[11:03] Elric (elric.blackadder): Easier for me to think of things as one of Sartre's characters from No Exit
[11:04] Elric (elric.blackadder): How do I get a new version of LARPS?
[11:05] Faith Diesel: by going out to the teleport area and doing the 4 steps
[11:05] Elric (elric.blackadder): Excellent
[11:05] Suunintak (littlenixie): ..Wait, how did I just level?
[11:05] Suunintak (littlenixie): I haven't been RPing.
[11:05] Faith Diesel: the board is straight in front of me through the door
[11:05] Beth (elizabethmalloy): you put the meter on
[11:05] Faith Diesel: just read and do what it says
[11:05] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): Well Hellllo
[11:06] Faith Diesel: might want to do that now if you havent already
[11:06] Suunintak (littlenixie): Oh, I should be OOC
[11:06] Elric (elric.blackadder): I did a few weeks ago. Memory costs extra
[11:06] Neuntoter Davidov: is v0.25.2?
[11:06] Suunintak: ((littlenixie Resident is Out Of Character))
[11:06] Elric (elric.blackadder): Yes
[11:06] Sinergy: ((Elric Blackadder is Out Of Character))
[11:06] Neuntoter Davidov: ok
[11:06] Elric (elric.blackadder): There
[11:06] Suunintak (littlenixie): I forgot I turned it on to do the /9title part.
[11:06] Elizabeth Stanton: ((elizabethmalloy Resident is Out Of Character))
[11:06] Valene SilverPard: ((shadowcat1811 Resident is Out Of Character))
[11:06] Vahn: ((Zolf Starsider is Out Of Character))
[11:06] Faith Diesel: yes thats correct 25.3 is a few weeks away yet
[11:07] Faith Diesel: you need the larps for this class so run do the orientation if you want to fully participate
[11:07] Elric (elric.blackadder): I have my larps on?
[11:07] Elric (elric.blackadder): Or do I?
[11:07] Suunintak (littlenixie): I did the orientation.
[11:07] Elric (elric.blackadder): I do /9menu and things happen
[11:07] Suunintak: ((littlenixie Resident is In Character))
[11:07] Suunintak: ((littlenixie Resident is Out Of Character))
[11:07] Suunintak (littlenixie): I'ma write that command down too.
[11:07] Faith Diesel: should have a meter abover your head
[11:08] Faith Diesel: can we start now - everyone sitting comfortably
[11:08] Elric (elric.blackadder): hrm, all I see is a color bar
[11:08] Neuntoter Davidov: ((Neuntoter Davidov is Out Of Character))
[11:08] Faith Diesel: have a look at those around you
[11:09] Faith Diesel: assuming everyone is active
[11:09] Elric (elric.blackadder): I see them, all I see is ((OOC Observer)) over my head and a color panel above it
[11:09] Fate: ((Faith Diesel is In Character.))
[11:09] Beth (elizabethmalloy): *looks* most of them look like they will kick my ass
[11:09] Faith Diesel: there you go thats mine active
[11:09] Elizabeth Stanton: ((elizabethmalloy Resident is In Character))
[11:09] Faith Diesel: lets start
[11:09] LaRPS Meter v0.25: ((Neuntoter Davidov's meter has been detached.))
[11:09] Sinergy: ((Elric Blackadder is In Character))
[11:10] Sinergy: ((Elric Blackadder is Out Of Character))
[11:10] Faith Diesel: first thing to note is the larps system is a roleplay system
[11:10] Sinergy: ((Elric Blackadder is In Character))
[11:10] Faith Diesel: we do have hack and slash facilities in it but thats not its purpose
[11:11] Faith Diesel: the legacies community is about sharing good quality immersive rp
[11:11] Beth (elizabethmalloy): *nods*
[11:12] Faith Diesel: so with that in mind the first thing you all need to be able to do is rp
[11:12] Elric (elric.blackadder)Elric pulls out a small glass and fills it with absinthe from a crystal bottle
[11:12] Faith Diesel: to do that so the larps recognises it you need to use what we call the /2 commands
[11:13] Sinergy: "wonders why he spilled absinthe on his slacks"
[11:13] Father MonocerosFather Monoceros grins
[11:13] Fate: "The /2commands allow you to RP using the HUD which allows for your stats such as verbosity to be improved. The most used are /2 for speech and /2m for actions. (using /2)"
[11:13] FateFate looks round the room to see if everyone has got the idea. (using /2m)
[11:13] SinergySinergy blasts the stain with fire to dry it, and refills the glass
[11:14] Beth (elizabethmalloy): we use 2m for actions?
