The Betraylal of Ismurii

[Morgannis]

It's pretty long. Rated PG-13 for some sexual content. It may or may not make your rofl. Gotta give credit to her for being a good sport about it and keeping it IG. I had to break it up into two parts via post and a reply. Enjoy...

[Onoir, Court of Chivalry]
Moonlight filters through the branches of an ancient elm located in the center of this aesthetic courtyard, reflecting upon the surface of a waterfall fountain along the main cobblestone path. Carefully tended wildflowers, grasses, and pathways comprise the remaining area, accented by a solitary wooden bench. The soothing chirping of crickets and the occasional hooting of owls fill the air, a peaceful counterpoint to the stout granite towers equipped with ballistae in each corner of the courtyard. You also see the Ismurii disk, some arched wooden double doors, a tranquil path and a raised portcullis.
Also here: Ismurii
Obvious paths: none

Ismurii's runestaff glows and slowly wraps itself around her waist.

Ismurii says, "I never been here before."

You say, "I just found it earlier today."

Speaking to you, Ismurii asks, "So did you have fun at the festival?"

You nod to Ismurii.

You sit down.

Ismurii says, "I didn't know there was a festival."

Ismurii sits down.

You say, "It was a convocation at the coraesine fields."

Ismurii exclaims, "Oh!"

Ismurii says, "Someone asked me if I wanted to go."

You say, "Many many merchants."

You ask, "Why didnt you?"

Ismurii says, "I thought it was just for warriors and rogues or people who use weapons."

You shake your head.

You say, "It was open for all."

Ismurii asks, "I really missed out then, didn't I?"

You nod to Ismurii.

Ismurii frowns.

You reach under your double leather and give your banshee tattoo a little poke. It seems to give a small start and lumbers over to your neck before settling down.

You smile.

Ismurii says, "Oh well."

Ismurii blinks.

You reach over to your banshee tattoo and give it a little poke. It gives a small start and lumbers over to your leg before settling down.

You reach over to your banshee tattoo and give it a little poke. It gives a small start and lumbers over to your arm before settling down.

You reach over to your banshee tattoo and give it a little poke. It gives a small start and disappears behind the double leather covering your chest.

Ismurii asks, "Did you just get that?"

You work your way out of some spiked double leather.
Removing your leather uncovers your banshee tattoo.

You nod to Ismurii.

You take a quick appraisal of Ismurii and find that she has no apparent injuries.

You work your way into some spiked double leather.
The leather covers your banshee tattoo.
Roundtime: 8 sec.

Ismurii ponders.

Ismurii curiously asks, "Did it hurt?"

Ismurii flaps her wings in a steady beat.

You shake your head.

You say, "She was gentle."

You pull the hood of your cloak down over your face, concealing your features.

Ismurii blinks.

The dull golden nimbus fades from around you.

Ismurii says, "I can't see you."

You remove the hood of your cloak, revealing your features.

You exclaim, "Boo!"

Ismurii gasps.

Ismurii clasps her hand over her mouth.

You grin.

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

Ismurii asks, "So did you notice anything?"

You peer quizzically at Ismurii.

Ismurii winks at you, tossing her head and striking a pose.

>l at ismu
You see Ismurii Waldorf the Nurse.
She appears to be an Aelotoi of the Mrae'ni Clan.
She is shorter than average and appears to be youthful. She has sultry umber eyes and olive skin. She has long, curly autumn brown hair arranged in an intricately twisted roll at the back of her head and held in place by some golden hummingbird hairjewels. She has an oval face and a narrow waist. She has a pair of emerald green wings.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing an opaque glass amulet, a fragrant white lily, a lacquered modwir keg pin, a short apricot gown with a low-cut bodice and flaring multi-layered skirts, a faded taupe satchel, some double leather, a rune belt, a deep plum velveteen bag embossed with grape vines, and some calf-wrapped plum silk slippers.

Speaking disappointedly to you, Ismurii asks, "You didn't notice, did you?"

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

You stare at Ismurii.

You look at Ismurii and shake your head.

Ismurii bites her lip.

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

(Ismurii stretches out her hands towards you.)

Ismurii asks, "See?"

You grin.

You take off a tiny pale winter rose.

You offer your winter rose to Ismurii, who has 30 seconds to accept the offer. Click CANCEL to prematurely cancel the offer.

You grin.

You pull Ismurii closer to you.

Ismurii bites her lip.

