Scarab Pyramid

the ghouls would want it for 3 reasons...

1) as previously stated, they like gems...
2) to stop others from being healed...
3) so if they take damage, they have a chance of being healed

guys this portal was warned before entering, the results would be unpredictable.

First I discussed and got an ok from Syrinia about this portal thing. I asked if we could have an unknown outcome that OI would determine. She agreed only for this event.

I have many neat things planned some good, some bad. One thing, noone will die from the portal. where and what powers, energies etc will occur in a fun and maybe harmful but not deadly way...

I ask, if you go on an adventure to universal or any other theme park type place... and there is a new ride, adventure within it, do you decide how it affects you?

Only this one small part of a huge whole is my direction, after that it is each person back to normal rpping from that point on.

I have played many rp games, from text based multiplayer adventures, ie gemstone, dragonsgate, and more to graphic ones, and although I can control what I do in most happenings, when dealing with an unknown unplanned adventure, ie entering a portal, going on a quest, I never gain full control of the character i play. other people have partial control over my character.

This one scene is mine, another will be yours, I will accept whatever you choose as long as it doesnt kill me in the one each of you direct.

(I feel it necessary to say I am not writing this to provoke argument about this incident, but to explain why godding should be avoided in general.)

Except, as clearly stated on my CS, my characters powers do not work while unconscious. As far as i know, your shooting him unconscious into the desert, an environment approximately 60 degrees hotter than his stable body temperature, cutting him off from his only way of cooling himself, and stopping anyone else from helping him. Effectively, you are killing him. And even then, you are taking my character out of play without my consent.

I do not care how powerful a character is, you can be the god of all life and death for all I care. But you cannot determine someone else's actions.I will dodge an attack i do not want to hit me. The idea of rping with other people is developing the story together, and using others to develop your own character. There is no leader determining what happens, that's why it's fun. Sure, I let you handle the portal and where it dumps me, but that does not mean you can control Aurus.

You are not supposed to control other characters in an rp because you do not know their character or the players plans. I actually have a much longer (About 2-3 pages longer) CS that i am keeping hidden that has full explanations of all my future abilities, all my undiscovered weaknesses, and all of my history. That way my character can grow and develop, and people can actually learn new things about him. For example, you aren't supposed to know about Aurus' cold body temperature, I was waiting to bring it up when somebody made contact with his body in game, and maybe even allow others to make use of it in the desert.

All of this could have been avoided if you had just suggested that the portal knock us unconscious. I would deem it unnecessary, as the desert environment would keep me immobile in my weakened state until I recovered, and invent some reason to not be knocked out. That is the main reason I'm protesting. When I can't play my own character it is no longer mine, and no longer fun. Even if it seems minor to you, you do not know all the details, which is why godding other characters often causes so much drama.

I'm sorry to cause such a fuss about this, but developing my character and interacting with the story are my favorite parts of RPing, and any form of godding without permission can easily ruin this.

I agree with not controling other players, I do not find that right and people should be able to control what their characters do. That I totally agree on, and I don't see why you people are making such a huge deal out of this. Why can't we stop god-moding and controling others and just play?

Alright guys, something more I have in mind for close to the ending of this thread. Once we do reach the gem, what about if the ghouls appear at the same time and try to snatch it from us, causing Syrinia to enter her rage mode and get out of control. She would defeat most of the ghouls and then turn on everyone else, but she would snap out of it before she caused anyone harm.

I've been thinking up a way for Syrinia to finally spill out her secret about being half-demon, as Night is the only one that knows, this seems like the perfect chance, and everyone would finally know. So yeah, what do you guys think?
