Title: [ONGOING] Patrols in Ojaveda.
Post by: Akkaido Kivikar on January 26, 2010, 11:04:35 am: (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2784220/PatrolPoster.png)

[OOC notes:

This is the work of Kore Irka Clan, not theAlliance. Kore Irka Clan has an oath to serve an protect all law abiding Enkidukai, whereas the Alliance is more internally aimed.

This is meant as an IC deterrance to crime,badguy guilds hate being jumped all over by goodguy guilds, we'd appreciate the same. That said, let's see what good vs. bad RPs pop up.

The OOC purpose of this is to encourage RPof all kinds in Ojaveda. It's one of many initiatives we as a Clan are working on.]

Prooobably not that quickly. Realistically, I think that guard need a few 'days' to recover after that. If we're running away, however, we'll inform the rest of the clan or the Octarchy of the offender's activities...and warn other citizens of Ojaveda.

Rigwyn needs to get his facts straight: Jacula was not only holding that fenki hostage, he used her as a (fenki) shield when Kaerli and Vilthis attacked him in an attempt to break the situation up...

[We will be protecting anyone who visits Ojaveda, as visitors and those who live there (or RP so) are both positive to the economy and well being of the city. That said, KIC are extremely patriotic to our species, and if there's a dispute between a lawful Enki and a lawful visitor, we would likely take the Enki's side. Key point being that both parties are lawful though. Just thought I'd make sure our priorities were clear.]

Post by: Tadano Hitoshi on January 30, 2010, 02:40:53 am: [I think the fact that the KIC are implementing, not quite racism but `racial favouritism` (a kind of `we protect our own first` policy) is an excellent step RP-wise. Far more interesting for all parties than a goodie-goodie guild who protect all equally. The fact that some might see it as racism makes it interesting and challenging for the KIC to maintain.
Kudos.]

Title: Re: [ONGOING] Patrols in Ojaveda.
Post by: EStripus on February 02, 2010, 08:02:29 am: @Earowo: It is called RP for a reason, lol. Every option and possibility are not going to be discussed, because it is impossible to know all the creative ideas that players can come up with the limitless imaginations of RPers. When you have sly villains played by creative players [*ahem* you know who you are :P], then it is also impossible to discuss every detail of how an RP will play out.

There is also the issue of the Kore Irka clan security force and the enki alliance not wanting to overrule the authority of the Octarchy. The Kore Irka clan is ruled by a strong and wise Menki, Akaiddo, who will train his soldiers to use proper discretion when handling outbreaks of lawlessness.

Taken by surprise by Jacula after a confrontation, she was hit in the head with an axe and killed. Enonel is hailed as a hero by Akaiddo, without his assistance, Akaiddo would have died twice. (well, once, but there were two occasions where Enonel saved his fur)

Thank you all for the roleplay!

Edit: and now I've been harassed by a masked Diaboli and sent one of his associates out of town. Pity I still have no names, except a rumour from Emmara that Dharke's murderer, based on his glowing eyes, and use of weakness spells, is named 'Jakular' or something like that...]
Title: Re: [ONGOING] Patrols in Ojaveda.
Post by: Rigwyn on February 15, 2010, 04:40:12 pm: Rigwyn headed to Ojaveda to continue to size up the town and its inhabitants. While there he was confronted by an angry Laanx priest who he later recognized as Giroum Duprah - a priest who he had tried to enslaved and attempted to auction off some time ago. Clearly angered the priest about his own misfortune and that of Alce Martlet's he ended the conversation by trampling over Rigwyn with is rivnak and then fled the town.

Not a second later an armed Menki mounted atop a rivnak appproached Rigwyn and began questioning him. This was the same Menki he had ran in the the day before. The same rude Menki who called him a demon becuse of his horns and tail. A clear care of race discrimintion in his view. Still injured from the trampling Rigywn chose to flee on his drifter - threatening to get revenge on the way out.

He went left at the crater and came accross the same priest. This time Giroum was on foot. He soared over his head a few times and then pointed his finger at the priest casting a dark carakas shaped shadow at him. The priest countered his spell with a fireball which paniced the drifter. Cepht flew off screaching as Rigwyn fell off and into the dirt. The two faced off in the dusty road. Rigwyn reached for his sabre as he charged Giroum. Giroum reached for a sack of flour and threw it at Rigwyn, temporarily blinding him. Giroum escaped and Rigwyn was left behind coughing in the white cloud. After managing to clear his eyes he found Cepht and headed back to Hydlaa. He found Giroum once more, chased him, but ended up losing him in the foothills. It seems Giroum was able to evade him once more.