You wave your winter rose around.

Tracing a fingertip along the stem of your rose, you manage to prick your finger on a thorn. As you watch, a plump bead of crimson wells against the skin.

Ismurii slowly says, "If I take it..."

Cupping the blossom of the rose in the cradle of your hands, you bring the flower to your face and inhale deeply of its intense and heady fragrance.

You glance at Ismurii.

Ismurii says, "Does it mean... that..."

Your offer to Ismurii has expired.

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "I talked with some of my friends about you."

You think to yourself, "I cannot wait for the wedding day to kill her. I must do it now."

You blink at Ismurii.

Speaking to Ismurii, you ask, "What did you talk about?"

You think to yourself, "Muhahahahahaha!"

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "I have never been so anxious to know what more someone had to say than you."

The sense of peace and security begins to wane from the area.

You grin.

Speaking slowly to you, Ismurii says, "You just... really surprised me, but I liked it, and I couldn't wait to talk to you again."

You smile.

You say, "I like those words."

Ismurii says, "But I will tell you one thing... you know how to make a woman go mad."

Ismurii shakes her head.

You blink.

You ask, "You are mad at me?"

Speaking amusedly to you, Ismurii says, "No, I mean mad, like... mental."

Ismurii starts chortling.

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

You ask, "Did I do something mean?"

Ismurii flutters her wings, stirring the air slightly.

Ismurii says, "Well, no."

Ismurii says, "You did break your promise though."

You sigh.

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "And I am not mad."

You say, "I waited..."

Ismurii quickly says, "Mad as in angry."

Ismurii clears her throat.

You smile.

You say, "I had every intention of using the potion."

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "But, I also understand that things do come up."

Ismurii asks, "Potion?"

You grin.

You say, "The love potion."

Ismurii says, "Oh, right."

Ismurii removes a black glass vial painted with nacreous nightshade from in her taupe satchel.

Ismurii asks, "This one?"

You chortle.

You nod to Ismurii.

Ismurii asks, "How long do these last?"

You say, "I've never seen one before you showed it to me."

Ismurii says, "I haven't taken it out of my satchel for a long long time."

Ismurii says, "Hmm."

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

Speaking to you, Ismurii asks, "You took it?"

Ismurii glances at a black glass vial painted with nacreous nightshade in her hand.

You shake your head.

You ask, "Want me to?"

Ismurii giggles.

You ask, "Maybe you were talking to someone else?"

You frown.

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "I was talking to you, Morgannis."

You smile.

Ismurii says, "My memory isn't that bad."

Ismurii says, "I assure you."

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "But..."

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "Why would we toy with this if we aren't sure of its full effects or how long it lasts."

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "It could get us in trouble, you know."

Speaking to Ismurii, you say, "It doesnt even guarantee to make us do the things that we'd want."

Ismurii raises an eyebrow.

Ismurii curiously asks, "What do we want?"

You pull Ismurii closer to you.

You cuddle closely with Ismurii, smiling.

You give Ismurii a lingering kiss on the wrist.

You gaze fondly at Ismurii.

Ismurii grins slowly.

You smile.

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "Tell me everything we want."

You think to yourself, "Revenge will be so sweet."

Speaking to Ismurii, you say, "I can only tel you what I want."

Ismurii says, "Then tell me."

You gaze fondly at Ismurii.

You give Ismurii a lingering kiss on the inside of the elbow.

Ismurii just closed a faded taupe satchel.

Ismurii bites her lip.

You ask, "You're playing with your satchel?"

You sigh.

Ismurii asks, "What?"

Speaking to Ismurii, you ask, "Am I doing something wrong?"

Ismurii says, "No I just noticed it was open."

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "I don't think you are."

You give Ismurii a lingering kiss on the neck.

(Ismurii tilts her head and gives out a heavy breath.)

You gaze fondly at Ismurii.

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "Morgannis..."

You give Ismurii a lingering kiss on the ear.

Ismurii shivers.

You grin.

You quietly whisper to Ismurii, "Ismurii..."

You think to yourself, "Safety Morgannis....safety."

You say, "Lets be safe."

Ismurii blinks.

Ismurii asks, "What?"

Ismurii's face turns slightly pale.

You gesture while calling upon the lesser spirits to aid you with the Disease Resistance spell...

You gesture.
There is a dim flash around you.
You feel a strengthening of your internal fortitude.

Ismurii uneasily asks, "What are you doing?"

