Elite roleplay: Q&A and OOC

19 Jun 2020, 9:35pm
Good question. Not exactly sure what RP Banter is for... or exactly what it means, or how it's to be used. Smalltalk, scuttlebutt, between RP characters, maybe? Comments on particularly well-formed body parts?

Certainly, not for posting pics of oneself in RL holding a sword, regardless of whether the RP character is keen on old-fashioned bladed weapons or not. Perhaps if Synthya were to practice with throwing knives on particular target silhouettes, or martial arts moves with her sword & bladed cestus on particular over-stuffed dummies...

Could be a thang...

Cuz, I actually have those things in RL. I won't be posting pics of them though.

Hm. I'm dismayed I missed the sword-holding pic, but I figured banter would be any conversation among characters wherever their character may be. If I just typed, "Sup.." IC in that channel, would it be okay?

.....maybe I'm IC right now and you all just think I'm OOC.

But, my own thoughts on it are, if anyone becomes too onerous or tedious, there's always the Ignore button. I haven't used it yet, although a few times, my finger has hovered... but I avoid it, cuz there's always the chance that the 'hoveree' might yet post something of value.

Hope springs eternal.

I dunno... give it a try... & see if the Chat Police pounce. I'll send you that pic via PM.

Re: the talking toaster: that was actually part of a story arc for Kyla Emmerich. She went out into deep space and ended up going mad and talking to the toaster, so it is very in character for her.

Isaiah EvansonWow Psymon, someone got sufficiently assmad that they felt they need to make a parody account of you.

It must be a bitch to be so thin-skinned.



For the record, I did not sleep with that person's wife.

I can't fall for this. I think you're trying to get me banned.

No way! Look, currently, IC, Synthya's still unconscious, sedated. But, since she's Bi & hasn't "gotten any" in hundreds of years, albeit most of that time in a frozen coma, doesn't mean those primal urges haven't been 'frozen' to the same extent.

I'd be willing to guess a good healthy steamy flirting, for example, wouldn't be out of the question, & even perhaps, qualifying for the RP Banter section. One never knows just how or where that might lead though.

I'd have to qualify any such experience as a 'walking dream' though as she doesn't yet know any spoken English.

Oh god, Syn. You reminded me of this. LOL.



Also, I posted in Banter. It will surely get deleted.

Creamy Goodness IIIA developer/player event You'll come across it if you look into recent ED history.

Create your story and don't worry about about the details. Some is always there to pick up on the little things. Can't let that hobble your creativity.


Did you read the book?  He wasn't called Harry Potter in it.  Drew used his forum handle, Beseiger.

He didn't read the book. Of the people here only a handful have.

It's all good to write your own story, but do worry about the details. Research stuff. Ask questions. If there isn't a definitive answer to something, try to think of a solution that remains plausible in the context of the lore.

The small stuff makes the difference between winging it and weaving a compelling story set in the universe you're working with.

Seconded. Details absolutely make or break a story in all regards.

Your right. I can't read a story if the writer gets one lil detail wrong.

Where did anyone say that?
