP....properly
    [05:02 PM] Sephy(persephonekore.plutonian): I have a bad connection and may crash Leigh
    [05:02 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): then I hope you will make it back
    [05:02 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): this particular class will be focusing on skills, dice and character development.
    [05:02 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): If you are unable to get back, the transcripts will be on the website for you Seph :)
    [05:04 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): now for all of you I would first like to say. take all the information you know about other combat meters and their stats, wow, video games etc...the LaRPs is a roll play tool and today we will be talking about how you develop your character.
    [05:04 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): Larps is unique and there is nothing like it. for it is ment to develop with your RP based on what you actually do. It is an artificial intelegence
    [05:05 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): the first part is in regards to skills and I am going to direct you to a web link
    [05:05 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): http://larps.net/skills_and_professions.php
    [05:05 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): this will give you a list of all our current skills
    [05:06 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): with each is a description of them...to use a skill all you have to do is type /9use skillname so for example if you wanted to use enchantment then type /9use enchantment
    [05:07 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): you do need to be sure that you type it correctly...the headings themselves are not skills but areas...the more you use a skill as you do dice rolls then you will gain in knowledge..of course like RL you learn more if you miss than when you succeed
    [05:08 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): now some of you may say..but my character would already have all this knowledge in an area..say enchantment for example
    [05:09 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): but that may be true for the area your character was in..but not for this one...the fact of the back story of Legacies alone can account for it..that things don't work the same as they did for your character
    [05:09 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): you can also learn more about a skill by having one of expert level or higher teach it to you
    [05:11 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): now the next thing I am going to tell you may not be very popular...you do not gain much in wisdom or intellegence if you sit and spam your rolls one after the other to bring up the level of a skill...the best way is over tiime and you may be surprised just how fast it grows on it's own based upon your characters devellopment
    [05:11 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): are there any questions about the skills?
    [05:11 PM] Rosaline(aester.encinal): yes please
    [05:11 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): Rosaline
    [05:12 PM] Rosaline(aester.encinal): The website lists your skills, is that correct? My character, rather than feeling she had many, would be rather shocked to find she had any
    [05:12 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: can you access these skills on the hud?
    [05:13 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): on your character sheet they will be listed only as you use them and no the skills are not accessed through the hud that you would need to type the /9use command
    [05:13 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): Due to the huge number of skills available, it isn't presently possible to list them on the HUD, so it is far easier to use the web site.
    [05:13 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: so i would have to remember all of those skills
    [05:14 PM] Sephy(persephonekore.plutonian): my character discovered her powers had changed and found a few new ones.
    [05:14 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): Sometimes helpful to make yourself a gesture, with the text /9 usee Illusion for example
    [05:14 PM] Shrug Dangle: bah I missed the one question I had heh
    [05:14 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: that's still a lot to do, I would have to make a gesture for each skill and remember the triggers
    [05:14 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): well would your character actually KNOW all those skills? no one person can know it all it is beter to concentrate upon a few
    [05:15 PM] Victoria VanTassel: ((Seras Tearfall has entered the area.))
    [05:15 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): you dont need to remember them, just have your browser open with your character list
    [05:15 PM] Shrug Dangle raises his hand
    [05:15 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): yes Shrug?
    [05:15 PM] Shrug Dangle: my character has a ton of skills listed that I can't get to either through my commands or through the HUD
    [05:16 PM] Shrug Dangle: of course I crashed while you were answering that question a moment ago so I may be asking something redundant
    [05:16 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): are you talking about the abilities for those are different from the skills I am talking about
    [05:16 PM] Shrug Dangle: yes
    [05:16 PM] Shrug Dangle: the abilities page of my character
    [05:16 PM] Shrug Dangle: those are skills I could *potentially* lean, right?