You say, "Being safe."

You pull Ismurii closer to you.

Ismurii asks, "From what?"

You shrug.

Ismurii stands up.

You blink.

Ismurii frowns.

You glance at Ismurii.

You stand back up.

Ismurii asks, "You believe those nasty rumors?"

You ask, "What rumors?"

You ask, "What rumors?"

Ismurii asks, "What's going on, Morgannis?"

You blink.

You say, "I thought....us."

Ismurii asks, "Us? What is us?"

You point at yourself.

You point at Ismurii.

Speaking confusedly to you, Ismurii asks, "What is this 'lets be safe' business?"

Ismurii frowns at you.

You say, "I was out foraging earlier."

You say, "And I pricked my fingers."

Speaking to you, Ismurii asks, "Am I diseased now?"

You look at Ismurii and shake your head.

You say, "I think I casted in time."

Ismurii buries her face in her hands.

Ismurii scrubs her hand through her long autumn brown hair in frustration.

The sense of peace and security begins to wane from the area.

Ismurii traces a sign while petitioning the spirits for cognition...

Ismurii gestures.
A sense of peace and calm resettles over the area. *Fuck!

Ismurii sighs.

You walk towards Ismurii.

You rub Ismurii tenderly.

You say, "Sorry."

Ismurii says, "I don't want to be treated how they treat me."

You say, "You wont with me."

Ismurii says, "I don't want people to believe the rumor that is going on about me."

You sit down.

Ismurii sits down.

Ismurii asks, "You don't know what it is?"

You pull Ismurii closer to you.

You look at Ismurii and shake your head.

Ismurii says, "I don't want to tell you."

Ismurii says, "Its terrible."

You say, "Then don't. It makes no difference to me."

Ismurii says, "I thought you heard it, and that's why you did that."

You blink.

Ismurii says, "That's why I got so defensive."

You peer quizzically at Ismurii.

You ask, "Is there something I should know?"

Ismurii says, "None of it is true."

Ismurii says, "So you don't NEED to know of it, but I will tell you if you want to know."

Ismurii glances suspiciously around the area.

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

Ismurii fans herself.

Ismurii takes a deep breath.

Ismurii slowly empties her lungs.

You say, "If it will ease your mind I will listen."

You say, "If not...."

You give Ismurii a lingering kiss on the neck.

Ismurii quietly says, "They call me a harlet."

You blink.

You ask, "What does that mean?"

Ismurii says, "It is a woman who takes men as clients to the Inn and they have their way with her."

Ismurii frowns.

You frown.

You say, "I hope it is not true."

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "I told you it wasn't."

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "Why would I? I was married."

Ismurii says, "Even now, I don't."

You smile.

You say, "Good because I have no money."

You have no silver coins with you.
In the back of your mind you remember you owe a debt of 7744 silvers in the city of Solhaven.

Ismurii frowns.

You tap yourself on the chest.

You say, "I only have that."

Ismurii blinks at you.

Ismurii says, "Ask them."

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "I used to hate you."

You blink.

You ask, "Really?"

Ismurii nods.

You think to yourself, "Do it now...."

You ask, "Why?"

Ismurii says, "You were such a fool."

You blink.

Ismurii giggles.

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "You were."

You say, "And to think...I just kissed those lips."

Ismurii gawks at you.

You chortle.

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "You always kissed me, whether I liked it or not."

Your jaw drops.

You ask, "Just now?"

Ismurii exclaims, "No!"

Ismurii says, "Before."

You say, "But I knew...."

You say, "Deep down...."

You tap yourself on the chest.

Ismurii cocks her head.

You say, "That you felt the same."

Ismurii asks, "Back then, I did?"

You say, "Since the beginning you did."

You say, "I can see the future."

Ismurii begins to giggle, then bursts out in a silly laugh.

You say, "I was gifted with saramar runes."

You tap a bone-toggled woven seagrass basket that you are wearing.

Tucked away, in a separate compartment of their own at the bottom of the basket, is a collection of smooth rune-painted stones.

You rub your woven seagrass basket.

Speaking amusedly to you, Ismurii says, "Now that is just silly."

You chortle.

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "I have fortune telling stones, but I don't know how to read them."

Speaking to you, Ismurii asks, "So what else is going to happen in the future?"

