not bad

[Caitlin Fergus]

I have to say: compliment!


the ambush war staged great! great idea!
I had no chance to get sceptically. And you are lucky that Caitlin is so naive.

Wonderful, really.
Even there was not any #me attacks.
Otherwise I had also made an #me runs.
But I hadn't any chance for that. I would have been dead even before I could write.
(and thank you for your polite PM Nikago, but you can do #me's before you attack)

Just one thing...
I'm a fair player. and sometimes I expect fairness from others too.
Meanwhile I played the badly wounded Caitlin at the cross, John killed that dwarf.
What did that dwarf do? flew to the cross and runs away than as never did happen everything.

BUT I got a message from a gm:
((ooc: you are very badly wounded, but not dead))

erm. yes. thank you. Why couldn't I do like nothing happened as the dwarf did? Why not? .. oh wait. I play fair.

The thing is Caitlin, befor anyone could possibly write anything they were either paralyst and tried to catch you because you ran away.
They tried to reach their goal of this little quest.

It wasn't the best one but at least it was one and in the end we all had our fun or we will have. Because we still need two of the three.
We again have some enemies in Illa...

What happened?

BUT I got a message from a gm:
((ooc: you are very badly wounded, but not dead))

erm. yes. thank you. Why couldn't I do like nothing happened as the dwarf did? Why not? .. oh wait. I play fair.

This was my message.
I viewed the whole scene as far as I could, of course I was not able to see anything, I did, for example, not see the dead and fleeing dwarf. That, of course, should NOT have happened.

As for the non happening #me's:
It was very confusing. First, there was a #me
Gomli zieht plötzlich eine Waffe und schreit "los".
(I guess paralyze was casted here)
Sigurd von Ascaron: elminister....
Elminister ben Gorion zieht seinen Zauberstab.
Sigurd von Ascaron zieht seine axt.

That was it. Both sides complain against eachother that there was not a proper reaction in a RP-sense. Take this not as the start of a dispute or discussion which will lead to nowhere but as a chance to discuss what *should* have happened. I think both sides agree that it did not work out as well as it should have.
Maybe some chapter of the growing RP-guide could be the consequence?

[Caitlin Fergus]

Actually, I'm stupid somehow.
I had 6 Potions in my back and didn't used any, because I thought it wouldn't be fair, drinking while running.

I'm stupid, am I not?

[Caitlin Fergus]

hehe, it isn't easy to write something while someone is slashing on you

and I'm sorry for that. I wished I could have rped better, like I did the scenes before.



and because of your message, Martin.
I hope you wrote it, 'cause you just wanted to tell me, that my char has not to die.
And not because you wanted me to play badly wounded, what I already did.

[martin]

I had 6 Potions in my back and didn't used any, because I thought it wouldn't be fair, drinking while running.

You are not stupid for not doing it.
Another point for the RP-guide?

However, you had a short break while running when you met John. But I fully understand that you did not drink them, you probably did not think about it at that time, which in fact is natural. One is distracted, in hurry and has a rather high adrenaline rate.
The thing is: As far as I know from my own experience, there are several reasons why you did not drink the potions. None of them ist that you are stupid

However, it was your choice to let your character die, which I do not understand in the first place.

[Dónal Mason]

I often tend to hesitate in situations like that.

"Shall I attack? No, my character is hurt, healing potions? NO! Healing spell? Fireball! Run away! No, heal!"

The result of that hesitation generally results in running around in circles while the other guy chops my character's head off.

[Caitlin Fergus]

No Martin, I was aware of that.
I had a reason why I had 6 potions in my bag and I knew that they will attack me in the woods.
And while my char was running I thought: "mh, wouldn't be fair. I will let him their chance"

[martin]

hehe, it isn't easy to write something while someone is slashing on you

I know.

and I'm sorry for that. I wished I could have rped better, like I did the scenes before.

Oh, well, if the guys involved (on both sides!) did not play it better, I guess it was hard then to play it better.
I won't judge anyones RP, but I would not call the RP of anyone involved "bad", and I think you played pretty good.

I hope you wrote it, 'cause you just wanted to tell me, that my char has not to die.

Of course.
You played a wonderful wounded, it was just to prevent you from dying.
I didn't even expect, to be honest, that you play *THAT* heavily wounded at all.

Oh, just to prevent questions: Yes, I was given the (rough) plan before and because it was such a difficult thing I decided to observe it in order to prevent cruelsome RP or something and to have a witness.

