Skyline (An Original RP by MDSVeritas) Signups and Discussion

[Scrapmaster 1,731]

Honestly, Scrap, you're exelent. If you learned proper English, I would assume you would likely be better than myself, that's saying something.

 

you telling me my Engrish ain't good enuf?

 

I'l rekt you! m8 wear in me mum!

[Arya Stark 1,337]

Really and truly, we are all equally skilled.

But the truth really lies in the Tier ranks.

Me and Oblivion made the top three last month.

 

 

S RANK/shot

 

 

But really you're right, we're equally skilled just in different ways. Different strengths, different weaknesses.

 

Personally, I pride myself on constructing characters, but I think my post length and general writing needs some work. I need to be more descriptive.

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

 

SUSH YUFFIE I TRY. YOU AREN'T AS DESCRIPTIVE AS ME THOUGH.

 

 

Work together Oblivion.

Work

To

Get

Her

[Oblivion 22 162]

 

SUSH YUFFIE I TRY. YOU AREN'T AS DESCRIPTIVE AS ME THOUGH.

Work together Oblivion.WorkToGetHer

 

That was an ingenious play on words.

[Arya Stark 1,337]

That post deserved a like because of that wordplay even though you were threatening my standing.

[Wolf on the Run 391]

I go to one film award show and i come back to 40 plus notifications really guys

Also MDS waiting for a sign for Tristan to fight the Marauders without the fighting getting actually hostile 

[Sora's Baby 729]

Thanks you guys. I feel 10 percent more suck...

[Wolf on the Run 391]

Thanks you guys. I feel 10 percent more suck...

0_o huh i'm confused why do you feel 10% more suck way to you feel suck in the first place 

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

That post deserved a like because of that wordplay even though you were threatening my standing.

Finals are over, and I have my job secured, all is well in the world....

 

Now lets get back to how unwell everything is in the City.

Wicked awesome mate! So, what job did you get and what position?

[Javelin434 3,164]

*sigh* I'm getting tired of arguing... Basically the point I was trying to get at from the beginning, and according to what you have already said here:

makes you sounds just a little bit arrogant. You essentially said "Unless you're good at writing, your character can't possibly be better than mine."

Oi! Don't worry too much about it. If it gets out of hand, let us know.

 

He does have god-modding issues, so it's to be expected.

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

School is over for me yay.

[Silvia Kuroi 1,480]

Oi! Don't worry too much about it. If it gets out of hand, let us know.

 

He does have god-modding issues, so it's to be expected.

 

Soooooooooooooo I come back to see all of this

Hm

I'll let MDS address this if he needs to, but even from reading the things I've missed, I feel like I'm missing out on something, From what I can tell, ya'll need to seriously chill. We're here to have fun and roleplay, not argue over any of this. Excuse me if I'm wrong, but there was no need to make any unnecessary comments whatsoever about other people. We're here to have fun, not to argue over how people have their fun. If there is more of an issue about how someone is roleplaying/acting, please talk to me on Skype (if you have it) or any other mod.

 

Please guys, we're all friends here.

[Saber Lily 1,543]

Javelin, you're one of my best friends, but let it go. Just...let it go. I've just spent the last 4 hours or more cleaning my room, my bathroom, and still am not done. I come back to this.

 

So let it go.

 

 

 

 

 

And Riki, you're amazing at Combat RP. one of the best. But that's also a problem. You are so good you don't really let anyone else beat you, which is what comes off as God-modding.

 

 

IN MOTHER.FIIRETRUCKING. CONCLUSION.

 

 

 

 

Everyone just take a firetrucking chill pill and remember: Everyone else's fun matters too.

[Wolf on the Run 391]

looks to Tristan "So am i the only one who made a character to take the piss out of other characters"

[Scrapmaster 1,731]

Well, im kinda neutral, I am prone to grossly overpowered moves as well, but seriously, lets all chill and you know...hug it out

 

Except you Tristan, no one wants to hug you

 

 

But I do see riki's point, whn you take your time to perfect your character's abilities, and getting attached to them, its very hard to see them taking a beating, or losing, so much you become a tryhard pretty much, I can relate...

I'm sick too.

Wonderful.

[Wolf on the Run 391]

Tristan gets stabbed and blown up still gets after reason "The idiot never dies" 

[Scrapmaster 1,731]

*teaches tristan a lot of stuff, makes him a real genius*

 

*then kills him*

[Wolf on the Run 391]

*teaches tristan a lot of stuff, makes him a real genius*

 

*then kills him*

Still gets up "there's allot more to being an idiot then brains just look at Sheldon from big bang theory or Tristan he's just a completely lovable idiot"

[MDSVeritas 299]

So guys, I feel like this needs mentioning...

 

RPing is a collaboration. It's not a competition, it's not test of skills, it's a story that comes together when everyone contributes and is allowed to contribute. We have people from all different skill levels and all different background here, and we're all here to be part of an awesome story unfolding. Writing, and learning to write in more interesting and compelling ways is a wonderful skill or goal to have, but the fact is that not everyone is going to be quite on the same level as one another. The fact of the matter remains though, that we are telling a story together, and if differences in writing techniques, styles, or backgrounds causes issues where people feel that they can no longer contribute or that their contributions aren't being taken seriously that's not okay.

 

The general rule I carry for godmodding is to never allow your attack to fully connect with another player. It is thus your right as a player to decide when your character is hurt or not. Do not mistake, however, the fact that this also means it is your responsibility to make your character vulnerable. There are very few stories (I would contest there are none) that center around characters without flaws, without issues, or without weakness. If you want you character to be great, that greatness shouldn't just be in their skills; it should be in their depth and development as people. This requires, especially in the context of writing alongside over a dozen other people, that you let your character be hurt at times. I try to respect everyone's autonomy and let them decide when that pain truly comes though or when an attack fully connects, but if a player or players can't fully respect or tolerate the writings of those with whom they collaborate, that's not going to make it easy or fun for anyone to tell this story together. I know its unavoidable that we'll have some strife, but everyone's here to have fun guys, if we all give a little ground then we'll have a better time a group because of it.

 

Wicked awesome mate! So, what job did you get and what position?

I'm working as a software engineer at Cisco to build my programming skills, should be an entertaining summer.

 

EDIT:

 

Small note to make. Due to being off campus now, I've lost access to the image-editing software tool I used ot make the original map. I'll be remaking the map soon in another software, but that's why in case you all are wondering if the map doesn't update in the next few days.
