    @Elawien if you just need to check messages I'd do it through the website instead. Much easier.

    Dajio attempted to steal from me and failed tremendously.

    "Don't even think about it."
    *snap*
    "I warned you..."

    He got nothing, and he and @Aerek duked it out for a bit before he ran to his ship ((Really should have a "Can't board with hostile actions in the last 3 minutes" going on there))  Though, not before screaming at me, "YOU'RE NEXT" because why?

    Reasons.

    I've seriously no clue why he's threatening to kill me now besides that but.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Would totally back that! Or like the class change situation, 10 minutes.

    He was following me around Moghedu earlier. Dochitha and Medi both showed up after him. I lol'd . It was fun.


         He is a coward who has to bring two friends as backup to jump people hunting.

    60% towards 87, slowly but surely, too bad it is bed time... -cries-.

    Mhuns, good enough for 99...good enough for 113!

    You charge quickly at a mhun labourer, throwing your mighty form into him and sending him staggering 
    back.
    You have scored a CRUSHING CRITICAL hit!
    You have slain a mhun labourer, retrieving the corpse.
    Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 113.
    You have reached the illustrious level of 4th Echelon of the Paramount.
    A small pile of sovereigns spills from the corpse.

    I will be totally honest - I don't pay a lick of attention to people's race or descriptions. You may describe yourself as the most hideous troll but if you play an awesome character I will always see you as awesome and attractive. You may describe yourself as the most luscious siren, but I will again just see you via your interactions.


    I am terrible at the most part of a text based game - reading the descriptions and envisioning them. I just paint mental pictures of people via interactions (which has nothing to do with what the player thinks the character looks like,  lol).

    100% this haha. I never ever read people's actual descriptions. Glad to know I'm not the only one who envisions characters this way!

    Beauty comes out more in personality than looks, anyway. :)

    Edit: Hi Gory, been forevs. We should catch up at some point.
    And I love too                                                                          Be still, my indelible friend
    That love soon might end                                                         You are unbreaking
    And be known in its aching                                                      Though quaking
    Shown in this shaking                                                             Though crazy
    Lately of my wasteland, baby                                                 That's just wasteland, baby

    I picked siren for the pretty nice stats and bonus skill. I liked the thought of a pretty human-like creature.

    I didn't like that I have prove I'm not a sexalt or "one of those". 

    I really dont don't like the random tells from people who I think may want to talk to me about Targossas or other general rp, and it quicklygoes to the gutter. 

    I'd like to have Eli make lots of friends and acquaintances, but it's almost like an uphill battle, if not for @Torrin, @Daemo, @Aodfionn, @Carmell, @Frederich, @Alekxz, and a few people from Mhaldor, I'm fairly certain I would have quit by now. 

    I had this problem with Quisse from ages 18-25/26, despite the personality of my character. It does go away. Eventually. But I feel your pain.  To channel my inner Quisse: it's a genetic disadvantage.

    Where is the xena posts...

    Pretty much everything Halos just said. I almost always assume Siren =sexalt. Though I don't mean to. I do however (for the sake of fairness, honest) engage in conversation in the hopes of being proved wrong.

    Off your high horse @Kiet . You know damn fine why the stigma is there, play devils advocate all you like, but ask either of those CLs and they'll likely tell you they dealt with that assumption when the were 18yo level 30s. I'm not at all saying the assumption is always correct, hence my willingness to put it on standby, but siren (and raja for some crazy reason) are top choices for sex alting and you bloody well know it.

    Hey man, no one's forcing you to make silly assumptions that perpetuate a problem. "You know why the stereotype is there" is not a very good defence either IC or OOC :tongue:

    Personally, I don't assume anyone a sex alt unless they're blatantly not joining an org (or trying to advance in it) AND have a ridiculous desc AND are perma level 15.
  • TahquilTahquil
    Both my alts, who I made Sireni to see how pandemic this is, Had no problem with this issue despite being the happy, laughing, flirty stereotype. It may have to do that I avoided using the phrases commonly thought as indicators that don't directly relate to boobs and butt  'womanly figure', 'flat stomach', toned legs/thighs' etc.

    That said, people are forgetting the number of sex alts made in other races including the Horkval with tentacles and exoskeleton that moved to reveal more port holes.

    If someone's description has massive tits I can see and tries to imply I'm drooling after them, I will assume they're a sexalt, or nothing better than. Race doesn't really come into it, though most of them do seem to be sirens. If I'm talking in tells and I can't see them, I won't assume anything unless it consists of 'Sexalt tells you," We should have sex."
    To be clear, I don't check for a tits-heavy descs without strong hints of coquettishness.

    With me, it's always the quality of an interaction which prompts a "look person". Your emotes and says and tells and poses should shape opinion about you before your appearance does. I also don't look at an adventurer description as foundation of roleplay so much as see it as fodder for it.

    (To use Quisse as an example again, I was genuinely surprised to see she is a Siren and not a Human or Tsol'aa or Grook. She comes off as a Megyn Kelly, not a Megan Fox)

    I'm not certain what the whole "it didn't happen to me/my friend" thing means?

    It didn't happen to you, therefore it doesn't exist? Or, like, it's not so bad and it's being blown out of proportion? Your description has legs and describes hips, therefore it's your fault ( though most of the people who accost me in a manner have never seen Eli)?

    I am not certain what I am supposed to take away from comments like that?
    I wasn't trying to imply it isn't a problem... Just that it's a specific problem that needs specific solutions to it's problem.  I've discussed my options to the solutions in other threads ..

    @Halos : I always wondered what you and the guys think I roleplay as. The regular-Cyrenian-me can generally make the Targ facepalm in 1-2 minutes. I try to lay off it a bit while visiting you guys, but I am not concretely sure it ever worked.

    That said, interaction with sexalts can be lulzy if you react to it properly. There was one at Centre Crossing that tried to pounce me to initiate whatever the hell they do with themselves, I responded each pounce with a hug. I mean Silvy is not really an evil person, but trying to outhug him doesn't generally work. I had no intention of going anywhere or doing anything, but it was one of those times when something the players usually facepalm at getting beaten at its own game.

    Gah, I miss you guys a lot. :-(

    Wasn't there a guy who got propositioned because his name was feminine? Achaean predators are like the illegal deep sea fishers. Cast wide nets, ecological damage be damned.
  • TahquilTahquil
    My comment was to point out that being a siren doesn't automatically flag you for ridiculous propositioning. Description and actions go a loooooooong way to that.
