Four days later and I am still in need of venting!!
Some time back, I did a conversion in the Eorgina Temple. I have had problems in the past with some RP but it was basically my fault for not knowing the answer. The way they formed the question, well it threw me off. I took the blame went on with the zealot RP despite my not really seeing some of the points shown to me ooc'ly about the goddess I chose.
ANYHOW
Some time back Telsas did a conversion. I tried to keep it very IC, even wrote it up very IC' but let me tell you about the crap that really went on.
That candle was melted white cause of other reasons. After putting over 10 mil in that friggen box, we had to assist, I had done a commune during the processes as well. Someone decided to take notice at the same time about the candle as they did to talk to the person I was doing the conversion for.
The GM who did however, MISSED the part what the candle stood for, instead they decided to carve a message into the candle.
Never bring a rose of any other color then a white one into the Temple, do your homework.... (Something to that effect, and pretty close to the wording)
FINE, I went back and finally found the minuscule part about the white rose, which I can't seem to find now explaining why, but I know it exist. Great. The whole thing was a fiasco, and left me wondering why I bother to try and RP in this game.
It bothered me for a long time, but without millions literary I can't just convert Telsas to another Arkati, and would it solve the problem if I did?
I found away to move around it with my character and as a player. Work with what I got, but let go of the Zealot days and the focus of being a Priestess of Eorgina. Anything having to do with the Temple, or heated debates on the topic were no long Telsas forte.(Even though I am pretty sure this is what Telsas is known for mostly)
So its been what a few months, and I hear there is a new twist to Holy receptacles. . . Telsas goes to test it out, senses the perfect room in the Temple and see this emit. . . .
A high priestess approaches the altar, clutching a wild black rose. Touching it to her lips in a reverent kiss, she sets it gently near the central flame.
WTF!!!!!
As a player I went from content to PISSED in 2.3 seconds. I feel like they OWE Telsas something in the way of RP bringing her Back into the fold of the Temple. But really what is the point? This showed me they don't even give a rats ass, and they wonder why the players become jerks and stop RP'n and become blatant OOC.
I am at a lost. . .
I am still posting this even though I wrote it a day ago and held off.
SINCE Then, I have sat in the temple in the same spot for about an hour, and have not seen that emit again. But really, it doesn't take away the fact I did see it in the first place. I am still angry if not as angry over it and need to find options besides just letting it go.
One opition that was offered to me was something called 'Mychar' . . .
If there is any other solutions that might aid me in my RP choices, please feel free to post them.