    [05:17 PM] Shrug Dangle: learn too
    [05:17 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): the skills themselves are not on the hud and the abilities not all of them have triggers through the hud either...but personally you can print them if you cannot keep a web page open at the same time
    [05:17 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): if you access your character sheet, the Abilities are what you've already learned
    [05:17 PM] Shrug Dangle: I've got 2 monitors heh
    [05:17 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): they will be in the HUD. if they aren't then try /9reload or reattach your meter
    [05:18 PM] Shrug Dangle: ok I'll try the reload
    [05:18 PM] Shrug Dangle: thank you :)
    [05:18 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): however, you can always use the /9 command to start the ability
    [05:18 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): are there any other questions about the skills?
    [05:19 PM] Shrug Dangle: oh I have another
    [05:19 PM] Shrug Dangle: if I have a purchased weapon equipped, does that make any difference whatsoever in the way my skills raise?
    [05:19 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): nope
    [05:19 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): truly think about your character and what skills they would really have and develop it is better to be well versed in a few think about what it is they really do
    [05:20 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): the prim attachments are purely for show. it is what you have selected in your "Equip" that affects anything
    [05:20 PM] Shrug Dangle nods
    [05:20 PM] Shrug Dangle: I have a few super technical questions about hit boxes and what not too
    [05:20 PM] Sephy(persephonekore.plutonian): so I can build my own attachments ?
    [05:20 PM] Shrug Dangle: but I'll wait
    [05:21 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): yup, go ahead and build your own style melee weapons but ensure they fit in theme
    [05:21 PM] Sephy(persephonekore.plutonian): can I sell them for coin?
    [05:21 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): yes, you can
    [05:21 PM] Sephy(persephonekore.plutonian): ok <3 thank you
    [05:21 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): in the RP area below any commerce must only be for coins.
    [05:22 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): if you want to sell for L$, then place the product boxes only in the hub shop area
    [05:22 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): you can attach a prim and it causes damage because of the way larps works but please remember this is not a combat sim but RP..any conflict except with the NPC's is RP turn based fighting with the dice.
    [05:22 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): any other questions about the skills before I move on?
    [05:23 PM] Pandora Fireguard: oh, i tried to use cooking and it said i couldn't
    [05:23 PM] Pandora Fireguard: should i just keep trying?
    [05:23 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): cooking is coming next week as well as painting and other "art" skills.
    [05:23 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): that is a skill heading the sections under cooking are still in ..well what Tri said.
    [05:23 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): I'll send a Notice out when those are available
    [05:23 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: is tehre a singing one?
    [05:23 PM] Pandora Fireguard: ok, thanks
    [05:23 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): there is, yes
    [05:24 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: cool
    [05:24 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): dancing too
    [05:24 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: sweet
    [05:24 PM] Pandora Fireguard: oh, thanks Trij!
    [05:24 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): look through the list think about your character use them as you dice roll which is where I am going next if everyone is ready
    [05:24 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: i ahve to say Trijin i really liek the LARPs
    [05:24 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): thank you....
    [05:25 PM] Faith Diesel: fate would not have the skill of ironing for example - she is fae she would just glamour her clothes elegant
    [05:26 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): ok so now I am going to give you another link
    [05:26 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: can i interject right quick?
    [05:26 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): this is located in our players manual and a great reference to help you chose dice...yes Gamja?
    [05:27 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: ok my char has a sword icly, do i have to get a prim sword to show that he is carrying one or can i just rp him carryin git?
    [05:27 PM] TriJin(trijin.bade): just RP it
    [05:27 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): or put it in your title that you are wearing one
    [05:27 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: k
    [05:27 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: ok
    [05:28 PM] Illusion(wheepingwillow): If I may ask a question...
    [05:28 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): yes?
    [05:29 PM] Illusion(wheepingwillow): Thank you so my character is blind she was not always like that so would she still know how to iron, and things of that nature from when she could actaully see?
    [05:30 PM] LaRPS Meter v0.25: ((Shrug Dangle's meter has been detached.))
    [05:30 PM] Ayperi gives some money to Mordechai R??mil Singollo
    [05:30 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): that is up to you
    [05:30 PM] Illusion(wheepingwillow): Well, I do not want to seem like my character could do everything that someone with sight could do is all.
