During an event, many things can happen.  Some good, some bad.  The key to it is always in the players who participate.  Therefore, I ask:

- Do you dress your best?

- Do you participate in-character?

- Do you show respect to all those in attendance?

- Do you respect the LE character (or LESIG) present?

- Do you scream obscenities, SPAM or act crudely?  If yes, why?

- Do you express displeasure, out of character, while present at the event?  If yes, why?

- Do you leave, if disinterested? If No, why?

- Do you expect a prize?

Yes.

- Do you participate in-character?
Yes, but not during holiday events.

- Do you show respect to all those in attendance?
OOC I do. IC it depends who there is.

- Do you respect the LE character (or LESIG) present?
OOC I do. IC, depends who it is.

- Do you scream obscenities, SPAM or act crudely?  If yes, why?
Nevah.

- Do you express displeasure, out of character, while present at the event?  If yes, why?
If people ask for critisism then I do, but if it isn't asked for then I wisely keep my mouth shut.

- Do you leave, if disinterested? If No, why?
Depends. I'd leave sooner when I'm at a small party then when someone has put a lot of effort in organising a big event. But I always stick around a bit longer than I want to, just to see if it changes and try to make the best of it.

- Do you expect a prize?
Nope.

- Do you dress your best?

I try.

- Do you participate in-character?

Yep. Both of them.

- Do you show respect to all those in attendance?

Most of the time.

- Do you respect the LE character (or LESIG) present?

Didn't used to, but now I do.

- Do you scream obscenities, SPAM or act crudely?  If yes, why?

Never.

- Do you express displeasure, out of character, while present at the event?  If yes, why?

In Faction chat.

- Do you leave, if disinterested? If No, why?

Yes, if someone is in need of help for a PB or something.

- Do you expect a prize?

If I go through a grueling amount of time with lots of frustration, yes. I at least expect recognition. If it's a simple run around, chase this guy (The Owl bangheart event for example), no.

Of course, cowboy hat, purple pants, and an extra large dose of the "blue pill."

- Do you participate in-character?

Do I have to?

Love and Respect. /hug

- Do you respect the LE character (or LESIG) present?

Love!

Nope, but what if a player's charcter was a jerk?

- Do you express displeasure, out of character, while present at the event?  If yes, why?

What if a player doesn't have an, "in-character."

- Do you leave, if disinterested? If No, why?

Not if there's free cake.

- Do you expect a prize?

Like a box of cracker jacks my friend.

I used to but i like my PvP Clothes now.

- Do you participate in-character?

I Try, but im not great.

- Do you show respect to all those in attendance?

Yes.. unless i am attacked..

- Do you respect the LE character (or LESIG) present?

Indeed.

- Do you scream obscenities, SPAM or act crudely?  If yes, why?

Only the od time when the event is being dragged on to long, Also if i am anoyed by Trash Talk from another player.. or there was that Time we had to slag off anome.

- Do you express displeasure, out of character, while present at the event?  If yes, why?

If an event drags on way to long yea.

- Do you leave, if disinterested? If No, why?

Again if it drags on to long

- Do you expect a prize?

Not always if some one is killed then, yes i do, I still believe there should be an item for each Org (E.G The FM1500) The 1st time u win an event u get your Org item,, if ur lucky to get a second one u get a choice of the others...

- Do you dress your best?

I dress depending on what the event will consist of. If it's a lot of running, then speed-buffed clothing, of course. If it's purely social, then dress socially.

- Do you participate in-character?

Depends on the situation. Fighting mass spawns of Unlimits or other high-level NPC's, no, I'm not in-character. It's tends to take too much time to find a RP-friendly way to tell someone to break an evade shield, hit me with buffs, hit another guy with rez, and watch out for the income Macherg. If it's a meeting or something else, then yes, I try to be in-character as much as possible.

- Do you show respect to all those in attendance?

No. Because more often than not, there are those in attendance that do not show respect toward me. I try to keep my mouth shut until spoken to, out of courtesy, but if an insult or a burn is flung in my direction, I will be the first one to speak up.

