Title: Interaction with a new Warder Post by: Anarrima on November 07, 2005, 08:07:58 pm // Prehistory: The server state was quite bad, and unfortunately // I got disconnected while fighting Grunkak. // Reconnected already on the pit. When I arrived to the corpse, // found out that some items are missing. Located them on Arion, // the fresh-inducted Warder. A well-used path through the town [Exits: east west] (Invis) (Translucent) Arion the male wild elf is here. A tall elf dressed in brown silk strolls past with a glance in your direction. <959/963 hp 655/660 mp 202/204 mv 550130 xp Exits:EW 663.1358> look arThere is a tall person before you. His appearance differs greatly from that of other wild-elves. He is dressed in gold clothes, but not in pure gold, in gold with sickly white, that is felt subconsciously. When thee look him in the eye, you recoil from him, because his glance is not a glance of the elven being. You feel that your soul is ready to free itself from your weakly body only because of a second look of this 'not elven'. He is wild elf and that is why he likes forests and prefer to live there. But many creatures in this world doesn't like trees, bushes and forest's creatures and he has to protect his home. He recites a sweet mystical tune and when his enemies attack him they can't hit him because always this person is not there where they aim. Arion is in perfect condition. Arion is using: <worn on finger> (Glowing) a ring of linked silver dragonscales <worn on finger> (Glowing) a ring of linked silver dragonscales <worn around neck> (Humming) a Rogue Stone amulet <-- My amulet! The only in the Realms at the moment. <worn around neck> a gleaming silver necklace <worn on torso> a buffalo hide shirt <worn on head> a helm tassled with grey feather <worn on legs> a pair of velvet pants <worn on feet> a pair of forest-green boots <worn on hands> a pair of velvet gloves <worn on arms> arm guards lined in velvet <worn on body> a brown bearskin cloak <worn on waist> (Glowing) (Humming) a plated belt of platinum <worn around wrist> a runed silver armlet <worn around wrist> (Humming) a moonstone bracelet <wielded> a whip of cutting <held> an invitation to the Royal courts You frown unhappily. You say, 'You took the stuff from my corpse?' // No answer for a long time. I suppressed the initial temptation // to smash the looter, decided to try a diplomatic approach. // Spent some time, travelling around... You tell Arion 'I need my stuff back. You' d better return what you took.' Arion tells you 'seek near grunkak' // Checked again. Found one anti-neutral and one elf-only item on // the ground all around Rosevale. Amulet is still gone. You tell someone 'I had a rogue stone amulet. Where is it now?' Someone tells you 'I have it' You tell Arion 'return it back please' Arion tells you 'have you got golden leaf?' You tell Arion 'nope' // Some more time passed. You tell someone 'so you decline. okay then' Someone tells you 'may I use it for a time?' <-- Nice idea. And I shall humbly wait until you feel to return it back. You tell someone 'for what time?' Someone tells you 'for some time, not forever' You tell someone 'you could have asked me before you looted my corpse. Now I say no.' // No answer. // For some time he's been hiding in chameleon, so I could not even meet him in person. // Then he came for the item I've been looking for a while myself, and made himself visible. // ...

Title: Re: Interaction with a new Warder Post by: Sir Solan on November 08, 2005, 02:22:40 am Well, I was there too (in hide). Not all Warders were there for your blood. Rennie called them off and told them to leave, in fact :)
But even so, very dissapointing behaviour from Arion. If you ever need help against behaviour like that, there's an elf in the shadows nearby waiting to do so ;) Title: Re: Interaction with a new Warder Post by: Valeria on November 08, 2005, 11:14:52 am Here is my tough question on this. And before we get all defensive, my assumption is that Arion is attempting to play a deviant role in Warder (Kcejjedi attack on Griyam when trying to take over Entropy is another similar example).
Lets pretend that Arion was attempting to roleplay some sort of negative influence in the Warder clan. I think it could be detrimental to some potentially interesting roleplay to expose and discuss these things here. While it is certainly interesting to read about, I wonder if this is a bad idea in that if Arion is actually trying to be deviant in his role in Warder, well, it is pretty well exposed now. And with others commenting on the behavior (Forum comments regarding in-play activity - no offense Solan!), I guess I wonder if that can limit some alternative types of role play in realms. Should these types of "illegal" behaviors be shown here and discussed? Or is it something that should be played out in realms? Or, just displayed here, but without commentary? I have no idea what Arion is trying to do, and for all I know, Arion could very well be a horrible player (no offense again, please). But, I wonder if this is the place to expose these things as bad roleplay for discussion? Or as information only? I was completely snowed by this act of Arion, and now, looking at it, I find it rather amusing (especially considering subsequent realm activiites around it). I just fear that this could become a potentially limiting OOC type of information. I have logs of interesting things I have seen, Solamnic knights helping draconians, Knights initiating fights in the city, different clans working together to combat certain mobs... and so on. But in the expectation of interesting role play (what if other knights caught wind of the one Solamnic helping the drac? Would they rebel or kick him out?), I have not posted them here. Any ideas on this? Again, not wanting to sound like complaining on this, I am not, but want to know what others think about posting of certain things here that others could read and impact realms behaviors. Title: Re: Interaction with a new Warder Post by: Sir Solan on November 08, 2005, 06:35:57 pm No offense taken :)
Looking back, I see what you mean. A few things to add, though...firstly, the section it's in: Logs Let people see your amazing fights and roleplay examples! Maybe this is one of those situations? I'd say, we're free to look at examples of roleplay, as the section description indicates :) What wouldn't be right is to act on what you find out here, in-game. For example, if I hadn't been there myself, I wouldn't be able to act with the knowledge of Arion and all them attacking the guild. In this way, I'd say it's probably alright to post things here. Any discussion is our OOC opinions, and shouldn't affect the game :) Um...I had something else I wanted to add, but I can't remember it now, so I'll post it when I do :) Title: Re: Interaction with a new Warder Post by: Valeria on November 08, 2005, 07:33:27 pm No offense taken :) Looking back, I see what you mean. A few things to add, though...firstly, the section it's in: Logs Let people see your amazing fights and roleplay examples! Maybe this is one of those situations? I'd say, we're free to look at examples of roleplay, as the section description indicates :) What wouldn't be right is to act on what you find out here, in-game. For example, if I hadn't been there myself, I wouldn't be able to act with the knowledge of Arion and all them attacking the guild. In this way, I'd say it's probably alright to post things here. Any discussion is our OOC opinions, and shouldn't affect the game :) I guess in the case you describe, as you were there, I would agree that you could act on that information. I always wondered on some of these things how they actually affect gameplay since we aren't supposed to "know" certain things. I try to ignore, but of course, it is difficult to act one way knowing other information. In my case, I always try to be aware that there are things that I should not know in realms, that I actually do know. So that was the gist of my question, whether knowing (maybe knowing so soon since this just happened) is a good thing or not. In this case, knowing now is almost a bad thing, since it could influence the play, maybe undermining Arion. <-- giving Arion a lot of credit here... ;) |