[11:14] SinergySinergy hates gravity
[11:14] Suunintak (littlenixie): 2me
[11:14] Faith Diesel: if you see fatefate - thats because there is a glitch in the v2 based viewers
[11:14] SinergySinergy wonders what the difference between /2m and /2me are
[11:14] Faith Diesel: you can use /2/me if you like
[11:14] SuunintakSuunintak test
[11:14] Faith Diesel: but /2m is shorter
[11:14] Suunintak (littlenixie): Oh, so 2m does work, I see.
[11:14] Beth (elizabethmalloy): someone gaveme a gesture that does it on auto
[11:15] SinergySinergy successfully gets confused
[11:15] Faith Diesel: you can make it a gesture
[11:15] Suunintak (littlenixie): Gonna try somethin'.
[11:15] Faith Diesel: depends what works for you
[11:15] Suunintak: "me's test"
[11:15] Suunintak (littlenixie): Darn, no me's
[11:15] Elizabeth StantonElizabeth Stanton "stuff goes here"
[11:15] Suunintak (littlenixie): What if you want an apostrophe?
[11:15] Donghai Gan (donghaigan): IM me if you want the gesture. :3
[11:15] SinergySinergy fears choices
[11:15] SuunintakSuunintak 's.
[11:16] Faith Diesel: all the options are in the notecard inside the hud - just click help
[11:16] SinergySinergy nods
[11:16] Elizabeth StantonElizabeth Stanton hates broccoli
[11:16] Donghai GanDonghai Gan loves broccoli, because he's evil.
[11:16] Faith Diesel: its also on the website: http://www.larps.net
[11:16] McKenna Flynn: ((LadyLyxa Resident is In Character))
[11:16] Elizabeth StantonElizabeth Stanton thinks its like chewing on carpet...
[11:17] McKenna FlynnMcKenna Flynn burns broccoli to a crisp
[11:17] Suunintak (littlenixie): Do I only need to be wearing the Wear This stuff, or do I also need the equipment and quickeys activated?
[11:17] Valene SilverPard: ((shadowcat1811 Resident is In Character))
[11:17] Donghai Gan (donghaigan): Just the WEAR THIS stuff.
[11:17] SinergySinergy feels bad for Broccoli, and hopes they find a nicer sim to play in
[11:17] Faith Diesel: this is the most important part of the larps system the more you rp with others the more your character will improve
[11:17] Valene SilverPardValene SilverPard looks over and pokes Padi
[11:17] Beth (elizabethmalloy): i usually dont wear the radar
[11:18] Suunintak (littlenixie): Me neither, I just detached it.
[11:18] Padishar IshtariPadishar Ishtari eats her finger.
[11:18] Faith Diesel: the radar is useful because distance is important to larps
[11:18] SinergySinergy passes Padishar some barbeque sauce
[11:18] Faith Diesel: it can tell you who is within 20m and therefore who can here you
[11:18] SuunintakSuunintak took a quick glance about the room, and then did a double-take. She narrowed her eyes lightly, to peer at the man in a dress. So wasn't culturally aware.
[11:19] Faith Diesel: hear*
[11:19] Suunintak (littlenixie): Oooh!
[11:19] Faith Diesel: i mean of course see your posts
[11:19] Suunintak (littlenixie): Alright, it's back up.
[11:19] Suunintak (littlenixie): I've had some trouble with that, knowing if someone is in range to hear me.
[11:19] Faith Diesel: it also will tell you if you are close enough to use certain abilities
[11:20] Faith Diesel: well that is one of the purposes of the larps rada
[11:20] Faith Diesel: r
[11:20] SinergySinergy fears abilities
[11:20] Suunintak (littlenixie): Also nice to let ya know if you're RPing by yourself. XD Don't ask.
[11:20] Faith Diesel: you need to find a plausible reason to approach someone icly
[11:21] Elric (elric.blackadder): I dont like myself enough to rp with me
[11:21] Beth (elizabethmalloy): yep, that can be the hard part
[11:21] Suunintak (littlenixie): Sometimes when my character explores, I might do an RP post, but I have no idea if anyone's nearby because the sim wasn't allowing the mini-map, map, or a radar.
