Uh...Eeeeeewwwww!

[Chadj]

Darphin = Kurapira And Klaive I THINK (not positive.)

Isn't that Kurapira's kid that someone kicked?

[carolienaine]

I dunno. But that is gross. I am actually sick to my stomach..nasty nasty...:barf:

Yay for act abuse.

[carolienaine]

and also...if you're going to use ACT that many times, you should atleast know how to spell what you are acting. Am I wrong?

[Bobmuhthol]

Kurapira sucks.

P.S. You misspelled "at least."

I can spell wonderfully. My structure is bad I know. Its called LAZY. And its also called being sick and not sleeping for three days. Excuse me for forgetting a space!

[Artha]

How...the...hell....do........you..forget...the... spacebar.....exists?

[Chadj]

I have had a few hours sleep each night, and I have been going to work <3 I still type structuralicized. And my grammar is perfect too.

[carolienaine]

Why do you always gotta rag on me? I swear I can't do anything right for you. I give up :?::sniffle:

[Shari]

Just, wow.

[carolienaine]

Just, wow? What does that mean?

[Praefection]

It's a nice way of thinking a lot (mostly bad) without really saying them.

[SpunGirl]

HAHAHAHAHAHAZ all kinds of things just came together for me now.

That line about the cut healing without "so much as a scar" from the blood off the tongue is a direct ripoff from "The Last Vampire" series by Christopher Pike. I have a great memory for phrases and names from books I've read, even when I read them in like... the seventh grade. Un-creative much, Krapiera?

Also, the name of Klaive and Krapiera's daughter, Suzama, is from that same series. I knew I recognized it, I just didn't realize from where until now. What a bunch of originals they are.

[Edited on 8-25-2004 by SpunGirl]

[Caiylania]

That is sick. If they did that shit in front of me I would turn into a report whore. It's out of genre and act abuse.

It's just stupid fucking RP and definatly act abuse. They need to be locked out for being numb in the brain.

- Arkans

[StrayRogue]

Its called Roleplaying, retard.

Bad roleplaying, unfortunately. HOLY MECHANICS ABUSE BATMAN!!!!11

- Arkans

[Caramia]

They can play at being wanna-be vampires all they want. I'll just look at them like they're crazy Mularosans.

[SpunGirl]

Any decent Mularosian would be embarassed.

[DeV]

Who cares.

[SiKWiDiT]

I do.

It sucks that people are treating Gemstone like it's a free-form roleplaying game. It is a structured, medieval based fantasy game. There are rules, it's just that there's no one enforcing them.

Ok, I'm going to admit to something and it's weird, but Ive read the vampire chronicles in order, over 65 times, Yeah they're my favorite books. I recall the healing part, but Suzama isn't someone from those books, unless it's from the newer ones (Havn't read those much) Can you point it out to me where she is?

I remember Kurapira saying she WAS from a book, but I can't recall which one.

And yeah, that was a little overboard with the acting shit.

[SiKWiDiT]

True.

[4a6c1]

Ok...I will be the devils advocate.

I thought they're actions were pretty well done until the vampire healing shit. Then I was like 'Gahhh....amateaurs'(not to mention ACT abuse). I play a pretty freaky character and she does stuff like that, but only in private with her little circle of freaks.

**I have a question for the original poster. Was all this done in a public place? If so, bad form. I disapprove. :nono:

[SiKWiDiT]

I've got nothing against ritualistic rites of passage, twisted torture methods or anything of that nature. These things have their place in Elanthia.

These three ( two ) can obviously do well with roleplaying. They just don't want to do it within the rules of the game.

If Meos saw that he'd have to cleanse the world of the vampire scum, or die trying. But say what you want about those two, they RP better then 90% of the people that play gemstone.

[CrystalTears]

If they're going to do the immortal bit, can they at least do that crap in private? Bad enough they publicized the log of the stupid ritual to bring the future version of the daughter to the present day through a time void. That made me laugh for days. What was good about it is that they didn't involve anyone else.

Do that crazy kinky shit in private, please. If you're not going to play by the rules with everyone else, don't play a multiplayer game with set rules and find another MUD/MUCK to play in that allows that crap.

And thats really not saying much considering.

