That's right, those lovelies are mine.

The second is alright. First is ugly, due to jumbled phrasing.

Then again, I own a Compartmentalized leather scroll satchel.

[Shari]

This may or may not be off-topic, but WTF is up with that tattoo in your signature, Drew?

[Jolena]

Heh, I thought the same damned thing. However, I was completely amused at the laugh Chiv gave after she showed it to him. :D

Haha, I just think it's hilarious that she got a tattoo of an elf guarding her vagina.

[Shari]

Okay, I'm glad you were visualizing it the way I was...how the FUCK she got away with it is another matter entirely. Ick.

[Fission]

She's defending it from creatures, too, instead of, say, men or women or something. Don't know who or what'd find a stack of dead critters there attractive, and not sure I'd want to, either.

[SpunGirl]

That's frightening.

[Hips]

a low-cut black silk bodice laced with a web of archaic scarlet runes

A web made of archaic runes? That's being used to lace a bodice? WTF. It just doesn't make sense.

[Terminator X]

A rugged suede armband.

The armband is well oiled and shows signs of great, great care. Flowing text formed from tiny polished onyx shards skillfully imbedded into the surface read -- "I love it when that candidate with perfect qualities falls into my clutches. They are so easy to corrupt. I gave them a few paltry powers and they gave me their souls. Their greed for power blinded them. Didn't they think there would be a price? Look into your hearts and see yourselves as you truly are; corrupted, blackened, stained by evil!"

[Artha]

You should be dark assassinated for that.

[Jolena]

Oooo, Great GREAT care. And how the HELL did all that fit on an ARMBAND!!!!??!!

Oooo, Great GREAT care. And how the HELL did all that fit on an ARMBAND!!!!??!!

She got away with it because the tattoo is on her thigh, not on the.. um...mound that the elf is protecting. ;)

Lemme think, I probably try and RP things to the effect of my receiving the armband from the Poohbah as some kind of delicously evil token of appreciation, maybe..?

a sinister black eye patch embroidered with a hypnotic white spiral that gives the illusion of constant swirling

[DCSL]

That reminds me of a Marvel comics villian.

[Praefection]

You see Uthenegal Mor'loki the Hoodlum.
He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.
He appears to have one foot in the grave. He has cold, dark amber eyes and black skin. He has cropped, white hair. He has an angular face and sharp pointed ears. Small platinum canines can be glimpsed between his lips.

[Artha]

Why's he eating little platinum dogs?

[Praefection]

Haha. Cause they're tasty!

[DCSL]

a cute little knee-length sage green velvet dress embroidered with modwir leaves and skulls and capped with poofy little sleeves

I died a little inside.

[Jolena]

Aside from being too effin long, wtf-- skulls and modwir trees? :rofl:

[Aaysia]

whoever thinks that's cute needs their brain checked. Twice.

[TheEschaton]

Am I missing something about the dark elf guy? So he has platinum teeth...didn't they sell those at Ebon's Gate one year?


-TheE-

[SpunGirl]

I think the point is that the platinum fangs (or "canines") are part of a feature alteration as being able to constantly glimpse them between his lips. This is as retarded as Sheka's perpetual smirk alteration - no one has their mouth open all the time where you can see their teeth, unless they're some kind of freaky mouth-breather.

-K

[TheEschaton]

Maybe he's a low talker...

...or maybe he has man-hands.

[Fission]

a ruddy purple frill-edged greatcloak embroidered with deadly squirrels along the hem.

If you find squirrels deadly, it's probably time to pack it in on being an adventurer.

[Kitsun]

You do know that squirrels and rats probably have a longer active combat lifetime than most Ithzir and probably a higher kill-count too?

[Czeska]

And you should find out about Chitters, the Terasan chipmunk, if you dont think rodents can kick some ass.

[Shari]

Okay. So this isn't a *really* bad alter...and the only reason why I looked at her was because she was being so fucking annoying in the park...and after I saw her outfit I understood why.

You see Kristen Noble.
She appears to be a Dark Elf.
She appears to be in the bloom of youth. She has long lashes framing her enchanting crystal green eyes and flawless dark skin. She has shimmering, tousled black hair that frames her small shoulders in silken tendrils. She has a set of perfect, pouting red lips that accentuate her delicate face.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing some sparkling starstone hairgems, a wispy silver neckwrap, a charming tight-laced leather corset with small silver wings peeking out the back, a darling little satchel, a delicate silver ring set with an enormous glittering diamond, a dainty wristlet of sparkling silver stars, a whimsical gossamer skirt with long fluttering silken wisps, some ancient silver ankle bands, and a pair of delicate glass slippers with curling toes.


"I'm a cute and pink fuzzy dark elf that bounces around all cutsie fru-fru type PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEE!!!!"

She claimed she was drunk when Nalina started bitching about her behavior. I don't think drunk is the right problem.

[Edited on 1-8-2006 by Shari]

[SpunGirl]

That satchel is annoying me.

-K

[Shari]

Mostly, its the eyelashes FRAMING the eyes...and the hair FRAMING her shoulders that made me twitch at first, and that armor makes me vomit in my mouth, and force me to swallow it back down.

Thesaurus is your friend.

[Edited on 1-8-2006 by Shari]

[SpunGirl]

Once upon a time, I liked to use words like "stunning" in my alterations too. I stopped for the same reason "darling" is retarded - clearly it's not "stunning" or "darling" to everyone.

-K

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Apparently the men think she's hawt, because all they do is talk about sex with her on ooc all day. I dunno who she is but it gets annoying after a bit, especially when all anyone does is cut and paste old ooc chats.

yay for originality...

[DCSL]

That armor, I guess the corset..? Is from her other character Pixy. Actually, I think she shifted over the entire outfit from Pixy. The character Kristen's other stuff is slightly more tasteful and fitting with being a dark elf.

