suishohatake Sellesion suishohatake Sellesion suishohatake Oh wow! Okay I haven't seen anything that took place, but I've heard from two people already via text... I talked to Gera already about getting the committee together that I wanted for the rules and such so we can keep having RPs on the thread... He can't do anything until winter break though and I doubt Auriga can do anything major until then too... but maybe we can use this a bit for now to discuss things that need to be tended to rule-wise... I'm angry or anything... but I did get frustrated enough that I told both Amu and Yuui that if drama keeps happening on the thread because of RPs, whether it has to do with them or not, that as threadmistress, I may have no other choice but to limit RPing to interactions with anon messages and mule accounts... I don't want to have to do that... but at least they both know I mean business anyway. sad *nods affirmatively* Well understood Suisho. :] To begin with, I feel that a CLEAR definition of what we creepers consider as godmoding should be established. Though we all know basically what it is, it is often under debate weather a person actually did or not. It would help if we cleared that up. Then, as what has caused issue not only today, but in several instances in the past, is the topic of death and revival. Yuui was upset today because for a while Amu's ability to use water even after death seemed unfair. Amu's justyfycation about it is that it is tied to her soul and her character's species is a water fairy. Therefore, while a ghost, which is descirbed as a soul caught between this world and the next, logic would say she should be able to still command her abilities. My understanding of it is as follows: Quote: I know Amu. Its for those very same reasons that I never had an issue with it myself. And it always seemed to me that your control over your powers was limited as a ghost; took much more effort and practice. I always thought it was a unique character choice which allowed some form of communication even though you were dead, which allows you to not be excluded completely from the fun and the story of everything as it happens. If you have no way of communication, and people forget you're dead, no one will revive you, and then you'll be stuck out of the RP or otherwise be accused of god-moding and making people upset... so to me, using water while being a ghost was never too unreasonable. That's why I bother to be an angel. It was brought up in RP once that I was, so I stuck with it for continuity, even though my character Sellesion, really is a forest elf with water bending powers and intense training in the art of making and using archaic weaponry. ^^"" However, I do understand how Yuui could feel how he does. But I disagree with how he handled stuff. Also, if he's going to be that way about you using your powers, then I think we need to see an end or compromise with this whole 'Steve" business as well. Though I don't feel Amu's ability to use water as a ghost is unfair, I understand how Yuui can feel it is. But in the same light, things such as "Steve" coming around when Yuui dies, and being able to attack and get involved in everything should be considered equally as unfair because it allows him to circumvent the fact that he's dead; allowing death to hold no real limitations upon him. Same goes for anything of the like, which, many of us do. Therefore, I feel that we should set clear limits as to how things like that can and cannot be done. For example, Under circumstances such as Amu and her water abilities: 1.) Is it clearly connected with the previous establishment of the character? 2.) Was it made common knowledge? 3.) How does it change after someone dies? So, to me, Amu's ability was common knowledge, and was pre-established, so that makes it relatively fair because others can consider it when making their own actions. What would make it unfair is if Amu after death still had complete and unlimited control over the water as if nothing happened; therefore making death pointless ect. No one really likes immortal sorts of characters. But to my understanding, when dead, Amu's abilities had limits. Like she wasn't as strong, it took more energy, and for those reasons she couldn't do things such as attack without wiping herself from existence because ghosts are basically only energy. In this case, I find it fair. BECAUSE it has limits. I think that unless we want to go the easy and boring route of basically cutting people out of the game once they die (Unless a healer bothers to remember that they're dead) then we need to come up with a fair set of limits for abilities after death, and make sure each RP'er takes responsibility for making their character's abilities and such known beforehand in order to still allow an equally fair amount of participation in RP for the dead. (Hope that all makes sense) That all makes sense 3nodding I agree with what you are saying... Some of us, the RP Suisho included, have vastly great powers, and it takes some creativity to come up with ways to keep from overtly godmodding. Most of our characters godmod to a certain extent and it adds some intrigue to things at times... but all things in moderation... I think a limit to that should be imposed... 3nodding Suisho became more powerful so that she would be less likely to die while carrying the baby inside of her, but she'd exhaust herself easier, which could leave her potentially vulnerable... that actually was based on how I was feeling at the time (exhausted), but also my way of establishing a balance. Personally, so long as whatever capabilities a character has, have an equal vulnerability established as well, I have no problem with advancing a character quickly... but I also feel that one's character can't do everything... One only has so much time in the world... so you can't really learn how to do everything... or at least not well anyway... if one wants to be a jack of all trades... they obviously won't be as good at shooting an arrow as someone who has established that they have trained for years as a ranged fighter, because that is what that person is specialized in... Suisho is best at metalsmithing and reviving... Knowing a bit of magic, she can call herself a mage, but not a good one... for example, on the rare occasion that she becomes angry, she loses control and becomes a bit of a she-Hulk for awhile, lol. That's not to say Suisho is a perfect RP character by any means... I just try my best to make her fair and not so powerful that she keeps others from being able to do what she does or have fun doing whatever they are doing in the RP. I'm perfectly willing to amend her abilities though to accomodate whatever rules wind up imposed. Also with the ghost stuff... I think a tiny bit of interaction via ghostliness is fine... like with Kate and the ice pillars to get Suisho's attention... I do think Kate's way of being a ghost is interesting... a slightly unpredictable way of handling her powers outside of the spirit world, but still being able to use them... however limited by exactly what you say... energy of their spirit... I do think unlimited interaction between ghosts can happen, though I feel ghostliness to be something of a neutral zone... I think some hijinks between the ghosts can easily occur for some fun while waiting for a war to be over, hehe Thank you. emotion_yatta Yes, exactly. 3nodding a balance must be maintained in order to make things fair and fun for everyone. If there is one person solely running the show it makes it very frustrating; like playing an all too linear game that doesn't let you make any choices. Personally Suisho, I quite like how you manage your character in RP, it always seems logical, and I've never seen anyone have an issue. Much like a mother dragon of course- firey wrath but with an apparent weakness and clear boundries. A dragon who's domain is fire won't suddenly go swimming, breath ice, or spit acid. But their scales are tough and they have their own ways of doing things. Whilst all in all, some one else could still be a dragon, or come about and try to be a dragon slayer. Fair is fair. And indeed, I do like Kate's ways of doing things. I remember that time. 3nodding I enjoy being able to interact with those who are dead in the occasional shenanigans- as you would expect with any ghost or poltergeist- and as I said I feel it's not only fair, but it keeps things interesting too. There is that other aspect though that you pointed out, and I realized I don't see a lot of it. People who are dead could easily interact with those who are also dead as if they were both alive because their on the same field of existence. That would make for only not an interesting turn of events or two to watch, but it would open doors for various activities for them to still have fun while they're "dead". I feel that if we establish rules that allow for powers/abilities/whatnot, only, with limitations logical to the fact that they/we are ghosts, such as how Kate used the small ice pillars, then everyone could be satisfied. Especially if we point out that ghosts could interact more with one-another. I mean, it's not like there's only ever one of us dead at one time, and it would allow EVERYONE to potentially do things in death; one way or another, based on their own characters specifications. And since those specifications are up to them, they ought to be happy, yes? Awww! Why thank you! ^///^ The same can be said for your character as well! ^^ I agree! And I hope Kate has some good input as well when she comes and reads over this. I do like the idea of a suggestion thread and such... It saddens me that some people might abandon the guild if it gets too dramatic in here again... the fact that we are having this issue in here just means that we're going to keep having it in the future wherever we go unless some guidelines are given... so why not start here? Perhaps this can establish a better unity and people will want to RP more then and the thread will get a little boost of excitement! ^^ You're very welcome! And Thank you too! I try to keep up continuity and play fair. >< Like when I was fighting Yuui while he was crazy... there was so much left open ended sometimes it felt like. >w< Then I died cus if Minky, but Auri didn't think I looked dead, so I went with it.. and then Sapphire said what happens to angels when we die saying we don't keep our abilities so I figured out an explanation, and worked with it too. >w< RP gets confusing sometimes. XP I'm sure Kate will have some good ideas. She's smart and nice and it was her idea for the suggestion thread anyways. 3nodding It is sad that we've come to a point like this though, I really couldn't agree more on that. I love everyone here and don't want to see anyone go. We've all been friends for so long it just seems so petty for something like RP to get between us.. >< Perhaps though you'll be right and things will turn around and some nice new rules will be able to make people happy and get things back to being awesome! ^w^

