Don't want to clutter up the Reaper. OOC Discussion
« on: September 12, 2007, 11:25:12 PM »
I'm not trying to step on any toes, Radu, I promise, I'm just trying to get back into the swing of things with Napalu. And instead of whining about not having anyone to RP with, I made my own RP with a series of random events. Isn't RP supposed to be about improvisation and rolling with the punches? Tanthis was going to die anyway, if it's the notch in your belt that concerns you, I can bring him back just as easily as he was killed.

With all due respect to you as a writer, you JUST submitted your application to become a deity. And that's fine, I have no problem with you being a God or people worshiping you, but Napalu and Ophion were the first dieties to ever be accepted here on TDR (even if we haven't gotten to play much).

It is my understanding that Napalu is kind of the 'poster child deity' for TDR, at least that's the way it seemed when Dy and Scottt explained it all to me and the war with Sharvani (bringing Napalu to the material realm has more to do with the war on Sharvani than it does this tavern incident). I could be wrong, hopefully they can clear this up.

And my attack is not void. No outright powers were used in anything Napalu did, it was all the work of gravity and bad luck. If anything, as far as special abilities go, you were the one sacrificing blood points to do a special combo of some sort (are powers different for characters like that? I don't know, I don't play vampires or any off-breed thereof).

Here is a link and a quote from Dy about the TDR deities.

I wish to declare that thus far the only approved Gods or godlike figures are Napalu and Ophion. If you wish for your character to be acknowledged, as a god or godlike figure in TDR it is best to update your character sheet as stipulated above then pm the link to your char sheet to all of the admins and await further information. We do not plan to center TDR solely on godlike characters and balance must be maintained, those currently approved have proven not only merit but also application of skill and attitude, in the activation of how their characters are displayed to the community. No godlike character in TDR will be permitted to abuse this power.


I really don't want to argue about this, or have it come between us, I'm just trying to prove that I was playing well within the boundaries of my character. I apologize if any of this has upset you.

Radu The Ferenczy said - I beg to differ. Radu has been elevated to the status of God ( and has those that worship him, making it legal )...No powers can be used within the Weeping Reaper Tavern, as posted by Kain, all of which are void and nullified. Therefore, the auto is disregarded. The kill, if any, goes to myself or Ladislas, the two that have been ordered to carry out the execution.


While the scene has created confusion, there are several points to be considered in regards to the validity of all actions.

1. Firstly, as yet Radu has not reached the acclamation of godly status, the request is still up for discussion.
2. The use of powers mention by Radu, does not exist. In fact Napalu's entrance is no different from where Sycorax fell through the roof and 'swallowed' the NPC below, excepting of course that Tanthis is an actual player character. So the warding placed upon the tavern to restrict the use of Powers is irrelevant.
3. On careful consideration since Tanthis has been absent and thus by his lack of response has been creating difficulties in the continuous flow of this storyline, the following suggestion is made:

Since Radu made the first attack and considering that the Wamphyric speed is known IC to be phenomenal to the point that when utilised extends to being near impossible to see to the naked eye by a mortal, that his hit would thereby have connected first with the subsequent damage given. Napalu's free-falling incident, being designated as having massive velocity, striking Tanthis AFTER the killing blow had been made.

Seeing as how both actions, without Tanthis being present are effectively auto’s has been considered, but attempts have been made to contact Tanthis's player without success... For now, the result should be let stand until the player returns and disputes said claim of character death.

While not the perfect solution, it acknowledges the inherent natural speed of the Wamphyri and the 'accidental' nature of Napalu's strike, whilst allowing others in the role-play to continue role-playing, which if noticed seems to have paused while others await to see how this functions. Had Tanthis not already been in a conflictive situation where the likely demise of his character stood a high chance of occurring and had he not simply vanished out of the scene on the assessment that his character was in trouble by the simple appearance of others in the scene, the auto / forced kill of by Radu would not have been permitted. Should the actions of Napalu been upon any other character present, they too would have been voided.

Until Tanthis returns and asserts his claim for his characters life the character shall be considered dead... so on that note, the scene continues.

[align=justify:b133bcc57d]Personally I found Tanthis's presence rather interruptive to the flow of the tavern because he was so diligent in no posting and no doubt could get in contact with either Scott or someone to speak of a reason why he cannot post, I do know he was/is in contact with another friend aka Kelli. Not only does he ignore others but acts totally arrogant when people abuse his character which is perfectly in the nature of the character to do so. Not that I plan to enforce auto’s, and it cannot be considered as anything but, however, unless Michael aka Tanthis returns to TDR and wishes to content to the fact of it, then that shall be dealt with when it occurs and not before. Personally I would have preferred Tanthis being written out, but his death works just as well. Until he returns, I support the decision and statement made by Scott.

Though I DO have to support Raven simply that no powers were used only means of incident and accident that led to the misfortuante demise of Tanthis.

As they say... accidents do happen.[/align:b133bcc57d]

Fine with me, so long as I get to make a mess and cause mass confusion.

My Apologies good people, I was waiting the resolution of actions, which now resolved will see me posting today in the IC thread. Sadly work calls right now, but I will get Ladislas out of the doorway ASAP... Many thanks for your patience.

I meant to post tonight, hopefully I'll find time tomorrow. I sort of got caught up in a guild thing in EQ2, but I swear I meant to post, I even sent myself a PM outlining what I wanted to put in my post so I didn't forget.

If I find time during the day tomorrow (not likely), I'll do it at work.

Mint tulip, eh? Is that anything like the official drink of the Kentucky Derby, the mint julep?

[align=justify:24844de159]Dat's ther one! New yer were a smartie pantz the min I saw yer walk through that 'ere portal. Nuffin like a sprig of mint to freshen yer breath -sticks a spring up her skirt as tiny shrieks sing out- "oh god... please... pleaseeeeee... noooooooo! aherft aherft! *cough*"

Veryyyy fashionable summer drink, though I prefer mine with 2 cups of Bujo marinus toxin, 2 cups of squeezed yak testicles, of course the whiskey *grins hidiously* crushed eyeballs and those lurvely fresh sprigglets of mint and frogs jelly. -pulls out the sprig from between her legs. Shaking all the ingredients up in her smelly old shoe then pouring out the contents in a saucer topping it with the sprig of mint.

Ah would yet like a pint? *gives a sweet toothless grin*[/align:24844de159]