[CrystalTears]

Is it sad that I'd rather deal with bad roleplaying than THAT kind of roleplaying?

[SiKWiDiT]

I'd rather put up with people that have no clue as opposed to people who get it and just don't care.

CT beat me to it.

No, they don't. They RP sometimes, which is something anyone can do. I know I'm not a great roleplayer or anything, but these two are not any better then Warclaidhm. For reasons like, being OOC many times, Warning people for things that happen on a message board, using words like "PWND" in game, abusing the act verb, etc.

Sure they can roleplay on occasion (if you count abusing the act verb roleplaying), but 99% of the time they are playing..... they aren't.

[Chelle]

No it isn't. And I am with ya on that one.

One of my last characters in game dad, tried to RP a Faendryl vampire too. I just ignored it.

What is the deal with that? What is the connection between Faendryls and Vampires? I don't get it.

[CrystalTears]

The immortality. They assume that immortality equals vampirism. They need to be schooled.

I agree!

I have a character that uses act alot, but it's always for like twitching and poking peoples wounds and talking to her inanimate objects. Hell, I created another forum name here to reply to a post about her so people wouldnt know but I don't care anymore. I play Mykala. She's a crazy wacked out empath, but I always, always try not to do things that would be considered ACT abuse.

And, I noticed a trend of people using themselves as avatars so Im gonna do it too :up:

[Tirayana]

Not for nothing, but there are at least a dozen or so items that can be associated with vampires/vampiristic actions. So, I think that constitutes being able to act like a vampire in game.

Though, I find in this particular situation, I do also agree that the ACT verb was abused with the healing thingy.

You think wrong. There are no such things as vampires in Elanthia.

[Fallen]

I believe the log was an instance of solid roleplaying, but it is a bit OOG for Gemstone. As others have said, this isnt free form roleplay. We are bound by the nature of Elanthia, and should not exceed the criteria that our roleplaying environment allows.

[Chelle]

Angelina Jolie is so hot I would do her. :spin:


Oh by the way, Cat you are so cute! :)

[The Cat In The Hat]

....

And put one of the other ones that are prettier. :D

[The Cat In The Hat]

:aww:

Thanks, never really felt comfortable here enough to post a pic until I got brave and posted some in the photo gallery thing.

So... now we're all off topic and stuff.

[Edited on 8-25-2004 by The Cat In The Hat]

[CrystalTears]

Oh yeah. On topic stuff... um...

Whether vampires are IG or not, the fact is that they were doing it out in the open is just wrong IMHO. Vampires, the ones that are written about in literature, didn't go out in broad daylight and munch on each other. They reserved that to private quarters, they would seclude themselves or keep it within each other's presense. They didn't just start sucking on people with others watching. It was taboo because they knew it could mean the end of their life. It attracts too much attention to themsel....

Ha! Nevermind. I just answered my own question about why the wonder twins were doing it. For the attention, regardless of whether it's acceptable or not.

[SpunGirl]

To answer your question, Cat, Suzama is a character that is "recalled" in the fourth or fifth book as being a spiritual-type person that Sita knew in the past. When Sita meets the woman that is having the Jesus-like baby, she's reminded of Suzama and does lots of reminiscing about her while she's trying to hunt down HER vampire/whatever kid, Kalika.

The line with the tongue-blood healing the wound is damn near a word-for-word ripoff about how Sita heals her VICTIMS after she bites them (because her blood has magical healing properties in small amounts). It's also stupid, because if Kurapira's blood has similar properties, why wouldn't the cut on her arm just seal right up as soon as she cut it open and her blood gushed all over? OR MAYBE IT'S ONLY MAGIC BLOOD FROM THE TONGUE THAT DOES THAT.

-K

PS I agree with CT.

[StrayRogue]

Vampires weren't the first or the only people to drink blood. And the ACT abuse is slight at best. Why I'm defending them is because they atleast are trying to RP beyond themselves, unlike 99% of the rest of these boards.

[carolienaine]

I role play often...I've been told that my RP was OOC but by only one person and no one else agrees...my rogue was a Sylvan raised by monkies

because I think it looks better as monkies, and that's the way I prefer to spell it. On a mid term paper I would spell it monkeys. But here is a not a mid term paper.