Martin

[Elminister]

Sorry, it could have been my fault. Actually I already thought that dwarf would attack Caitlin so I followed her. Then suddenly the other persons appeared and I emoted that I keep my eyes on Caitlin even as the human talked to me.
Then I made a failure because I just read "takes out his axe and says"go"" or whatever it was and I thought it was the orc who ran in direction of Caitlin - Because I heard some sword-sounds I thought of a)healing Caite, b) paralyse the attacker (I alrady said I thought it was the orc - sry)

That was some kind of chain reaction because then I tried to emote afterwards but actually there was no chance to emote before because I couldn't response to the attacking phase - caite could have been dead until I emoted and suddenly choose the right runes and aim... impossible - so I emoted afterwards but while writing I already was attacked by this other guy who didn't emote as well (of course in that chaos).

I was near to death when I reached the town... first I heard the orc saying "we didnt get him" so i thought i was safe - suddenly the human ran to me and tried to attack - I paralyzed again because one more hit would be kill for me - and then i emoted "me paralyzes him with a spell" - but instead of standing still he suddenly attacked as far as the spell faded and I was killed... There should be a kind of channeling spell - while not doing another spell or moving the one should be kept paralyzed - and he should be able to speak meanwhile which makes it possible to double paralyze and the enemy can emote meanwhile

[Nikago Fyrstyn]

Ok i know that all wasn't planned like this way i really know that was ba rp ,but i can't say you any reasons why this char behaved like that ,because well you must find this out ig (elminister already said something about that i believe) and i know normally i don't just click and then let figth but it was all so damm fast ,btw. i lagged maybe you didn't noticed but i believe i lagged twice, and i know theres a tech to write while you run (mousclick twice and then you can writte) but well i must act fast.
You saw you stand up and then i must attack you ,because there wasn't any reason for stopping you then ,after that you just would walk back to city.
Well but i don't think that both sides where good but nether bad ,in fact i just attacked with on #me but i left two or one field space to your char so that i didn't hitted you when i aimed at you.
Ok than i hunted you trougth the woods and yes i know here should come an #me but hell you runned on the streets while directing chars with mouse is hell difficult in places like wood.
ok i will write more tomorrow sorry for than..half rp.

[martin]

LOL

I thought that would be a fight like "MY RP WAS BETTER THAN YOURS, YOUR LOUSY RPer!", instead we have a: "sorry, my RP was so bad, excuse me."

Not even flaming works anymore.

hehe

There are some problems related to the paralyze spell. Maybe we can later find a better way to deal with it, but it needs some technical corrections I guess.

Meanwhile I played the badly wounded Caitlin at the cross, John killed that dwarf.
What did that dwarf do? flew to the cross and runs away than as never did happen everything.

Thats a fucking lie i got away from the cross yes but just two tiles then i stopped and waited for john ,i was sure he couldn't figth off the two ogers. But he just runned away and then what should i do run after him saying "get me now"?
I was two spaces away from the normal cross tile so don't say i did run away john easelly could get me ,but he went away and so i logged out and played another char ,as i heard they going into the woods i got back with my char and they catched him.
Ohh and btw. when you see the whole story and got everything out you will understand that ,but i don't will say something now.

[Nikago Fyrstyn]

Ok now that i got some more time i can descripe it better.
Ok i know there was not much time to react i wrote that short #me then aimed and then got in range ,at the same time the paralyse spell hit the Orc and i made my first slash against caitlin ,but then she run away ,logical maybe but didn't that hurt a bit, so i runned after her ,directly into two trees and as i figured that out she already got away the half of the screen so i just didn't looked to elminister ,because i knew there where two persons that will do something about him ,and i runned after caitlin well it was a long chase and i got her in the shop ,i just needed three or two more slash i believe ,after that the assasin job was done and the char tried to flee .
John now chased him around and my char tried to let the ogers do the job ,well that happend yes the ogers got john ,but i thougth John now will jail me or something or get me i just was two spaces away ,but i couldn't write that #me so fast because i just tried to get something to eat first but then john was already away.
Well after that, as i writte above , i logged out because John now ignored me so it was for sure that my char is hide for now,i played with my other char ,then after some time i heard something about that this Char. dies (caitlin) so i asked martin ,if he didn't said her that she's just wounded and dji immideatly logged in to heal her, you see it was never our plan to kill her just to hurt her.
Well afterall you got my char ,but maybe you noticed something after elminister spelled on him? When not well..than you maybe never will get behind the story.


@John: that can't fit because you were a cloud as i was already alive again i did two steps and stopped.

[John Irenicus]

Thats a fucking lie i got away from the cross yes but just two tiles then i stopped and waited for john ,i was sure he couldn't figth off the two ogers. But he just runned away and then what should i do run after him saying "get me now"?

Nice version. From my point of view we arrived at the cross at the same time and then you ran away. Let's not complain about that though.
