The examples of a CRB and nonCRB are correct, according to my understanding.

The general rule on RP is that although RP often includes things not explicitly coded, there is a grey area where that RP doesn't affect anyone.

If someone swims where there is water, that's ok, but if they try to drown someone using * * style actions, that's not.

So I can fly as long as I don't fly into anybody!

Now you're being pedantic - that's my job dammit!

You gave the examples of right and wrong, I said that was the right idea and added a bit of an explanation of the grey area RP that is tolerated. Together they form a loose rule, I guess.

To further clarify.... :roll:

If you can't do it in real life you definately can't do it in Cantr, with the exception being examples of game coded unrealism.

Sorry this is just silly and it should stop here... but I do think there are some funny boundaries and going back to the original point if a new player sees people wrestling, swimming, having fishing contests, singing, dancing, they might after reading the page think they can fly...

It should be written up somewhere, but I've already written one IC essay today, and I'm not wiki literate, so I don't feel up to writing another OOC piece.

Except... what you listed, Phalynx, is all stuff that you could really do in RL. And flying you can't unless you have a plane or some such, which they don't have. Though, in RL, some people think they can and jump off buildings...

Theoretically, one could RP jumping off a building...


"Hey guys, look I can fly!"
"*jumps off the top of The Bank*"
You see Idiot Nubi awkwardly hurt Idiot Nubi.
"Outch, I must not have had enough lift."

or if he missed, "I guess I'm lucky I didn;t get hurt."

Yes, I know... :)

I was more referring to technical flying as not being able to be done without a plane.. the, "Hey look, I'm flying! *flies around like a bird* Haha, you can't get me! *throws some rocks at people walking underneath him* Hey, wait.. what are you doing? Don't look up my loincloth! *quickly flies back down to the ground*"

*lightning crashes dramatically as she swoops down into the thread, neatly folds her wings, and points the talons of her third hand at Phalynx, throwing a fireball and incinerating him instantly*

No, it wasn't nice. :) Sorry I had to kill him, but it was just a demonstration of the huge, obvious difference between, "Phalynx, if you don't stop pretending like you're missing the point just so you can argue more on the forums I'm going to use my magic dragon powers to throw a fireball at you." and *throws a fireball at Phaylnx*

Hehehe. You'd better take his word into account, Phalynx. Smoked Nâzgul must taste bad.
