There's a lot of people who end up with horrible horrible power fantasies. I've interacted with more than a few amarr roleplayers and they tend to be some of the worse ones (everyone is a holder with the biggest holding ever and personal ties to the empress, etc). It reminds me of being fourteen and joining a freeform RP forum and entering the 'tavern' where it had to have been some non-Euclidean extradimensional space because all of the four-hundred special snowflakes there had their own dark shadowed corner where they were alone and brooding.

I used to run fairly successful freeform roleplays on a different forum. But, being a writer anyway, could always put the rp back on track should anyone try to derail it in ways that were just downright ridiculous.

The point is that without established rules and structure, people tend to be real ****ing idiots about things.

I still play and enjoy D&D fairly frequently, but there's always problem players.

Roy Ventus Axis of Chaos 1878	Posted - 2015.02.11 21:41:00 - [1] - Quote I ask how deep do are you into the lore and do you RP your character because the EVEverse seems to have a lot of interesting stories and whatnot but we don't seem to take advantage of it in-game or on the forums. People like True Adamance, Sgt. Kirk, myself, and a few others actually get into the Universe and it really makes it much more fun. I know some people might just not be into all that, but I love it.

Yeah I know what you mean about that. I was actually reading the Holder's page on EVElopedia and there are some cool and rather interesting things that one can do with RP from a Holder's perspective and a bit of information when you really dig deep. Which is why I prefer not being "That Holder's Son XYZ" and something more akin to "Ah you haven to be my fourth cousins great great great grand nephew" or some other bullshit since Amarrian nobility extends out to even the fringes of families. But I may or may not know to whom you are referring...... such laughter ensues. "This is the Usumgal boy, the exalted dragon, wreathed in the fires of heaven. He is a true symbol of God's majesty."

Yeah we tried that sort of thing on the old Dark Souls forum and it was damn difficult to explain to people time and time again that while yes Lordran is an interesting place where we time flows oddly that our characters are not chosen undead, we don't have Darksigns, and you cannot exist as a pseudo immortal all knowing multidimensional entity who can simultaneously see the future and affect the past. And yes MINA this guy did things in the middle of conversations like. Looks into future..... puppet masters your character twisting their personality so they are inevitably the bad guy..... pulls off amazingly acrobatic and impossibly awesome battle scene countering everything with ease.......BAM ***** rewritten past where your character is dead. It was awfully infuriating try to establish character personalities and ensuring people understood how awful it was interacting with God Modded characters. Fortunately they all picked up on it really quickly and we had some really nice characters that I think everyone was happy to see used especially in the Community events we hosted and tournaments.

Ugh hurray more people get to read Tony Gonzales less than sterling depiction of the Amarr where everyone is a traitor, monster, doesn't have faith, and the ones that do either die or are stripped of it by the end....... It's like he took that one comment CCP made about the Amarr "Capable of great acts or Good and Evil" and just ignored the first part.

Roy Ventus Axis of Chaos 1878	Posted - 2015.02.11 23:00:00 - [23] - Quote Oh wow. Yeah I've been in a lot of situations where we're RPing and the other players don't understand what's powerplaying or the fact that they have to abide by the rules or can't be OP to the point of breaking the mechanics of the RP. :V I've been the guy in the earlier cases, but I learned lol. I remember one time in a superhero RP, I grabbed a guy and teleported him into a downed electrical pole. In my defense, the guy was supposed to have a healing factor like wolverine, and he did. Looking back on it, it's pretty funny lol. I really thought I was in the right for doing that (simply because he wouldn't be killed by the action). RPing in Dust doesn't have to be about like...battling or whatever the Hell. It really could just be me and a Mimatar discussing how crappy the Caldari are. Stuff like that, I do like. Also for the crappy names, I usually just RP them as nicknames or codenames or even aliases. Sometimes it takes a lot of effort. Sometimes it's just damn near impossible though. How can you make PoopButtMcgee fit into a discussion on the mutilating of bodies by the Blood Raiders? "Oh, hey PoopButtMcgee, those damn Blood Raiders keep killing folks." It just doesn't work.

In order there is Ruthless - Tony Gonzalez Empyrean Age - Tony Gonzalez The Burning Life - Hjalti Danielsson (seperate fromt he events of the first two works) Templar One - Tony Gonzalez (the story of us mercs) Ruthless sets up a few of the main characters that are in both Empyrean Age and Templar one (Otro Gariushi an dMens Reppola) and i'd highly recommend reading al 3 Tony Gonzalez works. i wasn't too keen on Burning life but that was purely because the storyline Gonzalez has created and the continuity makes for an epic read. i'd love an omnibus version to come out with all 3 pieces in it (jint hint CCP) Never argue with an idiot. they bring you down to their level and beat you through experience proud C-II bpo owner