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

[Morgannis]

Slipping your hands into your woven seagrass basket, you pull forth three smooth stones. You slowly open your hand and arrange the runestones in the palm of your hand. After a moment's study, you tilt your hand to display an inverted harvest rune, an empty pot rune, and a seedling rune.
Roundtime: 10 sec.

A few moments later, you deposit the stones back into your basket.

Ismurii gazes with interest at you.

You say, "The harvest, pot, and seedling runes."

Ismurii anxiously asks, "What does it mean?"

You say, "We will have a bountiful life..."

You say, "There will be much heat in our lives."

You say, "And the seedling should speak for itself."

Ismurii blushes a nice shade of dark red.

Ismurii embarrassedly asks, "What?"

A few moments later, you deposit the stones back into your basket.

You feel at full magical power again.

You say, "Ice disk, fate, and journey runes.."

Ismurii idly scratches herself on the neck.

You say, "We are currently frozen in time and fate has brought us to this moment. From here is where our new journey continues."

Ismurii gets a blank look on her face.

Ismurii says, "Wow."

You smile.

Ismurii says, "I'm... speechless."

You smile.

Ismurii blinks at you.

You say, "Lets see what happens if we part ways."

A few moments later, you deposit the stones back into your basket.

You say, "Torch, energy, and offering rune..."

Ismurii furrows her brow.

You say, "A fire will start buring up all our energy. Leaving us nearly dead, willing to offer our souls to lorminstra."

You say, "It is the way of the runes."

Ismurii peers quizzically at you.

You nod to Ismurii.

Speaking to you, Ismurii asks, "We suffer to death without?"

You nod to Ismurii.

Ismurii bites her lip.

Speaking to you, Ismurii asks, "Emotionally or physically?"

You remove a bone-toggled woven seagrass basket from your belt.

You stand back up.

You raise your woven seagrass basket skyward!

You say, "Harvest, open box, and acorn cap rune..."

You say, "Physically."

Ismurii blinks.

Ismurii says, "I don't want to die."

You shake your head.

You say, "Me neither."

Ismurii stares at you.

You attach a bone-toggled woven seagrass basket to your belt.

Speaking to Ismurii, you say, "It is the way of the runes."

Ismurii asks, "Can you read stones?"

Ismurii lightly drums her finger on her bag and the stones within clink together.

You say, "The runes are writtin on stones."

You say, "42 perfect smooth stones."

Ismurii just opened a faded taupe satchel.

Ismurii put a black glass vial painted with nacreous nightshade in her taupe satchel.

Ismurii just closed a faded taupe satchel.

Ismurii blinks.

Ismurii says, "Mine is different."

You slip your hand into your velveteen bag and let your fingers trickle through the many stones there. After several moments you feel one slip into your palm and it somehow feels perfectly right. You draw your hand forth and reveal an angular chalcedony. You rub your thumb against it for a moment and then deposit it back into your bag.

Ismurii says, "Me either."

Ismurii frowns.

Ismurii says, "I know elven."

You ask, "Faendryl?"
Ismurii says, "They're just regular gems."

Ismurii slips her hand into her velveteen bag briefly before pulling out a small opal nodule. She rubs her thumb against it for a moment and then deposits it back into her bag.

Ismurii shrugs her shoulders, lifting her wings slightly.

Ismurii says, "I guess not."

Ismurii says, "I never seen those ones before."

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

You say, "I do not know if this area is safe from critters."

Ismurii says, "I think it is."

Ismurii says, "And if it isn't, we'll be fine."

Ismurii asks, "Right?"

You gaze in wonder at your surroundings.

You ask, "Yes?"

Ismurii asks, "Unless a massive troll king came in or something?"

You nod to Ismurii.

You say, "Lets check."

>go port
[Daingneach Onoir, Entrance]
Massive walls of pure white granite bear numerous scars from both recent and long past assaults. Towers stand sentinel to either side of an open modwir gate and raised portcullis, providing a suitable post for any guard. Four flaming sconces frame the imposing entrance, and an intricate gem-inlaid crest is mounted proudly above it. A narrow alcove near the northern tower reveals a granite staircase leading under the fortification.

[Coastal Cliffs]
The mountains rise up majestically to the south, silhouetted against the evening sky where the forest tries to carve life out of the barren rock. You feel very small, caught between these breathtaking summits and the seemingly infinite sea to the north. To the west, the terrain is a jumble of broken rock and steep inclines, making further travel in that direction impractical. You also see a weathered white granite fortress.

