But yet most of you guys wear masks/hoods in public places, just screaming "I'M A BAD GUY"... to be honest, this was the one little niggle about the roleplay that annoyed me the most. That and the switching of costumes, meaning two minutes after I saw someone unhooded, unmasked, he had changed costumes to being hooded and masked, and attacked me, then I got crap for recognising him when he switched back again.

Kidnapping Dharke, nice idea, easier said than done, considering her rate of activity :P

Do the crime while hooded. Do not do it if you are not hooded. If you change, change before coming in. Do not remove hoods in town. If seen in town, you can never go in anymore. Going in, you need to have "sneak in shadows, stealth, etc." So you could go in at night the guards on the front door are the only problem.

Edit: Maybe use the sewers but we can't really "dig" in this game. Some people invent their own spells why not invent that one? [/godmod]
the implementation of a dark dark black or blue cloak, that simply hides your face witha shadow, it would solve almost all the problems with the criminals, it would make being evil p[ossible without complaint..
Dohmo: Please clean up your language immediately.
Me: as i just said, what i said, fits in the guidlines of rated PG, i was just explaining to the G guy
Dohmo: Sorry I tried to e nice
Dohmo: and i'm telling you to clean it up. last warning
Dohmo: now just do it
Dohmo: No more warnings

Abuse?

Nah. Maybe a cloak of invisibility but other than that, Hydlaa is pretty guarded and there are too many "nice" characters. So a cloak would mean ----> Percival points at Zonthek "Remove that cloak now or I will slash you open, imposter"

I like Kaisa's way of holding confusion back, she always uses a /me is wearing... to make whoever she is RPing with sure of any changes to her appearance.

But yeah, to be brutally honest, all bad guys in PlaneShift are starting to get incredibly similar. Smartass sarcastic ratbags.... I liked the variety we used to have.

To be honest, I wish more criminal-types would be a little more... creative.    The hood thing bothers me, since it's extended to the point of ridiculousness: if a character is standing right in front of a hooded criminal, they dang well should be able to see their face, unless the criminal has some kind of face veil on in addition.   A hood that creates sufficient shadow to actually hide your face also almost certainly makes it really freaking hard to see more than five inches in front of you - and forget any and all thoughts of peripheral vision!   

I'll roll with the convention since everyone else does, but it still completely weirds me out.

Well sorry but this thread has gotten too long! hehe
Well I have came up with many 'reasons' for a war.
Followers of different gods: this is a very popular thing that has been going on in PlaneShift
Cities: Well Ojaveda is only... well days from Hydlaa and well someone finds some long lost history of Ojaveda way before it was taken over by the Ochtarchial, this 'person' feels the need of Ojaveda to split from the rest of Yliakum to course diversity. and yeah.
You maybe roleplaying but you could still be OOC.

Back to raggin on the bad guys eh?

Try and play a bad guy. Roll a new character and try to rp and succede in:
* pick pocketing someone in a crowd without getting caught.
* luring someone out of the city and offing them
* kidnapping someone

Try to rp doing these things without getting caught. Play as if you wanted to use this character for a long time.
Is not as easy as it might appear.

Lastly try to play a character like this for a month and consistently:
* be mean and rule to others - even when you feel like being nice
* don't piss anyone off oocly
* ensure that the victims of your crimes are entertained.
* role play each and every consequence of your actions no matter what they are.

Like Rigwyn said. but let me add that my character is not that bad of a guy and I am still having troubles with the above things that he said.

* ensure that the victims of your crimes are entertained. - This is what I try but what ends up happening is people godmodding their way into "knowing" that my character did it (Note that I am not even a "mass murderer" of some kind. Plus I don't do the crimes often, only sometimes) so it often leads to this:   * role play each and every consequence of your actions no matter what they are.
It's not really that easy. I feel that I piss somebody OOCly all the time and at the end of it that they did not have any entertainment. in /tells, all players always say "I should have attacked you", I should have ran away". I always feel like they need to change it to "[my char] should have attacked [your char]", "[my char] chould have ran away".

Back upper:

Yes, you see these are all possible. I mean if  your char is an "expert" and has been doing it for years, They should be able to do this. Yes maybe with some risks but I see many people roleplaying themselves [their character but it seems that they think THEY are the CHARACTER which is not] out of it. People needs to be honest about their characters : would they actually be able to get out of the situation? are they actually fast enough to run away? are they strong enough? injuries? I know this has been discussed a million times but no one seems to be getting it.

I know all this crap about "you can't force anyone to roleplay with you" yadi yada yada. Well this is  the roleplaying server. If no one wants to roleplay or godmods their way out of it, then what is the point of the roleplaying server?

It is hard

Think about the "cloaks". I mean some has tried masks,  heck I even tried dried blood and mud just for the sake out of it (which i'm never trying by the way). They are not always cloaks or hoods.
Similar? well we would need more players playing at the same time now would not we? That way they would learn from each other. (they can also adjust OOCly)

And they are not all Smartass sarcastic ratbags. looks like it because you are controlling a cocky guard. Like Rigwyn said, try playing a bad guy.
(this is not just for Akkaido anyways. Like Rigwyn stated "Back to raggin on the bad guys eh?". meant for them(the bad guy raggers))

How on the earth could it be possible that one person makes one idea called the Octarchy, and some how everyone in Yliakum just decides to follow it.
I think that Ojaveda was taken over by the Octarchy, since Enkidukais tend to like to be split, e.g Dsars for each pack shows separation within Ojaveda, I really don't think the Enkidukai would of ever thought about joining the Octarchy and obeying there regulations, especially letting anyone live anywhere within Yliakum, e.g letting Trasok move to Dsar Akkaio. And making all the Enkidukais learn Lamur. Its like taking an Ethiopian to the USA and expecting them to just fit in with society it is just ridiculous, and so unreal!
You maybe roleplaying but you could still be OOC.
