Lasky: Oh, Hi I'm an Rp'er I'm so serious I can't take a ****, I must call Emo out on every single goddamn post he makes. To hell with the fact that he's inexperienced.

And how is not pointing out your mistakes going to help you?

You reposted something that happened literally one page ago. I told you that was not okay, and was not necessary, so that incidents like that wouldn't happen in the future.

Edit: Oh I see you edited your post while I was typing that. Never mind, I still know what you originally wrote. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

I'm just losing my marbles here. I'm sorry that I'm being a ****. I'll just shut up now, because you really don't deserve this abuse

I'll let it go this once, since it's late at night and you've been criticized a lot which can get frustrating. I don't mean anything bad by criticizing you, I don't really want to criticize you, and I'm sorry that you're offended by it.

If there's anything about Roleplaying that you're still unsure about, please ask now. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Anyways, there was something I was going to say earlier but it slipped my mind.

You can still have Osgalethe at the meeting. Just make a post that says something along the lines of: "He was here this entire time but had remained quiet for most of the meeting. Now he spoke up." Alternatively, you could send a diplomat to Daralt to discuss an alliance with the Sorusian Empire (without Sorus inviting them in advance), or I could send one to you.

I think I got Godmodding down, but what about powerplaying and Autohitting? What are those exactly?

Powerplaying is just making a character that is too powerful compared to other characters.

Example: I make a roleplay about a bunch of medieval knights practicing fighting.

CaptLasky makes a big, strong guy but he's kinda slow and is an inexperienced fighter.

Inferi makes a fast, skilled guy, but he's also pretty strong, just not as strong as CaptLasky's character.

Westenev makes a guy who can fly at lightspeed, shoot lasers from his eye, talk to whales and can breathe plasma.


Westenev is powerplaying. His opponents do not have any chance against his overpowered character.

Post explaining autohitting inbound. Ramsay Bolton is the king we deserve.

Autohitting means damaging another character without allowing them to avoid damage.

Example of autohitting:

Roleplayer A is controlling Jeff against Roleplayer B who is controlling Steve.

RPer A: "Jeff approaches Steve."

RPer B: "Steve pulls out a sword."

RPer A: "Jeff pulls out a huge warhammer and bashes Steve's face in."


Roleplayer A just autohitted Steve. He automatically damaged him without giving Roleplayer B a chance to explain how Steve can defend himself.

Here's a more fair fight:
RPer A: "Jeff approaches Steve."

RPer B: "Steve pulls out a sword."

RPer A: "Jeff pulls out a huge warhammer and swings it at Steve's head trying to bash his face in."

RPer B: "Steve sees the attack coming because it takes time to swing such a heavy hammer. He ducks under the swing and throws a punch at Jeff's stomach."

RPer A: "Jeff couldn't see the punch because he was swinging a hammer, so he gets hit by the punch, but he has really hard abs so it doesn't hurt too much." Ramsay Bolton is the king we deserve.

Autohitting is mostly important against other Players' characters. Against non-player characters, its usually less strict.

Generally, the Thread Owner sends hordes of random scrubs or easy to kill monsters against the Roleplayers. The Roleplayers, being the "heroes" (or villains sometimes) are usually very strong compare to their enemies. So Player-controlled characters can usually kill non-Player controlled characters very easily.

Thread master: "Suddenly, a bunch of roaches appear!"
CaptLasky: "Joric Ironfist is a huge armored badass so he crushes these bugs easily."

Sometimes the Thread master sends more challenging foes. He/she should say that they are harder opponents and cannot be autohitted, much like a player character.

Thread master: "Suddenly, a highly skilled mercenary appears!"
CaptLasky: "Joric Ironfist is a huge armored badass but this guy looks pretty tough. Joric swings his axe at the mercenary's arm."
Thread master: "The mercenary jumps out of the way and tries to kick Joric in the chest."
CaptLasky: "Joric is wearing armor so the kick doesn't hurt much, and he manages to not get knocked back. Joric swings his axe at the mercenary's head this time."
Thread master: "The mercenary is too slow and his head gets cut off." Ramsay Bolton is the king we deserve.

I kind of feel like making an extremely gory, gruesome, depressing post-apocalyptic thread, but the thought of putting effort into something that will disappear in short order prevents me from writing it.

This place seems to be lacking in modern/post-modern stuff, slightly, though. Maybe it could fill a niche.

Sounds like something Az*garath the guy whose name is censored would be interested in. Ramsay Bolton is the king we deserve.
