	Morgaine wonders where the whole 'magic being almost nonexistant' thing comes into play with Bane. Bane T'Claw: (This is Therio. Talzhemir has NEVER set the rules for us.) Styxx/Shard notes that Bane never said he was using Magic :P() You say, "(Opening message as you enter Therio, Bane...)" Bane T'Claw: (Morgaine, it doesn't matter. Talzhemir has never had dominance over Therio's RP. And when did I say that it WAS magic?) You say, "(Most people abide by that rule, Bane.)" You say, "(Regardless of who set it, it's also monitored. People are booted from the map if they use magic.)" Styxx/Shard: (I abide the rule..although Talz can suck me for all I care) Bane T'Claw sniffs slightly, muttering... the glow in his eyes fades, as well as the glow encompassing him. Bakushin: (Morgaine, let us have our fun. You don't like it, don't RP with us.) Bane T'Claw: (With a rule with so many loopholes, I don't really give a damn, Morgaine. Let me be booted for my character having inate abilities; let the rest of Therio be booted as well.) You say, "(No need to argue about it, I was just making a point.)" Styxx/Shard: (I like being booted...saves me the trouble of making a fancy exit :P) Bane T'Claw: (I'm not arguing, Morgaine, but there's an enormous difference between people abiding by an enforced rule and people just pretty much ignoring it because it's a pointless rule and unenforced. If the rule said NO SUPERNATURAL ABILITIES, then THAT would turn some heads...) Bane T'Claw: (Anyways, brb. Phonecall.) You say, "(Just make sure and watch out for these -- [#] (Just a reminder: Please do not block gratings; please do not expect anybody to accept events that took place outside this Dream. We recommend against doing something magical and claiming "It's not MAGIC!"; this tends to be seen as "twinky".) -- they usually indicate someone's about to get a foot stuck up their ass.)" Styxx/Shard: (Has anyone ever heard of this bitch from NH called Garrlith Firepaw or Lucas Rurroll?) Xevame: (They go to the effort of recreating the 'old' theriopolis with a new patch, remodeling it for roleplayers, and nobody even bothers to go to the page and read Therio's background.) Bakushin: (Who wants to use the official background?) You say, "(I think it's a good rule. It prevents uber-spells that are impossible to counteract.)" Styxx/Shard: (I know what Morgaine means there.) Xevame: (Why, really! I mean, it could just be like Goldwyn roleplay, except on another map!) You say, "(Most people, even if they don't go by the official background, do follow that rule. Otherwise, they get booted from the map.)" You say, "(Just ask Hence. He knows all about getting booted for using magic, and claiming it's not actually magic.)" Abderus: (Feh.) Styxx/Shard: (Hence...hahahah I know him.) Shinzou leans back against the corner of the wall as he puffs smoke from his wooden pipe.. Bakushin: (Another problem - categorizing RP according to where it takes place. Judge the people involved, RP both good and bad takes place everywhere.) Styxx/Shard: (Ilike this char. cuase PSI and psionics are not magic, and I can use them all I like here) Styxx/Shard: I like You say, "(The thing that bugs me is when people use magical rings and items like that, prior to claiming that it's not -actually- magic, it's just "skill.")" Bane T'Claw: (Back.) Abderus: (Blah blah blah. Pick something and stick with it. If magic doesn't work well here, okay, I'm fine with that, don't argue.) Styxx/Shard once again performs his now daily exorcism to save his spacebar from the inhabiting demons...() [ Bane T'Claw whispers, "FYI, you brought up a good point, but there's too many loopholes. Also, Bane's abilities aren't magical." to you. ] Abderus: (If it does, well, whatever. But it has to be one way or the other.) [ You whisper "There are no loopholes." to Bane T'Claw. ] [ Bane T'Claw whispers, "There are infinitely many loopholes." to you. ] [ You whisper "It's a simple rule. You don't abide by it, you get booted. Literally." to Bane T'Claw. ] [ You whisper "Read the official background of the map." to Bane T'Claw. ] Shinzou: (No magic in this place. Thats just it. =p) [ Bane T'Claw whispers, "'No magic' doesn't mean 'no supernatural abilities.' Hell, even if it said no supernatural abilities, people would still bitch that telekenisis isn't a supernatural ability." to you. ] Bakushin: (Tch. Give me imagery and poetry and originality, and I don't care what you do.) [ You whisper "It's enforced, and not pointless." to Bane T'Claw. ] Abderus: (Not 'no magic', it's exceedingly weak magic, nigh non-existence.) Abderus: (Exactly, Bakushin.) Shinzou: (Meaning, high preperation is needed to perform magic?) [ You whisper "It's nullified by the map. Innate or not." to Bane T'Claw. ] You say, "(I think it just weakens the spell to the point it does little of anything.)" Xevame: (Meaning, your fireball spells becomes little more than a spark or wisp of flame.) Bakushin: (Characters should be concepts, people, realistic, -not- lists of power after power.) [ Bane T'Claw whispers, "It doesn't matter until people actually follow the rule and don't make up excuses to get around it." to you. ] Abderus: (Exactly.) You say, "(Aye. Exactly, Bakushin. We need more personality, less power.)"