 Don't think the smart part is true buuuuuuuuut.... COMPLIMENTS! Okay, so I just finished reading those long posts within posts. HAHA. Trying to put a joke in here somewhere. Not working? Alright, fine. Seriousness. First regarding Amu's character's ghost abilities: I have never seen this brought up as a negative until now. Surprises me it's brought up finally since you would think someone would have complained about it earlier. Wasn't brought up in a good way, though, and it started small drama. To be honest, I have no idea what her limit is while in that realm. I guess maybe since I've never seen her character exhausted while using her water abilities I'm unsure. Weeelll... It's more like I don't really know her character much to begin with. I really didn't have much of a problem, however, it seems certain people do. And in a way, I understand. Ghosty stuffs: There has to be some sort of rules put into effect when it comes to being dead. I will even throw myself in whatever type of prison there is for failing to follow these sort of realm rules. YES. ADMITTING WRONG. MARK THIS DAY! I've hit my character with nerf after nerf after nerf when it comes to her magic abilities and what she can and cannot do. Being a ghosty... *facepalms* I should of known better. I will say thank you to both of you for liking how I did things with her but it should of been the same way as how she can't make contact with people/has troubles. I mean, if she can do that, why can't she know what to do with other sort of stuff? Yeah she does get tired after only using a few small spells but... meeeh. Probably takes the same amount of effort, maybe even more. So, for me, I'm kicking that out. Now as a ghost we should all kinda have an idea just what you can and cannot do. So far, our basic guidelines have been... 1. Being able to talk with those amongst the living. 2. FLOAT AS MUCH AS YOU PLEASE! 3. Uhhh... I think ghosts have touched things before? CONFIRM THIS. I do not agree that everyone should be given some sort of ability while dead. You're dead, right? You shouldn't be able to do anything except maybe interact, do ghost stuff, and that's it. However, I want to see how others feel about that matter first. People are not Ghost Pokemon or any RPG that had ghost monsters appear. Amu wise, I would like to know her limitations with that as well. Can she learn new stuff? Can she attack people? Just how much does it weaken her if she uses something? Maybe if people understand that, she'll probably be fine continuing what she does while possibly adding new limitations to it. Regarding Steve: I've seen people also bring this up just now too. I know some of us have other characters they roleplay with (Me: Main, Unknown, Witch). When Yuui dies, Steve appears. *resisted a Pokemon joke* It seems he also can kill while roleplaying this character too. I see why some brought it up. It just seems unfair that, while other users are dead, he can go about and kill again. Although, this doesn't happen too much. Only times I've seen are Leon Style headshot and that beer incident. I think Steve is fine to appear but also needs to be limited if he appears while Yuui is dead. If Steve's life is threatened while Yuui is dead, I believe it's fair game here. If Yuui is alive and Steve is around, it's fair game also at that point. Just how I see it with that matter. Basic roleplaying rules: Possible another matter that needs to be discussed. There's a thread that's already made, if you haven't seen it yet. I think some other rules need to be thrown in it too. Godmodding. Ooooh, that's a big one here. Easily another thing I would like to get feedback from with other users of this guild. Also, Mary-Sues/Gary Stu. Though, I think at this point we get that. TL'DR TAGS: Stuff about characters, ghosts, rules, poor jokes added in this post.

