I'm going to regret dignifying this drivel with a response.
> I think I remember a certian Imperial Lich admitting to helping a certian Arbitier Lich get an item or two.
It's amazing how the telephone game wreaks havoc with the truth. It would be that the Imperial Lich helped the Arbiter Lich get through a certain area that he (1.lich) needed to go to anyway to get an unrelated item he (1.lich) wanted. . . . thus helping 2.lich reach the location of (but not find) one item. There's just one teeny tiny detail you're neglecting -- and that's that we're talking about an Anathema Lich.
> Now, you tell me how that is good roleplaying? I believe the response was, he thought the Arbiter was an excellent roleplayer. Hahahah, telling people to "fuck" in every statement is the best roleplaying I ever heard of.
Two words: Subjective Experience. I frequently see characters referred to by other players as being good roleplayers, when everytime I was watching them they were talking ooc about their car or homework. Do I think all those players were lying? No, I think they saw a good day vs. a bad day.
> Now, an imperial helping an arbiter?
Anathema.
> Imperial helping someone out of his SECT?
Anathema.
> A imperial not demanding the bloodoath for help. I call bullshit. Yeah, I win!
And I think I'll play the Anathema card again. Beyond all of which we're talking about a very fleshed-out non-generic character who has about fifty pages of story written in the archive to give you some vague clue of the depth of the character.
> The only reason I can think of is someone knew who someone else was. Wooo wooo, way to enforce your own rules immortals! Great example to set guys (watch them deny they know who each other was at the time).
I definitely knew by that time. I also knew a thousand other things that I didn't let affect my RP.
> Come on, just say that same thing you did when you were 5 years old, "it is my ball, so everytime I catch the ball it is a touchdown."
I'm pretty damn sure I never said anything like that even when I was five years old.
>Quit trying to think you had awsome characters and imply that to mean you are just the smartest people in the world. Being great in CF is nothing.
I don't have my self-esteem tied to my performance in CF. Do you?