    [05:31 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): I would think it would be plausable that just because she lost her sight doesn't mean she has lost her mind..she would just need to learn possibly a different way so she didn't burn herself
    [05:31 PM] Illusion(wheepingwillow) nods.
    [05:31 PM] Illusion(wheepingwillow): Thank you.
    [05:31 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): yw
    [05:31 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): http://larps.net/lc/topic/dice-roll-details
    [05:32 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): ok this is the link to our dice roll details
    [05:32 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): if you follow the steps and think about what exactly it is your attempting it will help you in chosing your dice
    [05:32 PM] LaRPS Meter v0.25: ((Shrug Dangle's meter has been detached.))
    [05:32 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): so first you will want to think about your skill we have already talked about those
    [05:32 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): then you want to determine what your focus is...
    [05:33 PM] Victoria VanTassel(seras.tearfall): what you are affecting
    [05:33 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): for instance is it another player...target...is it your self...or..is it something in the environment
    [05:33 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): exactly Victoria..what is it your affecting
    [05:34 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): now if say it is something that is on someone say for instance pandora's hat...you would still target Pandora..but if her hat was on a table it is now part of the environment
    [05:34 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): any questions about the focus?
    [05:34 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: yea
    [05:35 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): yes gamja?
    [05:35 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: ok my char uses magic through his singing and if he's in a room singing and it affects everybody in the room, do i have to target everybody one at a time or would that be an environment roll?
    [05:36 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): that would be environment because it is an area not one specific
    [05:36 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: k
    [05:37 PM] Pandora Fireguard: i have a question. today i found a large box and tried to open it while i was exploring. i tried to open it. which would that be.
    [05:37 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): still environment unless it was targetable
    [05:37 PM] Pandora Fireguard: i targeted it.
    [05:37 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): then target
    [05:37 PM] Pandora Fireguard: then i tried physical.
    [05:38 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): now the next tree in your choices for a dice roll is your method
    [05:38 PM] Pandora Fireguard: then wasn't sure after that.
    [05:38 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): ok hopefully as I go through these then you will see which roll you could have used
    [05:38 PM] Rosaline successfully performs a mental discovery on themselves.
    [05:38 PM] Pandora Fireguard: ok. thank you.
    [05:39 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): the method is about are you physically...affecting,,mentally affecting or magically.
    [05:39 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): the magic is anything that is super natural
    [05:40 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): the next part is the action....you have chosen your focus, your method and now how you are going to apply it
    [05:40 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): there are a few here that do get most confused so lets talk about each one
    [05:40 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): the first is grapple
    [05:40 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): this means to get a grip to hold in place..no movement
    [05:41 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): like get a grip on your emotions...or grab someones arm so they cannot move away
    [05:41 PM] Bobbie Faulds gave you XLong Leigh White.
    [05:41 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): the next is influence
    [05:41 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): this is To affect mental state, hypnosis, physic or state of mind.
    [05:42 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): the next is presence - To affect the target's presence. Teleporting, body deformations, other physical affects that has no harm, heal or change of mental.
    [05:42 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): an actual change of location or form..I think of this as movement...
    [05:43 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): like to pull someone towards you
    [05:43 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): harm is you are wanting to hurt
    [05:43 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): assist..help like in healing or to help them on their feet...
    [05:43 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): and discovery
    [05:44 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): now this last one is a way to learn something about someone and depends a lot on your RP...you will only get what you ask for
    [05:45 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): it is not a confirmation of say your own assumptions...but it is based upon your RP..like using body language to discover if they may be hiding something...or with constables to discover hidden weapons
    [05:45 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): be specific in your RP for that discovery
    [05:45 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): are there any questions about these?
    [05:45 PM] Victoria VanTassel(seras.tearfall): nope
    [05:45 PM] Faith Diesel: can i ask a question about discovery - when would i need to use it on another player. I tend to just ask them in my rp post
    [05:46 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): I personally use it when I am looking for something specific
    [05:46 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: reading someone's aura would use discovery right?