TL'DR TAGS: Stuff about characters, ghosts, rules, poor jokes added in this post. About my powers: Since I haven't really used water-powers much whilst dead....The most I've done with them, as a ghosty, has been recent, actually. I generally try to not use them at all, because it's easier for everyone else. I just figured that I really couldn't attack (And that I shouldn't, since I'm a ghost and all....but that distracting was an okay thing to do), would be weaker, only able to throw water, but not make shapes, do special stuff like that. I also assumed that if I did something big, like making a whole lot of water appear, I'd quickly exhaust my energy and disappear, but that small things, like making a thin layer of ice on the ground or sending water at something/one, wouldn't take too much energy at all (but a lot of those type things at one time would.) And regarding learning new powers....I would assume I could train things I'd already learned....but it'd take way, way longer than if I was alive. Learning new things....no. Again, it's tied to my soul. If I don't know something before I'm dead, I pretty much can't learn it as a ghost...least that's what I figure. (which just caused me to realize there is some healing that I am not capable of knowing, since I was a ghosty at the time, so those will "poof" from my knowledge and be learned later) Also, How many times do I have to say to people that if they have an issue with something I do/have done, tell me. I don't bite, so long as you've a legitimate reason for what you're telling me and well explained reason to back it up. Ghosts: Ghosts have touched things before, like food (and the food became "Ghost food" when this happened) I also recall ghosts causing stuff to float about (such as books) but never that they were able to touch an item (past food, that is)....only that their hand/body went through it. And I recall someone who was a ghost hiding in a painting at one point. Steve: I think Steve was brought up as a "Well, if xyz thing is unfair, then you should also consider that zyx thing that you do is also not really fair." (I could be wrong about that, though...)

