Achaea's Forums > Eyebrow Raising / Good Manners ?

Faithia

Apr 16 2009, 05:07 PM

I was not angry, but something made me raise my eyebrow in question the other day. Granted, I am a newbie in these lands and my beloved little Faithia is but a sweet and tender age of 18, but how people role play confuses me sometimes.

I was sitting in Hashan minding my own business when a guy, who shall remain nameless as I have forgotten his name, came up to me. He didn't even say "Hello", just walked on up to me a young girl minding her own business and said "Question. Why are you wearing those socks with knee-high boots?". I did a quick HONOURS on him and he was a Hashani Elder of sorts, but I ignored his rudeness all the same. He emoted something blunt and walked away. Now, my character has thin legs meaning she gets cold easily, hence the socks.

Guys, would you walk up to a 18 year old girl and ask her to justify her wardrobe? Is that not a bit shiverworthy ?

I didn't want to piss off someone in a position of power, but it did make me stop and think over what I wanted Faithia to do. I also had 2 glasses of wine after work that day, so I came close to letting loose a tirade.

Do people really think they can behave how the like just because they are over 100 years old?

Haha, you were saying how much you enjoyed this game?

Welcome to achaea luv, you will find that your so called precious RP..does not live here. Just be lucky he didn't ask for mudsex.

And the answer to your question is yes people do think they can behave like that because they are 100 years old

lmaoHashan, etc.

Honestly, maybe it's part of his RP to be the fashion police. Maybe he's horribly socially inept (IC and/or OOC) and just wanted to strike up a conversation.

I've found that if you go into interaction with other people expecting the best, and ready to get the most out of it, you get more out of things, even if not exactly what you wanted.

And I'll echo: be glad you didn't get propositioned for mudsex by said raindom stranger.

Forum_Anon - have some balls and log into your real forum account. This thread does not need your sour apples. I was not angry, as I stated. It made me smile a little later on actually. He must have been a little annoyed that I blanked him.

I spend a lot of time working in Tokyo and I am in contact with that creepy part of the social sphere when I travel alone on the subways. I just wondered if other people perceive it the way I do.

But true, his RP might just be to be the fashion-police. I am still working on Faithia's character, but I just wondered if I played out her bitchy side (or what I would have done in real life - i.e. slap him), would there be consequences for her? Could he have played his political hand with the city's powers that be?

I am just trying to get a handle on how the social / political worlds work.

Yeah I am realising this bit by bit. It is good to be put in situations that challenge my grip over my character - even if the person is not actually role playing. Hehe. But, at the same time, I think I should also learn to bite my lip due to my newbie status.

Ok, this bolded part. if you really want your character to have a bitchy side why would you hold it back. This is actually coming from someone who's played this game. Don't hold back on what you want your character to behave like. If she has a nasty side show it. My characters once I decided what they would be like didn't waiver whether he was talking to a 18 year old plebian or Tyrannuss Dragon.

Now I'll stand by what I said as anything can get you screwed in this game, don't go screwing yourself and holding back on your RP if you really want to try and RP in the game you can't let anything hold you back else Everything will hold you back .

Like most people've said to new players in Achaea, the forums ruin the game, generally. Newbie or not, you're a source of possible roleplay, and that's always a good thing. Just stick with whatever roll you choose, don't veer off unless it makes sense, ( or doesn't, depending on the mindset of your character ), and be proud of any little thing you get into. Who cares what anyone else thinks of your character? She's -your- character. Mind you, if you want to have a "hidden" side to your character, with true goals and true intentions and mislead everyone, still, that's your decision, but for every action, there will be a reaction, and so on.

It can be fun, it can be tedious, but always remember that Achaea is a game.

Despite my dislike for him, I can't even say he reminds me of Peneon. Peneon purposely acted stupid. I don't even know what to think of this one yet. Plus, he hasn't mentioned any sort of conspiracy yet, so, I doubt he's Peneon.

I'm not the only person who thought this? That's good.

Also, be a bitch. Let things get out of your control. The nice thing about Achaea is that it's not real, and you can let things develop in a way that just might screw you over, but as long as you don't invest too much emotion/money, you won't feel any real loss.