[11:21] Faith Diesel: but the radar called sentinel only tells you distance and char names
[11:21] Suunintak (littlenixie): Not this sim, I'm new to this one.
[11:22] Elric (elric.blackadder): If I explore, do I get larps xp?
[11:22] Faith Diesel: all the people in the within rp range can see your posts
[11:22] Beth (elizabethmalloy): you can
[11:22] Donghai Gan (donghaigan): I think so, Elric.
[11:22] Elric (elric.blackadder): Thanks
[11:22] Faith Diesel: yes you get xp for being active in the game
[11:23] Faith Diesel: you also get it for attending classes and at the STs discretion for a good ST
[11:23] Elric (elric.blackadder): ST?
[11:23] Suunintak (littlenixie): sorry, oob a moment
[11:23] Faith Diesel: storytell
[11:23] Suunintak (littlenixie): storyteller
[11:23] Donghai Gan (donghaigan): Like a GM
[11:24] Elric (elric.blackadder): Ah
[11:24] Faith Diesel: there are certain situations when you need to call an ST to referee the rp
[11:24] Faith Diesel: when you do harm for instance
[11:25] Faith Diesel: next thing you all need to know is that the larps information on your viewer is there to support your rp
[11:25] Faith Diesel: it tells you when you are hungry for example
[11:26] Faith Diesel: over about 50% hunger you need to eat
[11:26] Beth (elizabethmalloy): how do you eat
[11:26] Beth (elizabethmalloy): i got food but it does not register
[11:26] Faith Diesel: over 100% you are starving and will start fainting and wasting away
[11:26] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): oob one sec
[11:26] Faith Diesel: what did you get Beth?
[11:26] Elric (elric.blackadder): What is oob?
[11:26] Faith Diesel: out of body
[11:26] Peri (perissa.caproni): out of body
[11:27] Beth (elizabethmalloy): something from huet hall
[11:27] Beth (elizabethmalloy): the grilled burger supper
[11:27] Faith Diesel: its the only ooc thing you are allowed to post in local on the game floor
[11:27] Elric (elric.blackadder): Like AFK
[11:27] Faith Diesel: in single brackets
[11:27] Elric (elric.blackadder): Thanks
[11:27] Faith Diesel: yes allowed you to be afk for up to 10mins
[11:27] Beth (elizabethmalloy): it means out of body
[11:27] Faith Diesel: for potty break and the like
[11:28] SinergySinergy scratches out TMI and replaces it with (oob)
[11:28] Faith Diesel: let me give an example
[11:28] FateFate looks off as if contemplating (OOB)
[11:28] SinergySinergy chases his tail for a while (oob)
[11:29] Faith Diesel: its good to put it with an ic post so people know how to rp your absence
[11:29] Valene SilverPardValene SilverPard curls up into small kitty ball and falls asleep (OOB)
[11:29] Padishar IshtariPadishar Ishtari begins eating the kitty loaf. (oob)
[11:29] ShadowCat (shadowcat1811): Nooo! Bad Padi!
[11:29] Beth (elizabethmalloy): lol
[11:29] Padishar Ishtari: But...
[11:29] SinergySinergy searches for Demonic Duct Tape for the kitty to play with -
[11:30] Faith Diesel: try not to post you are doing anything too exciting though as that does make players want to interact with you and that isnt what you want afk
[11:30] SinergySinergy wonders how one can be exciting.
[11:30] Valene SilverPardValene SilverPard glares at Padi
[11:30] Faith Diesel: Beth i dont know about the food in Huet Hall
[11:30] Faith Diesel: i do know if you pay for an apple in the market it will reduce your hunger a bit
[11:31] Beth (elizabethmalloy): havent found the market
[11:31] Faith Diesel: you can also use /9bitethem or /9gorge in association with plausible rp as well
[11:31] Nimilanor Delvalle: its next to the boxing right. :)
[11:31] Nimilanor Delvalle: ring*)
[11:31] Beth (elizabethmalloy): uh, i have only been to 2 sims
[11:32] Faith Diesel: other things you can see on the viewer
[11:32] ShadowCat (shadowcat1811): Nimi!!!
[11:32] Faith Diesel: your strength health and life
[11:32] Padishar Ishtari: Hello Nimi. <3
[11:32] Faith Diesel: does everyone understand what those mean?
