People who copy-paste stuff like that make me sad. :(

Learn to paraphrase, guys. You can't do that crap in college, don't do it here.

Is it just me, or are there a handful of board regulars who post as if every board is Conflicts Light? Maybe I'm just drunk...

Kattena, please keep your logic out of this.

It will cost you 248 TDPs to raise your Charisma from 99 to 100

Quit being so derned demanding of OOC and IC "lines" You are drawing lines that end up alienating good roleplay instead of encouraging it. Spare the rod a little bit...

Oh and Mentor meetings/teaching nights are OOC... if you must draw the line. Advice on gameplay and how the mechanisms of it work are often discussed and questions in regards to such are expected... as well as other question topics extending to current RP events.

Apply your IC/OOC standards when more applicable.

Salutes to Glemm and the others who help educate the masses on current events on the boards... I myself apply stuff from the boards into my IC life, though I do attempt to build IC reasons for my learnings... when I feel it nessicary.

<<Oh and Mentor meetings/teaching nights are OOC

If those are OOC, it should clearly say so in the paragraph of Paladin clank-laugh-clank text announcing it IG/IC.

... Wait for it ...

It's supposed to be IC.

Heh I knew someone would backfire me.

Too bad you're wrong. The whole idea behind the mentor program is to help adventurers with both IC and OOC issues related to the game. The mere mention of Mentor in an event title should tell you its a "Light RP" enviroment... unless stated to be an IC event... I am not certain but I believe that is the guideline they abide by. If not... Paladin teaching nights have always had OOC comments going on during them... I've been to them... they tend to flow in and out as dictated by the subject and demeanor of those in attendance. Thus the "Light RP"

You shouldn't attempt to throw it back at me... unless you think it through first... but points for trying.



Yeah it was in bad taste for a mentor to walk in and then walk out like that... agreed. Not really sure of the intent... likely was just personal curiosity that got the best of them. Not so much an issue of RPing though just bad form in general.

I don't know who these replies are being directed at. Madigan, I'm quoting you because it was the most recent, but Phand said something similar, in a round about way:

>>You can take this to the ultimate conclusion of (i) geez Madigan, why are you asking for a guild meeting to discuss it, you weren't there so how would you know? or (ii) no one should know because it was me and the three other people that heard about it...therefor no one else can talk about it.

I was pretty clear in my response post that I was merely referring to this being handled in a better way. I know darned well that all players who bother to read the boards know about what happened. There are players that can tell you (general) that I have been more than happy to sit down and discuss the events in relative detail.

Handle it better, that's all I ask. Quite frankly I was a bit surprised and had trouble figuring out how to respond to that.

That was a totally lame attempt at making this a conflict. You lose.

I was always told mentor socials are meant to be IC unless otherwise stated, frankly.

If that is not the case they really need to be marked differently.

And no, Phand, copy/pasting crap is not good roleplay, it's just being an idiot. So is taking stuff from the boards and incorporating it IG without a good reason for doing so. Learn to separate.

I hardly ever read these boards, but was directed this way by a friend.

First off, my apologies if I ruined your teaching night experience. That was not the intent at all. My intent was to stimulate conversation regarding the event because I know the potential importance of the plot line to the paladin guild.

Young players come to teaching night to learn about being a better paladin, ranger, empath, what-have-you. Part of that guild immersion is participation in events. What better place to disseminate that type of information than at a teaching night. Where else will newer players get that information in an IC'ish fashion? Generally they aren't going to be traveling all over Elanthia.

We frequently talk about events at Ranger Teaching night. I bring up events because I want people to be involved in the RP. In this particular case, Val actually has IG/IC knowledge of what's going on because she hangs out with Madigan and other people who are involved.

Again, sorry I spoiled your time. Won't happen again.

Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition."

With the points made... I was incorrect about teaching nights. I tend to feel majority rules... I was also grouping Novice Nights and Teaching Nights together... which is a mistake. I can see how Mentor events can have people in attendance with IC expectations of others since it seems to be the "norm" from comments made. I had thought and experienced otherwise in the past... and using my own experiences as basis for my position on the matter seems faulty in this thread.

Speaking of OOC, just saw this, hahah:

XXXX says, "As you focus your magical senses on the panther totem, you feel a nagging sense of unease, as if Damaris were paying very close attention to this very object. You also sense that the totem is connected to you on a very fundamental level."

You wince.

I'm the lone bastion of sanity on these boards. Don't cling to me too tightly or I'll drown trying to keep all of us afloat.