I wasn't meaning that everyone should be given some sort of ability while their dead, but rather, that if one or two people's abilities carry over into the afterlife that their should be equal opportunity for something similar to that available for everyone to whom's character it applies. So that it stays fair. My thoughts on Ghosts:-I agree that they should be able to talk with the living, for the sake of RP, unless a character specifically cannot see them for some established reason. - Touching and floating small things like food and books is ok by me. - Floating themselves, and passing through walls seem like basic ghost maneuvers to me and therefore also seem plenty fair. - Anyone with abilities after death heavily risks wiping themselves from existence because a ghost's entire being relies on the energy they have since they do not have a physical body. Therefore anyone would be extremely weakened as a ghost and basically just limited to your basic ghost shenanigans, and communication with their powers. For example; If Amu can move a book as a ghost, why can't she move a little water when her species is tied to water via their very soul? About "Steve" and other things like him:I did bring it up as a ""Well, if xyz thing is unfair, then you should also consider that zyx thing that you do is also not really fair." sort of thing. I understand that Steve is another character and generally it is alright to play more than one character, but I don't feel that Steve has been played in that manner all the time, seeing as he only shows up when Yuui dies, and then Yuui is nowhere to be found, allowing Yuui to bypass the limitations of death. I feel that if things like powers after death are going to be targeted as a problem, then things with Steve need to be tweaked/remedied a little; Like what Kate said, he ought to show up at various times, and be fair game for RP killing and everything else that any character has to go through. If he shows up and Yuui disappears while being dead, then Steve should have reasonable limits, ect. Simply all for balance. ohgoshmarysues. >> *Has been trying to un-mary-sue Selle for a long time since she was made up in teh 4'th grade*

( I finally got some time to reply to what I thought was going to be a longer post! lol! )I can agree with all of that both of you are saying... And I'm sure there's ways I can and probably should un-Sue Suisho a bit... lol sweatdrop I'm almost thinking that maybe in order to weed out a little of the godmodding... that maybe we should have a thread in the RP forums that is kinda like the introductions panel, but it will contain the gist of what your character is like (I know I need to do this badly for Suisho ^^ wink , including a few special abilities unique to your character, and a list of unique weaknesses or something like that... something that lets everyone know that the character is not invincible and/or omniscient... Even if it's not a perfect balance, just something... I dunno... if there are any ideas for this, by all means throw them out here! ^^;; Oh and I did want to let you both know that you are of the short list of people who can be talked to about RP issues on the main post of the discussion thread. ^_^ I know I can't be around all the time now as a mod, and the whole reason you're here discussing it with me in the first place is because you both are fair about things and want to see people having fun, not getting upset with each other. So I'm leaving most of the decision making and discussion of these RP guidelines to you four. I'll just be overseeing what you're doing and adding whatever input I can think of... I hope you both don't mind... and if you want to quote the other two in, that's cool too... though I figure both of them will be a bit scarce at the moment with the end of the semester/finals coming up and all.

