So, this guy came in early today, and posted as such --
* Sebastian_Black (
noneed@d0c88ace.cable.c7b28ff4.com.hmsk) has joined #Cobalt*Academy
* Sebastian_Black walks in, brandishing two fully automatic shotguns with large circular slugs seen from the barrel at closer range, encased with anti-mutant venom so that it would be equally effective against mutants as well as humans.. he's dressed in a black trench coat.
<Krieg> _6... That's a .. joke.. right?
<Sebastian_Black> (( Are you IC? ))
I proceeded to drag him into whisper.
Session Start: Fri Feb 29 09:53:51 2008
Session Ident: Sebastian_Black
_01[09:54] <Krieg> Your IP looks familiar.. Do I know you? And no, it's a little early for most people to go IC.
[09:54] <Sebastian_Black> I don't know
[09:54] <Sebastian_Black> But that wasnt a joke
_01[09:54] <Krieg> Uhh, have you been here before?
[09:54] <Sebastian_Black> My character's a mutant hunter.
[09:55] <Sebastian_Black> For the government
[09:55] <Sebastian_Black> You know, president Kelly
[09:55] <Sebastian_Black> And the under ground movement to assassinate mutants
_01[09:55] <Krieg> Again, I ask, have you actually.. been here before?
[09:55] <Sebastian_Black> No
_01[09:55] <Krieg> Oooook.
_01[09:55] <Krieg> Well.
_01[09:56] <Krieg> Number one, waltzing in and attempting to declare some sort of... hunt on the populous probably won't work out so well. Number two, there's kind of a.. process involved in getting into the roleplay, which you should have probably seen upon entering the channels, but it's cool that you're eager.. and.. there's no number three.
[09:59] <Sebastian_Black> You think that in a X-Men rp there'd only be mutants?
[09:59] <Sebastian_Black> That's silly
[09:59] <Sebastian_Black> an*
_01[10:00] <Krieg> No. But deciding your mutant hunter's going to amble on up and start firing away kind of doesn't fly. Mainly because you're a person who, to my knowledge, has never been here before, so we don't know, OOC, what kind of things you intend to do. And, uh, as an op, I kind of like to be informed.
[10:04] <Sebastian_Black> Listen..
_01[10:04] <Krieg> Listening.
[10:05] <Sebastian_Black> Your concept of roleplaying is misconstrued on so many levels I don't even know where to begin..
[10:05] <Sebastian_Black> Anything you know about me ooc doesn't effect what my character's actions consist of, at all.
[10:06] <Sebastian_Black> I've been roleplaying for twelve years, I can jump on any storyline and roleplay in it no problem.
[10:06] <Sebastian_Black> not just bullshit planned out Rp like you seem to do.
_01[10:07] <Krieg> While not trying to dictate what your character may or may not do, the rules and guidelines are in place so people do not randomly wander in and attempt to godplay. It may say freeform, but it does not mean 'come on in and do whatever the hell you feel like it'. RP isn't planned, but things that could have a large impact on peoples' characters DO need to be run by ops, as it's only caused _6-_
_01[10:07] <Krieg> _6- trouble to let players dictate the way the channel has run in the past. _
[10:08] <Sebastian_Black> Godplay?
[10:08] <Sebastian_Black> You guys use that word a lot.
_01[10:08] <Krieg> You guys?
[10:08] <Sebastian_Black> Yeah, amateurs.
_01[10:09] <Krieg> And frankly, I don't care how many years you've been roleplaying. If it's been that long, you should know enough to show common courtesy in someone else's channel and have the decency to at least inquire about the setting if you're interested instead of slinging around the 'I'm better than you' card.
[10:09] <Sebastian_Black> You call any attack at any time "god play"
_01[10:09] <Krieg> No.
[10:09] <Sebastian_Black> Save for punching someone in the face, or something lame like that.
_01[10:09] <Krieg> Mm, no.
_01[10:09] <Krieg> Do you know ANYTHING about the setting?
[10:09] <Sebastian_Black> My character's a psionicist.
[10:09] <Sebastian_Black> Yes, of course.
[10:09] <Sebastian_Black> I've been reading marvel comics for years.
[10:10] <Sebastian_Black> My character's actually a mutant, same power as Jean Grey or Professor X, but also a highly skilled gunner, and boxer.
[10:10] <Sebastian_Black> I read the whole website
_01[10:12] <Krieg> I doubt it, considering everything you've done thus far has shown the exact opposite.
[10:13] <Sebastian_Black> You're negative about everything I do, its starting to make me think this isn't right for me.
_01[10:15] <Krieg> I'm trying very hard to be positive, but I'm not really sure what kind of impression you expect me to have of you when you seem to want to call me an amateur roleplayer because I questioned you about something you did in our channel. O_o
[10:17] <Sebastian_Black> Lol.
[10:17] <Sebastian_Black> I was kidding
[10:19] <Sebastian_Black> You're alright
[10:19] <Sebastian_Black> Want to roleplay?
_01[10:19] <Krieg> ....
_01[10:19] <Krieg> I'm confused is what I am..
