Okay i think this did it...........your email adress somehow became banned........i think it will work now

[Master Yoghurt]

Well said General! That makes better quality roleplay. Be descriptive when battling. Describe what weapons you have, armour/clothes you wear, the excact location of the fight, how you arrived, your feelings/thoughts, precize descriptions of how you perform your moves etc.

[Master Yoghurt]

Keywords are atmosphere and realism.

[General Ceel]

When i started The Gungan Council the posts where like that.......descriptive and entertaining.....but somewhere along the way things started to become less story oriented......i hope we can change that here!

[Master Yoghurt]

We have not had any real story based roleplay up for a couple of weeks. With story based, I mean such as the Kala Stone Roleplay, Son of Turbogeek episodes etc. In such threads, the focus is story rather than straight battle. We should have more of those.

i think the Non SW powers was dirrected to me because of me useing Garou arts. I do seem to remember a few Sith (That will remain nameless) useing Vampyre powers and speed. But yes the God mood needs t o go. I am one of the first that need to work on it. I think we all need to work on it. I for one will cut ut some of my Garou arts.

[General Ceel]

The tournament was the ultamate example of how not to do an RGP. All it was was fight fight fight........and nothing more.

[verse dawnstrider]

I like the roleplays myself. I thinkt hey are rather fun. They are the main reason i stay here. We need more of them.

[Master Yoghurt]

Personally, I have no problems with Garou, Vampyre or Dragon Balls moves as long as they are not used to unfair advantage (god mode), say toss a planet in your opponents direction. Many of the moves are thinkable in the SW universe even if not found in EU literature or in the movies. But it has to be in SW context: "Supernatural" powers should be related to the Force.

[verse dawnstrider]

I will work on that. I will make sure my garou arts a related to the force in a way. No god mode.

[Darth Turbogeek]

The Tournament was never meant to be a Roleplay. It's just an excuse to beat the @#%$ out of each other

Roleplay is something someone needs to be prepared to do and to be the person to police it.

Now, I am very concerned looking at the person who started this thread. Why? I'm pointing the finger back at you. And you Sith. Because YOU are the ones who take up God mode by far the worst! What about Videl1999? I utterly refused to fight her as she was the worst violator of the lot!!! Throwing mountains??

Now Pracid, shut up. We do NOT need some DM in hewre,the beauty of this place is that the PLAYERS decide the rules and the PLAYERS decide what to do. That is what is so great...

General, your opinions as ever are correct and too the point. My suggestion for an RPG is to start one, define the settings and run it. It's a lot of fun and I have done a few.

Also remember the smaller battles are part of the bigger picture here. Everything we do is part of the bigger story - how I play is a presume that everything here is part of one big RPG and my history shows it. The small battles are only a small part of a far bigger RPG I presume I am in everytime I set up in here. If everyone realised that too, that is how Swfans.net BG works

I do have a suggestion for God modes and maining.... call down the wrath of DT. When I am here (not very often anymore), I'll take note and make a point of wedgying the offender or beating the crap out of them with a frying pan

[General Ceel]

Well i just started an RPG thread so have fun with it.

[Darth Lynch]

I think it's rather low to attack a person who can't even reply DT.

But you say the Sith are the worse? Okay how about Alpha. The kid uses Saijin powers, he can turn into pure energy, he has used both Jedi and Sith techniques and then he has about a dozen weapons or armor protection devices. Hell he can raise the dead for crying out loud! What is he? The second coming?! Currently HE is the worse offender of ANY group. He is pulling whatever it takes to win and much of it is non SW to the extreme, he tends to bend the rules as much as he wants, cutting up people or ripping them apart just to win.

If people used alittle more imagination in a fight they wouldn't need a bunch of non SW powers as a clutch to give them a win or be the big man/woman on the board. We don't need a DM if only people would use alittle more common sense when RPing here. Common sense and imagination, two of the better things people should use more often.

[General Ceel]

You are most wise.........for a sith

[JediBoricua]

Well there has always been the battle crowd and the rpg crowd. I post on both types of threads, but I have never started an rpg story myself. I wrote one and I'm not sure where it is. But sure Ceel go for it, and if the first rpg does not go well, try again. Until everyone gets into it.

I know the sith empire does not like rpg. Take for example the son of turbogeek, or the attack on the jedi temple. They were jedi, and imperials except for some sith like firebird.

[Darth Turbogeek]

Maybe he is the worst offender at present, but he isnt the worst. Videl was as bad at times and other Sith in the past have been far worse. He will learn Lynch. He's young and needs some patience, but I've seen ones like him turn into RPG gold.

If you dont like what they do, ignore them or point out what you think is wrong. They soon get the message - either they shape up or ship out.

ummmm.... now where did I say I was going to pull a low act? I was making a tongue in cheek suggestion.

[Darth Lynch]

I meant it was low to attack Videl directly since she is currently gone due to a ban put on her net time by her parents. It seems unfair to directly single out one person or one side when there are obvious exampls of god modes on either side.

I do agree with everything else your saying DT. I can find no fault with your reasoning.

As for RPG threads like Son of TurboGeek I admit to being poor at such a thing, I can easily come up or do a good story it's just my intrest is not into such things so I have little desire to post in them. I enjoy the one on one or royal rumble format more, perhaps in due time I'll get into those RPG threads, should give it a shot at least.

[Dae Jinn]

as a newbie sith, i would just like to say that the rules ( at least to me) were made VERY clear by Ogre on how we can and can't battle and i quote:
"1. No killing. You can't just start a fight and kill someone, same goes for your opponent. If he does you can point out the rule and say it doesn't count then kick his butt for good measure to teach him a proper lesson in the process. You can hurt people but you can't cut off their hand or rip their limbs off but you can maim them and cut them as such.
2. No God mode or powers. This is SW and while you can have a special talent or skill you can't stray too far from SW. People will respect you and fight you more if you stay within the SW universe. However this is flexable to a degree."
i've found this ( the above ) is true, no-one likes it if you stray to far from SW and NO-ONE likes god-mode. Same with cutting off limbs...i've noticed in some of the threads that certain people ( no sith or gungan that i have seen ) cheat. it screws everyone up. i think we should make up rules that we can all agree on and post them on each message board.
on the story-telling side of it, i think the sith board is doing alright in that aspect. i do agree that people should describe the battle grounds, clothes, weapons, etc; in all the "training" threads i've been in, this has happened. it makes it much more easier and clearer when you're fighting.

[Pracid Trip]

Hey; I respect DT as much as the next guy but who died and made him "god" for lack of a better term. I mean this guy preaches about all the ills of having a DM but insists on having some Police Like obligation over the board. I think someone needs to remember that they are just a player and that no matter how long they've been here; or how much respect they garner they are nothing more than a player-

[Darth Crank]

I am also new to the sith, But right now i hear everyone blaming "us" sith, for useing God like modes.For the short time i been here i seen more jedi use god like modes, Ex. like for today, i was in a battle with LL, and everything was going great, and half way through the fight he injects me with bacta, and says i got 5 minutes to live...

Come on!! what kind of jedi injects people with bacta,I have not once seen that in the movies or books.

I'm not saying all sith are not useing god mode,cause i'm sure theres alot of them that do.....
