That's the ironic thing, I don't. The only thing I -might- have had that was really cool was the psi rod, which I had for a total of three hours.

And ONE MORE THING Syndal - that faction and mine are not currently at war.

Should be a cap limit on how much exp you can gain in a single day. That way all the power leveling stops.

It is welllll within the bounds of RP that someone would want to essentially mug you for something valuable enough to them... especially if you're dealing with evil characters, and you are a good one (is that the implication?) Even if it can be OOCly motivated to a certain degree you have to accept that it can happen, and that it's legitimate. As we're speaking about one situation with one character... I'd say you don't have too much to complain about.

Buy a pet, stay second row, have WoR vials. You will live a long and healthy life.

If it isn't in your character's nature to fight, then don't. Running is perfectly feasible and possible in the SK world too!

You had the water essence stuff and lots of people want that. I am still trying to figure out how you think I am going to get a Delf necromancer to give you his mortal enemy her clothes back so you can match! :-?

You folks are silly... :cry:

You two are apparently scared to do anything. I think which "two" I mean should be fairly obvious.

I got PKed (minimal roleplay, but I understood why) and even though there wasn't much roleplay with my attacker, there has been TONS of roleplay spawned because of the PK. That one death helped me better define my character than any amount of fountain chit-chat.

If you have anything approaching decent stuff, then you're going to get killed for it. If you don't, expect that you'll get killed anyway, but only half as often. Take it as an expected thing. When you're feeling safe in your well guarded town, remember that the Terminator took out an entire police station.

There's this odd dichotomy, like people think that PK and roleplay are separate entities. At minimum, PK gives you the chance to speak to a priest, to talk to them about their religion, to form an ongoing friendship there. It gives you someone to dislike/hate, it gives you something to talk to people about, something in common (yeah, I hate that necromancer too!). Nothing cements friendship better than common enemies and shared experiences.

Fountain roleplay is great, but PK roleplay is great too. If ALL you do is sit around the Inn all day, what will you have to talk about?

I built a char that pretty much did just that, with a bit of important stuff on the side. I had a blast and the inn was hopping anytime I was on.

I had this 7-paragraph analysis written up but chose to get rid of it. Which side of your brain you live in will determine whether you are beauty-oriented (rp) or goal-oriented (pk and power). If you're goal-oriented, the likelihood is high that your RL alignment will determine how much beauty you force-feed yourself.

I do have to say "roleplay" as a creature on SK is a mere shell of its former self. I agree positive reinforcement is more desirable than negative reinforcement but the negative is rarely seen while definitely necessary.

People have been saying RP is dead continously for the 5+ years I've been playing.

Let me explain something to a few of you folks that like to cry when you die and get looted(Or just send whiny OOC tells a lot, for no reason. *cough*Tariel*cough* I really love the tells about my RP from "Miss Sit Around and do Absolutely Nothing"). Tariel, wear glistening armor and use a tanso flamberge. If you're not going to PK, what do you need addy/diamond for? To look pretty? Well that comes with an increased risk of you getting ganked/looted. Faerti? Yeah, you don't need water/energy armor and stuff. Wear some store bought cloth, and don't carry any magical tools, other than flight staves sold in Exile/Sith'a'niel.

If you're just going to sit around talking, what do you need good equipment for anyways? (Especially since it's apparently so easy to take from you folks.)

Jennbo, while someone is using a certain cabal spell, you get the quiet mode message if you try to send tells to that person. And just because YOU "say" your character don't see light or dark(Sure does help the Peacekeepers and co. a lot) doesn't mean EVERYONE ELSE has to think the same way as you.

~~~~~~~

Okay, let me explain this. Say on a scale of 1-10 (1 being low, 10 being high) someone has a 3 for motivation to kill you. If you have ANYTHING, EVEN ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT worth taking, that number just jumped to like a 15.

~~~~~~~

Not trying to be bitchy, that's just the way the game is.