[11:32] Nimilanor Delvalle: hey all sorry to crash the class. -smiles, and observes-
[11:33] Faith Diesel: smiles have a seat nimi
[11:33] Beth (elizabethmalloy): think so
[11:33] Beth (elizabethmalloy): in a general sense of dont let them drop
[11:33] Faith Diesel: Health is amount of hit points before your character becomes defeated. You could RP that as how much damage you have sustained.
[11:34] Faith Diesel: Defeated is not dead but injured sufficient to render the player unable to fight. Like being unconscious.
[11:34] Faith Diesel: Strength can be RPed as how tired you are. If strength gets to zero, it will affect health
[11:34] Faith Diesel: Life is the full life force of your character, if that gets to zero, you are dead and need to be resurrected.
[11:35] Faith Diesel: Death is difficult to achieve but resurrection will probably need a high level character to do.
[11:35] Beth (elizabethmalloy): as a zombie?
[11:35] Suunintak (littlenixie): You need money to buy food from the market, right? And can you tell a bit more about the bitethem/gorge part?
[11:35] Faith Diesel: a zombie is undead yes - it has a life
[11:35] Suunintak (littlenixie): Sorry, back.
[11:35] Faith Diesel: even if an undead one
[11:36] Faith Diesel: bitethem is an ability in your hud - it will releave some hunger but use power to do it
[11:36] Faith Diesel: you need to be close to a character for a bite to be successful
[11:37] Faith Diesel: so a clever victim could do a little sidestep
[11:37] Suunintak (littlenixie): Oh, like a vampire bite.
[11:37] Faith Diesel: hi have a seat
[11:37] Elric (elric.blackadder): Or make a date out of it and eat each other?
[11:37] Mielemiah Valeska: Hi sorry ^^
[11:37] Faith Diesel: vampire get more hunger relief than humans obviously
[11:37] Faith Diesel: giggles
[11:38] Beth (elizabethmalloy): this is not dolcett
[11:38] Beth (elizabethmalloy): ack
[11:38] Faith Diesel: gorge use 2000power
[11:38] Suunintak (littlenixie): It seems like it'd be difficult to RP, until I see it.
[11:38] Faith Diesel: some races use that if their food it energy or emotions or something like that
[11:39] Suunintak (littlenixie): Gorge is what? I know what the word means but it particularly what it pertains to.
[11:39] Suunintak (littlenixie): *but not particularly
[11:39] Faith Diesel: you can use it to just eat physically or magically - its up you how you rp it
[11:39] Donghai Gan (donghaigan): Cures hunger up to 50%
[11:39] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): Oh you can gprge me anytime sun
[11:40] Donghai Gan (donghaigan): You can get creative, eat dinner, eat people... use magic.
[11:40] FateFate munches her sandwich
[11:40] FateFate performs Make Food on themself.
[11:40] Suunintak (littlenixie): Tsk tsk, lol
[11:40] Faith Diesel: does that help
[11:40] Suunintak (littlenixie): So you can use bitethem and gorge to apply to RP food you have, when you don't have real item food that will fix your hunger.
[11:41] Faith Diesel: no you dont but it needs to be plausible - if i have no sandwich in my pocket i cant rp eating it
[11:41] Faith Diesel: if you dont rp it - it didnt happen is a good principle to follow
[11:42] Beth (elizabethmalloy): how did you do the make food thing?
[11:42] Faith Diesel: i keep a note of whats in my pocketses
[11:42] Faith Diesel: i typed /9gorge
[11:42] Suunintak (littlenixie): Sometimes my character carries a dead fish in her pocket.
[11:42] Suunintak (littlenixie): Not all the time.
[11:42] Grilled Hamburger whispers: Ahh!Great when they are grilled
[11:42] Suunintak (littlenixie): Isn't the full reason she smells like fish, but hey.
[11:43] Elizabeth StantonElizabeth Stanton performs Make Food on themself.
[11:43] Faith Diesel: but you can also find it in the drop down when you click on your hud line
[11:43] Faith Diesel: there you go
[11:43] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): Ok so I have a question I found a Green Gem the other day on the ground, are they common place and/also what purpose do they serve
[11:43] Suunintak (littlenixie): I thought they were tp devices?
