Can we have something for the athletics skillgroup? an example is with headslam, can we have it as:

You take (target)'s head between your hands and abruptly slam your forehead against (his/hers).

barge:

You turn to face (target) as you slam your shoulder into their chest, a sense of shock falling from their body as they fly (direction).

(whoever) faces you as they slam their shoulder into your chest, a sense of shock falling from your face as you fly (direction).

resistance:

Your body shakes and grows a purplish hue as your fortify yourself with magical resistance.

Vitality:

You close your eyes for a moment and then feel vitality coursing through your body, causing you to shout out in ecstasy.

Breathe deep:

You stop where you are as you take on a medative pose, intaking your own karma to help you pursue your athletical behaviors for the coming day.

Can people list some more?

I'm missing what's wrong with the current messages, I think.

it isn't what is wrong, but what can be added to increase the rp potential... when you duel for example, would it be better if you get 5 different responses for actions you can do? Wouldn't that seem more realistic than you jab jake, you jab jake, jake jabs you, jake razes you...

right?

Huh?

The messages for attacks and defenses are already very detailed and so much more interesting to follow than many other games of this type. Why use a paragraph where a simple phrase would suffice, though?

(Side note: is 'athletical' even a real word? I don't think so.)

Strength:

You close your eyes in a brief meditation before veins begin to flicker underneath your eyelid and through your body, bolting you upright and forcing you to call out in a roar.

Doors:

You step back against the door and complemate it for a moment, before you slam against it in an effort to barge through.

Immunity:

You look over to a snake tattoo over your back and give it a rub, as it sparkles everescently with a glowing power.

...I still don't see the point of this even after you explained it.

If you want varied messages, everyone with a system will kill you since they'll have to update for them.

You heartstop of your own free will... Why would you ask for assisstance? Anyway, I love the one right now.

So the cost to a better rp is laziness? meh... and if we have multiple possiblities, perhaps, it would be better.... Can we have a divine say in this?

I have an idea, let's make guides kill-able.

Tenebrae confuses me sometimes.

I feel your pain Ceres.

ack... I have an idea richter, but it may be a bit unorthodox... maybe, i don't know, but maybe, you can think outside of the box for a second, and look at the overall picture? Because if you find a news article in your old commune saying in short, "Who wants to be a guide?" and then find out that you will be divine for a while, you will begin to wonder, why? How the hell are we going to be able to cover this, that we are to become gods and back, and we won't be able to show others our immense might perhaps... We are gods. and we want to prove to the world that we are... So that any newbies that look up to the divines and the guides and really realize how insignificant they are... That is roleplaying.

And Ceres, can you tell me when I don't confuse you? Because then I could actually congratulate myself for once knowing that I have finally found someone who understands what I am going for.

I have no idea what you just said.

Well, I think that he meant following:
That the guides really are characters like Murphy, Daevos, Brylle, Nejii etc. and that they only sit there at the portals for a short time and then they leave their semi-godhood and become the normal Ravenous Spindle or Page Bobbins and so on again.

And thus should be exempt from any RPing attempts to/with them.

Guides are not Divine, despite what some of them may think. Check their honors, and you'll find that they are all normal races, and they are also not in the realms for roleplaying. Skein shouting that the mortals should be quiet the other day really peeved me.

Let's change their race then? *shrug*
