Trinity Soul University REVAMPED: A Casual Magic RP [OOC]

[SUSTIC]

I'm confused... Lunasa how does your character immediately know that just because Selene has 7 clocks strapped to her belt, that she is a Chronomancer? Just having clocks on you does not immediately mean Chronomancer...


Sorry just asking...

[Zekai]

I was going to say something but decided to wait until someone said something about it.

Sustic you need to be less lenient with things like this. This is a blatant meta-gaming and it violates the most fundamental rule of RPing.

[SUSTIC]

@Wriggle

Don't you think I know that?

That's why I brought it up. If Lunasa does not respond or does not fix his post within the next 12-24 hours then I will get onto him, ask him to delete his post, then I will enact action.

[Cucoo5]

honestly it could be passed off as an educated guess, albeit if it were phrased differently to reflect it. A simple edit would suffice.
I don't necessarily have a problem with this, as it doesn't change anything in particular with how selene would react.

[SUSTIC]

That's also why I said if he doesn't fix his post. A simple edit can easily fix it, but if he does not fix it within 12-24 hours then a more serious action will be enacted.

[Lunasa Prismriver]

Seven clocks seems oddly specific, don't you think? I mean, what else could it possibly be other than chronomancy? Or perhaps it's a highly specialized form of Artificer Magic. Either way, it's an assumption that could have been signaled with a better choice of words.

Fixed.

[SUSTIC]

Yes, but Chronomancy is also a specific guess. We didn't even know if your character is or WAS aware of Chronomancy until now. In fact even some of my characters (not including NPC's) are fully aware of all magic types like Lunar Magic, Chronomancy, and possibly even other types (Like Form Change type.) Not that Chronomancy isn't common or rare... (though due to the potential OPness it can possess, I would probably make it a bit more of an uncommon type of magic like with Blood Magic.)

Yes Seven Clocks can be a bit... suspicious, but that doesn't IMMEDIATELY mean someone is a Chronomancer. It could potentially mean other things not related to magic (they could be heirlooms handed down to her, or she could just be a collector.)

Listen when it comes to potential Meta-Gaming I get VERY on edge.

[WriggleRid3r]

I could wear 7 clocks right now. Hell I actually have 7 wristwatches I can wear. Does that make me a chronomancer?

I have Lynne wear all black clothes, and yet she isn't a Dark magic user.

What I'm trying to say is that it's really risky to ask a "yes-or-no" type of questions in an RP as it tips over the metagaming portion of the RP which is HIGHLY frowned upon.

Besides, asking someone of their magic type when they haven't even asked for their names is kind of creepy.

[Lunasa Prismriver]

Considering that the person you're talking to is currently in a bush, I don't really think it's the appropriate time to introduce yourself.

Mentioning something such as magic would be like if you're sitting next to someone who is wearing a Rolex and you ask 'Wow, is that a Rolex?' It's idle conversation generated from an interesting aspect related to someone that doesn't require an introduction prior to the initial conversation starter.

As for the knowledge of Chronomancy, I think that Anthony would have heard of it since he is a Siren, a creature of Greek origins, and perhaps he would have read to learn about his heritage and stumbled upon Chronos, the Greek god of time.

Also, Wriggle, your examples are very weak. You wearing seven watches means that you're just wearing watches, nothing special except for a little eccentricity. However, in a world of magic, such a thing would actually mean something along the lines of a specialization involving clocks, time, or any other significance involving the object. As for the example with clothes, I know fully well that clothes means next to nothing. I can judge a book by its cover all I want, but I'm more prone to pay attention to a book with seven clocks on it than one with a monochrome cover.

[WriggleRid3r]

I don't know. If I saw a girl sticking out of a bush I would help them get out of that first, instead of sitting there, not help cuz the girl's situation looks too awkward for a guy to help, and just ask "Are you a chronomancer?"

It's common sense. Look it up on urbandictionary, maybe you might get some answers.

Then again I'm not your character so who am I to argue?

[Kristia]

Sorry to barge in, but Wriggle is right on this

Making a quick supposition from seeing what the person wears or acts is normal, I know Kris would have at least thought about it because of her knowledge through books.

[Lunasa Prismriver]

What Anthony said actually had something of a double meaning. I actually had no idea how exactly to help with something like that. And I'd rather not simply say 'helped' because it's completely vague and I don't understand how you're supposed to help someone stuck upside down in a bush without a certain problem involving skirts and dresses.

But alas, I'll just fix the problem by using this "common sense" that I obviously lack and edit my post.

[SUSTIC]

Okay I think we should all calm down... To be honest I don't know what to do anymore myself.

This is like the 7th-8th version of TSU, and I think this Revamp was just a bad idea in general. All of my versions of TSU all failed because of one stupid thing that got blown out of proportion. The last version of TSU on these forums failed because of one small problem on my part (for not trying to encourage TRXD to try and close things up with Trista), and now this small problem which we could easily have fixed (I didn't need to start acting so severe, and Lunasa you didn't need to respond so harshly to Wriggle.) We could have easily settled things easily BUT YET AGAIN, I have unintentionally started the downfall of this RP.

I don't even know why I try to host any RP's. I'm not good at making them! I'm not even good at running one. I should stick with joining RP's, and if I can develop a sort of arc in one for people to take part in like with ATWAG.


Hell I don't even know why I continue to RP. My activity is slipping, and in the future my activity will freaking drop. I should just try and get all my characters in all the RP's I'm in to a fucking end so I can just stop RPing. I have lost a lot of my drive to RP in the past, and now I just don't feel like I should continue.

Also Lunasa you better be careful, because even in the previous TSU you have been on edge with nearly getting kicked out of the RP due to inactivity without really informing me or any of the people I designated as staff for TSU. Jasmine (Serene) may be inactive, but she has good reasons. Along with S1. We know why they are inactive, but you don't post all too often without informing us as to why you are inactive.


Listen I might just need to take a fucking break from the forums and RP section altogether for a week or two. I just don't know.

[Lunasa Prismriver]

You know what? Why don't I just leave. I'm obviously not an RPer and years of writing my own stories has left me too used to playing god. Besides, I'm completely inactive and it's mainly due to a writer's block and terrible social skills. I'll abandon ship soon since I don't think it's fair to you or the other RPers if someone suddenly disappears from the face of the earth without any explaination why.

On a side note, sorry Wriggs. I just don't take too kindly to harsh criticism. And SUS, I urge you to continue. I know you don't think that you can run and make RPs, but you do so wonderfully. You don't need to be a slave driver to enforce rules, and I appreciate that you give me kind warnings instead of instantly banning me. As for your ability to create these RPs, you don't understand how great the idea for TSU is. The entire story was what actually caused me to attempt RPing for the first time.

But in the end, I failed at RPing and caused problems again. Sorry, Sus, Wriggs, and everyone else. I'm done.