[11:43] Faith Diesel: they do have a purpose in the future so dont lose them
[11:43] Beth (elizabethmalloy): mmm yummy
[11:43] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): No I found this tiny one near Ten Bells
[11:44] Faith Diesel: but the original use they had is broken
[11:44] Faith Diesel: it was an old quest
[11:44] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): Ah ok Ill be sure to keep it
[11:44] Faith Diesel: grins - will be useful soon
[11:44] Faith Diesel: heres a new bit for padi
[11:44] Astrid (astrid.floresby)Astrid gets all excited
[11:44] Beth (elizabethmalloy): [oob]
[11:44] Padishar Ishtari: :3
[11:44] ShadowCat (shadowcat1811): woot!
[11:45] Faith Diesel: when we get the new larps soon we will have crafting and inventory activated
[11:45] Faith Diesel: you will be able to collect ingredients and materials and make them into things
[11:45] Elric (elric.blackadder): Nice.
[11:45] Faith Diesel: then use the things
[11:46] Faith Diesel: you will also be about to attend classes and read books to learn how to do things
[11:46] Faith Diesel: able not about*
[11:46] SinergySinergy fears learning
[11:46] Faith Diesel: the learning is called skills
[11:47] Faith Diesel: you can see what its is like by finding a horse and riding it
[11:47] Peri (perissa.caproni): like horse back riding or fishing
[11:47] Faith Diesel: you will be very bad at it to start but with time you can become legendary at it
[11:47] Faith Diesel: exactly peri
[11:47] Suunintak (littlenixie): oob, oven
[11:48] Faith Diesel: giggles dont have to oob here
[11:48] Faith Diesel: just slip away quietly
[11:48] Astrid (astrid.floresby)Astrid can't contain the excitement!
[11:48] Faith Diesel: giggles at astrid
[11:48] Faith Diesel: any questions
[11:48] Elric (elric.blackadder): Will probably come up with some after I ponder things
[11:49] Padishar Ishtari: :3 I'm sorry Faith, but I already learned that one! You will have to try harder. *grins evilly*
[11:49] Faith Diesel: giggles - you make it so hard padi you know too much
[11:49] Valene SilverPardValene SilverPard shoves a piece of cloth into Padi's mouth to keep him quiet
[11:49] Padishar IshtariPadishar Ishtari pouts.
[11:50] Faith Diesel: lets talk about how to do actions
[11:50] SinergySinergy idly wonders how one pouts with a sock in their mouth
[11:50] Faith Diesel: we dice roll each significant action
[11:50] ShadowCat (shadowcat1811): sooo I should have rolled for the action I just did lol
[11:51] Faith Diesel: this is to make the rp more realistic with a random elelment and to prevent godmodding
[11:51] Faith Diesel: you do not have to roll for every single little thing
[11:51] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): I had a few questions about this
[11:51] Faith Diesel: only those you consider significant
[11:51] Faith Diesel: go ahead Vahn
[11:52] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): Whay should I consider significant, like the other day I tripped you and I rolled but I saw a gentlemen rolling to pick up a glass
[11:52] Nimilanor Delvalle: -tickles astrid-
[11:52] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): gentleman*
[11:53] Faith Diesel: the tripping yes Vahn - you must if you affect another character
[11:53] Astrid (astrid.floresby): *giggles madly then glares at Nimi*
[11:53] Faith Diesel: i loved that trip by the way - made me laugh
[11:53] Beth (elizabethmalloy): back
[11:53] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): :3 My other question being i see there is novice and so on
[11:53] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): how do I judge what level roll i should choose
[11:53] Faith Diesel: picking up a glass - depends on the rp
[11:54] Faith Diesel: generally no you dont - most people can pick up glasses
[11:54] Faith Diesel: but say the table was dirty and stick with beer as it might be in the ten bells
[11:54] Suunintak (littlenixie): I'm betting it was because they couldn't see the glasses.
[11:54] Suunintak (littlenixie): Blind as a bat.
[11:54] Nimilanor Delvalle: -smiles innocently-
[11:54] Astrid: ((Astrid Floresby is In Character.))
[11:54] Faith Diesel: you might roll to see if you managed without spilling
[11:55] Faith Diesel: or if you might miss because you cant see
[11:55] Beth (elizabethmalloy): i broke a syringe yesterday
[11:55] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): Like when I rolled to trip you I selected novice but I see it goes all the way up to legendary
[11:55] Suunintak (littlenixie): Could you also just randomly decide on your own? Like just set the cup down and accidentally knock it off?
[11:56] Faith Diesel: PvA is for magic and supernatural really
[11:56] Elric (elric.blackadder): PvA?
[11:56] Suunintak (littlenixie): PvA?