- Do you respect the LE character (or LESIG) present?

Again, depends. Always depends on who the character is, who they work for, and what they're trying to relate. During the Death of TaeCross event, I walked out on a meeting with our sad excuse for a liaison. Over half of the meeting followed me. Why? Because what we were being told to do went completely against what we had been working toward.

- Do you scream obscenities, SPAM or act crudely? If yes, why?

Yes, I do... when there's over an hour of playing "hurry up and wait." It tends to get on one's nerves and entice them to act out.

- Do you express displeasure, out of character, while present at the event? If yes, why?

See the last answer provided.

- Do you leave, if disinterested? If No, why?

Because I am a faction leader. Though I may not be interested in the event, there are many among my faction who are. Imagine Agent Gray calling you personally to set up a meeting with your entire faction, and nobody else is interested in meeting with him but you. I stay, do what I can, until the fat lady sings... or drops a code bomb.

- Do you expect a prize?

When I feel I've done something prize-worthy? Yes. I felt like locating TIMCAMM was prize-worthy, or at least credit-worthy from the powers that be. Apparently, however, they did not and do not feel the same way. Personally, I feel that the "winner" of each event should receive an in-game prize, and/or recognition through global broadcasts and the LE thread that corresponds with the event. Does it always happen? No.

- Do you dress your best?

At the beginning of every event, yes. If the event involves any pvp then pvp attire takes precendant. If its just killing NPC's then my RP clothing is high lvl enough to be fine.

- Do you participate in-character?

In a event I am always IC, the only places during an event I am not is when tells are used OOC with me or FC / TC for instructions etc.

- Do you show respect to all those in attendance?

Yes, however that respect can be quickly lost if they act in a manner I would deem unappropriate.

- Do you respect the LE character (or LESIG) present?

Always treat the LE or LESIG as a LE character with respect and maintain IC with them always.

- Do you scream obscenities, SPAM or act crudely?  If yes, why?

Never, and find it pathetic when others do.

- Do you express displeasure, out of character, while present at the event?  If yes, why?

To a LE or LESIG I never will, but if a extreme situation calls for it then (( )) context will be given in area chat to express my concerns over something.

- Do you leave, if disinterested? If No, why?

I generally stay as long as I can, to this day I haven't left an event unless I've had to actaully log out of game for unrelated reasons. I like to see where a event will go, once its deemed over I leave.

- Do you expect a prize?

You can never expect a prize but if someone did something that was impressive or superior to others then being rewarded for it is always good.

- Do you dress your best?

I try to dress my best the whole time I'm ingame.

 

- Do you participate in-character?

Same thing goes for being IC. It's just more fun.

 

- Do you show respect to all those in attendance?

Usually, unless showing disrespect would be appropriate IC. Void doesn't care about most people, though.

 

- Do you respect the LE character (or LESIG) present?

Same answer as above. Yes, unless it's appropriate not to. I recall an event where players were encouraged to insult Anome in order to goad him into attacking. That sort of thing.

 

- Do you scream obscenities, SPAM or act crudely?  If yes, why?

Nah. Not in my character to do that. Note that I'm not against screaming obscenities or acting crudely (though SPAM is always lame) if it's for IC reasons.

 

- Do you express displeasure, out of character, while present at the event?  If yes, why?

I try to stay away from making OOC comments in Area chat. Especially during an event. It looks better when Rarebit publishes the screenshots on DN1.

 

- Do you leave, if disinterested? If No, why?

I've been known to walk out of an event if there's an IC reason for doing it. Void's not a "chase after that guy" kind of guy. He'll wait until the guy wanders into him. And then usually kill him.

 

- Do you expect a prize?

What constitutes a prize? Some tangible good? Nah. Recognition by those elements driving the story? ... One can hope.

Though I wouldn't say "no" to some Perpetual Code Eyes up in here. SMILEY

- Void