    [05:46 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): for instance...when healing how deep a wound is to see if I can determine it or if there is an infection
    [05:46 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): that would be another way Gamja
    [05:47 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): but I am with you faith for most of it...for the most part my character just asks what she wants to know
    [05:47 PM] Wren Noir(wrennoir.cerise): Wren is a Rom Gypsy. She uses fortune telling to bilk the gadje of their money. When I do discovery after Palm Reading or Divination I leave it up to them to tell me what I might have discovered. It has worked out well so far. Is that ok then?
    [05:47 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): yes that is a great use for it wren
    [05:47 PM] Wren Noir(wrennoir.cerise): thank you
    [05:48 PM] Faith Diesel: so when you are examining something physically or magically maybe rather than things a character might tell you?
    [05:48 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): yes
    [05:49 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): or say for a lycan to discover a specific scent
    [05:49 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): to lock it in so to speak
    [05:50 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): any other questions about the discovery or any of the others before I move on to outcomes?
    [05:51 PM] Adramalech Wardark: Not from me. I think I might have to start rolling presence more and stop using influence though. >.>
    [05:51 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): it depends on how your RPing it
    [05:51 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): ok so lets move on to outcomes
    [05:51 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): there are 5 of them
    [05:52 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): the first is stellar...this means you did it perfectly exactly what it is your character attempted
    [05:52 PM] Victorino Moriarty whistles innocently and pretends he's been there all along
    [05:52 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): success you were successful in your attempt perhaps not as perfect but you did achieve what you were going for
    [05:53 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): bare success....you barely got your attempt..say in a harm..you hurt them but instead of a cut you got a scratch
    [05:53 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): miss...you did not acheive the objective
    [05:53 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): and the last is the most interesting...critically miss...this is a back fire
    [05:54 PM] Pandora Fireguard: oh oh
    [05:54 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): so lets talk about reactions here
    [05:54 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): a person makes an attempt they got a stellar...your reaction should reflect that
    [05:54 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): player a makes an attempt then rolls the dice
    [05:55 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): player b reacts based on the outcome of that dice
    [05:55 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): except where there is a critical involved
    [05:55 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): why?
    [05:55 PM] Victorino Moriarty(tyrus.olbers): player a must play the back fired
    [05:55 PM] Pandora Fireguard: the other player can take the advantage?
    [05:55 PM] Victoria VanTassel(seras.tearfall): the critical rolling play is the one who chooses what happens to their character
    [05:55 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): correct....victoria and tyrus
    [05:56 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): only you can say how that roll backfired on you and can only have a reaction
    [05:56 PM] Pandora Fireguard: oh, ok
    [05:56 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): so then player b can react to how it backfired and move on with the RP
    [05:56 PM] Nic Luv(nicolie.luv): [13:32] Lord Nic Luv focuses on their skill of Scrying, critically misses in performing a mental influence on the environment.
    [05:56 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): make sense?
    [05:57 PM] Pandora Fireguard: yes
    [05:57 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): now let me ask you a tricky question
    [05:57 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): lets say I make an attempt to remove Pandora's hat and got a successful roll...can she then do another roll to stop me?
    [05:57 PM] Nic Luv(nicolie.luv): [13:34] Nicolie Luv: curses out loud feeling like someone had hit him in the back of the head with and anvil, his hand gripped his head causing him to fall to one knee "Damn it." he grumbles
    [05:58 PM] Pandora Fireguard: i would say no.
    [05:58 PM] Victorino Moriarty(tyrus.olbers): if the roll is succesful it means it has been accomplished. Maybe if the role barely successyou can play that the person got the hat but half way the player b can try to get it back
    [05:58 PM] Pandora Fireguard: that is one action.
    [05:58 PM] Pandora Fireguard: pandora would have to complete it then initiate her own action.