[11:56] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): what they said?
[11:56] Elric (elric.blackadder): jinx. 1 2 3 4 5...
[11:56] Beth (elizabethmalloy): ditto?
[11:56] Faith Diesel: there are 3 general dice rolls at the moment
[11:56] Faith Diesel: player vs target PvT
[11:56] Elric (elric.blackadder): PVT?
[11:56] Suunintak (littlenixie): PvA = Player versus Area?
[11:56] Faith Diesel: player vs environment PvE
[11:57] Elric (elric.blackadder): ah, playver versus target = pvt
[11:57] Suunintak (littlenixie): Ah
[11:57] Faith Diesel: and Player vs Ability PvA
[11:57] SinergySinergy nods
[11:57] Suunintak (littlenixie): Ability?
[11:57] Suunintak (littlenixie): Like ability to set down a glass or pick up glasses?
[11:57] Suunintak (littlenixie): PvE, kick a bench? Hurt yer foot.
[11:57] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): Now my question is we can rp magic powers and so on but then we need to use pva to that purpose
[11:58] Faith Diesel: yes as i said a min ago PvA is for magic or supernatural abilities where there is no harm
[11:58] Faith Diesel: and it is being phased out in the next meter
[11:58] Suunintak (littlenixie)Suunintak is still confused.
[11:58] Beth (elizabethmalloy): do humans ever use PvA
[11:58] Suunintak (littlenixie): Oh hay.
[11:58] Astrid (astrid.floresby): want me to find the flow chart Faith?
[11:58] Faith Diesel: can we start at the begining perhaps and yes Astrid that is a good idea
[11:59] Faith Diesel: there are 3 groups of dice rolls in the larps -
[12:00] Faith Diesel: the actions and abilities in the hud - the /9 commands
[12:00] Faith Diesel: these are the most accurate ones and should be used first
[12:01] Astrid (astrid.floresby): http://larps.net/lc/topic/combat-dice-roll-flowchart
[12:01] Faith Diesel: there is a full list of the abilities at this link and your character sheet lists all the ones your character can do
[12:01] Faith Diesel: http://larps.net/spells.php
[12:01] Peri (perissa.caproni): ty
[12:02] Elric (elric.blackadder): tyvm
[12:02] Faith Diesel: they are called /9 because you need to put /9 in front of the command for larps to recognise it
[12:02] ShadowCat (shadowcat1811): I didn't know we had this! Thanks
[12:02] Faith Diesel: we discussed an action and an ability earlier
[12:03] Faith Diesel: the /9bitethem is an action
[12:03] Faith Diesel: and the /9gorge is an ability
[12:03] Faith Diesel: you get more abilities as you level up
[12:04] Faith Diesel: you can rp the abilities how you want as long as the rp fits the description of what the ability does
[12:05] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): So If I were to use missile I would rp as maybe a magic spell?
[12:05] Faith Diesel: so if you used /9haze for example - it says in the discription that this blinds
[12:05] Faith Diesel: so you could use it to throw sand in someones eye
[12:05] Faith Diesel: or to use a magic blinding spell
[12:05] Faith Diesel: does that make sense?
[12:05] Padishar Ishtari: Vahn, you could also shoot a gun and call it Missile, too/
[12:06] Suunintak (littlenixie): Do you RP before or after you do it?
[12:06] Padishar Ishtari: Before.
[12:06] Faith Diesel: exactly padi
[12:06] Suunintak (littlenixie): Makes sense.
[12:06] ShadowCat (shadowcat1811): I throw rocks ^^
[12:06] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): Yeah that makes sense
[12:06] Faith Diesel: missile is throwing something at someone
[12:06] Suunintak (littlenixie): I need to restart a moment, the colors all inverted in SL, it's blinding
[12:06] Suunintak (littlenixie): Unless someone knows a quick fix.
[12:06] Astrid (astrid.floresby): they are always attempts :)
[12:07] Faith Diesel: correct astrid
[12:07] Suunintak (littlenixie): Attempts to hurl a rock, aims and attempts to shoot.
[12:07] Faith Diesel: we always rp actions as attempts
[12:07] Faith Diesel: then we can write the reaction post based on the larps outcome
[12:08] Faith Diesel: if you are attempting to affect someone else
[12:08] Faith Diesel: then you need to target them before you dice roll
[12:08] Faith Diesel: by clicking their head or the meter text
[12:09] Faith Diesel: left click
[12:09] Elric (elric.blackadder): People seem to get tense when I click their head...
