Ok listen. We can either let everyone pretend to own a house or we can let nobody pretend to own a house, I just don't think it makes sense to only forbid some people from doing so. I don't think one specific person or group should have sole claim of an area, even if it's awkward to share the space sometimes.
.
i just draw my house in mspaint and then play pretend that a closed door texture leads to it
Do people actually look at art album links in TRPs? I am genuinely curious and wondering if I should even link mine.
.
only if its nsfw
a guild is using the orphanage outside the cathedral on WRA-A for a 'walk in medical clinic'. i dont think thats bad per se, but couldnt you have used any other building? not the one filled with children NPCs running around, and not one thats literally like fifty steps away from the cathedral? You know, the cathedral? The place that actually is effectively a walk-in clinic for people who need healing? its just a weird choice that seems to lack any real thought behind it.
its got beds
'Make your OWN law project then' you're implying that I want this group to exist in the first place, and that I engage with law project despite my open distaste for them. Both of which are a no for me. People don't actually benefit from its presence because it created a large group of people who literally won't recognize any of your characters qualifications, titles, or properties, if you don't go through law project to get them to officiate it. Stop treating them like the end-all-be-all.
.
bruh, all u gotta do is make a decent guild with decent people and u automatically get street cred, don't need some SLP validation lol
And then if someone does try to make their own ToA-like event, they'll get endlessly lambasted by people calling them a lazy copycat no matter how much work they put into it. It's basically a lose-lose situation.
.
typically success depends on some compromise, and not “ok i don't like these 2 ppl so I'm gonna go and make my own whole thing”.
maybe say that your own cool tournament is “inspired by toa”? easy way for a humble beginning, as much as that might sting
I'm speaking from the experience of watching a higher up in a guild write off somebody else's character as a liar because they didn't have any connections within the SLP umbrella of groups to "confirm" their identity so, it's literally happened. Yes it's opt in but that doesn't mean you get to like... exclude players from the game because they chose not to opt in to it. So if you guys can stop expecting everyone to have connections to law project that would be great.
.
sounds like some people dont want to give some rando the privilege of claiming a large/powerful identity that their characters are supposed to respect
happens to anyone who is guildless/has their own tiny unreputable guild, slp connections hardly matter
How hard is it for you to believe that people can dislike the law project and it's not motivated by personal jealousy or any sort of drama? There's an obvious and observable negative impact it has on players who choose not to opt into it, which you might realize if you would stop treating it like it's flawless, a beacon of goodness in the community; above any criticism. You denying it, or not having witnessed it first-hand isn't going to change that. It just means you're ignoring the problems.
.
‘oh no my lord duke character isn't being respected like i planned??!!’ - some1 outside of slp who feels victimized even though their rp isn't going to be respected either way.
i didn't even know what slp was until like years into my rp, and i had plenty of fun then, and i have plenty of fun now hardly even a part of it, so shut the heck up you anon on the internet triggering me!!!!
Writing 5 paragraphs erp posts about how passionately they are thrusting isn't quality. Its quantity.
.
u gotta get interrupted by knocking on the door, and then i daresay that pizza guy has earned a “fat tip” for his excellent service
That back stabbing jerk who was supposed to be my friend just up and cant come to the event my put my heart and soul into???? I thought we were friends, asshole!!!1 pee ur pants!!
.
listen...rping in stormwind is scary when ur level 30, never know when that fuckin level 50 SEWER BEAST gonna come crawlin out of that canal and gank your ass. happened to me twice
I LAUGHED AT THIS POST BUT TODAY IT BECAME A REAL PROBLEM.
THESE POOR LOWBIES NEED SOME HELP.
they call me huggies cause I pull up and shit on em
"It's whateva'." *smokes cigarette.* "I think my klonopin is wearin' off because my spina bifida is acting up. Love ya rennae, I'm always available for hire for cleanin' ya kitchen."
a++++ would hire again
Can I RP an Orc horde loyalist in the city and get mad at everyone for trying to attack me? I'm an ambassador that likes to relax in bars without an escort. I have papers!! (That I gave myself)
I appreciate the humor in this, but honestly I don’t think it would be so bad if someone were to execute this right. I do think it’s a very long shot to have it pulled off right where people respect your story, but I’d totally welcome if it was done right. I imagine it would be less of a public RP based thing and more of a controlled environment, because everyone in the city is a murder hobo when it comes to spotting orcs or blood elves, even if they’re potentially characters that make sense.