    [05:58 PM] Victoria VanTassel(seras.tearfall): she can rp the hat actually getting knocked off but she could roll on her turn trying to grab it out of mid air and place it back in its place. So it honors your succes
    [05:59 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): well sorta victoria
    [06:00 PM] Victorino Moriarty(tyrus.olbers): I believe the idea is that even when a roll is succesfuk upon you there are dices in play, meaning there is a side of the roll which is your defense, if the other player succeeds it means they have break through your odds
    [06:00 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): correct..if successful your defenses were already taken into account
    [06:01 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): so a roll actually consist of...my roll - your defence = outcome roll
    [06:01 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): if I miss your defenses took over...if I am successful then your defences did not
    [06:01 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): please respect your fellow players and honor their roll based upon what is plausable for your character
    [06:02 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): now I want to give you all a chance for a practice...but let me be clear how this works
    [06:02 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): one attempts upon another. then roll
    [06:02 PM] Sephy(persephonekore.plutonian): I have been meeting a few Munchkin making using dice fun for me
    [06:02 PM] Sephy(persephonekore.plutonian): not fun*
    [06:03 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): then who they attempted reacts based on the RP and the outcome then can make one action attempt back
    [06:03 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): I am not sure I understand sephy
    [06:03 PM] Sephy(persephonekore.plutonian): powergamers
    [06:04 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): if there are issues over dice and feel that your rolls are not being respected please use the /9st and call for a storyteller
    [06:04 PM] Sephy(persephonekore.plutonian): ok
    [06:04 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): we are here to assist and help players
    [06:04 PM] Shrug Dangle raises his hand
    [06:04 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): yes shrug?
    [06:05 PM] Faith Diesel: powergaming is not allowed here but if you dont tell us we cant help
    [06:05 PM] Shrug Dangle: I've always been taught and held the philosophy that the RP scene has devolved into the sewer-levels if you have to break into the dice
    [06:05 PM] Shrug Dangle: a good RP'er should be able to work it out without having to resort to a roll
    [06:06 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): actually you attempt anything upon another player we do use the dice and it has nothing to do with sewer-levels as you put it
    [06:06 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: i kinda agree with you Shrug but dice roll is good for combat scenes so that you can avoid drama
    [06:06 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): dice take into account the defences wisdom, intelegence of your character
    [06:06 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: at least that's what i think
    [06:06 PM] Shrug Dangle: right, to make things fair
    [06:06 PM] Adramalech Wardark: I've always been taught the opposite Shrug. But then again I've always RP'd with D&D where the outcome of a dice roll is EVERYTHING.
    [06:07 PM] Mordeth Morgwain: if I may?
    [06:07 PM] Pandora Fireguard: but what if the other person is not as good a role-player. the dice make it fair. and a good rper is subjective.
    [06:07 PM] Sephy(persephonekore.plutonian): Yes, I have been Rping table top for years and dice have always been helpful and Legacies is very table top to me so useful.
    [06:08 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): I enjoy my dice they have added a level to my RP that actually take into account her knowledge..and the fact of chance
    [06:08 PM] Adramalech Wardark long distance high 5's Sephy.
    [06:08 PM] Victorino Moriarty(tyrus.olbers): such idea does apply to some sims, however I believe rolls in this sim were made to be integrated within the roleplay. At the end wether a roll os succesful or not, the reations of both players and the detail is up to them. The dice roll is merely a guideline
    [06:08 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: the thing i don't like is the rolling for every little thing, like let's say i try to sneak a kiss from Willow, I wouldn't dice roll for that, I'd just let her either accept it or don't accept it
    [06:08 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): they take out that just because you say it doesn't make it so...
    [06:09 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): well I wouldn't make Nic roll for that either Gamja
    [06:09 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): but we have had some interesting play fights with dice
    [06:09 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): and had a lot of fun with it
    [06:09 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: yea
    [06:09 PM] Victorino Moriarty(tyrus.olbers): sometimes it depends on how much you know the other player and the interaction of your char with the player's
    [06:10 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): a lot depends on the RP but if my character is going to affect another in a big way other than a kiss I will use the dice.
    [06:10 PM] Shrug Dangle: like if it comes down to a moment of contention, then dice
    [06:10 PM] Victorino Moriarty(tyrus.olbers): something as simple as stealing a kiss with he wrong person might turn into an OOC discussion it could have been avoided
    [06:10 PM] Faith Diesel: i am a timid rper and a slow poster - i love the dice as it puts me on an equal footing with the most pushy of players
    [06:10 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): here is the biggest thing about legacies
    [06:10 PM] Shrug Dangle: like paragraphers?