_01[10:19] <Krieg> So, you say you've read the website. You know you're supposed to register your character and have it approved for use? And yes, I'm slinging around the term godmode, because many people have done it in the past and it's something that's gotten way out of hand.
[10:19] <Sebastian_Black> Confusion is to be expected as an amateur gamer, lol.
_01[10:19] <Krieg> ...
[10:19] <Sebastian_Black> No, but seriously.
[10:19] <Sebastian_Black> I'm a godmoder.
[10:19] <Sebastian_Black> I'll call the sun down to the earth and use the ultraviolet rays to cook everybody in the channel, then leave.
[10:20] <Sebastian_Black> In a huge 8 paragraph post
[10:20] <Sebastian_Black> Legit
_01[10:20] <Krieg> Err..shit, I missed a whole statement there. Insert something along the lines of, 'it's there to prevent godmoders'.
_01[10:21] <Krieg> Anyways. What I was saying was.. it's like, a 5 minute process to register to the forums and create a character sheet, then it takes virtually no time to be approved if it's decent.
[10:21] <Sebastian_Black> Hmm..
[10:21] <Sebastian_Black> Well I mean.
[10:21] <Sebastian_Black> Honestly, I'm just trying to fight.
[10:22] <Sebastian_Black> Roleplay for a little bit
[10:22] <Sebastian_Black> Then leave when I get bored
_01[10:26] <Krieg> Then this is probably not the place for you, I'm afraid. I'm sure I can think of a couple of other channels you'd prefer for that sort of thing, though.
[10:27] <Sebastian_Black> Yeah? Where
[10:28] <Sebastian_Black> YO
_01[10:29] <Krieg> Welllll, there's several other X-Men based roleplays on Sorcery.. there's Xaviers_School, which is, to my knowledge, far more strict to the comic than we are.. then there's another... Boreale*Accademia.. I think it's based in Italy or something..
Meanwhile, Kas is also talking to him in whisper.
<Kass> [10:14:49] <Kass> Hey. Your entrance, does not fit in with the scenery and setting established in this game. Simply walking 'in' to a gated facility with a guard post does not make much sense. While I appreciate the fact that you are trying to make something happen it would be advisable that you familiarize yourself with the layout of the setting, as well as the rules in place.
<Kass> [10:15:21] <Sebastian_Black> Well you listen here, buddy boy.
<Kass> [10:16:07] <Sebastian_Black> I didn't necessarily walk in, I was attempting to. If the guards would stop him then I assume somebody would post an action indicating that.
<Kass> [10:16:11] <Kass> Did I demean you in anyway? I dont think so, there is no need to use negative terminology such as buddy boy. When I am simply informing you of your faux paus.
<Kass> [10:17:21] <Kass> Did you register your character?
<Kass> [10:17:24] <Sebastian_Black> Yeah.
<Kass> [10:17:35] <Kass> And it has been approved?
<Kass> [10:17:46] <Sebastian_Black> Yes, Krieg approved it.
This was a lie. Strike one.
<Krieg> ...
<Krieg> Why do I continually get the feeling that this dude's been around before. I don't see too many people toying with me like that.
<Kass> [10:19:40] <Kass> So you are aware of the presence of a clearly visible robot several stories high on campus? As well as the fact that the gates are sealed until the gate guard opens them?
<Kass> [10:21:28] <Sebastian_Black> Yes, but I'm sure that somebody ON SITE will prevent that in an IC situation.. I don't have to belittle my roleplay because of that simple obstacle.
<Kass> [10:21:55] <Kass> You do have to adjust according to what is going on.
<Kass> [10:22:30] <Sebastian_Black> Are you an op?
<Kass> [10:22:34] <Kass> Walking up to a gated facility with a shotgun, when said facility is not near anything of note...IE it wouldnt make sense not to drive there, is out of the norm.
<Kass> [10:22:55] <Kass> Indeed.
<Kass> [10:27:57] <Sebastian_Black> So what should I do to remedy this whole situation
<Kass> [10:27:59] <Sebastian_Black> My nizzle
<Kass> [10:28:10] <Sebastian_Black> Just bounce or wat
<Kass> [10:28:19] <Sebastian_Black> Excuse my french im maaad high, lol
<Kass> [10:28:44] <Kass> If you would like to rp here, then I suggest you really register your character and wait for approval, while actually taking the time to read the setting.
<Kass> [10:28:58] <Sebastian_Black> But I mean..
<Kass> [10:28:58] <Sebastian_Black> Will I be respected
<Kass> [10:29:01] <Sebastian_Black> Like the rest of the jews?
That was like, strike two and three all bundled up into one. I let Kass aid me in his downswiping because I was not up for very long, and frankly, didn't know wtf the dude was talking about half the time.
So, what have we learned today?
1.) If you don't let everyone play whatever they want, you're an amateur roleplayer.
2.) 12 years of roleplay experience means you can be an ass.
3.) Don't get on IRC while you're high.
4.) Every mutant channel has the same setting and storyline.
5.) Lying about your status on the website and having read the setting is f**k retarded.
That's all, see you next time in AnE's Corner. *bows*
