Getting it, and kudos

[Samoa]

Every now and then a thread comes up that more or less asks... "When did you 'get' it?  When did the game click for you?"  Well.... this isn't one of those threads.

But, what it is, is a thread to ask.... who helped you do it?  What people did you interact with that made everything 'click' for you?  Who really brought you to an awakening that there's actually a whole world out there, and not just you and the room you're in?

For me...

Kholdarian Oash
Koeishna Oash
Ihsahn Kasix
and
Shylon Borsail

What about you guys?  Who do you owe it all to?

[mansa]

Marius Tor.
Harik & Adea.
Merchant Giselle for Kadius.
Radoon.
Tor Dwarf Kirn.

And my computer teacher, Olafson, who I've made lots of characters to be his lackies.

[Kronibas]

Berlian Lutalo
Kroz
The Bushman

[Bakha]

Kieran Kadius
Gerrol

Filthy bastard.

[Elzocone]

Berlian Lutalo

[Fedaykin]

Radoon.
Medichi Kadius.

[Laeris]

For me:

Alkyone
Rhydun
Tascha & Takryn

[Marc]

For me:
Tascha & Takryn

Mmmm... Someone from the imm community admits they "got it" from those two.

Nothing like netsex before the revamped emote system:

the bronzed swordsman fondles you.

You say in sirihish, pointing madly at the ridiculously skinny woman:
    "Not me! Her!"

[Vositus]

The character who helped me out is still alive

Ok so yeah there is another so I'll say it, but If your still alive PM me or something so I can take it off real quick-like :?

Sargeant Haldane

[John]

Red (the one in charge of the Red Rose Rebellion )
The guy who dobbed me into a Templar
The guy who just sat there and watched me get carted off
The people who scorned me before I was killed
The Templar who ordered my death



(Well I didn't "get" it with them. But they did make my first impression extremely good I never actually had a "aha!" moment, I've just been slowly getting it with all my characters  :roll:)

Kilashi
Jak
Liss
Berlian

In that order.

[Midland]

Kieran Kadius
Emon



Both of these players I met in 1999 and they were a big influence on helping me learn how to enjoy rp'ng alone. How to think beyond the props that one could visibly see and to use the virtual world more.

This isnt saying that others havent been a big influence since but the post was about whom helped you 'get it'. These two players where the ones that got me addicted to ARM by their fine examples of rp.

I dont know if I should thank them or strangle them for the addiction.  

*wink*

I'm seeing a lot of Kadians (Family, merchants and guard alike) Interesting

[SykotikGith]

I'd have to say for me, that the ones who helped me "get it" were also some of the people that I had the most fun with as well. Not only did they bring the game world to life, they did it in a way that was funny and awe-inspiring at the same time. I only hope that my current ways of RP are a credit to what I learned from them.

And as I know for a fact that none of these people are still alive, I don't feel wrong in listing them by name.

Ceridwen (a good bard, and an even better friend)
Iakovitzes Tor (showed me the true nature of the nobles)
Menolly(an all around good friend)
Willu/Lilu (a great guard, good friend, and her nickname was the best, go "Tits"!)
Reina (You made a great roommate, and I know we all had loads of fun!)
Kojiro (There's NO way to forget him!)
Lord Templar Isahn (a scary guy, a great RPer)
There are some others who I don't know if I can list because I don't know if they are still alive. But for those of you who figured out who I played, you know who you are.

[Dyrinis]

Thrain
Doom
Vis & Wulf (scariest PCs that ever lived)
the magick-weaver guy


Dyrinis

Amurac A'zak
Kojiro Fale
Basil (Great Half-giant Rper )
and then the 'long-haired' noble from awhile back that taught me never to refer to a noble as 'Sir'.

Sergeant Rinhar

[Moe]

Niethan Kurac
Ra
Samah
Thrain Ironsword
Thanos

In order of importance:


Chyra
(thanks for all the great Rp sessions, you really got me to love the game and you're probably one of the best Rpers I've been around)

Brok
(was the one reason I kept coming back to play in the byn, you made the byn enjoyable)

Khalad
(was the dude my first character was friends with, got me hooked on arm)

Bones
(I played with him many times, and he really made everytime enjoyable, dunno if you're still alive out there though)
