She didn't understand that saying your profile quote aloud was using it and mentioning it aloud... It's not like you said it... Sometimes I loathe profiles...

[Bobmuhthol]

My profile still says I'm the son of V'tull because of Snowdrop's "I'm 10!!!" ordeal.

If anyone said it to me in-game I'd just haymaker them and call it a day.

[SpunGirl]

What an idiot. Profiles, like tone, are a good idea that have become misused and abused by the dumbfucks.

Agreed totally and completely.
That's my point.

It's so tough to get a good fight going in game without it going OOC.

[Fallen]

That was icky all over. I would have accused him of being a stalker.

[Asha]

You see Ardenes Loch'Lorien the Bounty Hunter.
She appears to be a Dhe'nar Dark Elf.
She appears to be in her second childhood and very tall. She has long-lashed crystal green eyes and dusky skin. She has waist length, tousled deep red hair plaited into two braids with a pair of black leather hair-ties woven through them. She has a heart-shaped face, a classical nose and a generous mouth.
She has a lustrous dark bloodjewel half-ring in her lip, a vaalin-swept dark bloodjewel ring in the upper ridge of her left ear, and a vaalin-swept dark bloodjewel bar in her left eyebrow.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a bloodjewel inset bronze flagon, a gold ring, a black silk climbing pack, a black deathstone necklace, a sparkling ruby-set silver tiara, some blackened chain finger gauntlets, a large steel mesh sack, a necklace of spiked sharp wire, a silver filigree locket on a braided black silk cord, a swirl-incised shining silver neckguard, a wild black rose, a whorled crimson ruby anklet, a thigh-strapped leather toolkit, a fitted soft pink spidersilk thigh-sheath adorned with a dangling black diamond skull, some polished black leather boots reinforced with chains of crimson-hued mithril, a web-draped deep red spidersilk cloak edged with grey silk trim, an glossy black leather harness with a fluted-hilt vultite main gauche and a ruby-hilted black rolaren longsword secured to it, a burnished alum wedding band etched with a ring of scarabs, a crimson leather bodice fitted tightly and clasped with a grinning black diamond skull, a pair of sleek black leather pants, and some seductive ora-tentacled brigandine.

So you can look at it before you pick a fight. Thus saving your ass.
:lol:

[Jolena]

I just like profiles because it allows me to see if a rogue is skilled enough to deal with my boxes before I ask them and also because I have fun looking at what folks look like, who they follow etc. I don't use anything but whether or not a locksmith is capable of picking my boxes though in an IC fashion. Even then, I don't say, oh you look like you could pick my boxes, wanna try? I will just take care to ask someone specifically taht i see with locksmith gear on and have profiled, if they will pick my boxes for me. That way if they ask how I know they are smiths, I can say, the toolkit on your belt. :wink:

I use profiles to read the quotes. Some are funny, some are IC, some are just plain retarded.

- Arkans

[Showal]

I think profiles are a good idea because I've been able to draw up someone's profile if i'm talking to someone else about that someone and I forget what race, etc. they are. Which makes sense, because they're more than just a text name to Showal and he'd remember their race. It just sucks if they're not in game, then you can't bring up the profile.

Other than that:

You quietly whisper to Ardenes, "You cant see my profile you idiot . . you're in character."

Well said. I remember Killmanji said to one of my characters who asked him about some wand or something "I don't know anything about magic, can't you read my profile?" His profile said something stupid like "I ain't know nothing about magic."

He used a double negative and thus he knows everything about magic. You should been like, "YES I DID AND YOUR PROFILE SAYS YOU DO, YOU POOR ENGLISH USING FUCK!!!!!!!111111"

- Arkans

[Showal]

STFU ARKANS!!!!! This is Elanthia we're talking about, not Earth English. It makes sense.

I GOT A 10 INCH ELANTHIA FOR YOU AND A NICE SACK CARRYING THE TWO MOONS FOR YOU RIGHT HEEAH!

They can be used as a RP tool to help a player get a better grasp of the character they are RPing with. Unfortunately there are idiots who just don't get that. I would say you should be able to get a grasp of who a character is just by looking at the character and in theory you can, however most people wear so much crap it scrolls my screen there is no way I'm going to be able to get a sense of who they are. Often times I profile someone first. I have had a few people talk about my quotes out loud in game. I just feel sorry for them obviously they are too stupid to get the RP IG OOG OOC concepts and my character usually just ignores it or takes it as part of the conversation.


Just some pointless comments by Me

[Showal]

I'm not being offensive, but I like seeing what people choose as their first topic to respond to. Especially people who have been registered for a few months. Off topic, I know, but it's interesting.