Aside from that, did you see her Psinet nickname? Pirate Hooker Kristen! Heh.

[SpunGirl]

That bothers me. At least she doesn't spell it "Kristin" like I do.

Yay for original names!

Guaranteed she weighs three, maybe four hundred pounds.

[SpunGirl]

I don't know who that wedding dress belongs to, but Merjinia wore it to her first wedding with Diebatil like four years ago. It would be cute except for the feet part, which is creepy, but it looked pretty on her.

You see Kristen Noble.
She appears to be a Dark Elf.
She appears to be in the bloom of youth. She has long lashes framing her enchanting crystal green eyes and flawless dark skin. She has shimmering, slightly tousled sun-kissed blonde hair divided into several elegantly twisted sections and adorned with some twinkling diamonds. She has a set of perfect, pouting red lips that accentuate her delicate face.
She has a pair of sparkling ostentatious diamonds set along the slender tips of her pointed ears.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a rumpled silk overnight bag, a delicate white silk bedsheet cleverly wrapped into a makeshift dress, a sparkling diamond ring, and some oversized fuzzy troll slippers.

Just a selection of the few terrible items I've seen made so far on the WD:

Zimzum hangs a massive crystal amulet with a miniature halfling stuck inside around his neck.

You see Lazater Sontaran the Myrmidon.
He appears to be a Giant.
He appears to have come of age and taller than average. He has abyss-black eyes...

Tinyn offers Ariisal an elven navel ring suspending a dragonfire opal snowflake.
Luckily, we bitched and Tinyn took the word navel out.

I'll be on the lookout for more. :lol:

Did she take "navel" out cause it wasn't in there before? If so, that's good. They're supposed to not make new ones.

Only reason I got mine altered, is because it said navel ring originally, and the merchant made EVERYONE look at it to see she didnt do a new one. :lol:

[B2]

>Did she take "navel" out cause it wasn't in there before? If so, that's good. They're supposed to not make new ones.

She took it out because she thought it was naval. You know, Ashrim, pirates, that whole deal.

She later got angry because apparently people were whispering to her when she did things that were against policy. Knight things, warlord warplates, things like that. She said that she might not like an idea, but it wasn't her place to deny a person something they wanted.

Which, while nice in principle, results in a lot of illegal or just plain bad alters.

[Czeska]

Sounds like someone needs to re-read their GM manual.

She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.
She appears to be young and untried and average height. She has pupiless black-sheened eyes and bronze skin. She has long, glossy black hair swept back from the temples. She has a delicate face, a classical nose and high cheekbones.
She has a curved black diamond bar in the upper ridge of her left ear, a crimson-swept spiral stud in her lip, a tattooed symbol of Andelas on her ear, a cute mouse tattoo on her neck, and a pouncing kitten tattoo on her neck.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a shiny silver waist chain, a gold ring, a small rose, some elven bloodstained robes, a silvery maoral box, a dark spidersilk satchel secured with invar rune-etched buckles, a spiderweb covered weapons harness, a black cat charm bracelet, a black cat's head-etched flask, a thin grey kitten bag with the Cat's Paw constellation embroidered into its surface, a carved onyx cat pin, some pink and black silk cat ears, a tiny furry mouse paw, a cobweb-covered jet black spidersilk cloak edged with silver silk trim, a cat-shaped onyx earcuff, a sinuous black fur tail, a catnip-trimmed black leather collar studded with sharp steel spikes, a pair of knee-high black leather boots ringed with spiked steel studs, a short black leather skirt, a gold ring, a sleek shadowy crystal pendant, a black strapless bodice, a whiskered black cat mask with emerald eyes, and some sparkling crystalline claws.

Jesusmaryandjoseph. Why doesn't she wear a sign, "I LIKE CATS!I R ANDELAS WORSHIPPER THE CAT WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR!"

...and, maybe I'm just irate because she has a stupid name and she sits in the Park and does sorcerer guild reps ALL FUCKING DAY.

[petroglyph]

a deeply hooded black silk cloak subtly crafted to cling to each curve

No. Just. . .no.

Or possibly, "what, like the curve of your beer belly?"

[Czeska]

I know who has that cloak. No, it's not my character. But it doesnt bother me and she told me she got a bunch of compliments on the WD. :shrug:

[DCSL]

I think the objection is that... cloaks are practically shapeless, shrouding items of clothing. It's hard to think of a cloak clinging to every curve 'cause most of the designs I can think of in my head that fits are called something else.

As far as compliments goes... any time someone gets anything remotely sexy, especially if they're a girl IG, people like it. Everyone has their tastes, I guess.

[Kainen]

I wont say who wears it but.. ugh

a shimmering shift made from a deadman's shroud and carefully painted with hellish flames so real that they actually seem to devour the trapped souls among them

Just hate it when people paint all over deadman's clothes, no respect.

Damn, that's some scary underwear.

The best part is that she doesn't wear anything over it. Just that.

[Toxicvixen]

If I ever see her I'm going to scream and yell "YOUR ON FIRE! Oh Wait. Its just hellish flames so very carefully painted on your shift. I see that now."

LMFAO

I would pay you to, I swear it. And.. I've seen that before actually. It was just as hideous then as it is now.

As to the cloak that clings to every curve, it's a no-no because it's A) a cloak, it's loose by nature and unless she has static cling all over her body all the time, it wouldn't 'cling' to every curve at all. Ever.

and B) A cloak that clings to one person's curves wouldn't cling to everyone's curves so it's just wierd to word it like that. And what, when you take it off, it still manages to cling to every curve? I find that a bit hard to believe. "You see curvy woman. She's holding a cloak that manages to cling to every curve in her right hand". Okay so either she has curves in her hand (WTF) or the cloak is magical and seems to be able to cling to her body even when it's not ON it.