So, an introduction thread for your characters? Huh... Good idea. Would kinda be like making a character sheet in an actual roleplay. That would actually be a lot easier than having to click into someone's journal or profile. Bet people wouldn't mind that at all. Would just need to make a quick sheet. Add stuff like Name: Age: Gender: History: (Maybe. Depends) Personality: Abilities/Powers (if any): etc etc. Although, the weakness part is iffy. I mean, someone could easily exploit that. HAHA! I SUDDENLY FOUND YOUR WEAKNESS! AAAAAAAAHHHH! OH NO! MY OPPONENT HAS LEARNED OF MY HIDDEN WEAKNESS THAT HAS BEEN KEPT HIDDEN FOR MANY YEARS! Although, I don't think people here would do such a thing. Anyway, now asking for dat permission, Suisho. I can has suggestion thread now? emotion_kirakira

RandomKate suishohatake I'm almost thinking that maybe in order to weed out a little of the godmodding... that maybe we should have a thread in the RP forums that is kinda like the introductions panel, but it will contain the gist of what your character is like (I know I need to do this badly for Suisho ^^ wink , including a few special abilities unique to your character, and a list of unique weaknesses or something like that... something that lets everyone know that the character is not invincible and/or omniscient... Even if it's not a perfect balance, just something... I dunno... if there are any ideas for this, by all means throw them out here! ^^;; Oh and I did want to let you both know that you are of the short list of people who can be talked to about RP issues on the main post of the discussion thread. ^_^ I know I can't be around all the time now as a mod, and the whole reason you're here discussing it with me in the first place is because you both are fair about things and want to see people having fun, not getting upset with each other. So I'm leaving most of the decision making and discussion of these RP guidelines to you four. I'll just be overseeing what you're doing and adding whatever input I can think of... I hope you both don't mind... and if you want to quote the other two in, that's cool too... though I figure both of them will be a bit scarce at the moment with the end of the semester/finals coming up and all.

I can make an announcement about it tonight =)

Amu Tsukiyomi-sama KuroKageHane I know we said that 7 was going to be the max number, but Sellesion wants to join this too. Can we possibly squeeze her in? She already has a character made too. O: . . . there goes my 7 Sins theme . . .Perhaps she could be a Protegee? *does not know what Selle's character is* Depending, then she could "help" whichever one of us seven her character is the most like. That way it's still -technically- seven and Selle is still able to join in. She could be! Great idea Amu! emotion_kirakira Her character is: Quote: I'd want her to be an embodiment of Lust, but not a temptress like Amu's character. I mean, she'd be pretty, but you can lust after anything really, not just in a sexual way. She'd be intelligent, and dressed more like a butler than a maid.. however... she'd also be a Chiraptophobic, meaning she'd be afraid of being touched. A pretty, mysterious, intelligent girl whom attracts people to her, but hates being touched even though everything would suggest otherwise.. emotion_awesome Like:
*Flirts*
Some guy later, putting his arm around her, "Hey beautiful...."
*cuts his arm off and walks away shaking*
*suddenly calm*
"Master, my apologies. Let me clean up that blood, it's unsightly."
emotion_dowant So technically she would help you. o.o What a great coincidence. O:

suishohatake ( I finally got some time to reply to what I thought was going to be a longer post! lol! )I can agree with all of that both of you are saying... And I'm sure there's ways I can and probably should un-Sue Suisho a bit... lol sweatdrop I'm almost thinking that maybe in order to weed out a little of the godmodding... that maybe we should have a thread in the RP forums that is kinda like the introductions panel, but it will contain the gist of what your character is like (I know I need to do this badly for Suisho ^^ wink , including a few special abilities unique to your character, and a list of unique weaknesses or something like that... something that lets everyone know that the character is not invincible and/or omniscient...

That's a good idea Suisho. That way everyone has quick access to character info and stuff if they simply want to know, or ask "can they do that??" Oh, ok. I understand. ^^ Other two? Amu aaaaaand...?