[12:09] Faith Diesel: this allows larps to do the resist roll at the same time
[12:09] Elric (elric.blackadder): Oh, you mean in game
[12:10] Faith Diesel: if there is a target then the afected person does the reaction
[12:11] Faith Diesel: this is because if you are the victim you are the only one who would know how the action would affect you
[12:11] Faith Diesel: please though remember to rp your damage and keep a tally of it
[12:12] Suunintak (littlenixie): The health meter won't keep track?
[12:12] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): You mean like now being stabbed 8000 times and still running around
[12:12] Vahn Sainclair (zolf.starsider): no*
[12:12] Faith Diesel: in the new larps you will be able to go into conflict mode so the larps will keep track of that damage during a conflict
[12:12] Suunintak (littlenixie): When do the new larps come out?
[12:13] Faith Diesel: at the moment the larps does naturally heal rather fast so you need to look at the time of the damage
[12:13] Faith Diesel: yes in a few weeks
[12:13] Faith Diesel: and padi didnt know that!
[12:13] Faith Diesel: giggles
[12:14] Suunintak: ((littlenixie Resident is Out Of Character))
[12:14] Beth (elizabethmalloy): yay
[12:15] Faith Diesel: if and only if there is no action or ability appropriate in the hud or abilities list do you use the PvT,E & A
[12:15] Suunintak (littlenixie): I'll behonest, this is a bit overwhelming.
[12:16] Faith Diesel: hun - you have the abilities list and the hud - so i would go and practice
[12:16] Suunintak (littlenixie): I don't know how to do a PvT/E/A, literally.
[12:16] Peri (perissa.caproni): learn as you go suunintak.I have been here forever and don't know it
[12:16] Faith Diesel: if you need to use PvA T & E call an ST to help you
[12:16] Faith Diesel: at least the first time
[12:16] Astrid (astrid.floresby)Astrid nods. We like helping!
[12:16] Suunintak (littlenixie): So there's no button for a PvA, you look at the list and type out the command?
[12:17] Beth (elizabethmalloy): i can practice with you
[12:17] Suunintak (littlenixie): Thank you, Beth.
[12:17] Donghai Gan (donghaigan): Click the bar at the top of the screen next to health.
[12:17] Faith Diesel: yes there is press the gem on your hud
[12:17] Donghai Gan (donghaigan): It'll bring up the menu.
[12:17] Donghai Gan (donghaigan): Or the dice, yeah.
[12:17] Suunintak (littlenixie): Legendary, Novice, Skilled, Expert. o_O
[12:17] Faith Diesel: and you get the whole list of general dicerolls
[12:17] SuunintakSuunintak successfully performs the Novice ability.
[12:17] Beth (elizabethmalloy): yay!
[12:17] Suunintak (littlenixie): ..What... ability?
[12:18] Suunintak (littlenixie)Suunintak tries not to panic, must remain calm.
[12:18] Faith Diesel: dont worry too much about that - as with the new system you dont need to choose
[12:18] Peri (perissa.caproni): you can still role play without the dice
[12:18] Suunintak (littlenixie): I'll try and just RP and not focus on battles 'til the new systems.
[12:18] Suunintak (littlenixie): That's what I'd like, Peri. *nod*
[12:18] Faith Diesel: ok rp doing something to me Sunnintak
[12:18] Faith Diesel: i dont mind what
[12:18] Suunintak (littlenixie): Er...
[12:18] Faith Diesel: dont be too complicaated though
[12:19] Faith Diesel: hit me with a bottle
[12:19] SinergySinergy successfully equips a pair of weapons.
[12:19] SuunintakSuunintak reached in her pocket, and actually found something small and hard. Pulling it out, she quirked an eyebrow at the button, and tried to flick it at Faith.
[12:19] Faith Diesel: throw it at my head
[12:19] Astrid (astrid.floresby): maaan, i've never got to hit Faith with a bottle
[12:19] SinergySinergy performs Awake on themself.
[12:19] Faith Diesel: laugh
[12:19] Faith Diesel: s
[12:19] ShadowCat (shadowcat1811): heyyy y lucky Suun!
[12:19] Elizabeth StantonElizabeth Stanton tries to give suunintak a hug
[12:19] Elizabeth StantonElizabeth Stanton successfully assists Suunintak.