In the mountain pack you see the following:
5 Boxes: a sturdy steel chest, an engraved modwir coffer, a sturdy brass strongbox, a weathered maoral strongbox, an iron-bound monir trunk

To the west, the terrain is a jumble of broken rock and steep inclines, making further travel in that direction impractical. You also see the Ismurii disk, a sturdy steel chest, an engraved modwir coffer, a sturdy brass strongbox, a weathered maoral strongbox, an iron-bound monir trunk and a weathered white granite fortress.
Also here: Ismurii
Obvious paths: east

Ismurii blinks.

You flail your arms about.

Ismurii joins your group.

You say, "I forgot something."

Babbling again, eh?

>go fort
[Daingneach Onoir, Entrance]
Massive walls of pure white granite bear numerous scars from both recent and long past assaults. Towers stand sentinel to either side of an open modwir gate and raised portcullis, providing a suitable post for any guard. Four flaming sconces frame the imposing entrance, and an intricate gem-inlaid crest is mounted proudly above it. A narrow alcove near the northern tower reveals a granite staircase leading under the fortification.
Obvious paths: out
Ismurii followed.

>go port
[Onoir, Court of Chivalry]
Moonlight filters through the branches of an ancient elm located in the center of this aesthetic courtyard, reflecting upon the surface of a waterfall fountain along the main cobblestone path. Carefully tended wildflowers, grasses, and pathways comprise the remaining area, accented by a solitary wooden bench. The soothing chirping of crickets and the occasional hooting of owls fill the air, a peaceful counterpoint to the stout granite towers equipped with ballistae in each corner of the courtyard. You also see some arched wooden double doors, a tranquil path and a raised portcullis.
Obvious paths: none
Ismurii followed.

Ismurii asks, "What?"

You say, "You."

You chortle.

You sit down.

Ismurii just nudged you.

Ismurii sits down.

You say, "No critters in sight."

Ismurii just opened a faded taupe satchel.

Ismurii says, "Told you."

You feel more refreshed.

Ismurii says, "You know, I really don't want to drink this..."

Ismurii glances at something in a faded taupe satchel.

You say, "Then dont."

You smile.

You ask, "Or do you want me to?"

You say, "I'll do it."

Speaking to you, Ismurii asks, "Do you want to?"

You nod.

Speaking to you, Ismurii asks, "Do you need to?"

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

You say, "Only thing I NEED is you."

Speaking to you, Ismurii asks, "Why do you want to?"

You feel more refreshed.

You say, "I like to try things."

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "It has a silly effect on people."

Ismurii says, "I've watched."

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "They become obsessed."

You say, "Then let my obsession be shown."

Ismurii says, "They embarass themselves really."

Ismurii says, "Its worked for the better, and its worked for the worse."

You smile.

Speaking to you, Ismurii asks, "But you want to know something?"

You nod to Ismurii.

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "I do like you, and you keep me curious and anxious."

You grin.

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "You gave me this strange comfort..."

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "I guess strange might be a poor choice of words..."

You nod to Ismurii.

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "I don't know, I guess, just...."

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "I have never been so shocked in my life."

You smile.

Speaking to you, Ismurii says, "And I can't get over it."

You feel more refreshed.

Ismurii says, "I talked with Karmiqua and Alafaya about you."

You smile.

Ismurii says, "And Sareyna a little."

Ismurii says, "And all my male friends weren't any help."

Ismurii waves her hand in a dismissive gesture.

Ismurii says, "I told them about the doll."

You grin.

Ismurii says, "All the girls said it was romantic."

Ismurii says, "All the boys said it was..."

Ismurii starts chortling.

Ismurii says, "Nevermind."

You gesture while calling upon the lesser spirits to aid you with the Spirit Strike spell...
Your spell is ready.
You gesture.
An invisible force guides you.

You stand back up.

You remove a well-balanced silver alloy waraxe from in your leather weapons harness.

You walk towards Ismurii.

You kneel down.

You quietly whisper to Ismurii, "I hope it hurt...."

You stand back up.

....walk to TSC

[Town Square Central]
This is the heart of the main square of Wehnimer's Landing. The impromptu shops of the bazaar are clustered around this central gathering place, where townsfolk, travellers, and adventurers meet to talk, conspire or raise expeditions to the far-flung reaches of Elanith. At the north end, an old well, with moss-covered stones and a craggy roof, is shaded from the moonlight by a strong, robust tree. The oak is tall and straight, and it is apparent that the roots run deep. You also see a lighthearted luck spirit that is flying around, a large acorn, a large acorn, some stone benches with some stuff on it and an herbal remedy donation bin.

