Wish list / New Name Generator
« on: December 04, 2013, 05:56:56 pm »
I heard that the name generator would produce different names based on the race of the character being created. However, I decided to play around with it, and I noticed no difference between any of the races. All of the names were equally as bad and unpronounceable. Most were full of repetitions, some had innuendo of some sort, and all of them were aesthetically displeasing.

So, I propose something like the advanced interface from this: http://www.rinkworks.com/namegen/ It's quick to get the hang of, so play around with it a bit if you don't understand at first how it works.

There could be templates for each race and sex. Someone playing a Kran would not end up with the same name as someone playing a Lemur. Ylian female names and Ylian male names would not be the same. There would be some order to the way characters are named. You might be able to tell someone's race and sex by the name alone.

Complaint Department / Physical Stamina Depletion
« on: November 06, 2013, 05:03:28 am »
Depletes too fast.

Seriously. In real life, I can spar in full protective gear for at least 30 minutes, even after strenuous exercise. Without gear, I could probably go two hours. Constant sparring, with only 20-second-maximum breaks.

In PS, I feel like a morbidly obese, asthmatic walrus.

Y'all need to work out.

General Discussion / A Complaint
« on: November 02, 2013, 09:38:25 pm »
This is probably the first time anyone has ever complained about this particular thing.

There are roleplayers who strut around town in full platemail, 24/7. Most roleplayers do this, actually.

I'm here to tell you all that this is ridiculous. Plate armor should only ever be worn in combat, at a post, or at a dressy event.

It is not possible to run from Hydlaa to Gugrontid in full plate armor during the day without overheating or collapsing from exhaustion. It is not possible to outrun an unarmored man while you are wearing full plate armor. It is not possible to defeat a mob of men just because you are wearing full plate armor.

I know that everyone in Game of Thrones is wearing plate all over all the time. Yes, it looks cool. But those are costumes, and it is not historically accurate.

Also, fighting in armor is much different than fighting armored. I tried to find some realistic examples of swordfighting. Hopefully these help some of you.

Armored fighting, showing many basic techniques. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnqOMbFDEAI

Unarmored fighting with longswords. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjT4JepA-Vc

Sword and shield fighting. Felt like I should throw this in here. No one seems to know how to use them, and I think that's why there are very few shield-users. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkhpqAGdZPc

Anyway, you can see the difference between armored and unarmored fighting. For some variation, I'll also include an accurate scene from a movie. Unarmored fighting which resembles fencing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhwIrONyEzg

Armored individuals would be hard to take down one-on-one or on the battlefield. However, they could easily be killed if they were mobbed because they lacked mobility. There is no such thing as impervious armor. There are unprotected segments around the joints, the neck, and the face. So it is unwise to wander around the city in full-plate. You could be jumped any moment, unable to outrun your attacker, and stabbed quite easily when you had not even drawn your weapon.

The more logical approach toward protection is leather armor or light chainmail.

You can argue that my complaint is pointless since this is a game and games are unrealistic, but we have always striven to be somewhat realistic in roleplay. The inconsistencies bother me. I would like to see things like armor and weapons make a difference. I'd like to see people knowing what they are roleplaying. I'd like to see heroes in shining armor be shivved to death in an alley by unencumbered rogues.  :devil:

Fan Art / Character Portraits
« on: October 15, 2013, 04:47:37 pm »
As you all know, I am the best artist to have ever graced these forums. I'm sure you've missed my talents.







I've decided it's been long enough. I need to return to the world of art.







And how better to do so than to photoshop a portrait of the most interesting character on PlaneShift?







I present to you... the Black-Hearted, the unwilling... Kull!

The Hydlaa Plaza / I Hate My Life
« on: October 10, 2013, 10:44:29 am »
So I woke up last morning (night) feeling like this guy. The 30STM guy.



I had two tests the next day. I'd been preparing for that day!



Suddenly, I was stricken with a migraine!



Then Kull killed my main.



Watched some weird DS9 episode.



Tried to take a nap before class.



Couldn't sleep. Pain worsened. Decided to try some mystery tea.



Turned out to be poison. Not worth it.



Got into bed to writhe some more and possibly die.



I just turned this forum into Tumblr. Happy, Lilu?

« on: August 31, 2013, 12:53:32 pm »
When you're in the middle of a roleplay, DON'T DO THIS. It is rude.

That counts for multi-clienting, too. Unless you've absolutely got to or you have lightning fingers, don't do it.

Don't watch movies while roleplaying. (I used to do this and come back from a long scene to find the player I was with logged off.)

Especially don't play other games while roleplaying.

Now, admit it. Who does this? (I know who all of you are... Don't try hiding.)
