If you have a moment...

Post by Pheasant »

I'm not one to start drama, but I have noticed a lack of interest in other players seeking out my character. I didn't think much of this because I'm not super active and I trance a lot and that's alright... But I heard through the grape vine that this is most likely because some of you think Dimitri's controller and I are the same person. I can understand how this would become a rumor since both characters are rarely seen without the other, but it's just irritating that because of this Dimitri's controller and I have to suffer the consequences of such a rumor. It hurts the role play environment as well when a rumor like this starts and characters become ignored. There's are a few players who know Dimitri and I personally and can confirm that he and I are two separate people who just enjoy playing Underlight together. And I shouldn't feel the need to do this, but maybe our wedding website will squash this rumor and everything will go back to rainbows and glitter : https://www.theknot.com/us/chelsie-clap ... heknot.com
I won't respond to this post, but any comments, questions, concerns can be directed to my inbox.
Thank you for reading and I hope this has cleared up any further rumors. C:

Ok, so I'm on a lot of meds right now and not thinking real clear, but this has to be the stoopidest post I've read in a while. Here's why:

#1. It's nearly impossible to double log two characters at the same time. Shank and Maverick, errm, Magnum & Espada had a tough time getting Espada to work, and they're two different people, under one roof.

#2. If you're smart enough to hack into the system and get away with double-logging two characters, you're violating UL Rule #1 (read it).

#3. Most everyone here knows About #1 & 2 above and knows that people can't do that.

#4. Koi-Echelon shoulda said this instead of getting into panda-porn.

Now that the Capt'n Obvious stuff is outta the way... mebbe you need to ask yourself a few questions. For instance:

#1. What is my character known for?

#2. What do other people know about my character, so that they can interact with me (when I'm not tranced all the time, that is)?

#3. How can people interact or seek me out, when they know little to nothing about me? Have I written anything in the IN-CHARACTER forums that people can use inside the game? Or, do I only post to the OOC forums, that are not allowed to be referred to in-game.

So...I'll help you get started. Write a bio. What's a bio? There's something you can bring up in game to spur interaction. It used to be mandatory for a first sphere quest and it gave people a way to know new characters. Lace knows little to nothing about Hael, and she knows ~something~ about everyone. Ok, I take that back... Hael is meek, quiet, scared of everything, and likes to dance. Not much to seek Hael out to interact with her about.

Second, ~do~ something in the City. If you can only dream for an hour a week, make that hour something that people will remember and remember you for.

Third, interact with your houses/strongholds. I know Hael is Calenture but is she in EA too? I have NO idea.

Damn, I think I'm feeling better... I'm getting all snarky. Not trying to be mean, hun... don't take it wrong. But seriously think on that a bit. You'll get it!

What does Hael dream of doing? Dreaming without Dimitri might be a good idea, if only for a little while (minutes, even). Speaking of Dimitri, he can help develop your character.

Hopes this helps and believe me, we all know you're not double logging two characters. Cuz if you are, you're violating the rules and the GM's would put an end to it quickly.

You know, I just can't resist. I'm sorry you think my post is "stoopid", but that's alright. I thought it was too. I was trying to politely put an end to a rumor that was started, but you "not trying to be mean" to me decided to, well be kinda mean. So allow me to answer your list in polite grace.
1. While it is nearly impossible, I did see it happen when I was playing under a different name a while back. And yes, it was annoying, but totally doable.
2. I'll admit, I know nothing about hacking. Not where my smarts lie. Thank you for reminding me and UL that it is, indeed, against the rules that I have read. A few times.
3. Please re-read 1 and 2.
4. Bestiality is frowned upon where I am from.

Now to the next part:

1. I'm not sure what Hael is known for other than being the quiet type. I've never thought to ask what other people think. (Perhaps I would get a lovely list such as this one? Full of snark, but "Not being mean", of course.)
2. They can just walk up to her and talk to her. She sometimes gets brave and goes looking for others herself.
3. I didn't know it was a requirement to post in the IC forums. There should be nothing wrong with someone wanting to post mostly in the OOC forums instead of the IC forums. And thank you for reminding me and all of UL that PIC cannot be brought IG.

Thank you for telling me what a bio is. I learned that in gradeschool, but thank you for the refresher. Perhaps I will sit down one day and write a biography for Hael. Lucky for me, I'll have a lot of free time starting next week to do so. C: But I guess, maybe, that being mysteriously quiet isn't working out for Hael. Thank you for you great suggestion of a bio.

I try not to get too involved with things right now because of my crazy work hours, but like I said in my last paragraph, I'll have more free time starting next week to really get involved. But I also remember doing some things. Hael was very involved in the Soul Shield thing Arnaya started. That was fun. With fire and all that. Good times.

This one you could just, you know... Ask Hael. She'll gladly answer.

I'm glad to you are feeling better. Several people were worried for you. But no, I'm not going to pretend you response didn't bother me. It was indeed written in a mean-spirited manner. Perhaps reading what you want to post aloud before submitting it will give you a better idea of how your tone will come across to others.

Hael and Dimitri do dream at separate times from time to time to help further their own story lines and character development. It's just not very frequent.

Your suggestion of a bio was useful and I will actually use this advice. Once again, thank you for that. And I just wanted to end a rumor that has been going on for a little bit that was brought to my attention just last night. That's all. The end. Get rest. Recover.

And if someone could please lock this thread that would be wonderful. Thank you.

I'm not sure what sort of drugs Lace and other people are on but I rather enjoy the Hael character. I'm not sure how someone would think she was driven by the same person as Dimitri (well, without huge props to the controller). Either way, I'd say keep up the good work and let the naysayers continue to shit in their own little ponds of crossover and muck.

Overall, I think the need for this post is silly but in the same way you did, I imagine.

Holy balls batman! And I though I was snarky. Clearly I gotta study through my snark bible a couple more times.

Where this came from; I was told by someone that someone else made.a snarky comment to the effect of 'they never talk at the same time... suspicious.' I mentioned to Hael that this might be the reason she feels left out. We both agreed this was assnine. I'm not calling anyone out, because for all I know the person who heard the comment may not be correctly attributing it or may have misunderstood the comment altogether and I'm a big believer in the proverb, 'never attribute to malice that which can be more easily explained by ignorance'.

There were a couple of people in SoT who had multiple characters at the same time, not sure how they had it, but it was pretty obvious (one is banned here). So, whatever... it was probably a dumbass, throwaway comment filtered through the telephone game a couple of times before it got to me. So, whatever. No big deal in the end and hopefully if what was 'heard' was actually what was 'said', whoever said it has now had their suspicions quashed.
