OOC: The Darkbane Temple of Evil

[The End of All Light.]

Haha just give the lady what she wants and she will love you even more . I guess we could do that, though sometimes when something requires too much thinking I bore of it because I like to be random. As for the forum being dead and all that, yes it was, but that is no excuse for people not to post, I get really annoyed when people want you to do everything for them. Role-play requires others to post instead of being lazy and waiting for something to happen, you should MAKE it happen. I do, and I am never without RP.

Ok awesome  . Your character reminds me of Akasha from Queen of the Damned. (When she is in that scene as a statue).

[Blood Roses Marionette]

When Tainted posts I shall. I do not want the post that I am responding to changed before I get to post. Good things come to those who wait or who ask for it.

[Malice]

There we go, my post is up. Since it has some pretty wide-sweeping ramifications/things that might confuse some people though, feel free to ask if you would like me to clarify a portion of it for you.

[Blood Roses Marionette]

We got it English John dahling

however... this is some thing I do not get

Apparently Malayeka's body had moved faster than her mind as well as her eyes playing tricks on her. For when she retook her spot in front of Pandora all that laided there was a maggot filled head. Her eyes quickly shifted to to both sides the sound of bugs filled the air. She felt a small gust of air as the little girl plunged her blade towards her.

Instead of spinning around to meet her face on she leap into the air. The blade grazing the top of her foot. Malayeka landing behind the small child seeing as there was nothing to stop the force of her attack. Her hand extending outwards towards Roses legs her nails searching for flesh. Each one laced with a different type of poison. Ranging from neurotoxin to simple cyanide. With barely more than a whisper but loud enough to be heard she said. "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me."

The plague of serpents, locusts were ignored, your character woulds have jumped up right into them

Getting a mouthful of bugs, then again have you ever been in a locust storm(swarm) the barbs on their legs can strip flesh off to the bone. Google it

Next how did your character grab the leg of a child. You lack any description of where your character is other than behind her. Try a wall for she just crawled out of the grate and walked towards Pandora

Leaping into the air, you did not say how high she left or took into consideration general structures of the temple and others around you

Maybe you just leaped in Tainted Nightmares or the other female character in the thread

Leaping into the air is kind of noob, something I would expect from Cel or Kalicity

Is your character standing, dancing, plucking eyebrows, crouching down verylow to the point she would nearly be laying on her stomach?

Which leg are you grabbing at?

You missed all the details that were vital to your post, like locations and direction for example

ok first off sorry for the auto, but as for the other post yes short and lacking detail. At the moment ive got alot  going on. im trying not to leave anyone hanging by not posting. sorry if im not all into right now. and i didnt say that i grabbed her leg.

Her hand extending outwards towards Roses legs her nails searching for flesh.

the key word in that sentence searching. i was trying not to auto this time. i know its not the worlds best post but at this point its the best i can manage. sorry if its not up to your high standards.

I think Blood Roses just wanted a rough idea of where you were aiming etc, in answer to the questions she posed about your character's position. I'm sure we can all understand if you have time constraints IRL, but telling everyone a few more details in this OOC thread can really help to establish what is happening in the scene.

For example- If I were to judge by the reply you made about the searching comment Malayeka, I would perhaps interprit it as you raking wildy at any part of Blood Roses legs, though obviously none of us like to make assumptions and so I think it would help greatly if, rather than insulting each other, we tried to keep it civil and simply answered each others questions.

As far as I can tell though, these are the questions Blood Roses was asking:

1. Do you acknowledge/avoid the swarm of insects that is caking/cloaking Blood Roses's body during your manoeuvre?

2. Where is your character positioned, in relation to Blood Roses's own? (are you facing her back, standing to one side of her and attacking, etc?)

3. Are you infact just generally raking at both of Blood Roses's legs, or did you intend to aim somewhere more specific? (Note here i'm not telling you to change your post or anything so you now attack her face lol, just asking if there is a part of your post where you mention your intended target that we seem to have missed. )

In the future, however, I personally wouldn't worry if you can't describe every little detail in a crystal clear fashion, since I understand when IRL cuts in to your RP time and makes it a real bitch to come up with something. What I would suggest though is that you try to slip in a few basic hints about directions of attacks etc into the posts, so then even if you don't have enough time you can post something like "Malaeyka swung her sword towards Blood Roses sternum", then afterwards when you have a few more minutes to spare, simply add something here in the OOC thread along the lines of "By the way just to clarify- I'm slashing with my sword in a diagonally descending arc, not thrusting or anything".

I've rambled enough for one post though lol, so hopefully the reflections of someone who has 'been in the game' for quite a long time can help you with your future posts, since i'd rather try to develop this RP community, than fling insults, but that's just me.

[align=justify:68aa833515]Ames did not say "grabbed her leg" which would indicate an auto. Instead she said "Which leg are you grabbing at?" it does not matter if the keyword is 'searching' because it is obvious you aren't going to kiss it to death. Grabbing indicates the terminology for 'taking, seizing, holding'... this just indicates to me, the asking of which leg is your character grabbing for. Yes your post lacks a little detail, that is no biggie but certainly when you have been attacked by someone and make motion or motions in order to dodge then attack back... you DO have to include the detail in relation to which limb is where, where you are actually attacking, how etc etc.

Your post makes it difficult to type a response because it lacks this detail. We all have shit going on RL, I know I certainly do. Stuff that takes me away from the PC for days on end. I have health concerns with this child I am carrying not to mention doctors with concerns for my own life during labor. It happens. But we make do with the time we have here.

I think the 'high standard' comment was a little over the top not to mention her 'noob' one; her and I have had words over this. In your reply you still did not answer her questions. Either way, the post remains and you do not answer she can basically void your post all together. A pretty legal action where Melee is concerned. I am not taking anyone's sides, just stating how it is for all concerned...[/align:68aa833515]

[Malayeka_Darkbane]

[Malayeka_Darkbane]

[Malice]
