RE: Will you PLEASE stop trying to arrest me. - Kage - 03-14-2014 As someone who is.. sorta looking to be on the more 'lawful' side of things in RP I'd love to have more interactions between both those who play criminals or dark aspects and 'lawful' people in drawn out plots that can also get into the meat and gritty politics of the cities (in this case Ul'dah). I mean I feel that some things should definitely be hashed out OOCly but, I dunno. Maybe it's happening and I'm just not getting any :p RE: Will you PLEASE stop trying to arrest me. - MrPoopyButtHole - 03-14-2014 I shot an unruly patron in the knee in the Quicksand (we discussed it first OOC). Thankfully no lawmen were there mwhahahaha.

An admin tried to ban me once.  I ate his liver, with some macaroni cheese and a nice birch beer.... Pftpftpftpftpftpft.... Maybe I'll make a serial-killer character.  I'm kind of enjoying my biker-ganger-ishness on Ignacius, but I've played the crazy sonovabitch before.  Guess I'll dust that one off and start a Thaumaturge. In the meantime... When you're playing a criminal or a cop, it's best to keep the golden rules in mind.  Your character doesn't know what he doesn't know, no matter how much you know, you can't auto the actions of other people, and always remember to use your common sense. I mean, on the one hand, if you're a law enforcement official, you can't just ambush other officers, senior or junior, if you see them speaking to criminals.  It's just not smart, considering that might be an internal thing.  On the other hand, if you're engaging in questionable activities, the law will almost inevitably catch up to you, and you'd better be ready if you get caught.  If you want to live on this side of the law, you'd better be a smooth operator. We don't have all the information to pass judgement, as I said before.  Being that I'm on Gilgamesh, it really doesn't concern me anyway.  I'd say, unless you're ready to handle the inevitable, don't play the law or dabble in crime.  Be a basketweaver or a soldier.  Being a cop or a crook is deceptively difficult to do right because so much can go wrong for your story so quickly. As we say in architecture, think of every blatant cock-up to your design as an opportunity for development.

Villains have stories to tell, too! RE: Will you PLEASE stop trying to arrest me. - Roen - 03-14-2014 (03-14-2014, 05:54 PM)cuideag Wrote: ^ ^ ^Yes! Villains with their own motivations, hang ups, and stories are so much more interesting. But playing them out in the open for public consumption is sooo tricky and many times difficult, because everyone wants to thwart/listen in/get the better of you with their heroes.  I like for villainous plots to simmer and develop over a period of time and build! I have had *vague* and *somewhat scheming* conversations in public (always emoted to be really quiet or kept low) between the not-good characters because I want them to be existing with the rest of the RP world, but actually doing outright villainous things? Likely that will be in a controlled setting and only with players I trust.

You only halfway read my current story and are always up my ass. Please stop, ok. Now if it happens again you're going on the Blist. I have asked you to stop. I like how you RP but the constant blind lawful good stuff needs to be dialed back. So knock it off, I am not going to be arrested and stripped of title or whatever you are doing. As I told someone tonight its faith, rp only works if we all agree. No one agrees that you are going to interrogate or arrest or have me kicked out of the Sworn. Its my PC and I'm the only one that can do that. As mentioned I did not name you. As for using the forums, I did so because I have asked you before not to assert authority over me, as that is the respectful thing to do. I my play a higher rank, but I have never claimed authority over any player but you, and only then as a way to IC make you go away. My authority is strictly over NPC's which I make for that purpose. I find it degrading to control another's character. This something I have done sure, we all have, but when it was brought to my attention I apologized and fixed my mistake. My story is odd true, but it is played with friends who agreed to it, you did not and left and I respected that. We have many unorthodox stories going, one of which revolves around a Primal. As I have posted before, we all pay a sub, so we all have the right to what ever story we like as long as those involved enjoy it or at least do not mind. We do not have to justify ourselves to eachother and that is the beauty of this community. To each their own. I took this to public ground because I felt I was not getting through to you. I did not invite you to my friend and I's RP last night yet you inserted yourself, and once the it was over and she and I had left to do other things you come on us trying to insert yourself again with undo aggression. It is true I feel as though I should not submit to anyone because at the end of the day I do not want to and that is my right as long as I do not hold myself over other players. I think you are more angry over this then I am, which I thought I would be. Since you have named yourself I am sorry if it hurt your feelings. I was trying not to. I think people who have run with me over time see that I am a nice person OOC and I hope they see that in my character as well. I am not here to bother anyone or make it so no one can have fun. If I have done this to you I am sorry, but you must understand that at the end of the day we are all players here. This was an issue for your FC to as I was told by members who left. You are a bit heavy handed and no one wants that. Your anger, aggression and overall negativity to my character and me is unwelcomed. I gave you that pearl as a way to repair this with you before the event. I hoped and thought we were at least friends OOC, as to why I tried to add you on FB months ago. I had wondered why you disliked me so much but I guess you confused me with my character. I will apologize to you for posting this here and involving you, even though again I did not name you and you did not need to barge in and include yourself publicly. My intent was not to embarrass or name you, but to show how serious I was since you never seemed to understand in game either in IC or OOC. This was not meant to hurt you in anyway. I wish we got along better, when you weren't trying to oath kill me or interrogate me or jail me, I truly had fun. One of the best times I had was when we were punking our friend OOC at the grindstone, Old Spice man remember. I thought you a friend, but I did something either IC or OOC that offended you. As I assume you will not speak to me again after this I will sadly just say, please do not bother me with this thing again. I clearly state here that I do not accept your authority over any player except for those who give it to you. If you attempt to insert yourself in my RP in a hateful way again I will simply ignore your presents. I will not Blist you because I do not dislike you, I just think you get carried away and I must not have been clear enough, so we are both at fault. Later on, if you like, I would like to be your friend at least in OOC. I am not here to make enemies, I have enough sadness in my real life. This is where I come to have fun. I am sorry for getting angry and I am sorry for things I have said about you out of frustration. I hope this matter can close with this. All I want to do is run my little disaster aid FC, have IC dinner with my friends, marry couples until SE adds a wedding system, and if I can continue to, do Faith Trials for new Sultansworn. I am not here to control you, I only ask you not to control me. RE: Will you PLEASE stop trying to arrest me. - Xenedra - 03-14-2014 Alright guys, our lovely forum admin asked that this be taken it to PMs and with this latest post, his request has been ignored. I'm going to go ahead and lock this. In a few days I may also delete it as we don't really need peoples' business strewn across the RPC. PLEASE continue your discussion in PMs if you find it necessary. |