It might be a little lorebendy sure because the game seems to avoid any sort of appearance of the opposite faction like that. I think one minor thing that supports the idea is that dwarf you get to murder near Silvermoon - it’s a bit of a clandestine thing because of politics.
Friendly reminder to make sure to get up and stretch every so often while you're roleplaying! Depending on how long you're doing it, its good to get up and get the blood flowing so you don't get blood clots. Also, keep some water at your desk so you can stay hydrated. Remember, you can make as many characters as you want, but theres only one body for you, so take care of it and have fun!
Friendly suggestion to give your characters bed times because they “need to wake up in the morning.” It’s a good excuse to get a decent amount of sleep OOC instead of killing yourself because RP is too much fun.
Civilian/ commoner RPers tend to be some of the best RPers most of the time.
I don’t want to say/agree that I’m a “best” RPer just because I play normie characters a lot. I think both types of characters can be played really well, especially if the hero types are played by a person that actively looks out to keep it enjoying for everyone. Ain’t nothing wrong at all with playing a big role if you do it in a fun and engaging way.
That being said, I think basic civilian characters are highly undervalued. Firstly, those are the types of characters that grow the easiest into something more. But, even if they don’t grow, even if they don’t become super talented over time, there’s still a world of drama out there to get into.
Some examples of the characters I had fun with:
- A sheltered woman that jumped into romance and got burned, dumped after her honeymoon. Probably one of the saddest characters I’ve played.
- A curious person that would always follow criminals and get into shitty situations.
- Cat burglar. Have you ever done a scenario with some people just raiding a house and rolling to loot or not get caught?
It might not immediately be obvious that a normie citizen character can do more than just be a good and behaved normal citizen, but you have to think that they too have negative tendencies just as much as anyone else. Stealing, cheating, lying, murder, and being murdered are totally on the menu just like any other character. Getting murdered or otherwise killed is also a lot more accessible when playing a short term character, which can strike some of the thickest emotion chords.
The world is yours, and civilians are just another great way to enjoy it. :)
I think people do not want to wait nine months for their character to have a baby. With magic, a speedy pregnancy can be possible. Plus, nine real months is nearly a year. What do you all think?
No. Just no. Sure “anything is possible with magic”, because magic is magic, but magic that does literally whatever you want is not good for a story.
You should consider what kind of story you want to portray, and then you also need to consider your medium. If you’re doing this in public with other people who expect something that resembles a real timeline, then the safest way to go about this sort of stuff is just sticking with the nine months. Why do you want to speed up the process? Just to have an infant that you can hold? The pregnancy itself is more interesting than the stroller RP IMO, especially if people aren’t going to take the infant seriously if it comes out of nowhere.
If you don’t want to wait, then you will not fit in easily with people who treat character age as realtime, but it’s not a huge sin. Just write off the time, just like people who get squired and knighted within a year or less when it typically takes seven. I’ve seen people do 1 week = 1 month for the sake of progressing long term effects in a shorter timespan, and I don’t think that’s horrible. Sometimes I wish it was more feasible to squash long periods of time in WoW RP, because that would make more sense for a lot more stories (e.g. building a settlement, having a kid grow up, growing old, becoming a veteran of war after a realistic time period has actually passed). Stories typically don’t happen in just a few years (and quite honestly it’s NUTS how many world-threatening events there have been in WoW’s lore in the past 40 years).
Essentially, I think it would be fun to play a character that starts out as just a five year old, where you can experience events spanning his or her entire lifetime, but the problem is synchronizing the preferred story time scale with everyone else.
GUILD IDEA: separate yourselves from public RP and play out stories with a time scale of one month = two years. It can be a bit bendy to allow characters to explore certain important parts of their lives better, but otherwise people would adhere to the time scale provided, and be drowned with RP spanning entire lives.