Sorry, just a no-no. No matter how many compliments.

Um. There are sheer, transparent fabrics. Gauze is capable of being one of them.

[Drew]

Um. There are sheer, transparent fabrics. Gauze is capable of being one of them.



I can't say I've ever seen a fabric that you couldn't actually see was there. Just for fun, dictionary.com:

trans·par·ent Audio pronunciation of "transparent" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (trns-pârnt, -pr-)
adj.

1. Capable of transmitting light so that objects or images can be seen as if there were no intervening material. See Synonyms at clear.
2. Permeable to electromagnetic radiation of specified frequencies, as to visible light or radio waves.
3. So fine in texture that it can be seen through; sheer. See Synonyms at airy.
4.
1. Easily seen through or detected; obvious: transparent lies.
2. Free from guile; candid or open: transparent sincerity.
5. Obsolete. Shining through; luminous.



So 3 seems to work for it, but I think most everyone thinks of 1 when they hear the word transparent.

[Fission]

Glass is probably one of the first things everyone thinks of as transparent, and you can usually see it/tell that it's there, too.

[DCSL]

I don't think 'transparent' always means 'clear' but I guess I'm not most everyone.

Yeah but clean glass is nearly transparent. You can mostly see it through refraction, not absorption (unless it's really dirty/tinted). I can't think of a cloth that comes anywhere near as transparent as glass. Just playing devil's advocate really, I would have just worded it a bit differently.

[Satira]

I'd consider some of the gauze I've seen transparent.

The definition of transparent didn't exactly support your case of transparent = not visible

[Drew]

Eww.. this is how I would improve that alter:

Ebondale shows you a silvery gossamer gown with a softly gathered bodice bound with silver and emerald ribbons and fitted tightly across the waist and hips with a full swirling skirt studded with starry emeralds.

Some whatkinda sandals? Somebody's got to be kidding!

I found it faintly interesting that the pantaloons were wearing a blouse; however, those sandals made me cringe!

[Shari]

In regards to the bloused pantaloons. I don't look at it the same way you guys do maybe because I'm weird. But I think of billowy, copious amounts of material that cause it to "blouse" out. Many pantaloons have this look in the Renaissance days. If I have time, I'll show off a pair of black silk pantaloons I own to give example. :D

[Czeska]

Agreeing on the pantaloons. .not that i'd buy them, but yes..

intr. & tr.v. bloused, blous·ing, blous·es
To hang or cause to hang loosely and fully.

[SayGoodbye]

The sandals are odd, I'm guessing they lace high and have blossoms on the toes. They could be worded better.

Shari's avatar is great.

[Kierke]

The problem with the pantaloons, as I see it, is not that they blouse, and not that they're black. It's that they're worded oddly.

some black bloused pantaloons

Bloused is an acceptable singular adjective, as is black. But they're worded such that "black" becomes the primary adjective describing a subject, "bloused pantaloons." "Bloused pantaloons," become the proper name for the object, with "black" acting as the modifier.

They'd read better as bloused black pantaloons. That way, you get that they're pantaloons which are black, and also bloused, and not that they're pantaloons somehow oddly paired with a "black blouse."

[Shari]

Sheeezus. Are you an English major? :D

Oh, and <3 my avatar too. Loooove Photobucket.com.

[Kierke]

No. I'm an archaeologist married to an English teacher. It means I approach things methodically...and have an affinity for beautiful language.

[Shari]

Heh, good answer.

Do you specialize in a certain culture/time as far as your archaeology goes?

[Kierke]

The last few summers I've worked in the Mayan areas of Belize, Mexico and Guatemala, and in the Moche area of northern Peru. That's academic archaeology, it's on a "professors get the summer off," schedule.

The rest of the time I've worked for a Cultural Resource Management firm in Texas, doing what is basically salvage archaeology.

Really? That's great! I just started learning how to decipher Maya glyphs. Complicated, but rewarding.

He appears to be very young and taller than average. He has jade green eyes and dark skin. He has long, straight black hair. He has an angular face and high cheekbones.

Locker character most likely. Those bags were made incorrectly (or a GM made it and it accidently got released, depending on who you ask) and they weigh 2 pounds but hold 1000 pounds.

I was just reading about that item on the officials.
Seems like a risky 30m to me.

Plus, Tsin really pisses me off with his '' Haha it's so funny to see how clueless some people are....'' talk.
Ok, of topic rant over.

[Ardwen]

There was no mistake about how they were released, that bag and a good 20+ others were sold by a GM when they left GS, along with a good billion silvers in other gear.


Ardwen

[StrayRogue]

I wonder if Shaukal is both the original, and the old style pre-GS4 ambushing omni cleric he used to be.

As for the GM bags I've been told that should a GM get his hands on them, they'd be destroyed pretty quick. A good number of the 1000 item limit bags have been dyed, so be careful when buying.

I don't have the chiseled jaw, rugged good looks or hairy chest. It's probably for the best though. My husband isn't much into hairy-chested women. He's funny that way.

She looks pretty cute when she's scrunched up in a hole, though.

[Kierke]

What can I say. I'm a dirty, dirty girl.

No. Really. I spend a lot of time covered in dirt!

Also surrounded by cows.

A girl can't help but look more attractive when her competition is a literal heifer.

My art history teacher was an Egyptologist and every summer she would go over to Egypt on digs. I told her I wanted her life. She was hot too, and she was like 50.

[b0nk]

Wow
You guys are brutal. And just think most of my inventory is themed around skulls and barbed wire. I'm hiding from you guys so I do not become part of this thread.

[Kainen]

That might work, cept you never know exactly who is who and one of us might see you anyways hehe.

