Oh god let's not start this debate. I've never seen, for example, a snail in game but if someone tried to pull me up on RPing that my character had a pet snail I'd sure as hell call them an idiot. We don't need all of the nouns handed to us on a platter for available use.


Cool so you wont mind me calling myself high queen of the british empire? Or Ceaser Ferlas? Its the same thing really.

Actually Ive got a better one,

British Prime Minister Ferlas
President Of the United States Ferlas
Taoiseach Ferlas


And if Raja is accetable then so are they.

If you are so sure, let's put it to the test. You put 'President of the United States' in your title, and Exarius can leave 'Raja'.

We'll see who is reprimanded by the admin first.

the difference being Raja just means prince, where 2 of your examples contain a geographical location that does not exist in lusternia, prime minister and president on their own would be acceptable I think.

Hell, for all we know Prime Minister and President could be real titles for a yet untried political structure/village count combination. ninja.gif

Generic things like raja, prince, lord, ect. are all quite fine. It's when you start getting specific that the line between OOC/IC gets crossed - fantasy worlds can contain many elements of our world, but the key is that they aren't our world. So president? Sure, but not of the United States.

Man, if Rajas ooc, then so is Princess! You know what that means...

CELEST IS OOC!!!!!!

Yeah. Just try it and see what happens.

Estarra knows exactly what I'm calling myself, and I haven't lost any credibility for it. I'm not going to lay odds President of the United States Ferlas would be able to say the same.

Well I don't think I need to qualify my statements against ferlas, enough of you have done that for me. Thanks! tongue.gif

How do I put this... While I definitely dig Murphy's rudeness in game, where it quite fits his role as a tainted hardass warrior, in a forum like this it just looks ridiculous.

But hey, whatever floats your boat. I'll agree it has lost alot of its flair though.

Now back to topic. *shoo*


I actually don't say it ALL that much, its all you damn imitators that bring it up all the time.

Now i need to go and find something else with which to tell you people to get a grip on reality!

And sometimes i'm rude on the forums sometimes im nice. Part of the entertaining condition known as bipolar disorder.

I know for a fact Shiro != Ferlas. I know her achaean
Shiri2006-06-02 03:35:40
I don't think Xavius was ACTUALLY saying Ferlas is Shiro, Murphy, just comparing them. :/

Except you're always nice to me. Thats mainly just because I know where you live and I have a copy of every single Nikki Webster song on cd and am willing to play it to torture you.

I've been missing
Your stawberry kisses
'Cos nothing's as sweet
The taste still drives me crazy
I've been wishing
My strawberry kisses
Could fly through the wind
To you from me

Damn, he's found the chink in my armour can a moderator please delete this thread.....and my assassins will be over to.....meet with you later asarnil

So...Murphy...can be defeated? I've been lied to this whole time? sad.gif Damn, have to find another person to admire.

Such is the sheer power of the Nikki Webster compilation CD.

So its a ok for me to call myself Taoiseach Ferlas? It just as ooc and stupid as raja is.
Iridiel2006-06-02 14:29:06
Ferlas. Please.

Let it go. Ok? Let it go.

I am pretty sure there was a dark bishop on a magnagoran guild somewhere, and then there's the Seneschal in Serenwilde and Queen of the Night who was actually a male. Exarius might be a good or bad RPer but if he's so bad there's surely more things than using Raja as title to throw against him. And it's getting old.

Now I think you're just grasping for straws. Might be good to stop while you're behind.
Daganev2006-06-02 18:27:33
The only OOCness would be if the term Raja was in regards to the Achaean Rajamalan... which it isn't... so its fine.