[12:20] Suunintak (littlenixie): I don't get it, what happened?
[12:20] Suunintak (littlenixie): What's haaappppening?
[12:20] Faith Diesel: can everyone stop doing stuff
[12:20] Faith Diesel: and let Sun do a /2 post
[12:20] Suunintak (littlenixie): What kind of /2 post?
[12:20] Faith Diesel: he needs to rp throwing a bottle at me
[12:21] Faith Diesel: shall i let astrid do it sun?
[12:21] Faith Diesel: she is itching to
[12:21] SuunintakSuunintak picked up a bottle, and because for this split second she's been possessed by ornery old gods, she tried to chuck it at poor Faith's head.
[12:21] Astrid (astrid.floresby): XD
[12:21] Faith Diesel: yay
[12:21] Padishar Ishtari: Perfect. :D
[12:21] Suunintak: ""Buh-lammo!""
[12:21] Faith Diesel: now click my head
[12:21] Faith Diesel: or the meter text

[12:22] Padishar Ishtari: Left.
[12:22] Faith Diesel: needs to look like a hand
[12:22] Padishar Ishtari: Kinda hover over her head.
[12:22] Zena : ((Zena Mistwalker is Out Of Character))
[12:22] Faith Diesel: move mouse around till changes to hand
[12:23] Faith Diesel: then jsut left click
[12:23] Suunintak (littlenixie): There's an invisible sphere behind you that does it, but when I click, nothing happens.
[12:23] Suunintak (littlenixie): Get the hand cursor and everything.
[12:23] Faith Diesel: try now
[12:24] SinergySinergy performs Energy Missile on Fate.
[12:24] FateFate is hit with a missile.
[12:24] Faith Diesel: could be my sings
[12:24] Peri (perissa.caproni): look at the top of your page in the bar under target is Fate there?
[12:24] SinergySinergy flings belly button lint at Fate
[12:24] Suunintak (littlenixie): No, target's blank.
[12:24] Suunintak (littlenixie): Was that my problem?
[12:24] Peri (perissa.caproni): yes her name needs to be there
[12:24] Faith Diesel: have you got your meter on
[12:24] Suunintak (littlenixie): It's on, but ooc's off.
[12:24] SinergySinergy attempts but misses performing Insurge on Fate.

[12:24] Faith Diesel: doesnt work unles you are active
[12:24] Padishar Ishtari: Turn it on, try again. xD
[12:25] Padishar Ishtari: That's probably what's messing with you.
[12:25] Suunintak (littlenixie): That was the problem, target is now Fate.
[12:25] Suunintak (littlenixie): Er, that the ooc was on
[12:25] Faith Diesel: yay

[12:27] FateFate stumbles backwards as the bottle hits the side of her head making a large cut and there will be a huge bum,p and bruise in the morning
[12:28] Faith Diesel: i could have retaliated in the same post

[12:28] SinergySinergy performs Energy Missile on Fate.
[12:28] FateFate is hit with a missile.
[12:28] Faith Diesel: does that help
[12:28] Elric (elric.blackadder)Elric says something really boring and stuns Fate
[12:28] Suunintak (littlenixie): I did some AOL RP and we used dice for combat, and sometimes smaller dice for whether or not something happened by chance. We just didn't have huds, we used a simple dice roller.
[12:28] Faith Diesel: and no missiles without rp!!!
[12:29] Faith Diesel: thats bad bad bad
[12:29] Elric (elric.blackadder): ok
[12:29] Faith Diesel: any questions

[12:30] Vahn: ((Zolf Starsider is In Character))
[12:30] SuunintakSuunintak came to, and realizing what had happened, winced. She hesitantly went over and pulled out her best salve, unscrewed the lid and tried to apply some on Faith, if she'd allow it. (Just testing)
[12:30] SuunintakSuunintak performs Insurge on Fate.
[12:31] Suunintak (littlenixie): (*Faith's bump! No, I'm gonna smear this on your face and throw some at yer shirt, ahaha!

[12:32] Fate: ((Vahn is given 1000 experience points.))
[12:32] Suunintak (littlenixie): Thank you for the exp. I think I like the idea of the IC chat, to let people know in a way where you are RPing. Otherwise it might get lonely fast.
[12:32] Fate: ((Nimilanor Mor'gwir is given 1000 experience points.))
[12:32] Fate: ((Mielemiah is given 1000 experience points.))