[Shari]

Skulls and barbed wire are okay so long as they are done tastefully. Something like THIS is not:

some deathy void black leather boots wound with viciously curved barbed wire and studded with rune-carved rat skulls

[CrystalTears]

Does anyone ever visualize in their head what something looks like when they make these things? And they still go with it?

Then again there are women who walk around in spandex who clearly should not, and they had to have looked in the mirror and said "not bad" and walked out.

Sorry. :offtopic:

[Shari]

No, no no no. Jeans, jeans that are 4 sizes too small, and somehow they defy the laws of physics and get them on. And then wear a baby t...and VIOLA! The term "flesh ooze" is born.

[Asha]

a shimmering cloak of indiscernable color that seems to have a life of its own

[Aaysia]

ew... flesh ooze =/

[b0nk]

You know i still have "a shiny black satin top hat" that i want to alter . Mebbe i should let you guys design it for me.

[HarmNone]

a shimmering cloak of indiscernable color that seems to have a life of its own

Heh. Whether it's the color that seems to have a life of its own, or the cloak that seems to have a life of its own, I don't want either of them anywhere near me! That's just scary!:scared2:

[Czeska]

Why do so many of these recent examples remind me of slugs. :shudder:

[Drew]

Skulls and barbed wire are okay so long as they are done tastefully. Something like THIS is not:




Barbed wire would annoy me because it's completely period incorrect. Now I know the type of person to wear barbed wire and skulls most likely wouldn't care about being OOG as long as it looked KEWL but it would actually be more period correct to carry a winchester rifle than have barbed wire on an outfit.

[Shari]

You are absolutely correct about the in-gameness of barbed wire. It wasn't invented yet. If I were designing something LIKE that, it would be more of something to the effect of, a length of wire studded along its length with curling thorns.

That way you could have the dangerous "kewl"ness and still be within the game's peramiters without saying "barbed wire".

[radamanthys]

I had a set of full leather called "some mage's battle leathers". Hated them. Wtf are mage's battle leathers? Doesn't make sense!

Got them altered at EG to "some worn leather armor." I like it alot more.

Good show, though:
Though well-oiled and supple, this set of armor looks to be quite old. Slashes mar its ebon-hued leather, telltale signs of its servitude in battle. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.

now... to get my "a black-rippled enveloping dark cloak" changed...

[Kainen]

Anyone else gag at this...

some pearly pink leather with a gem and coin stuffed chest stitched on the chest

[Ebondale]

At least they could have changed the word 'chest' to coffer, box, trunk, or strongbox. That armor is fucking oogly. Who wears that shit?

[b0nk]

I provided the barbed wire for my alters. They are actually garrots. So they are IC

edited to conclude that barbed wire was not invented till 1873 so the item is out of perriod. Although I still stand on that I used an exsisting item to add to an alter.

[Shari]

I look at it this way. The term "barbed wire" wasn't invented until 1873 when it was used for cattle fencing. I'm SURE that there was wire with some sort of barbed hooks or somesuch on it for a variety of reasons. Off the top of my head I know there is wire you can buy covered in tiny barbs to use as a kindof half-ass pocket saw to use while backpacking. I assume the garrots in game function the same way.

[SayGoodbye]

Urloia offers Girad a slashed black bankbook etched with the image of a ranger assassin.

Heh I always love when someone relates GS timeline to our own timeline. We have glasses with windshield wipers and shoes that have Inspector Gadget jumping ability, but we worry about something like barbed wire...

Anyways...

There is plenty of it in game, just go to playershops.com and search for barb.

[Jolena]

Who knew there was such a market for offing rangers?


I really don't like these things. How would you know it's an assasin or a ranger to begin with? Ugh. I'm so glad I am past those days when I did things like that.

[The Ponzzz]

And on topic, who the fuck released this shit into the game...

a razern inlaid suit of armor with runes of destruction carved into the armor

[Aaysia]

Kelau removes some tight form-fitting leathers which shift in shades of blue at every feminine curve from in her single-strapped knapsack.

[SayGoodbye]

Ugh.. shoot her, strip her, burn it all.

[Latrinsorm]

By far, the worst alter I have ever seen. Even worse than JD's:

Iculius just opened a shady black cloak with strange red marks that appear to be bloodstains at first but resolve into hideous runes that bespeak words of death and terrible agony.

[HarmNone]

Ugh.. shoot her, strip her, burn it all.

Umm, think about that. Do you really want to strip the person who is probably wearing this get-up? Do you wanna look at that? Just burn 'em dressed. It'll save you a lot of grief. ;)

[Hips]

some heavenly angel wings crafted from whispery soft golden-tipped white feathers

[Aaysia]

whispery soft ftl. I thought heavenly angels don't exist in elanthia? where do people GET these things altered. >.<

[Snapp]

By far, the worst alter I have ever seen. Even worse than JD's:

Holy Crap! That needs to be dropped in the barrel ASAP!!

[Asha]

Wow, so any character in the lands which sees that can decypher runezz of deth!
Awesome.

[Jolena]

whispery soft ftl. I thought heavenly angels don't exist in elanthia? where do people GET these things altered. >.<

apparently you've not seen the ending logs of the Griffon Sword Saga. Wings are very much in existence just like angels are. :/

[Asha]

Vivecar just opened some ivory-white ceremonial robes magnificently set with soulstones in ancient runes symbolizing the cycle of life and death.

[Aaysia]

apparently you've not seen the ending logs of the Griffon Sword Saga. Wings are very much in existence just like angels are. :/

I did see it. I got confused by it cuz I thought Gosaena's angels weren't supposed to look like 'heavenly angels'. Meh. Was a pretty sickle though..

