Jacyn RynhardtHey all,

Been looking at this role play. Seems there have been some disputes in the past.

Could I get a general consensus of the "tribal / community" rules of what is acceptable and what is not. Just to be on the same page as everyone else.



Pretty much mirroring what Stryker says.

But in addition, if someone pipes up to say "I disagree with that thing wot you just gone done" try not to take offence. I'll be the first to admit that we, as a group, have an unfortunbate habit of coming across as a tad aggressive when something crops up. We don't mean to, but it happens and we are working on it so bare with us

For clarification though, for an example of 'bad RP' follow Strykers actions during the events in the InGaBa section starting on page 58. I refer to this as the "Marybelle Incident"

Other examples include the appearance of Khajit in the bar, which is an obvious no-no as it, again, doesn't follow established lore, or having your character be best buddies with the likes of Zachary Hudson or Archon Delaine.

Basically, whatever actions you want to take have to be feasible within the game universe.



OMG, I started reading that and shot coffee through my nose! Damn funny. But I see the point thought. Okay.

Would it be a problem if I rp starting out with a sidewinder? Kinda leave the character to be shaped by the events that occur here?


Shaped out by the roleplay you mean? I'd still be wise to come forth with even a minuscule background at the very least, just so people know how to address you by appearance or the basics (like your Federation generalized or something for example).
You know, the whole "assume my gender" type of thing XD

Good point Markus.

Best to have something for other RPers to go on that's more than just "That person there". It doesn't have to be a Logbook Biography that many people have done. My very first writings here were in the bar on Page 44, not Logbooks. It may not be a shining example of how to write, but no one complained so I guess I did something right

I have somewhat of a backstory. It's pretty general. Boy grows up. Parents wants him to take over family business.  Young man doesn't want to. He opens up about a few life choices. Family disowns him. Young man works a bit, and finds his way into the Pilots Federation. Does his thing there. Graduates and gets his loaner sidewinder.

Jacyn RynhardtI think I wasn't clear.

That's perfectly fine. I didn't mean to imply you must have a fully fledged history of your character. Just a description that allows others to instigate an interaction with you without resorting to a direct message or similar method

Sweet. I just figured out how to publish the bio! Site is a bit tricky, but damn, is it useful!

If you need a hand, just ask. Everyone here is friendly...ish....

Fair Warning though: Some people stay in character even in these sections. Examples include Anna Reid and occasionally Jemine Caesar. It's hard to tell at times but rest assured, anyone who is genuinely aggressive will be picked up on. If you're unsure, just ask though

Yeah asking and sugar coating your own feet is a major here

Does it exfoliate, or something?

Nah, just, glitter in the lipstick ya know? XD

No, I'm afraid I only had a phase involving doing my nails. Well, there was my thrilling performance as an Oompa Loompa that one time. Lipstick was required for that.

Oompa Loompas are not lore related so I'm going to excuse myself from this unintellectual conversation goodbye XD

Not perfect but pretty effing close Phisto

The rigging/modeling to get it identical would have been just a pain in the ass for not a lot of benefit.

Tell me what you think.
