The Blue Moon Tavern: A High Fantasy RP

[Guilty Spark]

Hello there. I just joined about an hour ago, but I've been lurking since about a day before now, and this RP has caught my attention. I even have a character idea already, but I must ask, is there any sort of limits on what species our characters can be? I like RPing as non-human characters, you understand.

@HHShetland

So far, no limit has been placed and the OP has said that they value originality. However, this is probably something that he/she handles on a case-to-case basis, so what sort of race are you looking to create? (Also, where do you normally RP?)

[Guilty Spark]

And stop taking everything so literal- what is a dog? "Man's best friend." A horse to a giant is a similar relationship, though more intelligent in many ways. God, if I knew there would be such hard understanding of giants that aren't ten stories tall, I wouldn't have bothered. Scratch Declan, I'm not in the mood to put up with a small crowd of skeptical criticizers.

@WilsonTurner

I apologize if you thought our responses were harsh, but you made some pretty bold and aggressive claims. The relationship of dog and man was created by certain needs of both parties, security for us and steady food for them. Horses are not predators, outside of the context of labor and transportation there is little that could foster a relationship of the sort that exists between men and dogs. [For more on the load bearing capacity of horses, see my response to Fillet on the bottom of the previous page]. We're not trying to be "skeptical criticizers" we're just taking this seriously, and considering the how and the why of things through historical and physical context.

@Sessamaru, I have a couple of questions. No one but the GM/creator of the RP should answer. Note that I am a tentatively-interested-but-might-be-very-interested-depending-on-these-answers party. 1) Since I have a fantasy world IP, I'm wondering if you would mind me dipping in some of my own stuff like lore. I'm big on world building, and I tend to carry this knack of mine to RPs I get involved in. 2) Do we get a picture of the tavern? 3) How do you feel about more than one character? I have a few I want to try out. They'd all be so wonderful for this RP. I can't choose just one! 4) Are you taking up one of the would-be players' offer to make maps? 5) Would you mind standing-by for more questions as they come to me?

[Guilty Spark]

I can answer some of those, but you seem pretty adamant so I'll let Sessamaru get them.

@Guilty Spark

Oh hey. Well, I was thinking of making a reptilian sort of fellow; sounds a bit cliché, I know, but I do hope to put an unusual spin on the character. Though I'm more concerned about some GMs being averse to anthropomorphic characters for some reason (that being said, I noticed one of the other characters is a Ratman, so maybe I'm worried about nothing). Also, I don't really have a go-to place for RPing; before now, I've RPed on dA chat and on FF.net forums, but stimulating activity in both those areas has been rather low lately, hence my arrival here. Why do you ask?

@HHShetland

I've been across a number of forums, I was wondering if maybe we bumped into each other, but I guess not because I haven't been to either of those. ^_^

This is pretty interesting.

@Gentlemanvaultboy

I'm enjoying it so far and the OOC hasn't started yet. ^_^ It has a lot of potential, and I enjoy a well-managed guild style RP.

@Guilty Spark you kind of feel like the unofficial co-gm XD

@onenote

I get that almost everywhere, I try to help out as best I can. :p

Just please remember the fine line between helping and becoming bossy... Please, that's happened to a few people on here before and it hasn't gone well...

I saw that guy coming a mile away, which is why I put my first post in red text. Had a similar experience on RPNation with a user in a Digimon RP. If your Digimon's line "didn't make sense" he'd be all up on you. He actually got TWO PEOPLE kicked out because he kept poking and being bossy until they snapped. The first guy he was very rude to. As in, "You need to forsake your real life and post!"

@La Inquisidora

Has it occurred to you that this is a very thinly veiled insult?

[Guilty Spark]

And I've already talked with the GM about this. You may also want to note that when you made your first stab at me, in your first post on this thread, I didn't try and push answers on you and respected your wishes. Which makes this all the more frustrating as an encounter.

Alright guys, let's take it down a notch.

[La Inquisidora]

@Guilty Spark, chill out. I did that to stop you from irritating me since you're obviously an FMA fan and didn't want you to get on my bad side. And quit acting like you're so important. The part in red might've been for you, but the post in general was for EVERYBODY. That's another a bad habit I see on forums these days. People who don't know what's going on answering questions. To avoid them embarrassing themselves, irritating me and maintaining the integrity of the GM (Sess in this case), I made that post. TL; DR: Co-GM or not, you aren't the GM, and thus I don't regard you as being as important as the head honcho. If you say something is okay and he says something is not okay, who gets their way? Hint: Not you.

[c3p-0h]

Pretty sure that doesn't count as "taking it down a notch."

[Guilty Spark]

@La Inquisidora If you actually read any of my posts, you would note that I'm quoting the GM in some cases and in others I use terms like "probably" and "considering." My word isn't meant to be taken as fact, I'm just trying to help people get the answers so they can proceed while the GM is offline. I have read this entire thread, the same questions get asked more than once (including by yourself) and I'm just repeating what he/she said. And no, the rest of your post wasn't for everyone it was for the GM. You came in presuming things about my character and my attitude, which is as frustrating to me as what I'm doing is to you.

@c3p-0h

I'm sorry, we should probably stop but we really might as well settle this now since it's clear this will be a running issue.

[ScarlettWaters16]

Ugh, this is all my fault... :/
