Then go do something else. Insomnia and computers are a bad combo. Read a book, go for a walk, etc.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

Aeonumbra said #1: Elitist Evangelist: He or She who joins a group expecting it to be withhold their ideals. Perhaps the rp idea is just too good to pass up, perhaps it looks to most promising, perhaps a friend is in it. "That's Alright," The evangelist thinks, "I'll just PM the GM on my opinions of the would-be recruits and let him know that their skill level doesn't nearly fit the criteria for this RP regardless of how the GM or the players feel, I'm sure I can convince him." "Well," The evangelist thinks, "Perhaps the GM will see it my way when I convince all his prospective players that it should be this way or we'll all leave and start our own thread based off of this ideal, or something totally different because fuck you that's why don't let the noobs join."

This happened once. My reply was something along the lines of quoting their PM'd critique, then quoting parts of their IC posts from other RP's, accompanied by comments like "Oh god the irony ahaha I can't stop myself from laughing." Eventually ending it with; "Yeah no, but seriously. No and fuck you."

Then I got a PM about how I shouldn't look down on them. I miss the days I didn't care about shit and had field days with people.

Most deplorable characters/things you've RPed

Does playing marionette with children to kill their loved ones while they're aware of everything they're doing but unable to stop it count as evil? I think it does.

Are you talking about Charles, Maria or Simon?

All of them. Except Simon isn't a PC :P Also Simon was meant to die. Too little blood these days.

Gotcha.

Legend of Renalta 2: Reborn

Ball post is huge. Also two.

So, is anyone looking to recruit or make nice with a nation in particular and also in need of a wingwoman? I don't think Esyllt will be taking charge herself at this point, but she can surely play support. Got all dat etiquette and genuine interest in foreign cultures.

Are Co-GMs Useful?

I am a terrible co-GM. That's all I can say about it.

If she is being attacked, or in any "Lethal" danger.

Alright, so if she´s actually actively being attacked or otherwise in lethal danger unless there´s intervention (ie just being in the presence of a poisonous snake doesn't trigger it unless the snake is specifically targeting her).

@chukklehed. This is what happens if you try to auto-hit things with totally counter-able moves ;p

Will 'o the Piper

Although Sigmund had initially unbalanced the red oni, it managed to catch itself before it tumbled over completely and soon regained it's footing. Kappa came to it's rescue; throwing their selves at Sigmund in a great panic. If he stayed where he was, the kappa would overwhelm Sigmund quickly in numbers he hadn't fought before... From the edge of his sight, Sigmund would be able to see the blue oni had stretched out an arm pointing at him... It was commanding the kappa!

What Charles hadn't accounted for when he jumped on the oni's back, was that it was by no means helpless by courtesy of it's size. Before Charles could even begin to strangle the oni, the furious red giant swat his it's neck, with Charles in between. The oni's hand clenched, grabbing and picking up the dazed holder. It's powerful grip didn't allow Charles to move. The red oni, furious about what he considered but a pest, threw Charles up in the air and then smashed him with the tree like it was trying for a homerun!

A Clayman's Finale

Very unfortunate for Maria was that the woman was not blind to her surroundings... And running silently was stupidly impossible. Soneillon had charged out of the woman's reach, and although Adeline's skill diverted attention away from the girl, the same wasn't true for Maria. Hearing the rook approach, Maria failed to hit the woman's arm and instead was gutted in the stomach with the long handle of the hammer. Powerful defences as Maria might have, they would not cover up for her careless act as the woman swapped out her hammer for her tonfa and smack Maria in the head with them.

“Think you're clever, little rat?” The woman spat at the rook, “Did you really think we thought a library dog would come alone?” She bit at Maria, as she took a step back to put some distance between the two and again changed for her hammer; this time planning to bring it down on her opponent for the kill.

Soneillon's tackle would prove fatal for the man. He had put too much trust in the golem arm, and when it was no longer between him and the matyr of a spirit, there was nothing but human flesh to absorb the force and spikes of Soneillon's charge. The spirit would find the man's corpse skewed to it's spikes; cut, crushed and bruised... And like the golems had earlier when Lux had taken them out, the giant arm slowly detached itself from the man's body... And by it taking off the corpse's arm; left to drift in a puddle of clay.

Free Billy

Remia's attempts to scream people out of their hypnosis were valiant ones, and with the number Quartz and Eowyn were doing on the fish she seemed to be able to gain a little ground in the battle of sounds. However, on her own she was no match for a choir of siren songs, as most of the crowd would fall back into hypnosis when the song started up again...But for the moment Remia snapped them out of it, some had been able to copy Remia's trick, or put their fingers in their ears and ran away... At least some had been saved this way.

However, this was not true for Simon. In a trance, he walked past the smaller fish... Or so he thought. But the creature was not down for the count yet. It's seastar-arms latched onto the man and pulled him back; causing Simon to desperately try to escape it's grip; but to no avail. The fish tried to struggle it's way back to the sea wildly; causing in it's wild movements to crush Simon with it's weight...

Unlike it's smaller counterpart, the giant monster fish managed to maintain it's composure in spite of it's injuries. It's sea-star arms latched onto an immobilised Eowyn; attempting to drag her onto it's back with the living algae creatures. This would become even more dangerous as Eowyn began feeling the effects of their song; causing her battlerage to begin wavering... Quartz on the other hand, courtesy of it's smaller size and flight, managed to escape. Nor had he (nor mime) yet to feel the influence of the sirens...

Names for characters?

For the golems, either just name them golems, or try to figure out more cultural. Find a mythology or something, or pick a defining trait and mess around with google translate. Search for inspiration and it will come to you.

For the character; http://www.behindthename.com/ Knock yourself out.