[Jolena]

You see Stinkey.
He appears to be a Burghal Gnome of the Nylem Bloodline.
He appears to be very young and diminutive. He has bulging light hazel eyes and ashen skin. He has raggedly cut, stringy dark brown hair with tufts of grey behind the ears. He has a plump face, a bulbous nose and a tangled grey beard.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a lumpy and filthy pillow sewn together out of old socks and stuffed with tiny pebbles in his right hand.
He is wearing a crystal amulet, a silver-bladed dagger medallion, a hooded shadowy black gnomish prankster's cloak sewn completely out of dirty old socks, some double leather, a small metal device, a shadowy black gnomish device etched with an assortment of gears and gadgets, a shadowy black gnomish prankster's bag of tricks sewn entirely out of dirty old socks, a leather tinker gnome toolkit, some discolored skunk hide bloomers riddled with a multitude of holes, some socks, a shadowy black mithril-bound buckler, and a dark rat-shaped backpack.


Not that these alters are just horrendous because they aren't. The pillow made me chuckle anyhow. But..do you think he has enough things made of dirty old socks? And this is just a pet peeve, but how do I know that this is a gnomish prankster's cloak or a gnomish prankster's bag of tricks?

[Stanley Burrell]

"some socks" is a very disappointing coup de grace in lieu of all that sockiness (unless they were like, ear-worn or something?)

And those bloomers are definitely the shiznits on par with Plur's diaper... :wasntme:

[Praefection]

Yummy!

Kritz works her way into a slinky black body-suit revealingly ripped along the seams and stitched with a rune-etched scarab, fitting it comfortably.

[Shari]

Um, how the fuck do you stitch something up with a little stone-petrified bug?

[Fission]

Kritz works her way into a slinky black body-suit revealingly ripped along the seams and stitched with a rune-etched scarab, fitting it comfortably.

Given the ripping at the seams, the first image I get is that she's a bit too hefty for her bodysuit and ripped it from the inside out. Yum indeed.

[Shari]

Oh STITCHED, as in embroidered. I'm an idiot.

Its still hideous.

[DCSL]

A bunch of her clothing is ripped. I remember a slinky black velvet skirt ripped along a side seam to form an alluring slit? Something like that.

[Stanley Burrell]

I've think Vincenzo has a bottle of Southern Comfort. It's pretty cool.

[Skeeter]

Given the ripping at the seams, the first image I get is that she's a bit too hefty for her bodysuit and ripped it from the inside out. Yum indeed.

She used to be hot, but couldn't ever lose the pregnancy weight.

Picture Britney spears wearing some of her old outfits.

[SpunGirl]

If the seams are all ripped, how does it even stay ON? What clusterfuck of a GM even allowed that?

-K

[Shari]

Devilslove reaches out and touches something in a backlaced tightly-fitted bodice embroidered with the image of a broken white skull entwined with a black rose bearing a single thorn adorned with a crimson blood drop.


JESUSMARYANDJOSEPH that is the fugliest bodice I have ever seen.

[Jolena]

....
that fucking bodice description is LONG
Oh. My. God.



..going to puke now, mmkthx.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

O_o I suddenly find myself happy at the major enforcement of the 15 words or less rule GMs have been using regarding long descriptions, heh!

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

Isondra points at a veil-iron banded matte black runestaff carved with ancient runes and sigils.
>
Beryl beams!

Beryl nods.

Beryl says, "Thankye."


Good gods I thought this kinda crap was sposed to die out a few years back.

Ancient runes and sigils.. veil-iron.. matte black. How inspired. What a perfectly horrible waste of a perfectly good alteration session. This runestaff makes baby Jesus cry.

[Skeeter]

makes me wonder if Beryl has been purchased

[Jolena]

hehe, I'm one of the dorks I guess, because I like matte black!


Aaaaand, I have a runestaff for my Sylvan with some runes along the length, although they are faded, does that count? :whine:

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

hehe, I'm one of the dorks I guess, because I like matte black!


Aaaaand, I have a runestaff for my Sylvan with some runes along the length, although they are faded, does that count? :whine:

Knowing the quality of your alterations, I don't think you'll EVER be in this folder, hah!

The way I see it, some runes/sigils are ok, and matte black has it's place.. but alllllllll of this stuff combined, with veil iron, in a very uninspired alteration.. gah!

[Jolena]

I agree that the combination is pretty bleh, so I'll just take that ego stroke and say thanks! MUAH!

[Rune]

From today:
Rigiletto removes an emerald-capped invar-trimmed runestaff with the image of a giantkin wizard throwing a fireball at an ice wraith engraved on the shaft from in his leather weapons harness.

Now, I'm sorry, but to me stuff like this is just annoying. It reminds me of primitive man drawing hieroglyphics on their weapons or something.

Along the same lines, this guy dates back several years. I don't know if he's a GM character, merchant, or an event character or what, since I never saw him before or after this capture. Behold crappy alters galore, not to mention I can't even picture most of them.


You see Tybaek Entaradius the Elf.
He appears to be in his 170's, has unkempt, long silver hair, green eyes, and fair skin.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a starstone-hilted mithglin katana engraved with ancient runic sigils in his right hand and a ancient rune-etched rolaren aegis emblazoned with the image of a male and female elf, snuggled together under a full moon in his left hand.
He is wearing a starstone embossed silver-threaded sheath embroidered with images of peace and harmony, an intricately engraved veil iron talisman, a pure white cloak embroidered with the image of an Elven ranger standing before a dense forest, a prismatic Vaalor defender ring, a pair of silver boots crafted in the shape of daggers and embroidered with the image of a glowing white sword on a field of black, a pair of white starstone clasped gloves with rubies embossed in the knuckles, some pure white Elven armor emblazoned with the image of a rampant silver dragon on a field of red, underlying interlocking silver infinity symbols in the shape of a sword, and the word, "Subversion", an ancient Elven amulet, a diamond dusted silver gem pouch embroidered with the image of a thief kneeling before a wise elf, and the word "Consequences", a silver runic pendant, a silver Vaalor crested weapons harness, a glowing arcane symbol engraved with the image of a ranger kneeling before an altar, a pure white veil iron pendant engraved with the image of a Ranger in front of a massive void on a field of gules, a pulsating white diamond clasp, a pulsating black deathstone clasp, a pulsating blue sapphire clasp, a pulsating red ruby clasp, a well crafted veil iron key suspended from a silver thread, a silver edged glaes pin, a pure white cape embroidered with the royal Vaalor insignia, a gold ring and a gold leather herb pouch.