It's a good opportunity for conflict, and I think it will derive more role-play if it happens more frequently. That's just my opinion though. I'm guessing the menki on the rivnak was an Ojaveda guard so I'm guessing there is some corruption going on within their "trying to bring order into society."

Upon yesterday whilst keeping the pathway to Jirosh's mercantile open and free from outlaws and rogues, a menki did approach me, represnting hisself as a member of yer Patrol and asking if I had seen me a masked and hooded person with a voice that screeched, about? and warning me of same.
Truth be told to ye, this fellow, what with his scars, his gruff manner, and the black band and eyepatch upon his visage, well, he did make me nervous. Fortunately I had not seen me this hooded person and told him so. The Menki lingered, then left with another warning to me.

So I do thankee fer the Patrols but, ...
Might yer vigilantes carry some sort of badge or crest or identifier so that we citizens, nervous already in the streets of Oja, might be more easily put at ease by the approach of these good Protectors?

My character, Akaiddo, is the so-called racist, but note that his insults were in reply to insults cast at him. He is not at all corrupt, just distrustful of other races, especially Diaboli, Ylians, and seeks only to protect the innocent law abiding citizens of Ojaveda. The Diaboli (plural) that he confronted struck him as being unlawful, as one refused to remove his mask and the other seemed to encourage this behaviour. A lawful citizen has no reason to hide his identity.]

For the record, ALL PATROL MEMBERS will have one of two Kore Irka Clan insignias on them. A red flaming paw, or the clan stamp. [as marked in my signature, on the right] I do ask that anyone not a member of Kore Irka Clan does not try to impersonate us, it will lead to alot of retribution for their grave misdeed.
Title: Re: [ONGOING] Patrols in Ojaveda.
Post by: Rigwyn on February 18, 2010, 11:42:50 am: An Ominous Message and a Wounded Member of House Cheshire

During Rigwyn's last stay at Ojaveda he managed to rifle though the message board outside the Broken Door. He managed to find a number of meeting notices apparently put up by a group called the "Enki Alliance". Reading the messages some more he discovered the names of several involved organizations and even the names of members of these organizations. Of interest were the Organizations: Kore Irka Clan, House Cheshire, and Royal House of Purrty. He made a mental note of these names and organizations before being trampled by Giroum Duprah and chased out of town by Akaiddo - one of the names mentioned on the bulletin.

A day or two had passed and Rigwyn returned on his drifter, this time with the intention of informing the fair citizens of Kore Ikra Clan's Racism and the dangers of associating with them. He bellowed threats of destruction to those who would do business with these racists.

He soared over a Fenki on the way and took note of a shiny badge she wore. He had seen this several times before in Hydlaa. It was a crest of House Cheshire. He chased and then circled Emmara a few times shouting "Disassociate with Kore Irka Clan or Perish ! Kore Irka Clan are Racists !" Emmara stared at Rigwyn, thinking "Great. Someone else that might come after us....Atagal will be thrilled".

He then circled back to Ojaveda where he hovered around what citizens he could find and shouted his ominous message "Kore Irka Clan are Racists ! Disassociate with Kore Irka Clan or Perish ! Those who conduct business with Kore Irka Clan shall pay with their lives and their dignity ! Disassociate with Kore Irka Clan or perish in shame !"

He left the city to head back to Hydlaa where he entered the sewers and shortly afterwards spotted a very attractive your Fenki. He stalked her whispering in an attempt to get her attention but was perhaps too quiet. Finally he shouted "You ! Your with House Cheshire aren't you !" Xssia shook her head, "Sorry, I'm as lost as you are..."

Rigwyn drew a sword and raised it at Xssia. She stepped back arms raised dropping daggers. He shouted once more "You are part of the Enki Alliance aren't you ! You associate with Kore Irka Clan !" "W-What!?" she exclaimed, "I don't understand?". Rigwyn stared at her badge which bore the House Cheshire crest and then back at Xssia shouting "Guilty !"

He then swung his sword at Xssia stepping in with his right foot. Xssia barely managed to avoid the blade and got a cut across her shoulder. Rigwyn grunted as he stepped into the swing somewhat off balance with his side facing Xssia . He began to turn back around to face her. Xssia held her bleeding shoulder with tears welling in her eyes, "I don't know what you're talking about... I only came here a few days ago."

Rigwyn growled at Xssia angrily shouting "You can thank the racist members of Kore Irka Clan for this experience. Next time choose your acquaintances wisely!" He then raised his sword over his head as he prepared for a downward chop. Xssia looked up at the blade then knelt down, bowing head in complete humility. Rigwyn narrowed his eyes and grit his teeth as he began to swing the sword downward and at Xssia's head. He lets out a violent shout as the blade drew closer and closer !

