I'm not playing in a "comedy" that belittles rape, torture, murder, and cannibalism. Keep your player in check and I won't have to.

That was neither a breech of player/character, considering that it was in the narrator's voice, nor was it a joke.

In case you have not seen my suggestion before, I suggested that Kaiser's role be the one with pragmatic common-sense. This means that he is not obligated to be funny or make jokes on anything. Instead what will be funny is how other characters will act towards his more serious persona, in comparison to the eccentricities of everyone else. Don't get me wrong, I won't allow Mature 18+ Level dark humor. And I will take action if it comes to that. But I don't think attacking a player in the IC is "Keeping them in check"

Like I said, refrain from breaking the 4th wall under any circumstances. You referenced a roleplayer, which is basically breaking the 4th wall already. Besides, 'The Narrator" spoke of this story, as a story (and a non-fiction one, at that). He never spoke (or even suggested) this to be a fictional roleplay made by random people on the internet. That's why using him as your point of view doesn't justify breaking the 4th wall. And if it wasn't a joke, then what was it supposed to be then? An insult? If not a joke, then it seems like a sudden outburst more than anything.

The only belittling of torture here would probably making things look worse than they actually are.
Such as:
The Executioner had the victim set up beside the rack as he prepped the guillotine overhead. This particular victim would get the worst torture yet....
The Guillotine came down on a lemon wedge the executioner then placed into his honey tea and the rack near the victim a maid was setting dishes to dry. The Executioner then took a seat in the armchair across from the victim, put on his reading spectacles and set the tea down beside him. From the table beside him he drew out the book; Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. The Victim began to scream and the executioner opened the book.
"Chapter one..."

Hmm "female meat" that couldn't possibly be sexual innuendo there, now could it? "One way or another" Did the thought ever cross your mind that Jim might not want his player approached for "use as a... woman" or have to fight off murderous intent that he isn't allowed to defeat because his opponent is a PC (and have us thrown into the same adventure by the GM so that it can happen again)? It is the cat tossed into the dog pound scenario.This isn't funny, this is a threat. A hollow one, but a threat nevertheless. It is a bullying technique. I can't just laugh about this. I'm sorry, but I'm not playing a "comedy" like this.

I wish you well, but consider this a drop unless there is a compromise that can be reached.

[Deserted]

Changed my post, by the way.

Hmm... I'll admit that I overlooked that. I suppose I considered it a typo and failed to understand what it meant. For now, the thought is excusable (considering the character's personality), unless Rabid makes Kaiser act on it in IC, and that sort of action is something that I will not allow. Personal thoughts on other characters are fine (as long as it doesn't stray into blatantly obvious 18+ territory), but acting on characters in a way that isn't liked by the player in control isn't something I'll stand for.

That's why I made us as a squad, so that the players would have their characters work together instead of going against each other. If there is still a problem with this issue, please say so. I respect your decision to drop if that's what you wish, but I am still making attempts to find a compromise

[Deserted]

That was why I posted the way I did. You don't have to have an OOC post or even your character speak to use bullying. If that was not his intent, I would advise that he figures out a better way of showing his character's depravity. And that could be part of the reason Jim hasn't posted. I can't speak for him, of course, but I HAVE seen it happen before.

I WANT this game to run. I WANT to play. I just have seen players run amok with characters that are potent like that, and the GM usually lets them do it, not realizing he is driving other players away. I can't say for sure that is what Anubis is doing, but I CAN say that Durun is prime for dominating a game. Anubis needs to be careful or he might be accidentally destroying this game just by letting the character be himself.

Thanks for taking another look a t what bothered me.

[Rultaos]

We'll have to get the opinions of both Rabid and Jim I think, before we'd be able to come to a compromise. Since, as you've said, we can't speak for them. As I've also said, I won't let things be taken too far. Sure, a dark reference is fine, as long as it's not so specific and detailed, but using it too many times isn't amusing anymore. Part of the creative factor of this roleplay comes from how people can make amusing things happens, without falling into Mature or Dark territory, and I was simply willing to give Rabid the chance to attempt so (If he believed that he could pull something off with his character).

[Illogical Jim]

No, Jim wasn't offended. I've just been a bit tied up- and writer-blocked. Honestly, I hadn't really considered Rabid's post in that light. I can definitely see where you're coming from, Deserted, but I don't think he necessarily intended for it to come off that way. Or, well, I hope not, anyway.

[Roleplayer001]

Deserted, I'm shooting you a PM. Mostly Because I'm confused and also because you seem to have an issue with me. If anyone else has a problem with me or my character's actions, please shoot me a PM rather than crowding up the OOC. I will do the same favor towards you.

Secondly, OP, I thought that most people would understand the basic functions of the guild since it is a rather prestigious organization? I have to say I sort of agree with Deserted's sentiment about that.

Deserted said
Sorry, I was taking it to mean that you were going to show us around and an "I follow" wasn't needed.

. Although I can imagine how pissed off everyone else (their characters) would be if your character simply avoided all the places that involved sinful things like the beer hall XD

Thirdly, Spark's excuse is utterly hilarious and so ridiculous I probably would have bought it. XD Kudos for that performance.

The basic functions are a given, but the methods through which they do their jobs aren't exactly common knowledge :). Hence, the need for a rundown. Like Karadar said, most visitors are only permitted in the lobby area, so they wouldn't be aware of the rest of the rooms in the Guild. Take for example a delivery company, not everyone is aware of how Fedex organizes and ships deliveries. Especially since there is no internet in this universe XD.

[ReaptheMusic]

nya, it's a bit stoic for a comedy... :<

[Rultaos]

I have a busy day ahead of me (I'm attending a ball tonight). I may be able to post later, but I make no promises. If not, I'll post tomorrow.

[Rultaos]

Got a post up. It's not that long, but it should give you guys something to work with :).

@Rabid and Deserted: What's the update between you two? I'd like to know if Deserted is still going to be with us, and what compromise the two of you reached.

Also Reap, is your sig from "A Monster in Paris"? I liked that movie :D

[Deserted]

Good news, he isn't a jerk! False alarm everyone. (2 for 2 this group keeps surprising me. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this scenario play out the other way. I think like 5 times.)
We have a snippet of conversation to finish up right quick, then we can get back to the game.

[ReaptheMusic]

It is, thank you for noticing! :D I wished Lucille would have gotten with Franceaur in the end v-v

Glad to hear it! It's good to see a potential problem resolved before it gets out of hand :). And it goes to show that you shouldn't assume you know people when you really don't

ReaptheMusic said It is, thank you for noticing! :D I wished Lucille would have gotten with Franceaur in the end v-v

Their relationship reminded me of "The Phantom of the Opera" in some ways (Monstrous yet caring and talented man falls for a famous stage actress). But still, it would be hard to have a fulfilling life with a giant roach (Where are they gonna get kids ). Besides, it seemed that Franceaur's true love was music, which he should have no trouble fulfilling :)

[Rultaos]

It's been 3 days, and not a single word from anyone :(. I know we're under no obligation to be fast, but... What's going on with everyone? I know you're around Reap, but everyone else has yet to post (Deserted even said he would be posting soon).
