Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
It is reparable, maybe, but it is not small. Editing this post isn't really necessary; I can deal with it because Sophie is patient enough that her listening to Valaria's largely irrelevant rambling is believable. The point is that posts like this one give me a very unpleasant feeling like my character is mostly irrelevant and her purpose is to trigger the backstory dump. This is something I dislike and also something I manage to avoid despite recieving education in philology, during which I learned not to expend more words than I need. So before we continue I'd like a promise that this isn't going to happen again.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
...
Wait, what?
Dude, you're scolding me like you think I'm a child. That isn't cool. Do you really believe that I'd not go out of my way to avoid agitating you again? I'm not here to anger or upset others, as I've iterated and reiterated on multiple occasions. Frankly, I find your last response condescending and unconducive to a friendly conclusion to this misunderstanding. I previously stated that I got carried away and I'd work with you to resolve the issue, but lording your credentials over me and requesting that I promise never to do something again is ridiculous!
I get it. You don't like me or my style. You've spelled that out IC and OoC now. And that's fine! I try to experiment with new words when I'm posting. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. But it pays off when I win a game of Scrabble or ace the writing portion of the SAT. And I think it is kind of fun to play with the workings of language.
I'm not going to promise to write only minimalistic one/two/three-liners when your characters are about. I will try to avoid lengthy speeches and engage your character in shorter segments of "irrelevant rambling", but I'm not acceding to a power play.
You don't have to rp with me if you don't want to. I'll understand. And if it were/is a consensus that everyone hated/hates rping with me, I'd/I'll leave.
For now, I'm gonna try to take a nap. This fever and the lassitude it rides with are no good for me.

*sigh* I'm not scolding you. Or maybe I am, a little. You just happened to hit one of the numerous pet peeves of mine. I'm sorry if I came off cranky. I am cranky and I don't always manage to hold it back. I don't intend to stop RPing with you and at any rate, I'm going to finish that scene since I don't like to leave them unfinished.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
And I apologize for overreacting to your last post. The "promise" thing and my fever set me off like nothing else. I will endeavor to keep my posts concise as I completely understand and respect where you're coming from. I realize that I really overdid the dialogue in that GLoG post and appreciate that you let me know that you don't enjoy long pieces so that I can adapt accordingly. And you're completely right. The GLoG IC post devolved, becoming less of a discussion and more of a one-sided lecture. And I'll happily edit that if you'd like!
I'll be the first to admit that I make mistakes! And that overzealous piece was one of them! And when I do make mistakes, I try to strive to welcome and incorporate corrections into my writing. If I am stepping on toes, that isn't what I set out to do and I'd love for those problems to be brought to my attention so that I can fix them. I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings. I simply err.

No, don't edit. I've already responded and I figure Sophie wouldn't interrupt Valaria, since she prefers to let people talk as long as they want, as she used to be a social worker.

You know, it's one of those really nice things about this forum that people tend to talk out their problems like reasonable adults instead of just cursing at each other until both get banned.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
Hmmmmm.
I'm wondering how well a character with prophetic abilities might work in the Nexus. It'd be more poetic hints than straight-out saying 'this is what's going to happen', and it'd mostly be in relation to plots more than anything else.
Thoughts?

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
I think it could work, long as you kept the predictions vague and talked it out with all players involved beforehand. I for one wouldn't have a problem with an oracle character.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
They have been difficult to do in the past, at least from what I've seen. I've never tried one myself. An oracle character might work best as a reoccurring one that shows up just before/just at the beginning of plots and does some spooky foreshadowing to the characters involved.
Just an idea. Good luck with it all the same.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
You can look at horoscopes for examples of fairly vague prophecies that can apply to anyone.
SpoilerHappiness reigns in the home as everyone feels the energy changing, Aquarius. It seems that the end of one cycle brings closure, and now you're free to start a new journey of rebirth. You, above all, are apt to feel a powerful rush of intuition, which could reveal positive events coming up for you and those close to you. A few doubts may cloud your impressions, but let them go.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
XD
Well, yeah, but I'd like the prophecies to have some accuracy.
Like I said, I'll probably ask the person running the plot about some events relevant to the plot, then frame them in metaphor and stuff.
Hmmm... this'll be interesting to do, actually. Fortunately, the character in question has a limit of pretty much literally 'one prophecy per plot'.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.
So, I have an issue in that my keyboard has stopped working; this was typed with that stupid onscreen keyboard thing. as such, I will not be posting until I can manage getting a new one from somewhere.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I'm at my end trying to type with something that only works a fifth of the time, and even then devolves into a sticky keys nightmare.If You need me to post somewhere, drop me a message, please

I'm back!
C'nor, is Hollow Hill still going?SpoilerThis is the thief who likes to hoard,
That loves the bard with the puppet Lord
That admires the fighter with the green-hilted sword,
That employs the Wizard, whose bird is ignored,
That has the gender unexplored
That intrigues the Halfling, usually bored,
That slew a mountain of the goblin horde,
That follows the cleric,
That serves the lich,
That seeks the gate,
That guards the snarl,
That lives in the prison the gods built.
guess what I was gone but now I'm back

Sort of. It got buried under the whole plague plot, though, so if everyone could link me to their last post there, please?
