Luke3107I'm contemplating RPing with a second character... Should I make a second profile to help differentiate between the characters?



I think a second profile would be very useful. A few others do it already.


It's true. I have a second profile for a second character.

I am still looking for any feedback on Lilith. I've made a few additions since I mentioned her last.

Critisism or Compliments, I want to hear from you guys as I very rarely, if ever, play the bad guy in anything. In Elite I actively avoid things that may gain me a bounty or even in Fable I was always the Benevolent Leader. It really is a new venture for me so any constructive feedback is welcome.

First bit of feedback: make the url clickable



A simple copy + paste job can be a pain for people on mobile.

I thought it would be automatically clickable. Sorted now, thanks

Ok, I tried to make a second profile for my character however it only allows one profile per email, and I only have one email. Plus I can't be bothered with the fuss of making and remembering the details of a second email so I'll just be using this profile.

It will bve easy enough to deal with, but in the event both characters end up in the same locations I will simply seperate the two with subheaders. Unless they end up interacting, (I haven't decided if they know each other or not yet). I hope this doesn't end up being taken as patronism should it occur, but simply a way to minimise confusion.

Simply put it will look like this:

Luke:
Blah, blah, etc........

Lilith
Blah, blah, bang, etc.....

This will only occur if they are participating in different stories but in the same section (i.e. The Docks, Citi Gateway, etc)

Hey guys, is there any sort of disclaimer over names etc. that we have to state somewhere, like 'All persons and names in this narrative are fictitious blah blah and so on'?

Or are we all grown-up and understand that none of it is real, anyway, it's all fictitious.

Just wondering.

I've never bothered with any disclaimers, nor have I seen anyone use disclaimers, so I think you're fine.

Not a disclaimer as such, but don't use actual song lyrics in your stuff. Titles and names are OK, but recording labels have software which scans the net for the unauthorised use of lyrics. You could end up being sued for breach of copyright.

Yeah, I probably should've mentioned the idea that using anything that's copyrighted is probably a bad idea.

How about the stuff on Radio Sidewinder? I'm thinking/hoping most of that's not copyrighted (hopefully) and it's a wonderful source of 'scenery and immersion' for logbooks and stuff. Perhaps I should ask them. I'll do that.

Thanks, both. You've made an old man very unhappy

I've referenced Radio Sidewinder once or twice in Things. You should be okay.