Xssia lifted up her arms to catch blade before it hit her head, still keeping her head bowed, tears now flowing freely, "I don't mind dying, but I can't let you sink to their level..." Rigwyn raised his swords again furiously and then slashed back downward at an angle with another hateful cry propelled by rage.

Xssia dodged to the side, the blade cutting through the back of her torso armor and the strips of cloth covering the skin of her back. She let out a scream as she fell face down on the stones. Rigwyn followed though with the swing and staggered towards Xssia. Oddly he began to feel a smidgen of guilt as he imagined what Cerryce might feel if she was in the same predicament. He shook his head snapping out of it and griped the sword with both hands as he raised it once more.

Xssia stayed face down on the stones. Covering her entire back was a large burn mark that started between her shoulder-blades and spread out like a pair of wings. A cut mark connected the two wings with an unusual lump above her spine. Xssia whimpered, "please don't look, please don't look at my back... please... please don't hurt me, I'll be good, I promise..."

Lacking empathy, Rigwyn drove the sword downward to a spot just below the left shoulder. His eyes widened as he envisioned the possibility of the sword tearing her lung open. He drove it down angrily putting his weight into it. Xssia was silent as the sword cut into her body, and she started coughing up blood. Between breaths she whispered, "I guess... Enkidukai aren't the only ones who wish to hurt me... I guess I really am a monster..."

Rigwyn felt the sword penetrate Xssia's ribs and strike the hard pavement below. He knelt down next to her and whispered "Where are your gods now ?" He then began to pull the sword out. Xssia 's eyes glazed over, "The gods... they weren't there when I was child... Why should they be here for me now?" She coughed up more blood.

Rigwyn whispered again, "Abandon all hope young monster. There are no gods to help you. You will send a message back to your house ! End your alliance with Kore Irka Clan or you will all be left to rot in the sewers." He then kicked sewer water at Xssia before he ran off leaving her alone and seriously wounded. She looked up half-dead, vision swimming as Rigwyn made his way though the sewers with a sadistic grin, wiping his sword on this leg as he cut around a corner.

[ Thank you Xssia for the excellent RP ! ]

Both I and jacul have been putting our heavily trained characters at serious risk for this rp. Our ic actions could get us cast into the crystal. Permadeath - or else a very substantial ic ban.
I intend to fully rp the consequences of my character's actions. I the octarchy destroys him then I'll start a new character. It would suck, but that's how it goes.

Your character and kore irka clan *favors* the enki race. Oocly some might call that racism, others might see it as favoritism or discrimination. I personally thing its good that your
Character has an opiion whether its wright or wrong - and stands by it. There is no right or wrong here
Your character is who he is and that is cool.

I encourage you to role play the consequences of your character's actions, beliefs and choices no matter where they lead.

My character once did jail time. I roleplayed being a prisoner during that time. The rp involved guards, fellow prisoners and an angry visitor.
It was still good rp.

I would hate for this rp to come to a halt. If your are really uncomfortable with it then perhaps we could agree to pause it
And negotiate the direction and boundries in an ooc discussion.]

Post by: Akkaido Kivikar on February 20, 2010, 03:44:08 am: [It's just annoying as Orvid was present at all of the events and knows my character is not racist at all. The smear campaign of Rig and Jac is fine, but having people call me racist, then change their description to wear a mask, and attack me yelling "Die, racist!" then claim that there is no way I could tell it was them, despite being the only Klyros in Ojaveda that week, and the only one to continually call me racist, and surely I could recognise his voice... it's frustrating and annoying.

I'm enjoying the RP with Jacula and Rigwyn though, and Denolyier...

We almost had Jacula today.... almost....

If I were him I wouldn't come back :P We showed we can beat him.

I do not want to halt or pause it at all, just getting annoyed at some of the lesser quality opponents I am getting, and feeling a little worse for wear that since starting patrols to clean up Ojaveda, crime has hiked upward in utter defiance... My character rarely has time to refresh himself before another attack. It's like Afghanistan in some ways.]

Post by: MellasFenixxes on February 20, 2010, 05:08:51 am: [I think this was better discussed with Orvid in /tells or PMs instead of directly in forums - in my experience he really does his best to be a good RPer and would've appreciated the feedback. And Akkaido, even though he may know you aren't racist IG, he can still put up any flyer that says otherwise ;D

Generally if someone doesn't want to be recognized IC'ly the first couple of times I don't mind, it's fun for both characters to keep the tension instead of dealing with it right away. Just my two tria.]

