Multi-limbs and portals

[Arenti]

BarbaricAvatar, not being a prick, BUT please post the rule that says people CAN'T have more then 2 legs, etc.

I'd like to see the rule, is all.

Cause what about "birth defects" or people without limbs at all. I REALLY wanna see the rule.

And seeing a "man" doesn't mean you don't see a "man with 6 arms". He's still a man... just a funny looking one.

Hmmm.... Well show me a picture. A REAL one, of a person with 6 arms and that many legs and two mouths or something close to that.

Arenti, it's not a matter of "RL" and Cantr ISN'T RL.

This is where people seem to have a problem and train of thought that people want to follow stops at a certain point. You can't really want an RP environment, as most of you seem to want, and add limitations based on RL that the game doesn't have. (Set rules/whatever)

Not to mention that it limits RP, as you all complain not enough is gotten. If I spawn a character with a few extra arms I 100% honestly see no problem with that as there is not rule, that I know of, that says I can not. (Which is why I asked Barbaric to post said rule... or any PD member. From site, if you could.)

Robots, I sorta understand. However any other humanoid creature isn't ACTUALLY against game rules, that I know of. The behavior of "Cantr purity" should be left in game. Not to mention that just because Cantr is "similar to earth" doesn't mean such creatures don't exist on our own planet.

Broken down, I wanna see the rule of what is or isn't "okay" on this manner... and I'd like to see it ASAP.

(split or move topic? O.o)

I personally don't have a problem with someone having 8 arms, 2 mouths and a few extra legs if they want to play it. Does not mean in game I will acknowledge it though. And no one has to, He may "believe" himself to have all those extra limbs, My character sees a plain man and I rp it as such. His appearance not bothering my character in the least. However, we have people in real life all the time that have been born with extra limbs, (while I agree 8 is probably too much lol) or how about switching it around, what if the character had no arms. There's not a problem with this.

What I DID have a problem with in this instance is not that the character believes himself to be going through these portals and speaking to the dead but that the player through his rp is trying to "force" us to see it as well.

"You see a portal", "You see a man step through a hole in the air".."You see the man disappear" "You see the man return through another hold where there was nothing there before"

This is forcing others to "see" what his character "believes" when it is not something that exists in the game and that is the problem here. Along with (in my opinion) Knowledge this character had that there isn't any way he should have.

[Voltenion]

I think the rule is somewhere around these lines:

It's not wrong to RP a six armed guy, because that's original and could develop an interesting RP experience. But elves and robots are a CRB, because it's based off of OOC mythologies and it's too unoriginal (And, like Dudel said, robots aren't exactly humans).


Somewhere around that, at least...


EDIT:

He may "believe" himself to have all those extra limbs, My character sees a plain man and I rp it as such.

He also made the characters around him see he had six arms. So, your character would not see a plain man, he would be forced to see what the other player emoted. And that is that a man can have six arms. Now, if that's wrong? Someone from the PD should really answer us here, please.

[Dudel]

rconley, not "arguing" the "magic". My worry is this "people can't have 6 arms, thing"... and he's still forcing you to see his six arms. You CAN choose to ignore it, must like the mosquitoes and crickets but the other player is saying, "This character has six legs (/end story)".

So you can't actually ignore it. O.o


OOOOOOOOR as Voltenion, said.

[Arenti]

I think most people will just not rp with him. And I doubt he will have a long life.

...which is very sad and says not cool things about the player community.

Don't get me wrong I really don't mind if people rp strange things. Like a while ago someone role played a char that thinks she is an animal. I had no problem with that. But yes I agree that in many situations people role playing different then most, usually don't live long because they are different. I also would not kill the char that rp having extra arms and legs. I would just ignore it.

This is usually the case. I'm surprised he's still living - Cantrians are often very primitive when it comes to dealing with anything too different.


Ditto what Voltenion said. By describing your char as having green eyes, you force people to view your char with that image. I have no problem with someone RPing an extra limb, missing limb, etc....as long as it doesn't border on ridiculous.

[Voltenion]

Mate, that really sucks. I would kill him, probably. Ignoring him means no interaction and that means nothing interesting would happen and people would yet again feel Cantr is just another boring game. I would kill him, imprison him (do that circus things someone said here, it would be funny), everything except ignoring him.

He is different! Same thing happens with gays, in a town where every men like women and every women like men, a gay couple comes along and suddenly everyone goes like "Ok, you're free to chose" and all of that. By what were those cantrians illuminated to understand that couple doesn't suffer from a disease or something like that?
I went a little off topic, sorry.

Sorry to disappoint you. Anyway no one really had a chance to rp with him.

[Dudel]

I STILL want to see PD's stand on this.

Me too.

Patience.

I had wanted to create a race of people. Not all mine however. Just to see what happens. The char could have a different color of skin, different shaped ears; things of that nature. I don't see a problem with this. Even if the race took on a close liking to something like an elf, but not exact, as long as the char didn't call himself an elf, I again see no prob. It's hard to think that everyone in Cantr has the same color of skin.
However to RP a robot? I think that is a bit far. And same with portals. Could a char have certain powers such as a higher speed? I'd say ok, but it would be hard to RP since travel time between towns would be the same.

As for having extra limb's I don't see why not, but wouldn't like to see someone get carried away. But to RP that someone has 3 arms instead of the customary 2, I think would be fun to RP. There was a time, a real long time ago, where I'd rp'd a char who had lost his arm in a battle. No one had a problem with it.
