Nexus OoC V: Suxen Eht Nioj!

Possibilities for getting more information about the Arkenraiment include the Eternal Library, Witch Which's Wish Shop, or NOIR. Bard PCs might be able to recall relevant information (bardic lore) and there are probably other PCs with relevant knowledge or skills.

(BTW, Project Mayhem or Moff need to PM the description of NOIR to Darkcomet so he can add it to the Inside directory.)

[happyturtle]

So from midnight to 0500? Awesome! I'll definitely have a chance to get some treasure now!

Yay! Kris roleplay!




Wait, you realize you actually have to post, right?


In other news, someone made the Old Spice commercial to appeal to (straight) men.

Sounds like the only option for me is to go visit The Witch.

Which sucks since I probably won't be online at the same time as her :(

WHO'S THIS SLOWTALKING HARLOT AND WHAT HAS SHE DONE TO MY ISAIAH MUSTAFA!? D=
*cough*
Pretty win. Though I'm kind of hazy on what happened after she said 'look down'.

I was okay with that until the tickets became beers. I'd much rather go see a match at Wimbledon than not drink a beer.

If you want in on the Quest for the Arkenshirt, please let me know by IM or PM. So far I've got Shadowcaller, and (probably) Murska. If you took a ticket for the Kandy Kwest and want to switch to my plot instead, let me and Wolfy both know. The quest will start sometime in the next few days. Hopefully. Expect it to be slower than Wolfy's plot though because, well, it's me.

If you want to do a solo(ish) quest for the items because you don't fit either time zone (or any other reason), then you just need to search on your own for additional information. If you can't be on at the same time as either GM, then we can just treat it like a pbp game and let it take as long as it takes.

You cannot have plot clones doing multiple Arkenquests at the same time. The Titans frown on such shenanigans. And probably, while demand is so high, I think we should limit it to one character per player, though that could change.

This er... this was sarcasm. >.>

[happyturtle]

Damn.

There's still option 3 you know.

[Zefir]

I'am in for Quest for the Arkenshirt I am online most of the time expect 2 hours way home... But I get a smart phone with Internet soon.

[lord pringle]

where is this Arkenshirt quest?

[happyturtle]

The quest will start sometime in the next few days.

Nowhere yet.

[ThirdEmperor]

So I can only quest for one of the Arkenshirt or pants? Hmmm.... I'll just wait for the Arkenshirt quest to end, and kill the winner. Problem solved.

[Moros66]

Oh dear, I just roleplayed buying a shirt. Time to go get a life...

[Gullara]

To be fair, you couldn't walk around with a bloodstained holey shirt.

[happyturtle]

I was just reading the HALO thread, and I am really bothered by a sequence of posts in there.

Long multi-quote section is long.

Spoiler

Your "superiors" are nothing to me. In fact, first offical order, ignore everything they say. If they do ask you to do something, come find me. So, where were we? Oh right. You will only speak when spoken to. This rule applies to everyone you may encounter except your old "superiors." And finally, as a lasting symbol of your servitude, you will wear this until I deem it unnecessary. He summons a maid's uniform that looks like it might fit the beast. If he can sense it he'll notice it's filled to the brim with a lot of enchantments. It's self-cleansing.

That's an insect. While it's what you are now, it's not fitting...no...it...just...doesn't sound right to me. I dunno why but i'm fond of Lisa.

Rand nods. Indeed. And just so you know... Rand informs the beast of the dress' enchantments by running through the list. Now you just need a name. Suggestions are welcome.

Samantha!!

Fine. April.

It's decided then, Samantha. So...if someone asks your name what do you say?

"I say my name's October Sam."

Rand throws an Orb of Frost at the beast. Your name is Samantha.

I found it really offensive that the worst thing Rand could think of to humiliate the Beast was to feminize him. Normally when gender bending is done in the ffrp setting, or for GB week, people tend to roleplay out the exploration of differences between the sexes and while there may be some good natured teasing back and forth, there isn't the sense that anyone believes one sex is superior to the other.