Just blah..
I dislike most "image' stuff.. a few times I've seen it done well but mostly, bleh.

And that entire outfit.. somany things wrong with it. Rubies EMBOSSED into the gloves? And how do you embroider a metal? Feh. Just dumb. Dumb dumb dumb.

[Amber]

Not to mention he's wearing both a cape and a cloak.

[Shari]

And I don't even care she's a Dark Elf wearing this shit:

You see Kristen Noble.
She appears to be a Dark Elf.
She appears to be in the bloom of youth. She has long lashes framing her enchanting crystal green eyes and flawless dark skin. She has shimmering, slightly tousled sun-kissed blonde hair that frames her small shoulders in silken tendrils. She has a set of perfect, pouting red lips that accentuate her delicate face.
She has a simple black design inked upon the small of her back.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a sparkling pink faewood runestaff in her right hand.
She is wearing a beautiful strand of delicate black pearls, an expansive over-the-shoulder shopping bag, a stylish pale pink silk totebag, a delicate pink silk-wrap bodice, a stylish silver charm bracelet, a sparkling diamond ring, a teensy pink silk-wrap puppy carrier, a skimpy white pleated skirt, some vintage white leather knee-high walking boots, and a delicate teardrop ruby pendant.


WTF is up with that skirt and boots!?!

[Jolena]

Oh damn, Michiko showed me that shit last night. :gag: The whole teensy dog carrier, the skimpy skirt..Paris Hilton in School Girl garb much? YUCK.

[DCSL]

Heh, it really is supposed to be Paris Hilton. I gather Kristen's as much as said she doesn't give a shit about roleplaying or being IG. It enables her to have a total lack of shame.

[Hips]

I'll say the same thing I told Bree the other night when I showed her this outfit...
Whichever GM made the "skimpy" skirt should be shot.

[Jolena]

And wtf is up with the enchanting eyes..

[Shari]

Out of all of it, the "vintage" boots are bugging the shit out of me. Mostly because I find the word "vintage" a very this-century word.

[Aaysia]

everything is sparkly and delicate it's too much.

As for her features, I know almost every girl character in gs is gorgeous, with the perfect body etc but this is overkill. Expand your vocab and find words other than sparkling and delicate >.<. I get the image that she hits the sun and the bling-bling off her stuff blinds people.

And ditto about the 'vintage' boots.

[Jolena]

<She has a simple black design inked upon the small of her back.>

THIS is what really kills me.. she has a tramp stamp.

[SpunGirl]

God, I fucking hate that her character has the same RL name as me. If she was cool it probably wouldn't irk me so much, but you could make an entire thread just out of HER horrid alterations. Bedsheet dress, anyone!?!??!

-KristIn

[SpunGirl]

PS The blonde hair and green eyes with the dark elven skin are a bit much, too. It reminds me of when you see really dark-skinned black women dye their hair blonde. IT JUST DOESN'T GO.

-K

[Fission]

The pink and the puppy carrier made me think Legally Blonde more than anything else.

[Augie]

It's a black Paris Hilton! Mebbe next she can design a Foxy Cleopatra look like Beyonce in Austin Powers.

[Kierke]

a medallion made from swirls of gold and silver, etched with scales on the face and inscribed with words of power along the edge reading, "Crime and Retribution: pay heed"

If there is a celestial kingdom of bad alterations, Seus is some kind of god.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

Well.. Kristen HAS said that she doesn't care about RP or being in genre.. so I just chuckle at the stuff she has made and carry on.

Beyond the whole out of genre/non RP thing, I like Kristen and I do find her alterations to be clever..

and, while the bedsheet dress may not be "appropriate" I wouldn't consider it out of genre.. It's not infeasible for someone to figure out how to wrap and pin a bedsheet so it's a covering like a dress. I mean given the other crazy stuff in Elanthia, I don't find that far-fetched..

I thnik it's the combination of items that are far-fetched, I spose. I wouldn't put them in bad alters (except for that dog carrier, because it IS too Paris Hiltonish and I HATE PARIS HILTON). I'm just grateful it's not rune and sigil covered and oozing with Doom and shadowy stabbity death.

I do agree on the features too- I hate enchanting eyes, and the blonde hair seems odd on a dark elf. Oh well though. :/

[DCSL]

Heh, I generally like Kristen's player, but now she's just not even trying!

some oversized bright pink star-shaped spectacles with dark tinted lenses

Oh, and I think she's put this on to stop the comments about a blonde dark elf:

She has stylishly bobbed, bright pink hair pulled back from her face with a dainty little barrette.

[thornhappy]

I like Kristin's player as well. Some of her alter ideas are adorable, and some are just downright OOC and OOG.. It's a mixed bag.

