Duelers are good Roleplayers?

[Parallo]

Feel free to interact with me ingame. I dont have an alliance with four other guilds and have a guild over 60 strong because i can't RP. Yesteday 100 people didnt rush to my defense when i was insulted by a noob because i can't roleplay.

And i've not double-posted a single time. Or perhaps you dont know what a double post is?

Four by my count...
Anyway, what bearing does being in a guild have on your roleplaying abilities? What bearing does having alot of people have? If anything the former is assosiated with bad rping due to the obvious correlations.

What bearing does convincing 60 souls to commit to your cause have on RP? Hmmm......

What bearing does an alliance with 4 separate guilds have on RP? Hmmm....

Does the term "charisma" mean anything to you? How about "diplomacy"? How about carrying yourself with "excellence and honor that others might follow your example"?

I "roleplay" an effective leader well because i WAS an effective leader while serving as an NCO in the US Army. I don't have to "roleplay" leadership because i do it in RL every day as president of my own company. All i have to do is replace modern english with the english of the day, and i could fit into any century. Ask anyone that interacts with me in game.

And obviously, no, you do not know what a double post is.

I could have 60 half wit noobs join me any day. That will have no bearing on my role playing.

If you want to quote several people you can right click on the quote button, open in new tab/window, and cut/paste into the original window. Unless someone has been removing intervening posts and not consolidating yours you certainly appear to be double posting. Most of us think a double post is two posts in succession.

By definition a double post is two identical posts in a row.

I do not like making huge posts because A) They are very time consuming, B) few people actually read long posts, and C) ive had far too many long posts sucked into the vapor of cyberspace over the years for a variety of reasons.

If the mods dont like my posts, they'll remove them. If you don't like them, don't read them.

Hello.

Any time you have two posts in a row, it is considered a double post.  Exception being if the time gap between the two posts is a day or more. 

Please take a look at our forum posting policy and follow them.  By repeatily double posting, in blantent regard of the rules, even after you have been warned, you are defying direct orders from the Mod and Admin staff.  By defying direct orders, you open up yourself to have your posting privaledges removed.

I don't like having to do that, so I strongly suggest you use the modify feature.  I understand that some forums allow you to post twice in a row, if replying to different posts each time, but around here, that doesn't fly.  So again, simply modify your post, if no one has posted after you.  ok?

And as for what I see developing here, I strongly suggest you both take a chill pill. Else, I may be cracking some heads soon.

Constructive coments are your friend.  Lets stay away from he name calling.

I guess you don't like being around atheletes or top competitors IRL either?

(...)

Hmmm, yes, clearly you are a jock-hater.

I bet it burns you up that football players and boxers are also so-admired by most.

I can't see how these comments make any valid point. They appear to be a personal attack instead. If that was not your intention might be good to clarify before anyone takes offense. I think Zanzibar opened this thread to discuss how duels are incorporated to RP and what consequences are brought by them. Agree or disagree with him but use arguments to support your point not falacies to discredit others' opinions.

And yes, double-posting (making two posts in a row) is against forum rules except under certain circumstances. You can check the forum rules here.


edit: dang neko! you beat me again!

I didn't know they were my superiors here...

Just don't give orders to people post what they don't wish to...

And don't defy their orders!

[lordraleigh]

Well, one of my characters was challenged 4 times by others without any previous RP to it, and the duels in the Death Realm are very roleplay-wise I believe. So I think that in most cases, duelers aren't RPers, but PKers.

Do not flame the staff.
They have the final say. This forum isn't a democracy. Your vote doesn't always count. They try to please everyone they can, but in the end, they're charged with making this community as enjoyable for as many people as they possibly can. They can not always be right, nor can they please everyone with the decisions made, but they're doing their "jobs" and hopefully we can all agree that they're doing their bests to ensure a good community here. Even if you despise authority and curse down the highest ranking official in your national government, let it be known that senseless acts of lack of respect will not be tolerated.

Dueling in the DR is a common practice but I don't think anyone involved sees it as IC. Personally, I don't and that is agreed with the players involved. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Duels are a good feature to have, just like crafting. Do only that and you miss out on lots of other things. Your choice though.

[lordraleigh]

There are rules, I know that, but this was a way to point neko's words seemed to imply all are subalterns to the staff.

And claiming everyone is a subordinate to them and must obey blindly their orders seems to be a little excessive.

There is a great difference between saying

"Respect the rules of the forum, the staff exists to enforce them and guarantee a safe and peaceful environment"

and

"Obey the devs and moderators, regardless of what they're asking for being or not included on the rules, once you register here you become automatically a subordinate of them"

Raleigh, the topic is dueling and it's effects on IC.  Please, stop trolling.

Dueling in the Death Realm is alright by my books.  It works alright with the setting.

The only thing is that many Players seem to have forgotten that their characters feel pain.  People may wish to become stronger, but, after having a dagger stabbed into you, I doubt you would want to run back and feel that again.

The message was done, it is ended, and it wasn't intended for trolling, but as a pointer to advise on avoiding the use of such words that have a negative impact over the community.

Dueling in the Death Realm is alright by my books.  It works alright with the setting.

As if it was alright that "*character* has killed himself", duels in the DR for some minutes and them quickly returns back to life as if escaping from the Death Realm was a piece of cake. It's more of an OOC fun than anything else.

The only thing is that many Players seem to have forgotten that their characters feel pain.

And also fear, anxiety, impatience, etc.

There is no way such factors influence on a duel. They fight like if they were robots. One character may have 20 dagger wounds against him or her and will still fight with the same capacity of before.