Faithia

Apr 16 2009, 07:39 PM

Well, Faithia is a really nice person I think, but she is full of ambition and is very proud of where she comes from. She has to fight against stereotypes of Sirens with every conversation she has. I guess that I don't have 'Bitch' planned for her, just a girl with a good sense of herself.

Picking up on the financial investments and character power etc....I think I can summarise where I stand on this. I use Achaea (and WoW before it) as a medium to fuel my fantasies. My fantasies are about me (yes I am that selfish), the history that surrounds Faithia and what goes on in my the depths of my imagination. I have no intention in competing against other players in the months (years?) to come, as a) I don't have the money b) Faithia is pretty much a hermit outside of her best friends and house/political circles. She keeps herself to herself and doesn't care about what other people think of her. I guess that is the perspective I was coming from.

I love these forums. I guess some newbies that come along might be a bit wet behind the ears, but I have put up with running a WoW guild for 3 years. I know this is entirely different, but running a guild is running a guild: blood, sweat and tears. My skin thickened a long time ago. I just want to make sure I am going about things the right way from the outset. Of course, there is always going to be people b***ing left right and centre, but I am quite confident with what I want from the game. I am amused to see what people whine about here.

I ain't going anywhere folks. Sawwy!

I didn't really think that happened for the longest time. Maybe it's because Adalie's a Dwarf or something, but that never happened to me. Then I made an alt just to play with to get away from responsibilities on Ada from time to time. I didn't do much with her for a while, so she ended up being 30-something and still unranked, and I would get the most random tells from people for mudsex. Sometimes there'd be some pathetic RP in there, but half the time there wasn't even that. I guess Tsol'aa are hot? If they actually LOOKed at my character, they'd probably change their minds about wanting in her e-pants.

Anyway, back to the OP, maybe that person has some RP reason for being so weird ... or maybe they're just a -. Don't let Anon convince you that Achaea is crap and that you can't usually enjoy it without being bothered with weird interactions like this. The more people you meet the easier it is to surround yourself with those who also enjoy the roleplay side of things.

Tis the same on all game forums though. I think the whining is of better calibre than the average WoW community forum though.

Apr 16 2009, 08:08 PM

If you have played WoW for that long you are probably used to the idea that at least half the people you are playing with are at best, immature but well-meaning teenagers, and at worst, social misfits of all ages. There are a lot of great people who play this game, but you can't make assumptions about anybody, no matter how old or well-known they are in-game.

Since you're playing a youngster right now you're likely to encounter the opposite end of that. Lots of people who have played for awhile fall into the stupid rut of thinking that no 20-year-old can possibly have anything enriching to add to their game experience, and they're likely to dismiss your roleplay out of hand.

Basically I would say just keep doing what you're doing and roleplay what you want, and keep an eye out for the people (no matter their in-game age) who do interesting things and who appreciate what you put into your character. Try not to let people's oddities or sex-crazed rudeness bother you ooc, just tell yourself that they are probably maladjusted 13 year olds who can't help themselves.

I'm not certain why you interpreted this as rude. I wouldn't have. I don't necessarily think he was trying to get you to justify your wardrobe. Maybe its a pet peeve of his? Maybe he was the original designer of either the socks and/or boots? Maybe, maybe. If he actually took the time to look at you, note what you were wearing, and talk to you... wouldn't that indicate he was maybe trying to strike up a conversation? Couldn't you have just said... "Because I get cold easily. Why are you wearing that stupid hat?"

It makes me sad that in the same day, stuff like this gets posted, & then there's a counter-topic of 'ZOMG RP IS DEAD'. It isn't -dead-, it just requires effort sometimes. And some people are quirky, choose to start in off in a different vein. I say encourage it, and respond, rather than just be silent.

All of this is true, but as I said, I am just unsure how to act when in character at present. You have all your scenarios down for your character. I do not. I was just probing to see what perspective I should take. I just wanted to have a discussion on it. I didn't mean to say that said person was a poor role player. I want to make a good home for myself in the city, so I just wanted to be be sure if speaking out like you said is appropriate.

I have no frame of reference you see. Thanks for your advice though.

And if I was faced with the same situation again no doubt, I would be a lot more proactive. I have gotten some good meat from this thread.

EDIT: Reading back at my OP I guess it does sound kind of sour in tone, but wasn't intentional really.