I agree about the dark elven skin not exactly looking stellar with the hair.. and the lips strike me as rather bizzare as well. I kinda just humor her, and laugh a little when she shows me the next ridiculous thing that she's managed to get away with. That wrap bodice or whatever in the example is actually altered female-fitting armor... heh. And the puppy tote has a little dog in it. :stare:

I don't like that she creates so many of the Illegal-Sukaraesque-Alters that're around these days, but truely none of them are as bad as they could be. She really -doesn't- care about anything but the 'clothes', and has said as much. Whatever makes the game fun for you, I guess. She isn't standing out in public talking about stats and such, so I can't complain.

-the thorn in some ranger's ass.

[DCSL]

Better change that "Kristin" to Kristen! SpunGirl's Kristin around here, heh.

[thornhappy]

Meh, let's just pretend I changed it. Kristen. Sorry Kristin.

I like you too. But you have nicer alters. ;)

[Latrinsorm]

She isn't standing out in public talking about stats and such, so I can't complain.Yeah you can. OOGness should be absolutely unacceptable, and the change starts with you and me.

[Jolena]

I feel inspired suddenly!

[thornhappy]

I simply meant that there are so many other things that I could expend my energy on wanting to change, rather then getting angry over alters with slightly OOG shows...

Like people screaming about AS/DS and how their bought character's stats suck.. etc.

[Drew]

Sunstar put an ancient shadowy black metal cuirass with viciously sharp urglaes shoulder-spikes and veil iron etchings of Vel'Athorre on the chest in his azure silk robe.

[Praefection]

Just... ick.

You see Jinsem Spell-Weaverr.
He appears to be a Halfling.
He appears to be advanced in years and tiny. He has clouded over blood-crusted eyes and pox infested skin. He has long, fiery red hair with charcoal lined streaks running through it. He has a bloodless skeleton-like face, a bitten off nose and a small scar of a pentagram centered over his right eye.
He has a green-crusted bronze spike in his lip, and a solid black ruby-tipped pentagram tattoo on his face.

[Jolena]

Wow..talk about a errm..unique character. His features alone are enough to drive the old Hag from Solhaven to tears of fear, I would guess.

If he weren't nekked, I'd honestly say he was well put together if skeery and disgusting was what he was going for.

talk about small penis complex

[Praefection]

Call me stupid but isn't that Latin?

Bloodthorn tightly flexes his muscles and displays a glorious sunrise tattoo with the words 'corruptio optimi pessima' amongst delicate scrollwork on his arm.

[Rune]

Yes that's latin. It means roughly.. "Corruption of the best is worst.", if I remember correctly.

Edit: And now that I think about it... a long time ago I remember trying to get a shield emblazoned with the words "Memento Mori", Latin for "Remember you are mortal." or "Remember you will die.", GM said Latin was OOG and no go. So I guess things have changed just a bit.

[Shari]

Or the GM behind it simply wasn't educated enough to recognize Latin.

[Stanley Burrell]

Or the GM behind it simply wasn't educated enough to recognize Latin.

That's O.K.

The GMs *cough*Kyalia*cough* sometimes let a few things slip by the barricades.

[Daeffodill (subdued)]: "Selling "a wickedly sharp crimson witch's staff crowned with a dragonmist crystal wrapped in an aged strand of poison ivy" ..6x enchanted runestaff ..prof based actions .. 7mil Flat! TTM"

They're both damn ugly.

Edit:

[Daeffodill (subdued)]: "Selling "a small powder pink staff covered with tiny white mouse paw prints and capped with a grinning baby mouse" ..6x enchanted runestaff ..prof based actions .. 7mil Flat! TTM"

Good God she has three of them.

[Latrinsorm]

A wickedly sharp... staff? Brain hurts. :(

[Shari]

Oy vey.

I seriously think the people in Ta'Illistim have to be the worst dressed.

a black cloak of darkness enruned with ancient symbols encompassing the powers of the greater demonic

Jesus Praefection, don't ruin the wearer's reputation, they're EEEEEEEVIL.

/sarcasm

[Praefection]

I remember the glitter from the first WD voyage. I didn't get a change to actually look at her but the features make me want to puke. I think I read/heard this is Kristen's other character so I guess it makes sense.
Name: Pixy

Race: Sylvankind Gender: Female
She appears to be extremely young and shorter than average.
She has mischievously twinkling blue eyes and fair skin.
She has knee-length, shimmering blonde hair that falls over her delicate shoulders in a mass of leaf-strewn tangles.
She has an impish face dusted with glitter across her cheeks and glossy pale silver lips that form a delicate heart shape.

[Jinsem]

Poor halfling.. looks like a demented sorcerer's experiment

Kinda what I was going for, thanks :)

Jinsem
Mini-Skeletor apparently.

[Aaysia]

In that case you did a kickass job. I just felt sorry for him, it looks painful lol

Would be much more acceptable.

Yeah, Pixy or whatever the hell her name is Kristin's alt. She's an empath in Illistim, and she's wearing that god-aweful Paris Hilton getup on her with that puppy carrier and the vintage boots.

Why the fuck play a game if you're going to be so OOG about it? Go to a fucking chat room if you wanna yack it up with friends.

Chat rooms don't have alterations? I dunno.. I don't have a problem with it. I'd rather see nicely done OOG items than poorly done technically IG stuff.

Like.. I'd rather see a pink doggy carrier with diamond studs on it than a deadman's death shroud that pulsates with doom and drips the blood of a crone's last period or some sick and stupid thing like that. That's just me though. I ignore the OOG stuff.

[Shari]

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, I guess.

I just don't see how you can justify OOG items, but say things like a puppy carrier or vintage boots are okay. So I suppose when Kristin gets a sparkly pink cellphone case it would be better than someone having a satchel embroidered with the runes of tortured souls?

[Latrinsorm]

If I was in charge she'd be locked out by now. GemStone isn't a playground, it's a role-playing game.
I ignore the OOG stuff.I wish I could also lock you out as an accomplice/enabler, but I guess I'd have to settle for a warning to be fair.

