Thread: roleplay in ravens point and other stuff

Tweet

Ok, I'm taking on a bit of a theme here so that I can rant at everyone and get a little more fun out of this website (which I so dearly love) Thanks person who introduced me (you know who you are)

I love ravens point despite a few rude interuptions (only kidding Wicked, your thoughts were greatly valued) and I enjoy the interactive writing, I eagerly log onto my computer first thing in the mornings to check my mail, that done, I get my coffee and settle in to see what delights someone has posted on the board... unfortunately nothing much seems to have happened recently apart from Putrid getting confused about what he's supposed to be doing, is he supposed to be saving souls or condemning them? or has he got it completely wrong and he's supposed to be doing something with fish?

You mentioned Wicked that as players we should not use eachothers characters, but I think to a certain extent it is unavoidable as there has to be interaction between characters, that is partly why I use a lot of bit part players to avoid tredding on anyones toes but I think it is more important that if we do use other peoples characters to make sure that we keep within the bounds that thier creator has set so they would do nothing out of character. Having said that though, one persons bit part player could well be the begining of another persons story line.

Ok so Putrid has been a bit whacked latley but hey, its fun, I know that I've certainly spent a lot of my time away thinking about how to stop him without killing him as I really don't want to see anyone leave because I messed up thier character.

I don't know how many of you re-read the postings on Ravens Point but I certainly have, it is most entertaining, I actually read the whole thing before I made my first post and I have read most of the postings again since though it is getting a little long to do in one sitting now (which is great!!!) If any of you do re-read the posts, you will find that there are several "open" storylines that are just begging to be picked up and run with, I am trying to bring them all together but it takes time and I have to say Putrid threw me for a loop for a while so that I was chasing round trying to sort kit out and then rescuing Frankie etc.

Anyway, I'm going to shut up and stop blithering on like the fool I am and let someone else have a go now, all comments here are greatfully recieved, give me something controversial if you feel like it, and I'll see what I can do with it.

Richard,dear Richard.We do not care that you are a fool.WE LOVE FOOLS!!!LOL.Just kidding buddy.I have a tendency to do whacky things with characters.Like when I invented BeezalBud.It was a spinoff of Black Widow's post of having Nurse Chatty Cathy duct taped Putrid and threw him in the transporter.I personally like putting little weird twists in storylines.I agree that sometimes its almost unavoidable not to use bits of another existing character but I'd be lying to say it wasn't fun to use another's character once in awhile.

Characters missing from Ravens Point? They aren't missing, I took them all home with me for the weekend, I smuggled them out in a greasy shoebox so no one would notice.
I put the box down on on the kitchen table , went to the bathroom to wipe some grease off of my hands when I came back, Mr. Tuxedo had opened the box, and bitten the heads off about half of the characters!
Naughty Kitty!
"They were fresh mice!"
"No they weren't!"
"Yes they were!"
"They were little personalitys, walking, talking,doing things."
"They mostly tasted just like mice, I rest my case, by the way, can I now have the rest of them?"
"No you may not."
"How about just a small corner from everyone's head, just a nibblet?"
"I am pretty sure that they would notice."
"Except for the heads that I have already gnawed off."
"You know, you really HAVE misused everyone's character!'
"They will never know if you don't write about it, Jim!"
"It will be our little secret then."

Confessions of a chronic laugher:
Yes, I do it.
Yes, I do it as often as I can.
Yes, I am addicted.
No, I can't seem to stop.
I am in control of the urge and usually not do it in other people's faces, especially if they are the direct cause of my mirth, what I mean is, if they are doing something extremely inane and my laughing might cause them supreme embarassment infront of their friends or relatives, I can usually wait til later when they are down the road.
If I had a dollar for everytime people during my house tour have said, "And WE paid YOU to be here?" Because I am laughing so much during their tour, wait, I DID get money for my own laughing, yes, they did pay me to be here, so I got more than a dollar..
I used to look back upon each year passed at New Years and judge the past year by how many times I had laughed so hard that I got a stomach ache, more than just once, and I thought that I had had a good year of life. This was many years ago, ever since I've had my house and tour-business , I laugh like this so many times a year that I really can't remember.
Most of the time I'm laughing at the same moment as my customers, this way they can't come up with enough straight-jackets to take us all away , "safety in numbers", remember!
Just a night or two ago I began doing something I feel is really pretty silly to frighten people with, so you know I'm laughing the whole time I'm doing it! (and likewise for them)
As they are trying to find their way through part of the house there is a door with a large plexiglass window in it. They are busy trying the door handle, I am on the other side of the plexiglass in the dark, I take a life-size cardboard cut-out(mounted on 1/4 plywood and it attacks them up against the glass!(Loni Anderson)
I think the first nano-second they react because in the dim light they think it actually might be a real person, then in the nano-seconds to follow, I think their fear-reaction is because some part of them realises it is actually an inanimate object attacking, then there is a psychological "cross-over" that adds to confusion, which is a pretty fertile ground for fear.
Or maybe I'm just a total idiot? Everyone's laughing at something? Maybe it's me? hahahah! It doesn't matter to my ego, they did pay ME to be here, remember!(and SO many of them return!not for an arm-wrestling match, but for more of this same silly stuff!)

Hey there guys, OK, this is the last I'm going to say on the "RULES" subject. Richard, The rule I posted about not using other people's character's read 1) You *never* use another persons character UNLESS you are interacting with them. And you never use them in a way that is out of character for them. Don’t make them do things they would not normally do, or give them aspects or abilities they have not given themselves. Try NOT to place them in places they were not seen last, as this may mess up THEIR story.

I didn't say to NEVER, EVER use anothers character. When you make a post, you should however, NOT use others character's as your MAIN character. I see some fresh posts that are using other people's characters and THEIR character is nowhere to be found. This is what I mean by NOT using others---use YOUR OWN---I don't know what is so difficult about understanding this very simple thing?

And I know you were only kidding about the interuptions thingy, but Halloween Town was started by MOI, and I feel it's my duty to try and keep it the way I think it should be.

If no one truly wants Halloween Town to be a Role-playing place, and would just rather have it a story telling place, I can talk to Larry, and have the role-playing part of the forum taken off--since we won't have any role-playing, or maybe some one, that wants one can start another topic for it(role-play).

Let me know what you all think, maybe I'm just way off track here, every one seems to have fun, with the exception of people trying to Role-play, LOL, with the way things are. I can just shut-up and leave you all to your fun.

Awww come on guys, I know your not shy, and I know you all have opinion's--let's hear 'um

"The banshee shrieks with WICKED delight, on this, a cold and death filled night!"

AS A LARGE CROWD OF POSTERS HUDDLED OUTSIDE OF WICKED'S WINDOW SHE COULD HEAR THEM SCREAM AND YELL..."STONE HER!STONE HER!"LOL.JUST KIDDING.
