"Giantman casually runs the tip of his tongue over the point of one of his razor-sharp fangs, somehow managing to appear both threatening and seductive at the same time."

I don't even know what to say so I'll just start with this:

Imagine someone, in real life, has filed down their teeth, and proceeds to run the tip of his tongue over the point.

Is this seductive? Is it even threatening? I'd say yes, if only in the way a flaming trainwreck is a the same time threatening and yet seductive.

If you are an Ann Rice fan then probably.

Most of the GS population then.
Besides it's not meant to envision someone with filed down teeth, it's someone wearing stylized fake fangs.
Which is almost as stupid as wearing fake wings.

Giantman

Tell me this is just you not saying the individuals name.

Those are fake fangs (there are two varieties) that are worn, but don't appear on that person's inventory or otherwise when you look at that person. They don't even appear to the person wearing them if they do an INV command. They're scripted, obviously, and they were from the Ebon's Gate in 2001. They were made by Elbrion. I just had a pair of mine stat enhanced a few months ago.

And to address FinisWolf's concern, the OP substituted the identity of the owner of those fangs.

The fangs might have been released in Ebon's Gate 2002, but I seem to remember them being released in 2001. Either way, it was one of those two years.

That was a good idea, getting those enhanced over something else.. Having them disappear etc.. Too bad there aren't more things that disappear like that.

Heh, I loved those fake fangs. They were my favorite purchase during that Ebon's Gate.

Once I have enough PP's, I'll be doing the same thing. They're the perfect thing for stat enhancers... you put 'em on and forget about them.

Whatever happened to the whole "We don't do scripts that tell others how they're feeling?" or whatever it was, stemmed from the musical instruments?

Ehhh.

If such an idea existed, it was pretty short-lived.

Well the thing about the instrument scripts was addressed and not sure if it was changed, but the fangs were created before that debate came up.

Several items have been mass-fixed due to shitty subjective messaging. They have to be pretty bad, though, before they will reach into the past to alter them.

When I first read this threat title I thought it was going to be about Moondia's spellcasting hairtangling.

-K, nothing else to contribute

Spun is all nostalgic today. Wow Moondia's hair-tugging, side-glance action. :lol: Almost forgot about that. She played a cleric that did the same exact thing. Great, stupidity runs in the family.

Dianatrue was the cleric. I still see them both pop in to play in the early AM.

Now I need to know more, I could use a laugh today. Someone enlighten me please?

Short version is every time Moondia casts a spell, her custom prep phrase has some gay shit about her fingers getting tangled up in her hair and I think some sparks flying around that singe her hair too.

It's not bad the first time you see it. Every time after that = http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a162/DoyleHargraves/8468a5a1.gif

I love that picture.

It was also when she would thank someone for a tip after she healed them. Her hair would get caught on the hilt of her sword which would cause her to look at you sideways. Yes, first couple of times it's cute. Everytime it's annoying.

Was that her with the broomstick smile action?

I thought it was creepy because I would always imagine a vacant stare, kinda like a doll's.

I agree that the phrasing was overdone. On the other hand she was/is a super nice person/character.
CrystalTears
08-02-2007, 11:16 AM
Oh she's a VERY nice person, which made it that much harder to deal with. You didn't want to say anything to her about it because you didn't want to hurt her feelings. But omg, you really wanted to though.

Kinda like this other person I used to see in Solhaven all the time that she was convinced she was a kobold and had on a kobold tail. I would just pat her on the head and smile. Can't remember if she was a Zelia follower or not.

I think I remember someone with a sword that "pulses l33t-deathly-doomage with every single beat of your heart" or something like that.

That one random Darkstone message where an entire lifetime goes by is up there too.

Do her fingers get caught up seductively in her hair? Because that would be boss.

And yes that picture is awesome.

I think it's more along the lines of bumbling and clumsy. Depending on who you are, that may or may not be seductive.

I can't imagine she has any hair left...