Apr 16 2009, 08:26 PM

Well, as far as character development, we all went through it when we first started out. When I made Tart, I was totally new to the whole concept of MUDs, and only had a general grasp of what the hell was going on. (and even now - you say I have all her scenarios down? Not really - I do have an idea of who she is, and how she'll react, but I can still occasionally be thrown for a loop.) Real, "deep" character dev can take years - my recommendation for you is that it's better to, in an uncertain situation, give an immediate reaction to at least get the ball rolling, and initiate the conversation - because that's really how character dev takes PLACE. You have to spend time as Faithia, interacting with others as her, to see how she'll react. Even if to a comment like that, all you do is raise an eyebrow, it still shows some counter-interest in interaction, which is always better than none.

I understand the wanting-to-respect-Elders POV, too - but if someone approaches you like that, its absolutely not disrespectful to respond in kind, and most people -are- aware of that.

I appreciate that it will take a long time to develop Faithia. I plan to write a little on her in my spare time - background and such (when I get some time that is). I am no good writer, but I think the process will be good for me.

Thank you for your advice. It is nice to hear, and encouraging. Funny you should say about raising an eyebrow, as I was very close to doing that. Perhaps my instincts are alright after all.

MUDs are still very much a new concept for me. I hope to find a nice niche of role players both in and out of house. Time I have. Patience I have. It will be nice to be at a position where I can log Faithia and just take on her finely sculpted character traits. I definitely need a space in my mind that isn't work and travelling for work.

To be quite honest, sometimes I get caught up and forget to make Rynn act as Rynn.

Making your character an exact replica in personality to you is a very bad idea, because you may take people acting against your character as acting against -you- personally, and then that leads to frivolous issues and skipped opportunities for good roleplay, et cetera. Someone probably already said this. Oh well.

Is this even relevant anymore? Oh well. It's still good advice.

I am not sure I would still be there to be hit on if someone used a line like that. Hee Hee.

Anyway, bedtime for me guys.

I plan to discuss more role playing wonderings with you all some other time.

Why on earth does it even matter if you are well known or not? Vivienne doesn't fall into the "well known" category and I still have fun playing.

I do not understand this smiley. Asara, are you under the mistaken impression that you're not well-known?

Haha, you were saying how much you enjoyed this game?

Welcome to achaea luv, you will find that your so called precious RP..does not live here. Just be lucky he didn't ask for mudsex.

And the answer to your question is yes people do think they can behave like that because they are 100 years old

I may or may not speak for some others when I ask you kindly to shut your trap... I don't believe Achaea makes any claim to be some seamless and perfect Roleplay environment. We are with both casual and hardcore roleplayers alike. Even some of the more dedicated people could be charged with the occasional "rofl" said outloud. If you have such a problem leave. We don't need you leeching around, especially as far as the games forums. Now skitter off to WoW.

Anon's style of posting really reminds me of Peneon, nice and bitter.

I'd say it reminds me more of Cain then Peneon

I was not angry, but something made me raise my eyebrow in question the other day. Granted, I am a newbie in these lands and my beloved little Faithia is but a sweet and tender age of 18, but how people role play confuses me sometimes.

I was sitting in Hashan minding my own business when a guy, who shall remain nameless as I have forgotten his name, came up to me. He didn't even say "Hello", just walked on up to me a young girl minding her own business and said "Question. Why are you wearing those socks with knee-high boots?". I did a quick HONOURS on him and he was a Hashani Elder of sorts, but I ignored his rudeness all the same. He emoted something blunt and walked away. Now, my character has thin legs meaning she gets cold easily, hence the socks.

Guys, would you walk up to a 18 year old girl and ask her to justify her wardrobe? Is that not a bit shiverworthy ?

I didn't want to piss off someone in a position of power, but it did make me stop and think over what I wanted Faithia to do. I also had 2 glasses of wine after work that day, so I came close to letting loose a tirade.

Do people really think they can behave how the like just because they are over 100 years old?

Late to the party, but I would point out that Hashan does attract that sort of individual. Hashan and Cyrene are pretty much sister cities, but in Cyrene, everyone's scared of being branded 'disrespectful' and crucified at the Crossing. Hashan doesn't have that issue, so folks are free to be tactless, creepy, or otherwise socially inept.

Actions do not always self represent, Faithia.
