Someones on a power trip, i hate how people like you are arrogant enough to feel that they can intervene but dont expect the 2 people who are fighting eachother to finish job, Im reffering to where you leg loranzo reg
no, more like suck off, that wasnt even me in the post, it was a friend of mine that told me to put it on the boards...

In that case i hate people like yer friend who throw their weight around like f***ing morons reg

Yah can stop it with the stars now and create better words for conversational purposes.

Maybe i should paste the log of when Engles was trying to push me around and got killed, then he tried to kill me back and i killed him again, i was loving that one for weeks. reg
Heh nice gossard reg
Pitiful . . . I see no maturity here.

It amazes me that Gemstone is considered a roleplaying game and still to this day, I see no proof of it.

If you want to duel, fine. But to bring duels like this to he boards and argue and bicker over it shows no indication of roleplaying value.

There is no difference between IC and OOC actions it seems. What takes place in game is just as much OOC as it is IC if there is ever any IC in the first place. reg

I am not much of a dueler Mallagra but I do support it. I think your comments are very wrong. To say dueling is ooc it is just being very bullheaded. Dueling is very much in character. If your character is a tough guy who likes to show off his strength and thats how you play him in no way is that ooc. Not too mention there really is no bickering he. The dueling is all in good humor. And you also say there is no maturity here? That is a pretty ignorant statement. 90 percent of the time when someone says something like that they are just as immature as the next person. And it is very hard to judge a person through a computer screen. You best bet if yah want to complain to people about immaturity is to look into an aol chatroom or such. People here have been very mature. No bad language after I requested it and some friendly competition through a video game.

Lord Deprav reg

Deprav,

You missed my point. I wasn't communicating that duels are completely. I am only suggesting after reading the last few duel threads how others use duels to illustrate their actions as OOC instead of giving an IC action or reason.

If you can't handle the heat, get the f*** out of the kitchen. reg
<< You missed my point. I wasn't communicating that duels are completely. I am only suggesting after reading the last few duel threads how others use duels to illustrate their actions as OOC instead of giving an IC action or reason. >>

I can see it from both points of view, but I do tend to lean more towards Mallagra's point of view, and he does have a pretty good point.

But heck... one thing's for sure, these logs are great to read!

But that's what a kitchen is for!

This is my thought. How can you say any action is out of character as long as it does not pertain to the real world. As long as you don't say something like "Who is winning in the Yankees game?" it is in character. I guess I just don't understand how people always say these people are such horrid role players. I don't see what they are doing horrid. Even like when they say GM's or Reporting. It still is in game because it is part of the game. If it was ooc then they wouldn't put it in.

Good question which I hope I can explain a little more.

Now, I don't have a problem with a duels now and then if it is all done well enough but I haven't seen one done yet. I agree with Kranar, they are neat to read and see the tactics used but that doesn't constitute IC actions. Nor does it mean it's IC if it is done in game.

When I say that I haven't seen a duel roleplayed IC is because of how they are talked about on the boards. The comments in regards to the duels show dislike for other people not because of their characters but because of the person who is playing the character. If a person is stealing, it isn't seen as IC, it's usually dealt with OOC comments. But, stealing is another topic.

As I was saying, I have never seen a duel take place because of some racial bias, no historical reason, no IC reasons or anything else which took place in game that justified the roleplaying reason.

When I played gemstone, the only reason I could figure out why duels took place was to just show off how powerful you can get nothing else.

This is pretty much how the boulder duels go... but on my days on the Isle things were different. The duels there, although not exactly what I'd call the pinicle of RP, did have a lot of interaction and buildup. It wasn't simply "Anyone looking to duel?" "Okay, someone wanna count down?", it was more two or more people who were really mad at each other for whatever reason using the entire Isle as their battle ground, fighting it out.

Those were pretty good.

- Lord Kranar, human Archwizard reg

I dont understand how you see vulgarity as immaturity, i fail to believe that you live in your own little disneyland and no adults around you swear. Swearing back than happened jes as it does now, and Gods recognize that ie the swear verb, so its not really a sign of immaturity more of lack of vocabulary that ya have to resort to those words. reg
Also mallagra if you single someone out because of their race and try to force them to duel, its called unconsented pvp, and what ends up happening is you continue to insult the person till they are forced to duel which usually ends up in yer classic war where one person ends up warned for taking it too far. reg

Who says that it always has to be unprovoked?

Why not work out a storyline with another player where the two characters have this hatred or some opposition for each other. As you work through whatever events you two planned out, maybe in the end it comes down to a duel to the death.

No unconsented PvP, no harrassments and the GMs will not get involved.

That is roleplaying.

reg

Very true Mallagra. Also I second Moken's comment too. When I was in River's Rest with Deprav, I ran accross a hobit. Being a giantman I hated em. Simply because he squeked alot. So I killed him. Multiple times. Yet to stay out of trouble I always whispered to him that it was my style of role play. Basically to stay out of trouble. But the basic jist is you don't always have to have a reason. And yes Kranar I have seen some great duels on Teras too before. Even though it wasn't the greatest duel I thought it was one of the best between Scintillion and Nindy. Very cool.

Lord Deprav reg

<< Why not work out a storyline with another player where the two characters have this hatred or some opposition for each other. As you work through whatever events you two planned out, maybe in the end it comes down to a duel to the death. >>

This would actually be 10 times more fun too since both characters are interacting without worry of GM involvement, and as such can be much more interesting.

But the problem is that it's pretty tough to differentiate between someone roleplaying an enemy, and someone who is trying to hurt the player. I mean realistically, how many people have roleplayed enemies in the lands compared to actual and even OOC enemies?
