Therein Lays a Threshold

[drunkenpandaren]

WoW RP is similar to RP on Livejournal. You have your actions, turns, conversations but with more macros and gear to represent who you are.

Lately I've encountered a druid who Rein and Yue call Mr. Chicken who wants to change the very core of Rein into something suiting himself. How do I tell them that I don't like this? It's too creepy, and to be honest, I'm kinda worried that I have a bit of a stalker. I mean, everywhere I go, people are going "OMG your outfit's so great", "Holy crap what a great RSP profile!".

But there's a comfort zone thing happening here. I dislike Family RP with a passion rivaling Supergate explosions. Some situations it's fine, if you build to it. This is all at once, and it's creeping me out.

Sigh.

Oh.

Maybe tell the guy "sorry, but I don't want Rein to be what you want her to be""?

[shaungarin.livejournal.com]

I tried handling that ICly. It didn't work. The guy kept begging. And now I'm on "Busy" status hoping he'll get the message.

[writesonthesly.livejournal.com]

Tell the mods?

[shaungarin.livejournal.com]

Well I'd have to report him to the GM but he hasn't done anything YET to warrant that. I mean, I'm sure the player is fine but the IC interactions are seriously pinging on the Creep Factor 2200.

[writesonthesly.livejournal.com]

I'd say to him "bugger off"

but that'd be too mean. And I'm dealing with own player!failure, so I've gotta hold back the angry stream of "YOU ARE MODDING ME YOU MORON!"

[shaungarin.livejournal.com]

I know. This is a knotty problem since this is one of the players I see all the time and I'm all "Gao this is weird stopit its out of my comfort zone".

He wants Rein to act like a 3 year old, or wear clothing like it and I'm all "NO. I don't care if it's in the name of changing people but no. Go away Mr. Chicken."

I even had to bust out Rein's old personality to try and dissuade him and Elohika is GRUMPY AS FUCK. He still begged and pleaded. I'm thinking Rein'll leave him. Go back to Theramore.

[writesonthesly.livejournal.com]

I'd also leave him. Who cares about him. If he's creeper modding you, then he's a creeper modding you.

[shaungarin.livejournal.com]

Going to. Sending him a letter from Booty Bay. Cause this is far out of my comfort zone.

[writesonthesly.livejournal.com]

I've got news that'll cheer you up.

[shaungarin.livejournal.com]

Oh ho? What happened?

[writesonthesly.livejournal.com]

Devlin'll be part of the surrogate family aboard the ship.

Nura's going to be giving him advice on how to talk to girls. Because, sorry Ben. Nura loves you very much...but you have problems talking to girls.

[shaungarin.livejournal.com]

This has maximum lulz potential. I approve.

Now that's how a Family should be like.

EDIT: Speaking of silly, watch the video here just scroll down a bit. The Day When Deathwing Came. It's HILARIOUS.

http://www.mmo-champion.com/

And under it is a wonderful Machinima called Legends. Watch that too. It's awesome.

[writesonthesly.livejournal.com]

Maydril also wants to know if she'll be allowed to prank Ben back if he pranks her, and if Nura will stop her. I said, "Nura will definitely not approve, but when has that ever stopped siblings from pranking each other?"

Oh god. That is so hillarious. "I started searching the clouds!" A freaking midget shrunk the world! Then they were interrupting each other. Applaud to Blizzard!

Oh so awesome.

[shaungarin.livejournal.com]

Hehehe perfect. And I can't wait to see the retaliation.

Heheh yep. And the commentary through it and the guy doing the voices. BEAUTIFUL.

Yep! Look up Tales of the Past 3 as well. That machinima is BRILLIANT.

[writesonthesly.livejournal.com]

You kids are going to give your mother an even worse migraine. Nura's already on medication.

"I'M GONNA GO AND PUNCH 'IM IN THE FACE!!" It was awesome! And then he just throws his sword at him.

Beautiful!

[shaungarin.livejournal.com]

Heheheh oh yes. Ben and May, it's going to be like Ben and Gwen all over again.

And that's IN-GAME too. Seriously XD

There's also many other amazing Machinima available. Let's see...

And then there's The Grind Episode 1, 2 and 3...

Chronicle of the Annoying Quest, a Red vs Blue-type series...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90Bf_wJSq2A

And of course, Tales of the Past 1, 2 and 3. Warning, 3 is bloody long, 1 1/2 hours and it's like a freaking anime. It's WONDERFUL. 1 isn't voiced over, 2 is and 3 is a HUUUGE production.

[writesonthesly.livejournal.com]

Not to mention there will be Devlin there... Oh yes, this is going to be one crazy family. And it's all IC!

"Stop that! This is my story!" -- "I can't believe those guys would interrupt me like that!"

I've got a lot of watching to do today now...wow...

[shaungarin.livejournal.com]

Yep! It's going to be awesome.

It's just totally awesome how it's a series of tall tales.

I would suggest as a start with The Grind. And then go with Tales of the Past or Illegal Danish. Save TOTP3 and Chronicle for later, there's a LOT of watching to be had.

[queenofcalamity.livejournal.com]

Too lazy to change out of rp account...

And you can definitely tell they're tall tales, because WTH! Helzz yeah! A gnome shrunk the world?! I want that gnome to be on my team next time!

Got it.

Also, will soon start a word document plotting out the plan for December. The one where Ben possibly goes on a guilt trip for his Ultimatrix knocking Nura out.

[shaungarin.livejournal.com]

Hehehe perfect.

And yes, it's nice to see Blizzard having such an amazing sense of humor all the time. And yes, I want that Gnome too. And the dwarf in the party. FALCON PAAAAUUNCH!

Oh TOTALLY. That'll be freaking awesome.

[akino-ame.livejournal.com]

...Okay, reading what you said? Here are my impressions:

1. Trying to tell you how to play YOUR OC for his own interests? That's grounds to say "GTFO."

2. A FETISH FOR 3-YEAR-OLDS?! "GTFO NOW!"

Edit: Preferably, with a reaction similar to Carter's, as seen in this icon.

[shaungarin.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I'm leaving him. Sending him a letter saying "I've been reassigned. Sorry." Cause Rein hates the fact she's running from this but she doesn't want to stir up trouble.

EDIT: it's also in point that Rein's too damn cute and unable to say no to his face too.

[akino-ame.livejournal.com]

Now you see, this is why you should play this girl sometimes. She'd get the message across clearly in the universal language of PAIN.

[shaungarin.livejournal.com]

If it's any consolation, Elohika's like a Draenei version of Shayera. When her full personality finally mixes with her new one, we're going to have a lot of fun.

[shiroyuki-kun.livejournal.com]

...reading the other comments all I could get was

"Loli+WoW=NO THANK YOU gtfo the internet now please Mr. Chicken".

Also if anyone goes by the handle of Mr. plus an animal... I'd be creeped out before hand. Especially if it's chicken. But then again I'm a stupid ragey paranoid.

[shaungarin.livejournal.com]

To be honest, Rein doesn't know the name of Mr. Chicken anyhow. Falsomething.

[shiroyuki-kun.livejournal.com]

Well I figured that wasn't the character name, I'm talking handles, as I assume nobody would really call a WoW character that unless they mean to be funny.
