Elite roleplay: Q&A and OOC

With that hair? Maybe just you K...

Marra, thanks for the heads-up on Character bio's — I'd never even noticed! Started one for the Tiggster, although I think I'll need to ponder somewhat on the history (Tigon has usually been a Dwarf Tank in whatever he's been used).

You need more fire, molten stone, explosions and horrible deaths to be a vulcan.
0/7 on the scale of vulcanness for you.

I agree.
At least have a hammer and anvil in shot to be Hephaestus' equivalent.

I think some people are missing the point of Roleplay: Banter.

"How do I get pornhub on my sidewinder."

That's not in character, that is just silly.

"Respect the setting" still applies.

Ugh.

Live has been incredibly busy of late.

Hoping to be around, posting and chatting more.

Apologies if I've left anyone hanging.

Honestly most of what happens in Banter feels far out of place from the more engineered role play portions of the site. There is no clear description, so based on the 'trend' and the current use of the thread, it feels more like a way to 'banter' as your character without it having a 'true to scale' effect on your storyline.

It feels more like a hybrid of OOC and one of the other more traditional rooms. Maybe that's not its intent, but that could be more clearly outlined. As far as I have assumed it's felt like an OOC for my character. 'Banter' or back and forth that doesn't really exist in the arcs going on as rigidly.

Phisto has been in a bar, eating fried food, etc for instance when he obviously wasn't in ingaba. In the meantime his character has been running around the docks, or been in two places at once essentially- along with many other RP'ers.

I'd love more clarity on it to be honest- but for now in my mind it seems to sit in a different reality exterior to the constants of the other rooms.

Thoughts?

It's literally just there to banter in character (aka in character chit-chat), as the description says. How you tie it in to your main story (if you even do) is up to you.

It was created for us to have a spot where we could badger on in character so it doesn't spill over into places like OOC and introductions where a few people would have IC exchanges and arguments that may otherwise be interpreted as actual drama.

At least now if there is a spat, it will be interpreted for what it is: two fictional characters having a fued.

If it helps, I've viewed it more as like an IC message board/chat function our characters have access to aboard their ships. It's also felt more like a "soft IC" area, where things aren't necessarily canon. Which, in a sense, kind of fits with Simon's point about how it seems kind of nebulous and could serve a few purposes.

On this note, I always imagined it as the futuristic equivalent to a CB radio. I mean, some of us really are space truckers after all.

Its basically an IC discord server. Think the Inara discord server, but instead of us IRL, its our characters talking to each other. Not really a difficult concept.

It's fer screwin' 'round, y'all!

Yeeehooo

I haven't had any difficulty with it Anna, pretty sure I get it (got it) just fine. Just making observations based on previous opinions and extrapolations as to it's intended use and trying to be a team player/not ruin other people's time by operating exterior to its current implication. Respect for others essentially. Considering there is no description, no one really 'gets' it better than anyone else. All pretty conjecture at this point. Happy hunting folks.