Okay, now you have to give us the extremely long backstory as to why this happened.

All I got from this was FFS..those tards at onoir got a house built?...i went to a few of those 'meetings' where they'd sit around and talk about how long they'd been in the lands etc etc etc...

Wow I got an empath to 89 and never noticed that before. Maybe I squelched it early-on. Does it also appear when you cast offensive spells?

No, I don't think it does.

You know what I bet it doesn't.
See, healers became war / battle experts akin to sorcerers with the introduction of their spells.

And the backstory:

Ismurii hated Morg's guts cause he wouldnt put up with her crap. Keep in mind that morg never resorted to violence. Few days ago Ismurii drags Morg west of TSC and keeeeeels him. That led to Morg wanting to get even which led to: See first post.

No one thought the casting disease resist in the heat of the moment was funny? Man, i was cracking myself up at that point.

Your Mistress

I only saw one comment which negatively addressed the content of the log, unless you count mine, which one shouldn't. I simply dislike when someone repeatedly uses a verb to add emphasis on it, as that is a bit jarring and unnecessary. The most commonly used form of this is when people hug, kiss, or bounce against each other 2-5 times. But as you can see, laugh, cackle, etc is often used as well.

ANYWHO, the RP itself was just fine.

[The Ponzzz]

Man, I guess I'm spoiled with Platinum. Heh.

[Fallen]

Man, I guess I'm spoiled with Platinum. Heh.

Yes and no. You have higher caliber roleplay in platinum on a more consistent level, but basically your world is a fake. I think of platinum as an alternate version of earth, just with 1% of the total populace, and all of them are trained actors performing on stage for each other's amusement. Like a Soap Opera of normal Gemstone, I guess.

[The Ponzzz]

Well, I wouldn't say we have higher caliber roleplayers in Platinum, but if by more consistent, you mean about 99% of the time, then yes. I miss a lot of the Dae'Randir RP that I had back in 2005 with Prime. The Hagga storyline was a great bit as well. We have a lot of people that make you cringe in Platinum too. But, I dunno, more people are playing characters in Platinum, instead of playing a game.

Also... UR FAKE!!!

[Warriorbird]

Platinum doesn't have forwarded roleplay or anything of particular quality... it has everybody being generally IC.

It is like a bad LARP.

[The Ponzzz]

Platinum doesn't have forwarded roleplay or anything of particular quality... it has everybody being generally IC.


What do you mean, Conan? I'm confused.

[Warriorbird]

The characters don't mesh. The power level is ridiculously varied to the point of gravely reducing the logic of the world. Everybody's doing their own happy little monkey single player roleplay. You've got the occasional 'antagonist' but they aren't able to be dedicated enough to make it stick. Sandbox roleplay on that scale thrives best on politics but there's no real politics that can offer any reward at all.

Gamemasters could function as guiding hands, even in a world with the power that varied, but they don't because they generally default to hating your entitled asses. They often have built up resentment from coming from Prime... and there's a money aspect to it too.

Throw a few assholes like Jay in the mix and they (the staff) don't want to be there. Why entertain for 50 when you could for 500?

...and it loops back to single player GS, with people struggling for their Monty Haul type wins in a very limited field. You can be special but there's a grave disconnect at the heart of it. It could be so much more.

I mean... it has its advantages. You don't have to deal with a massive populace of idiots. Your hunting areas are clear. The barriers for being 'the best' at something are far lower. The best of the best loot is far more attainable. It's more a slick textual Diablo 2 than a sustained environment for roleplay though.

Yeah, it's a shame that the Dae is officially screwed since Turin can't make up his fucking mind whether or not he wants to stay. And nearly all the officers or high-end players in the group itself are tired of it or gone.

Makes me SO glad I passed on joining last year when Andraste tried to run that stupid ass Onarian storyline.

[Warriorbird]

He's got a mad amount of personal issues... many not of his own making. Doesn't mean some folks couldn't take the ball and run with it. As much as I like Bill personally, I thought it was a pretty non Onarian way to run an Onarian group.

I see some of your points, and I know you've given Platinum several tries, so you have the experience (which this is most likely your reasons here).

