Progwyn took the long trip once more. His mother now dead, it seems like the only right thing to do to bring her to Proglin and bring her to her old love.

No one’s here.

The landscape seems changed.

Progwyn sighs and carefuly places his mothers pendant in the burial well.

‘Orphaned and friendless, is there a meaning to any of this? Is this all part of Talad’s big plan? ‘

Jus' checkin'.... Is this guild still around?

:O

Socius! That's Fatima de morlad... mare... marloen... morelrl

YAY PANTHERS! 

I mean... if you can handle a neck cut, you surely can handle some canaydiuhns. Zednik Rulez.

Meh stop it please?

I used to be a GM, and when I was we discussed turning off labels quite often. We even tested it at the time. When we did an event without coloured labels, no one joined. Even serious RP peeps did not react. There are loads of players that want to join in for some RP. People's greed will sometimes prevail and make people join in for just the rewards. I myself loved joining and hosting for the fun of it.

I think there's something to say for both sides, just that I tend to stick with those that experienced both sides. It is meant to be fun. If you do not like them, like Hanix said, then by all means don't join in and have fun elsewhere. But allow others their fun as well. It's impossible all 80 participants are in it for the awards. So in my humble oppinion, it would be best if the duscussion ends with a "live and let live" kinda quote.

Read them, pronounce them, invite a friend to help you out and more importantly, practice your l33t sp33ch with more experienced l33t players you know from one of 12 MMORPGS (Massive Megal33t Role Pretending Gynecologist Simulators) you play.

BRB (Big Red Ball) After spending a sensible amount of time at their computer, many users enjoy the simple joys of catch, or football.

Some of you may play an MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). Completely different from an MMORPGS, but that will do as well. Study hard, tests will be send by mail. When you n00bs are ready, we will Continue to more advanced lessons.

Who would have guessed that Role-Play in PS can help you get a job? Well, if you told me you could a week or two ago, I would not have believed you. Virtual Reality is at a point where people actually replace real life by it, and even in Planeshift there are people spending more time in RP then in RL. As was I, a few months back. Gradually employers start realizing the power virtual reality can posses and the RL skills people get from that.

I applied for a job of Organiser and got hired. I'll be organising tournaments, just like good ol' Proglin used to do in Yliakum. My Resumé told about some relevant hobbies and whatnot, and a somewhat lengthy part about my experiences hosting events for an RP community. I explained how I used to organise tournaments online and managed a team of 20 players while keeping 100 more entertained. Also wrote down my experiences as a GM. Not 10 minutes later I recieved a reply from the company, asking more about that. They wanted to know what it was I did exactly so I explained and send them a website. Again, not 10 minutes later I was hired without as much as an interview. Naturally, my RP experiences weren't the one reason why I got hired. Most likely my love for sports and theatre weighed in as heavy, just that my brand shiny new employer believed that skills obtained in Virtual Reality are as good as those obtained in Real Life.

So... looking for a job? Do not hesitate to add "Ran a shop in Virtual Reality" to your resumé. You are likely to recieve questions about it, but it might just make the difference and show people you got a nack for organizing stuff as well as have insight in economy.

Meh, I think it's a poor idea as a whole. Little original, settings-wise it's a mess. Masoj, you can do far better then this fo shizzle.