[Praefection]

Errrm yeah. They're so swirly and pretty!

He has kaleidoscopic ocean blue eyes

[Krendeli]

I'm suprised none of the stuff I wear never made it out here.

>inv
You are wearing a dirt-covered rabbit fur hat, a tree bark amulet, a sinuous gold dragon talisman with sapphire-inlaid scales, a high warlord's fortress key suspended from a silver necklace, a supple leather traveling cloak splotched with dried pine tar and mud, an intricately carved wooden medallion, a glyph-etched dragonfire opal stickpin, a ragged black satin vest covered in a thin veil of dust, a sapphire-eyed mithril dragon armband, some ripped leather hunting gloves covered in blood-stained animal fur, some blackened veniom cufflinks, a sylvan-crafted maple composite bow adorned with fine mithril leaf, a black vruul hide climbing pack clasped with a dragon clutching three small silver arrows, a scorched black leather jerkin tied with a frayed cotton rope, a tarnished copper wristlet, a polished platinum skull ring embedded with emerald eyes, a gold ring, a knotted viperskin bow case, an enruned dark mithril scroll case, a slashed leather knife belt and some mud-caked dark grey suede boots laced with dried animal intestine.

[SpunGirl]

Dude, leaf-tangled hair? Get a hairbrush and take a bath.

[Shari]

what the mother FUCK

You see Narci R'flection.
She appears to be a Giant.
She appears to be youthful. She has sleepy jade green eyes and lily white skin. She has long, shimmering violet hair piled up on top of the head in a collection of large cylinders and covered with sheer grey netting. She has an oval face, a classical nose and high cheekbones.
She has a tiny bloodjewel stud in her left nostril.
She has some old neck wounds, a mangled right arm, old battle scars on her left arm, old battle scars on her right leg, old battle scars on her left leg, old battle scars on her right hand, old battle scars on her left hand, an old battle scar across her chest, several painful-looking scars across her abdominal area, several painful-looking scars across her back, a black-and-blue right eye, a black-and-blue left eye, developed slurred speech, and a scar across her face.
She is holding a backpack in her right hand.
She is wearing a delicate red crystal rose, a blackened vultite tower shield, a crystal-set white gold collar, a tiny pink crystal-beaded fetish, a sumptuous silver-grey fox fur blanket adorned with a large pentagram cloakpin, a soft blue cashmere blanket, a tiny grape cluster charm, a star-dotted charcoal satin blindfold, a tiny charcoal sleepy-looking lizard, a cloudy glass chain-strung phial, a sturdy canvas herb satchel, a floor-length fuzzy chenille robe, a soft grey flannel nightgown trimmed with a row of small pentagram-shaped buttons, a wrist sheath, a violet crystal-inset ring, a wide fuzzy jade green sash, a bulging soft grey pillowcase trimmed with embroidered jade ribbons, a grey flannel overnight bag, a cricket box, some warm fur-lined house shoes with jade green trim, and a freshly-cut flamestalk tucked behind one ear.

I don't even know where to BEGIN with this.

I think...yeah, the hair has got to be the WORST part...but lemme think about it.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

I'd like to say that Narci is why I call Narcissiia Issi for short. Because when I first said Narci, people mistakened me for.. Narci's player. So for all of you that don't know why I reacted so horribly to being called Narci-- NOW YOU KNOW.

[Jolena]

Okay I know I'm going to just get reamed for this one, and trust me *I* wouldn't personally have a character dressed like this for a few reasons (including that she's got WAY too much on). However...

all in all, she's got a theme going on. She's supposed to look like she's in PJ's, sleepy, houseshoes, etc. That being said, the hair and outfit are kind of appropriate for what she's going for. And really..aside from the incredible amount of crap she's got on, it's not that bad IMHO. :duck:

[Czeska]

Gonna have to agree. I think it's too much stuff, and it's not a look I'd personally go for... but it's not "bad". Just scary!

[HarmNone]

Maybe, if she shed the shield....

It's bad enough to see ladies going hunting in ballgowns and heels. Going hunting in one's nightclothes is unthinkable. ;)

[Aaysia]

maybe she's sleep-hunting :lol:

agreed with Jo and Mir, at least she has a theme.

[Skeeter]

ok wait. so the hair is supposed to be up in curlers?

that's pretty fucking horrible

[thornhappy]

That'd be another of Toy's sit-afk-in-TSC characters..

[Kierke]

Yay, I thought she only won the March premium contest with two accounts, but she actually won with three? Fun.

I've definitely seen way worse, but when it comes to a little bit OOG outfits, I'd prefer to see/be around Kristen's. Because at least then they're ordered and kept down in number, heh!

[Jolena]

That'd be another of Toy's sit-afk-in-TSC characters..


Incorrect, that is not one of Toy's characters.

[thornhappy]

Okay. I'd beg to differ, since I was told she was by several people, but maybe she's a 'community' character. Who knows, these days.

[StJimmy]

Speaking of Toy, she's got to have some of the ugliest/sluttiest feature alterations I've seen.

[Shari]

Jolena, typically I wouldn't care. But if the GMs are going to have a shit-fit about not having feature alters that IRL could have a tendency to be removed....ie: glitter, nail polish, beads, feathers, leaves, etc...I wouldn't care.

But hair curlers are okay?

wtf.

[Jolena]

oh I agree with you on that one, most def.

[Amber]

It took me TWO years to get a wearable pillowcase made. Even though I had a non-wearable one already, nobody would make it wearable or change a wearable case into a pillowcase for me. I thought mine was unique in the lands. Now I'm sad to see that someone with curlers has one too. :(
Mine's much nicer though!

[Jolena]

Leash has a pillow case as well I believe that he keeps is loot in from stealing. It's wearable as well.
