*CENSORED* *CENSORED* joo t@lk1ng bout w1ll1s?!

I R T3H M1CH3@L C0RV1N!

On a more rational and sane note, players will RP what they like, that is their choice. I for one find it amusing when someone creates a player event based on the premise that a character has been infected with a succubus virus, a vampire virus, a super l337 blood noble virus whatever. Its a game at the end of the day.

Obviously that breaks down into OOC replies of a player, since IC replies more or less tends to be about how good/bad you are are potraying what you are trying to be.

OOC is where the true nature of a personality reflects.

Though choice of what you want to be from a OOC perspective to be IC is what would reflect on the actual personality I would think.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is just silly at this point.  It's been discussed time and again, and the truth is that the only real solution is to let bygones be themselves.  As long as I remain in this game, I can assure you that htere will always be at least one drinker being played.

For the record, Persephone's line was as follows:

That means that he keeps them as bodyguards because they're tough for the Merovingian's enemies to kill, not because they're useless relics of an older version of the Matrix.

Ah... I've felt the whole time that there was something inaccurate with the "kept around for the sake of being kept around" part, but didn't bother to check it and just let it stand.

Another minus point for Cryshal SMILEY

Sorry, that had to be done.

When was the last time they actually had an event for the vampires and werewolfs? Oh about a little over a year ago when they tried to rebel.

 

Look, they are part of the storyline, the actual LET characters that are lupine and blood drunk are rarely seen these days and further more its RP. The day the devs say you cant RP the way you like (such as how you conduct your character) is the day MXO will die. If you dont like the RP try the following:

  • Leave the room.
  • Ignore the chat partaining to that all togeather
  • Join the RP as a hunter (serously, you dont like the vampires? Become a vampire hunter)
  • and if you really cant stand it, change servers

I dont RP a vampire or Lupine myself but ive met some people who do it quite tastefully nor flaunt it. I also dont let it get to me. If you cant stand it, remove yourself from the situation, dont dictate to people what they can or can not do for their RP. As many people love to say, its their $15 a month, they are entitled to RP the way they want.

Ba-dum-tish!

Quite right too.
I don't think the problem is people in general RPing the way they want. Vector had that stupid "Leet RP" going on for a while which got a bunch of people banned.

What people seem to be getting annoyed about is that someone RPs in their own way - quite rightly - but then attempts to integrate that into the canonical goings-on of the storyline or big themselves up in some other way.

If you really do have to pretend that you have fangs and all of that, then you can't expect to also be taken seriously when suddenly you want to integrate into part of a storyline that flat out contradicts the premise behind your character.

Yes vampires were in the films.
No they were not redpills.

Yay for no edit.

Er the other thing is, on a personal point of view, if you're running around in character that obeys the basic points set out by the game (i.e. human redpill jacked into the Matrix) no matter how inventive or downright boring you are, there's a good chance I'll interact with you.
If you're running around going "Oooh lookit my fangs deary" and attempting to be something that - from my personal understanding and in-character understanding you cannot logically or plausibly be, then I likely won't give you the time of day.

My own opinion is that if people wish to RP as a certain type of character, so be it. It is a game and people will get their fun in many different ways.

However when it does come to down key storyline instances every individual needs to understand what they are, and that is a redpill, a human freed from the Matrix and now working inside it for a particular organisation. Though I can't say ive read all material published about the Matrix , im not sure a redpill could suddently become a exile program.

Aqua has exactly the same attitude I do about this. Player RP is nothing that big, and I really don't care what you do as long as you don't godmod.

Unless Rarebit recognizes you as such, I will not call you an exile in the middleof a live event.

Unless you're Void.

Oh and Aqua, you must not have been around when Invalesco was here.

Invalesco said he could turn people into vampires but I think he got killed before it happened SMILEY Maybe he was lying or trying to trick redpills hehe SMILEY

I don't think we will ever know, especially since we found out that whole event is what the old team came up with on their own outside of the main story or whatever, so I will go on the belief that it isn't possible! SMILEY

I think thats a good point, unless your Void. What void did was create a huge event complete with clues, twists, PVP, hell he even used Pandora boxes to institute combat. In the end he made it worth while for everyone who partisipated. My point is that I think that if you put alot of effort into "becoming" an exile people are more willing to accept it instead of logging into the matrix the first time and instantly claiming to be an exile.

o0o0o, roukans a bit touchy lately. i think we all know why tho. and as for zeroone..

difficult to terminate? so they MUST be pretty badass. SO hardcore, in fact, that a woman in a dress shot one right there, and that was that. SO hardcore, that when neo came strolling in, everyone BUT the lupines and vampires were called in.. hm.

they were kept around as they were likely more trouble to be rid of them than it was to keep them. and thats just from a practical perspective. if in fact the mero is as powerful as hes portrayed, then im sure it would be no problem for him to eliminate them. the brothers probly tossed in a lycan this and vampire that for broader fan appeal. after all, wouldnt wanna commit the sin of missing out on all the depeche mode fans.

redpill != vampire/lycan, and thats that. yes, play your game how you want, ill always back this notion up (see various references to dev-induced changes to the game dictating style of play), yes, but.. shouldnt the way someone plays the game make some kind of sense? in other words, we can 'stray' from the movies a bit, sure, but just how far?

i think some *CENSORED* running around calling me darling and asking me if they can *some freeky psuedo-sexual activity* just isnt matrixy, no matter how much spin they put on it. all the bullsh*t adolescent sophistry in the world cant make a redpill into a vampire, sorry.

but kate beckinsale sure is hot.

1. Pherephone killed one with a silver bullet, the kill code for that particular exile. And when the Merv came in the other brother was the first to be killed, you have to watch it a few times to catch it.

2. Well the did it anyway, like it or not, Vampire's, Lupines, Succabus, Nightmares, Ghosts, etc are part of the story line. You dont like it, hit the cancel button because they arnt going anywhere.

3. How far is determined by your grasp of the story and whats possible. I personally play as a human with an exile infesting his mind. This is backed up in story lore when Smith took over Bane. This is how I can make my claims and still be 100% bound to the games mechanics (case in point, being able to use the EJP's). And always, if a persons RP is nuts, theres nothing stoping you from taking an IC stand point that they are insane.

i think some *CENSORED* running around calling me darling and asking me if they can *some freeky psuedo-sexual activity* just isnt matrixy, no matter how much spin they put on it. all the bullsh*t adolescent sophistry in the world cant make a redpill into a vampire, sorry.

4. ..... Did you by chance miss the club hel sence in matrix 3? Or how about the merv missions that you have more then one Succubus hinting at what they would like to do to you.

Finally, you really kill your arguement by swearing and going around the censor. People would be more inclinded to debate with you if you didnt call them demeaning names or say what they do is bull. You dont like what someone does? Ignore it.

but kate beckinsale sure is hot.