[The same goes for me. Obviously you are not a racist. But that would not stop those who look to cause Akaiddo harm to smear his name with the most foul titles and rumors. I take no offence OOC'ly when Jacula is called monster, fiend and murderer. For I am but a player enjoying the RP community, and Jacula is but a character.]

Post by: Akkaido Kivikar on February 20, 2010, 11:02:31 am: [Increasing the quantity of participants is fine, but I would like the RPing to be more organised efforts by both sides, as at the moment I have absolutely no idea who I'm fighting, apart from the obvious Jacula and Rigwyn... there's a whole host of dodgy characters who seem to show up just to be smartass, or to see if I ask them to take off their hood/mask... as I have said before, it's like Afghanistan in Oja with attacks sprouting from nowhere, and a minute later, someone else tries to jump me, or someone tries to attack me while I'm having a peaceful chat with someone... What I am trying to say is, rather than baddies come at me one at a time, you guys need to gang up... and wait for a few KIC members to be on together and go for us then... so we can have a fair battle and you guys can win... or at least come close. While it's nice to make ten bandits leave Oja in one day, it's not nice if they were all alone and will all be back in an hour or so.

Also note that due to the whole "we are a proud race" Enkidukai mentality, my character is unlikely to ask/accept help from characters of other races... because he wants his people to overcome this obstacle and prove their strength as a united people, not because I look down on chars from other races. I've already had someone get OOC upset about my character turning them down to join our patrols. My character would understand a Gugrontid Kran patrol wanting to remain Kran only.]

Post by: jaculapundactum on February 20, 2010, 02:08:21 pm: *Jacula approached Akaiddo with the unconditional terms of Ojavedas surrender. The proposal was declined and he was nearly captured. He contacted a menki named Enonel to set Akaiddo up and finish him once and for all, yet soon he realized that Enonel had tricked him. He found himself chased by Akaiddo and his brother yet again. Yet their luck had seemingly ran out, for both menkis was murdered by Jacula's hands. Enonel suffered a horrific fate for trying to double cross him "The battle for Ojaveda rages on, a new order beckons!"
Title: Re: [ONGOING] Patrols in Ojaveda.
Post by: Akkaido Kivikar on February 21, 2010, 07:15:16 am: Akaiddo blames Enonel for his death, for consorting with the enemy in such a way to begin with. As such, he is now suspicious of Enonel's intentions. Attempting a meeting with House Cheshire, he realised the leaderless clan was in no way able to fight, and until Barike returned to do something, Emmara was not capable of leading a fight to the enemy.

As such, the patrols will just continue.... the stand-off... unresolved.

I don't think it's OOC, I just looked at some sources and found some examples of mild racism. Dawrves: "They have a strong pride that sometimes develops into feuds with other clans or other races. They tend to be suspicious and quarrelsome towards other races that are taller than they are."

Post by: Rigwyn on February 24, 2010, 11:03:17 am: [ I don't think akaiddo is ooc or out of setting.
Take into account the events that happend prior to this moment.
I think his character would be a little less biased if these events
haddn't happened so soon.

Bear in mind rigwyn is trying to make this minor offence look like
Full blown racism.

Regardless, the conflict and pressure is good for the story. Let's see how this evolves :)
Thank you all for the great rp so far !

[racism isn't against settings. it's against the law. racism wouldn't be illegal if it didn't exist.]

[I say I would agree with that. If all races lived in harmony and racism was completely unknown, there would not be a law against it. And if the concept of racism was almost completely unknown, the Octarchal Decree would have to explain what racism is, which it doesn't. Therefore, in my opinion, it is widely known what racism means, although it might not occur frequently.]

well for one, im not talkin bout akkaido just to clear that up :P
but 2, racism is a part of life, lets say there is an enki who get killd by a ynwnn at an extremely young age, that could make said enki hate ynwnn and be racist to them the rest of the enkis life
a diffrent sanario is the lets say you have a dwarf, and he is young like the enki, and he has a friend thats klyrose, and he can beat the klyrose at anything and everything, that could make him grow up to think he is better then the klyrose, which is in turn, racist...
thats such reason why i think racism isnt ooc, its just IC mean-ness

Post by: Rigwyn on February 24, 2010, 05:25:22 pm: [ I strongly encourage you to discuss this in-game. Post a note on the Hydlaa message board stating that you wish to hold a public debate on the subject of race related bias. It might make for a very interesting role play. If you want to really make it into a special event then ask other players ICly to provide refreshments and security for those who would attend. If you really try to include as many characters as possible you could end up with one killer event. ]
