All hail the Mighty Boolrah!{Cancelled}

[Yinafae, all these characters that claim to be from outside Yliakum are violating the settings. That's impossible. If you claim that "refrigerator" was a mighty tool in your hometown and that that word has been kept in it for generations, it's still bad roleplay since it is an obvious OOC reference. By the way, since every strip of land in Yliakum is under control of some vigesimi, I doubt there are villages that refuse to follow the Octarchy. If they resisted, I don't think the Octarchy would hesitate to put an end to them.]

[On the other hand, the town could have a vigesemi that's working from the inside to put on a facade of cooperation with the system while plotting to bring the Octarchy down. Just sayin'.]

[Prolix]

[In the sense it is being used claim just means 'to assert in the face of possible contradiction.' People can claim anything and being from outside the realm is likely to be one of the more common claims in Yliakum. It doesn't make it true but is isn't much different than someone claiming to be the illegitimate son of the octarch, born in the Death Realm, or the last surviving descendant of the first Klyros Talad suffered to live. There is an outside beyond the BDs and some NPCs actually go there, so claiming to be from there is not against the settings. Actually being from there is less conforming to the settings but only your hairdresser knows for sure.]

["My friends of the Dark Flame"? I really recommend you to do some in-game reading and questing on the Flame, since shouting out his name in public is something a true follower would never do. It would also get you killed quite fast, no matter how mighty you are.]

[I'm gonna go a little off-topic here but this is not the first time I've seen something like this happen so I'm gonna throw in my two trias...

Split the thread: one for IC entries only and another for OOC comments, or request that these be submitted via PM. This board is for players to share their RPs but it often steers into OOC discussions of what is good/bad RP or exists/does not according to the settings, and even though most of the time they start off with the good intention of helping the plot, they are an effective RP-killer and I think we can all agree that's not something want.

So, to the people behind the plot: be ready for criticism, even if you've done all the efforts to make sure your plot is within settings, and if you haven't yet, well, make sure it is. And for the people commenting on the plot, keep it constructive and try PMing and avoid posting OOC in this kind of thread, as stated by the board rules:

(...)2. Keep your posts in the right threads. Do not post out-of-character posts in in-character threads (except in small bracketed [] footnotes/headers-these footnotes and headers should not be the majority of the post and should not be used to criticize or argue about other posts). Do not post in-character posts in out-of-character threads (including threads marked "[Event]" ). All in-character threads should be marked "[RP]" at the beginning, i.e. "[RP]The Evil Sorcerer." If you have a problem with someone's post (i.e. it is out-of-character when it should in-character or it uses profanity, etc), do not post. Send me a PM detailing the problem, and I'll address it.(...)

Best of luck with your plot, A_Traveler et all. If you wish to split the thread, just PM a forum moderator and they'll work their magic. Feel free to contact me if you need any advice.]

[He's not a followr of the Flame; he just openly supports them, from what I've gleaned while roleplaying with him.]

[Raa]

[He'd still get murdered.]

[I  think is was a mistake trying to corrupt Valiki, everyone knows him and he has many friends... you will never rest in peace again ^_^]

Valiki lay in bed, the images of the mysterious man flashing in his mind. His mother was furious when she found out that this man had given him alcohol, and was told to use a sword against the government.

Valiki closed his eyes and curled into a ball. Why was the man lying? He seemed so nice... and what in the heck was a revolution? These thoughts swam through his head in chaos as he tried his best to fall asleep. He looked over to see his twin brother sleeping peacefully in the other bed. Valiki sighed and turned over. After a while he drifted into an uneasy sleep.

[You can't just "openly support" the Flame. You don't do that, no matter if you're a real follower or not. People who want to create roleplays about the Flame: Do the Dark Flame quests in-game first, all of them, and read all the books in the Dark Flame library!]

[NirAntae]

[Just for my two trias...

A_Traveller, you know I adore you and adore playing with you.  And it's great that you want to make all these RP events for people to participate in.

However, the reason they keep failing, is you push a little too far, assume a little too much.  If he were 'just a madman' saying these things, it would be fine.  But saying that he comes from an entire village and history that feels this way, and you butt head with the official setting.

Likewise with the mercenaries...  if it had been a group of say, ten or fifteen, who came looking for XXXX and XXXX, it would have been fine.  But instead you had a whole 'army', killed a child publicly, and said you were from or supported by the government...  thus upsetting many people.

Keep making RP events, by all means!  Just drop the scale a little bit.  Let things -build- to that point.]

[Prolix]

[I take issue with the criticisms about "the dark flame." The suppressed religion is the Black Flame ... no? It would seem to me that the ideas spread in this thread would cause suspicion and intense scrutiny on the part of the authorities and perhaps fear and retribution on the part of the populace, it would also generate some confusion as to whether or not it was associated with the sect. The "dark flame" might even throw suspicion on the Dark Empire and smear things good!]

[Not another DE conspirator . All they got to hide is money . BF isn't surpressed. It's unknown. And mentioning it in public wouldn't be something a sane person does, since there are things worse than death.]