Heh, me as well. I've been doing that as of late.

[ElanthianSiren]

The reliance on racial bullshit in GS to pick a fight only adds to the idiocity of the posted behavior.

I swear sometimes, I'd rather someone say, "Kiera you're fat!" and I'd cut out their tongue than the blase "Omg!!! ANOTHER HUMAN!" crap I used to see on a day to day basis.

Should have given her a few silvers to buy some originality.

Right, because race based RP is soooooo bad

- Arkans

[Asha]

Good point.
Why bother with races at all?

We should all be Human. Blonde hair and blued eyed humans too.

[SpunGirl]

Race-based RP isn't bad... it's just like any other RP (religious or whatever). Some people do it well, and some people are fucking retards. Also, don't even get me started on that chick's outfit. I had to look away after the first ten lines.

-K

[ElanthianSiren]

It takes a very very very good RPer to pull off believable race RP IMO. The reason for this is that it's seen so often in GS and often by people who can't come up with anything better, hence the comment about originality.

I don't particularly care what any player RPs, more that they be creative and original about it.

Thank you Melissa, that's such a refreshing attitude to have. I'd like to think my rp is somewhat original... Anyone that really knows Amerith and her whole story seems to agree at least somewhat. Like when she was a cultureless dark elf... she hadn't been raised by dark elves so of course she didn't really act like one per say... in fact when she was young it was her mission to change the way people view them in Vaalor etc... of course this didn't work but it was fun and frustrating to rp.

Thank you Melissa, that's such a refreshing attitude to have.



Whats refreshing about it? Just another "I'm great, but you suck" rant.

Fact is very few people roleplay, still fewer roleplay their own character. And those that do tend to do this based only on their race. You see posts about it here and its typically Dhe'nar or some other doofus race based scenario where they are better than everyone else, so pick Dhe'nar in the character manager and you win!

Many people leave others no option but race or class RP because they have no personality otherwise. I can't recall seeing any well developed character roleplay that was not based on some lame sterotype or overdone theme. And while I give some credit to the non-hostility based RP, the tart munchers can go to hell, thats so old and weak. Dart and Kodos and all the other min-maxing wizard hafling tart munchers suck ass and leave us today with characters like Augie.


Any non-dark, non-pure elven characters want to start a world level conflict against darks and elfs in general. If they can run around act like they are better than everyone, why can't an opposing group rally together forces to wipe them from Elanthia? At the least clean up the human settlements and maybe give the elfs a bit of the treatment humans get in the nations. Revoke citizenship, drag em outta town, that sorta thing.

[Asha]

Arkans cleared up the whole thing in the end.
It turned out her RP was kinda water thin.

I tried to be RP king in the past but after a while the same questions, hatred, and responses just ended in combat.
Now I just have my character try to avoid it all.

I'll hunt until I have a 460 CS then just sit in OTA all day, RPing with the people I miss most. Not the cockbags who hang everywhere else.

I agree about the stereotypical Dhe'nar BS. Very few people do that well, and do it consistently well. I haven't RP'd with Fallen's character much, but from what I hear OOC from his collared babe, he does a good job and actually has depth to Evarin beyond "I r badass dark elf kthx."

Another example I would like to highlight (not of race) is the PRO group Naessi runs. We're all Eorginans, but with very different ideas, personalities and quirks that make us very different. It would be so boring to RP with ten clones of Naessi.

-K

[Fallen]

I truly don't understand you, Fengus. What type of roleplay do you support? You do not like Race/culture based roleplay, you dislike religious based RP, profession based RP.

You would have everyone striving to be so incredibly different from each other that there would be no societies. Just a bunch of people doing anything imaginable to appear the slightest bit different from each other.

I suppose, in the end, that is the true fantasy world.

And while I give some credit to the non-hostility based RP, the tart munchers can go to hell, thats so old and weak. Dart and Kodos and all the other min-maxing wizard hafling tart munchers suck ass and leave us today with characters like Augie.

First, that comment wasn't directed at anyone in particular. If you are one of the people who can pull off race RP believably, I salute you. Given the remaining content of your post, you seem to agree that most players cannot manage it (for whatever reason).

As for the second portion of your post, I think that what you can RP is limited only to your imagination. I can see how you may have a point about societies within gemstone, but my character does not crave societies, and I still manage to enjoy my RP time in GS. IMO, it is all what you limit yourself to.

Granted, I doubt you have seen me RP because my characters don't spend much public time. There was a time I enjoyed that, but that time is passed with invariably interruption by people who disrupted my (albeit now limited) gameplay with close friends.