    [06:10 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: not if it's an *attempt* to steal a kiss
    [06:10 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): we are a community
    [06:11 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): we respect our fellow RPers
    [06:11 PM] Sephy(persephonekore.plutonian): I feel safer rolling dice with someone I don't know OOC or IC
    [06:11 PM] Shrug Dangle: I see your point, keeps things fair
    [06:12 PM] Faith Diesel: grins agree leigh - and i also love failing and the unexpectedness of the outcomes
    [06:12 PM] Victoria VanTassel(seras.tearfall): also there are some...unwanted advances, but the rpers wish to be fair and give the people a chance to do so. I can say i have at least seen a few kisses turn into full blow fights on weather they were accepted or not. I personally love the randomness
    [06:13 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): use the dice stay IC on the game floor and enjoy your game does that mean we expect you to roll the dice everytime you take a step?..no we don't but especially with those you don't know and don't RP with all the time use the dice it makes it fun for all and it does develop your characater it is part of that doing that I am talking about
    [06:13 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: i've never had that experience
    [06:14 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): so any other questions? comments?
    [06:14 PM] Shrug Dangle: oh can I ask my technical question?
    [06:14 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): certainly Shrug
    [06:15 PM] Shrug Dangle: ok I was fighting some NPC as part of a quest, it was an abysmal grip I believe
    [06:15 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): yes
    [06:15 PM] Shrug Dangle: I couldn't figure out where the bounding or hit box was
    [06:15 PM] Shrug Dangle: so spells would land but melee wouldn't
    [06:15 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): smiles...that you have to figure out where their sweet spot it
    [06:15 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): is*
    [06:15 PM] Victorino Moriarty(tyrus.olbers): they are die hard bastards, indeed
    [06:16 PM] Shrug Dangle: well that's happend to me with a rat too
    [06:16 PM] Victorino Moriarty(tyrus.olbers): gotta aim for the head
    [06:16 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): then you were not at it's sweet spot
    [06:16 PM] Pandora Fireguard: that's part of the challenge. i just figured it out today and defeated it.
    [06:16 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): shhhh tyrus
    [06:16 PM] Shrug Dangle: lol
    [06:16 PM] Shrug Dangle: shh don't tell me :P
    [06:16 PM] Victorino Moriarty(tyrus.olbers): hey, it's logic
    [06:16 PM] Shrug Dangle: true
    [06:16 PM] Victorino Moriarty(tyrus.olbers): best way to kill anything
    [06:16 PM] Pandora Fireguard: i'm not telling.
    [06:16 PM] Persephone Kelaino Plutonian wants to know
    [06:16 PM] Victorino Moriarty(tyrus.olbers): behead it and you're good to go
    [06:16 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: i got a auestion
    [06:16 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: 8question
    [06:16 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: *question
    [06:16 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): yes Gamja?
    [06:16 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: ok
    [06:16 PM] Victorino Moriarty(tyrus.olbers): off with their heads
    [06:17 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: if i do a skill of reading body language can i then do a dice roll of discovery on the person I'm trying to read?
    [06:18 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): yes but you would need to be clear in the details what it is you were trying to read in their body language
    [06:18 PM] Gamja Myanamotu: ok
    [06:18 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): it all depends on your RP as to what you will get
    [06:18 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): if you are not clear you may not get an answer remember in everything it is all in the details
    [06:18 PM] Victorino Moriarty(tyrus.olbers): the more specific the better
    [06:19 PM] Faith Diesel: its all about what you rp - the hud is just backup
    [06:19 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): outcomes do not a RP make...you have to do your attempt first the outcome helps the other player for their reaction
    [06:20 PM] Leigh Luv(leigh.huet): any other questions?
    [06:21 PM] Victorino Moriarty ponders but finds nothing
    [06:21 PM] Victoria VanTassel(seras.tearfall): none from me
