Seven or so hours of work to get this far. I manage to assemble a group of people. It's time to go down and finish this finally.

Oh, wait, sorry, there's no such thing as roleplaying here, let's go kill Guido and everyone who wants to help him finish all his work. Including Celestians. And Serenwilders. Whatever.

Thanks a whole censor.gif lot.

Bye. Oh, and for the curious.

If you looked at the characteristics of the Loboshigaru race, you'd see we disapprove of outsiders. That means we disapprove of outsiders being enlightened by our masters. Watch who you accuse of bad roleplay Guido, cause to me this thread reeks of your personal loss, rather than any logical complaint about roleplay.
Unknown2005-01-15 02:26:49
Wait; those masters are your SUPERIORS, Amaru. Your SUPERIOR deemed me fine to take on the challenge. Looks like you betrayed your race! Whoops!
Unknown2005-01-15 02:28:52
Dude, don't leave. You're one of the more interesting characters in the realm. You just play a really obtrusive role that gets you killed a lot...I mean, you have to expect that when you are making plans to stake people and burn down a sacred tree tongue.gif
Asarnil2005-01-15 02:30:17
Guido you know you could have paraphrased that to "Celestians acting like complete and utter asses again with no RP reason whatsoever".
Hazar2005-01-15 02:30:43
So, Amaru, you just get to attack him, just because he's a non-loboshigaru in the Tosha Pits?

Such -brilliant- roleplay. Surely, you must be held up to newbies as an example of roleplaying transcendance.

They deemed you fine to take on the challenge, and I proved you unworthy. What's your point?
Unknown2005-01-15 02:32:03
I'm really sorry just from looking at that, Guido. Who the hell comes and hunts you while you're doing a time-consuming quest? You've died countless times ever since you left the Seren, and though you've also hunted to deserve some of those deaths I don't think that was necessary. I think sometimes enough is enough, and you've really been abused. Yes, for those of you reading, I'm saying this despite those that you killed. Anyone would want revenge, and Guido's character is no exception (Yes, I also realize he dug his own grave).

And Amaru, if the MASTER if the Monastery deemed them worthy.. then I seriously don't think you have a say in the matter. You might as well slay the monastery monks for their decision. It looked like an excuse for a kill to me. Elaria and Ethelon aren't Loboshigaru either.. so what's up?

Refer you to my previous post.
Shamarah2005-01-15 02:34:40
I've got to apologize about my role in that; Amaru was screaming "everyone follow, we need to go kill Guido and co". I asked several times what was going on, but apparently he felt that he didn't need to respond. I followed anyway, figuring that you were doing some sort of taint-empowering quest and there was a valid reason to kill you; should have known better, really. If I had known all you were doing was the monastery quest, I'd never have come.
Hazar2005-01-15 02:35:04
Your previous post doesn't explain how Elaria and Ethelon are suddenly Loboshigaru. Or did you kill them after Guido & Co.?
Asarnil2005-01-15 02:35:51
Oh but you see, they are 1/16th Loboshigaru on their mothers side, and that smidgeon of Lobo blood in their veins, plus their being friends with Amaru makes them honorary Lobos which gives them the right to kill anyone that doesn't have a chance against them over and over and over just for looking in the direction of the monastary.

ITS ALL RP AND STUFF! YEAH
Hazar2005-01-15 02:37:31
Ah, I see.
Unknown2005-01-15 02:39:42
Hmph. I take offence to that. 'That' being that all Celestians act with disregard to RP.

Haha, I actually had no idea why I was there.

Now Et's gone all crazy-like.
Unknown2005-01-15 02:43:04
Sorry, I wrote my post prior to the others jumping on the wagon.

Either way, you had no say in that. That's like saying "Well, Estarra gave the humans life, but I just don't think they have any reason to live," and then slaughtering them. Had he provoked you in any other way.. or better yet, had you given a reasonable reply that didn't scream "I just wanted to kill Guido and company" then I'd understand. There aren't enough Celestians left for me to assume it wasn't roleplay.. so I won't put you down that much, but that's just wrong.

The quest itself takes a long time to complete to get to that part, especially if you're being hunted prior to, since the things are being hunted by regular bashers as well as those who want to complete it. That's like someone beating up dolphins, the squid that help light up your little dome, or even killing a Supernal to disable some of your powers: Annoying, and ruining an effort (Whether it be learning lessons or questing) that personally affects you and those that take the consequences as well.

Plus your combat background doesn't help your case any. You've been killing people all day. I'm not inclined to believe your story.
Unknown2005-01-15 02:44:47
I think I saw you heading into the monastery >.< Normally I would enjoy viewing these type of things because my character just dislikes opposers of Celest, but this...I'm sorry to see (and embarrased for the rash actions)... saw you working on the quest yesterday actually. Must be very frustrating, words can't compensate for it.
sad.gif
Hazar2005-01-15 02:44:50
No, but, you see, Amaru has contracted a rare form of loboshigaru past-association bloodlust, where he sociopathically pursues and slays any being he remembers being in combat with.
Estarra2005-01-15 02:46:45
As a third party who really doesn't know what went on, I could see how a lone loboshigaru might take offense at those in the "lobo" area for RP reasons. However, it strikes me as odd that such a person would assemble a group of attackers who included non-lobos among them. There could be some interesting RP here, if he used city resources (CT) or even friendships in pursuit of a racial vendetta that has nothing to do with either, creating a backlash against him (does his city or his friends really want to be dragged into a lobo racial conflict). It'd be more interesting if there actually was such a group of lobo players from all over who attempted to keep the monastery 'pure'. Anyway, all I'm saying, is that perhaps the individuals involved might consider RPing the repercussions out in-game rather on the forums.
Hazar2005-01-15 02:48:29
What I find telling, though, is the sounds of 'We're going to go kill Guido & Co,' on Celest-Talk, and then the post-mortem "Well, he was in Lobo-land."
Fain2005-01-15 02:53:02
I'm curious Guido, have you ever looked at the Affliction List thread that Ethelon made some time ago in Combat? I'm surprised more people dont seem to take advantage of that *huge* resource for in game fighting. Especially if you have zmud or mushclient.. its all there for you. Sure, it's just a simple system, but its alot better than nothing at all.