The above posts made me feel icky, because it's very clearly equating femininity with servitude and humiliation. Now, I understand that it was IC. Maybe Rand the character is being roleplayed as misogynist. But as a 'username' character, it does give the impression that he's displaying opinions of Rand the player. And maybe Rand doesn't realize how unpleasant it is for a woman to read text like that. But it is. And with all the attention now being given to school bullying that's related to sexuality and gender identity, I wasn't willing to let this go without saying something.

[ThirdEmperor]

Technically you did make Prince wear a tiara and pink tutu. But you have a point nonetheless.

[happyturtle]

Ouch!

Okay, point there, but first of all, it was to go along with the Magical Princess accusation, which Moff uses indiscriminately to male and female characters both, and second, Moff is evil. And insane. And evil.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm accusing Rand the player of being misogynist. I think he just genuinely didn't realize how it came across.

[Moff Chumley]

I think the difference is that most of what my Moff and especially Happy's Moff get up to is self-parody. For example. I'm adamently pacifist to the point of abhoring violence, my motto is (ask anyone) "I don't get invited to that type of party", and I'm, er, straight. Essentially.

[Quincunx]

Hm. On the one hand, I am very happy to see an effort to accommodate the Euro players and would want to lend a helpful gnomish hand to it. (Minta's a mixer. She precipitates involvement.) On the other hand, if you're restricting players and expressing invitation-only before it even gets going, you're swamped and certainly don't need me to pad the roster.

[lord pringle]

Never mind. Just realized I can't go arkenshirting.

[horngeek]

Incidentally, I'm staying at someone else's tonight, so I probably won't be around for... about 24 hours. Starting in 3 and a half hours.

[Moff Chumley]

I feel this is relevant. The Moff and Deadpool would get on great.

Deadpool: Wow, this is really, really freaky! I could swear I know you from somewhere. Did we go to law school together?
Deadpool: I know what you mean. I've seen you before, I just can't place your face. Weren't you in my oragami class last fall?
Deadpool: Wait! I know where I've seen your face. In my mirror... every morning!"
Deadpool: Heavens to murgatroide! That's it! You're me!
Deadpool: No no no no no no no, I beg to differ. You... are me!
Deadpool: Come on. let's not quibble over such a huge philosophical conundrum here. What do you say when you meet yourself?
Deadpool: How about 'you're lookin goooood!'
Deadpool: Works for me. Well, now I have to kill ya. Not that I want to, it's just a little something Mister Sinister ordered me to do.
Deadpool: Are you ok?
Deadpool: Me? I'm fine. I just have an uncontrollable urge to rip you into tiny shreds and spit on all of your graves.

[horngeek]

I LOVE that conversation.

...on the other hand, Deadpool never, in Ultimate Alliance and Legends 2, mentions the fact he's in a video game. THIS IS BLASPHEMY.

[Lix Lorn]

Even I know he should do that and I heard about him cause of the Wolverine film!

[Maxios]

I LOVE that conversation.

...on the other hand, Deadpool never, in Ultimate Alliance and Legends 2, mentions the fact he's in a video game. THIS IS BLASPHEMY.

Odd. When I played the game, I'm sure he mentioned he was in a videogame or something similar.

[ThirdEmperor]

*Stares at the conversation of pure awesome*............. Awesome.

Anyway, after noting the sheer amount of PC cats wandering around, I have decided to make my own cat (or cat-like) character: The Cheshire Lol Cat. The name says it all.

[horngeek]

Odd. When I played the game, I'm sure he mentioned he was in a videogame or something similar.

Huh. Do you remember where?

[Ashen Lilies]

Nuuuu! You missed out the rest of the conversation! It's the source of my favorite quote. EVER.

Nope. Sorry. Can't do it. I really, REALLY want you all dead. And not the kind of dead where there's a possibility you might still be alive. I want you SO dead, that you'll be reincarnated as a corpse.

Or else:

Finally, IT'S BEATIN' YOU UP TIME!
...
I really gotta get a new catchphrase.

[horngeek]

I love what he says when he levels up.

Now I'm better at whatever it is Wolverine does!

[Lix Lorn]

...awesome. Xd