* [ Bane T'Claw whispers, "And I highly doubt that my character will be booted for having innate abilities. You can't control freeform." to you. ] You say, "(Roleplay is not based on fighting.)" Styxx/Shard I<1ll7 U @ll VV1+# #1$ 41/\/6 0f d3+# "no magics!"() Bakushin: (Supernatural abilities? Fine and dandy with me. Powerful supernatural abilities? Go ahead, but do it with style, and screw both preps and statistics.) Bane T'Claw: (Fighting is apart of roleplay.) Abderus: (It is.) [ You whisper "Innate abilities are simply weakened until they are almost nonexistant." to Bane T'Claw. ] [ Bane T'Claw whispers, "In your interpretation." to you. ] Trevyll: Ah, so is this where you all were? Heheh You say, "(Fighting is a part of it, but it's not the basis of it.)" Shinzou: (can we just get IC?) Bane T'Claw: (You can't define what the basis of roleplay -is-. It's a coaglamation of the sum of its parts.) [ You whisper "No, it's the way the map is made out to be. It's a rule, and it is made to be obeyed. It's enforced, as well. There is no point to disagreeing." to Bane T'Claw.] Abderus: (YES.) Trevyll: (Were not arguing about fighting being the main part of roleplay are we?) Abderus: Feh. I thought this would end differently. Apparently, I was mistaken. Warriors with silver tongues. What's next? Elephants and mice walking hand-and-hand? [ Bane T'Claw whispers, "And people don't obey it and people that I know of aren't booted for using it. As I said before: stupid rules aren't going to be obeyed. And this one hasn't." to you. ] Abderus: (In, not 'and'.) Morgaine scuffs the toe of her boot into the floor, head tilted as she glances around the room with slightly narrowed eyes, regarding everyone individually. "He talked too long." Bane T'Claw: ...he's gone. Styxx/Shard nods to Abder, smiling "I beleive so." Bane T'Claw: I don't know whether he's smart for leaving or just delaying the inevitable. Styxx/Shard: believe [ You whisper "Ask around. I saw Hence get booted for it. I've seen these -- '[#] (Just a reminder: Please do not block gratings; please do not expect anybody to accept events that took place outside this Dream. We recommend against doing something magical and claiming "It's not MAGIC!"; this tends to be seen as "twinky".)'" to Bane T'Claw. ] Trevyll: (My charecter doesn't even fight a lot..and when he does its fist fights..he's not a warrior, my RP isn't boring) Bakushin relinquishes Bane's tail after a good deal of nibbling and chewing, her chin descending to the wooden floor with a resounding clunk. [ You whisper "It is enforced, and it is a good rule." to Bane T'Claw. ] Abderus: (SILENCE) Trevyll: (I didn't get to put my comment in..=p) Abderus: Pfah. Excuses. You seemed more man-of-action than that. What a... disappointment. Shinzou looks at Abderus.. "So..." [ Bane T'Claw whispers, "A good rule would be nothing supernatural (telekenisis and telepathy included). Again, - YOUR OPINION. Please stop trying to pass it off as fact." to you. ] Morgaine shakes her head. "I question not his intelligence, but yours, for letting him merely walk away, after all that yabbering you did." She looks coolly at Bane. [ You whisper "Enter the map, see the entry message, and obey it." to Bane T'Claw. ] Bakushin flips to her feet, brown boots a-thunking. [ Bane T'Claw whispers, "With all due respect, you can't order me what to do. And I read the entrytext." to you. ] [ You whisper "It's not opinion, it is a -rule,- and I did not make it. Maybe it's not good for everyone, but it is -fair.-" to Bane T'Claw. ] Bane T'Claw: Let me ask both of you something. Drate: (Before I roleplay, could all the 'theiro guards' please exit Furcadia.) Styxx/Shard is going to hunt the damn fool down just to make everyone be less...grouchy. Trevyll whistles , trying to get attention possibly, or possibly just to whistle.. Styxx/Shard: (Hey Drate :P) [ Bane T'Claw whispers, "Again, the same arguement as before, which I debunked. I'm not replying to your whispers anymore because they simply seem to be opinion-filled persuasive jabber." to you. ] Abderus re-positions himself, scratching his chin. Trevyll: (Whats a therio guard?) Drate: ( http://Theriopolis.cjb.net ) Drate: (A twink.) Styxx/Shard: (Something he talked about yesterday) Bane T'Claw: Would you kill someone you've killed before simply for existing, or would you rather make sure they warranted it? Abderus: (IC.) You say, "(Someone who boots people who use magic, and claim it's not magic.)" Styxx/Shard: 0=) Drate: (Morgaine, is one. Haha) Trevyll: (brb) Bakushin, in the meanwhile, shuffles and shifts, shoving hands into the mouths of pockets yet again. Styxx/Shard: (Hahaha) Abderus: No, man, because when I kill people, they stay that way until I say otherwise. Not before. Bane T'Claw: (How I wish that was the case, Abderus...) Abderus's tone is matter-of-fact. Trevyll: (Whats with all the cats!?) Trevyll: (sorry) Shinzou looks at Abderus.. "You use your tongue quite rapidly. But only about battle. Why is that?" Bane T'Claw: Then you must have somesort of magicky doohicky to do it for you. I don't. And I'm not getting one. Abderus: (It usually is when he does it. His 'magic' is unconventional and hardly fits the definition of the word, but that is a subject better suited for a later date.) Morgaine edges out of the room, slipping off quietly.
