But obviously I am completely unable to write any post that isn't immediately taken offensive by someone else...sorry for that.

I don't have the slightest clue why you died at all and most likely it was just some monster who killed you while gathering PPs.

As they say, the first step of the twelve-step program is recognizing the problem.

Of course I'll not help my case by saying I died during a Dakkruist ritual where a sister of the sect sliced Miomai's throat open as part of the ritual to attain the level of Shade. No, in fact this particular death was just a fall while escaping a dark rogue. I was attempting to obtain a dark circle ring for a quest during a particularly slow day, RP-wise.

I'm actually a bit saddened that we meet under these conditions. Many of the things you write I agree with. When my characters die, I keep them in the D.R. for a day usually. Why not longer? Simply because I never was told how long one should wander the Death Realm. Also, like you, if I die for non-RP reasons, I don't count that. So from that perspective I guess I shouldn't have made the comment about the lifting of Dakkru's Curse, but it was spur of the moment, as I am still growing my character as a devout Dakkruist. Finally, I also see most training as OOC. I find it repetitive and uninteresting. I do it mainly during lulls in the role play aspect of the game.

I am hearing many people singing the same refrain, "It's all been done before," and I know you all can't be Steven Page of Barenaked Ladies. In my one year of playing PlaneShift, I haven't seen the role plays you folks talk about, which is why I am doing them. I certainly don't want to rehash tired old plot lines.

You love me. And the colorless clamod.

She looks like she can knock 'em dead. Which is probably why everyone runs away.

I don't know much about cats, but I believe their whiskers are supposed to be long enough so that if they try to crawl through a narrow opening, their whiskers will help them feel if they can squeeze through. So, if that is the purpose on an enkidukai, I would imagine they need to be long enough to reach the width of their shoulders. Unless of course they are only vestigial sensory hairs now.

I only point it out because I think it would look cool.

How does one even tell what the BF quests are? There's no indication which is which. For all I know I've done them already.

That looks like last Sunday around here. Though your rivnak would have been half buried in it.

(Welcome to 'The tale of a dagger' ongoing roleplay event! Tell Ardoin ingame, or me on the forums if you would like to join. I'm not to good at storytelling, and this is my first attempt at a storyline revolving around a character of mine.)

Not too good at storytelling? Don't believe a word of it, folks. This is loads of fun, and Miomai always enjoys a trip to visit her Mother Dakkru, even if it is a rather painful journey.

Welcome back Ardoin.

Lithe is the word I use, because she is, or was, a gymnast. And this looks rather lithe to me. It's my favorite.

Sorry folks, but I believe I have fixed it. This is new desktop publishing software for me, and I think it works on my computer because I already have the fonts installed. I changed how it published the PDF, and now I can display the document on my phone, so I suspect you can read it too.

Thanks for letting me know.