The issue with an antagonist and level guilt are much of the same thing. They can't stick to it because people can't take it. We have so many that come new, roll up their favorite dark elf sorcerer build and aspect their level 3 character to dominate a level 89 character. Like, that's what they perceive they can get from Platinum. The harsh reality is, level IS power. And on the flip side, if Caden (capped sorc) runs around dominating the world, people get pissed at him because he is capped, of course he can kill a level 60 rogue.

I generally don't RP my level. Dhask remains DHask. But it has run into issues in the past that have made a few go on power trips thinking they have bested a level 100 character. It's a horribly slippery slope of bad ideas really.

I personally don't run into your issues. Platinum does become a single player game when you hunt. A lot of people lately seem to be doing the pairs thing, where just 2 of them stick together. If one isn't around, they don't hunt. This is one of the perks to me in Platinum. Not having a crowded hunting area. Dhask is only 50 in Prime for a reason. Competing for creatures sucks. I don't script-hunt or use third party software that over lays GS, so I am at a disadvantage when hunting with 6 others who are.

The GMs are hit or miss. CCF has shown its ugly head right now, and we've pretty much lost our GMs for the most part. But we hope that will be remedied soon.

But in the end, I enjoy it, and that's really what counts for me. Roleplay is steady, not in spurts like I felt it was in Prime. And this, ladies and gentlement, is how you derail a thread.

[iJin]

Mario, you can derail my thread anytime. ;)

[The Ponzzz]

:heart:

[StrayRogue]

I sort of agree with you Conan. I did try Plat for a while. I really didn't enjoy it much. Way too quiet, especially for off-peak players like myself. Additionally you'd never know if you're talking to Jay or not.

Prime is where it's at. But the level of RP fluctuates far too much. At one moment people could be going around singing lyrics from a popular song, and in the next room cyber bjing a GM. It's far too irregular.

What was most irritating about Prime RP (involving GMs) was how certain people would appear from the wood-work the moment anything remotely GM based began. It is so off-putting and half the time so fucking OOC.

And beyond that what is the point? Mechanically the game is all about watching numbers slowly grow. At least in games like WoW the content is expanded a lot. Look at the development it has seen over it's lifetime. Compare that amount of time to GS. Nothing much has changed has it?

So what is left in Prime or GS for that matter? Uniqueness. People are desperate to be unique, to be recognised, to be famous. Unfortunately it is such a mediocre environment now that the only people who get remembered anymore are idiots or scammers. It's really a big shame.

[Winter's Kiss]

He's got a mad amount of personal issues... many not of his own making. Doesn't mean some folks couldn't take the ball and run with it. As much as I like Bill personally, I thought it was a pretty non Onarian way to run an Onarian group.

All-in-all.. He did a shit job for a group of murders for hire. Running it as a "grey" way of life that help defend towns for free is something incredibly stupid. But that's how I see things and just not my opinion on how I think a bunch of paid homicidal people should be.

Same with the story line they ran last year. Made us seem like a bunch of pussy-whipped monk-like morons. I was totally unimpressed and felt like I had wasted a week of game play and life because I tried to make something of the damn thing in hopes it would turn out better. What did we all get out of it? A scar in the tattoo slot and a fucking gem. Woohoo.. /rant

[Allereli]

For the most part I stay out of drama, especially involving plat, who the hell is Jay?

[The Ponzzz]

There really isn't any drama in Platinum. He is UninvitedX on the officials. THAT JAY here.

[Belnia]

He's half of Platinum!

[War Angel]

Totally off topic, sorry OP, but in Jays defense, his characters were all very different, and even though everyone knew/knows they are his, he didn't do the zombie slave thing, at least I never witnessed it.

On topic, Hrmm, I see dead people? :D

[Warriorbird]

It isn't his characters I have a problem with.

[Morgannis]

LOL good times.


I <3 you too?

[That Jay]

Sheesh.

I guess I should check random threads THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ME in case my name is brought up.

On second thought, naw.

Although, if its not my characters and the fact that you may not know you are interacting with me in-game (because everyone is roleplaying which is sorta the point), what is your beef with me Conan? (We can take it to email if you'd like. I am curious.)

By the way, if Platinum is fake because its an "alternate reality", you are really not going to like the new Star Trek.

So did I. Now that the exposition is out of the way, I am really looking forward to the next one in the series.

Arguing about which virtual instance is more real reminds me of a Kids in the Hall bit I saw when they were on tour this past year where Dave Foley and Kevin McDonald are fighting over the same imaginary girlfriend.
