Roleplaying spar and combat damage

[Jingo]

[FantasyWriter]

I'm usually willing to roll with it however the injured party chooses to play the injury. It is, after all, their character's story that they are writing.
That is unless they are RPing differently through Hemotes then their showy emotes are showy-ing. 

[PriestlySiren]

I... was going to post something, but I realized it didn't happen six months ago. Let's just say that I let the code dictate how my character feels. Maybe your head-wound from a club at viciously gives you a concussion. My character's a tough bitch. She'll walk it off after becoming conscious again.

[Asche]

Generally speaking, I like there to be a few emotes in my sparring. I don't have a set of rules though. Did most of the damage I took go to my arm? I grab it, wincing. Did I take about 20 hp from a slash to my head? I'm clutching my face, wiping blood from my eye where you cut my forehead. Did you get me below 50%? I'm slumping down for the rest of the day, taking it easy. I WILL be up the next day, however. I'm a goddamned Zalanthan. Not some pussy ass earthling. I walk out into the desert heat with a loin cloth and kill raptors with bone swords MADE OF RAPTOR. Don't tell me I can't handle a fight specifically designed to not kill me.

Sparring factions have turned me off anyways. I don't need another account note saying I'm not keeping to the sparring schedule because its somehow inconceivable that an alcoholic might skip work to sit in a tavern, so I must be a twink for not OOCly standing in front of a sparring dummy for hours waiting for someone to log on.

emote monotonously swings at the sparring dummy with a practiced swing for the thousandth time today, sprinkling slightly different words to describe the same thing and keep staff happy my RP is at its peak with no one around to interact with.

[MeTekillot]

[RogueGunslinger]

Something tells me that's a very "out of context" reference to your account note, considering staff doesn't give a shit if your character is skipping duties for ic reasons.

   This small, bare stone hall has thick straw pads on the walls, and also
on part of the floor, to provide some small degree of cushioning from the
violent activity normally seen here. Around the hall, a few pairs of rough-
looking mercenaries engage in close-combat drills or sparring. The smell of
stale sweat hangs heavily in the air. A large archway opens up to a larger
hall to the south.

[Brytta Léofa]

There's a reason the Byn training hall has always creepéd me out.

[ShaLeah]

There's a reason the Byn training hall has always creepéd me out.

I got dead in there at least once that I can remember. Cold blooded murder!

* ShaLeah swoons.

[Fujikoma]

There's a reason the Byn training hall has always creepéd me out.

I got dead in there at least once that I can remember. Cold blooded murder!

* ShaLeah swoons.

Someone intentionally tried to kill a PC of mine in there once. Their mistake was not being efficient enough about it. My PC got away and that cost the other PC their head. Never underestimate a resourceful coward.

The other time it wasn't so much "tried" as "did", in front of a large crowd. Good times.

[slvrmoontiger]

And yet, a good number of people run around the GDB saying... "Oh the Byn is the perfect spot for new players." Yeah so you can kill the new players and they get disappointed and never come back.

[FreeRangeVestric]

You can die in any combat scenario, anywhere, and in any clan. Sparring deaths aren't exclusive to the Byn, even if they're (probably) most common there because of the fact that it has a higher concentration of new players.

It is a great place for new players, and old ones too!

[RogueGunslinger]

What Vestric said. The Byn is the perfect spot for noobs because it's got guaranteed interaction at almost any playtime. They also have a high chance of being around other noobs, and learning from their mistakes.

[Narf]

And yet, a good number of people run around the GDB saying... "Oh the Byn is the perfect spot for new players." Yeah so you can kill the new players and they get disappointed and never come back.

I've had two characters in the Byn, and they both did more than a year and we had no sparring deaths during either. I can't imagine they're terrible frequent.

And the other sorts of death were usually pretty exciting.

[Brytta Léofa]

Also, IntuitiveApathy's log is pretty likely noob-on-noob violence. Bad newbies are good newbies' natural predator.

[TheWanderer]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[slvrmoontiger]

Just saying never been in the Byn, never wanted to be in the Byn, never will be in the Byn. I've done well starting as a noob and I continue to do well as an experienced player. The Byn isn't the end all be all of Armageddon.

[manonfire]

My Byn sparring-death experience came in 2002.

dem dorfs, man.

[RogueGunslinger]

Just saying never been in the Byn.... The Byn isn't the end all be all of Armageddon.

Well you wouldn't really know, now would you?

[whitt]

Just saying never been in the Byn, never wanted to be in the Byn, never will be in the Byn. I've done well starting as a noob and I continue to do well as an experienced player. The Byn isn't the end all be all of Armageddon.

Well, at least you don't seem to have any preconceived notions about it.

[Desertman]

Beat me to it.

Guy admits he has zero knowledge about what he is saying as he says it.

Such fail. Much lulz.

[ShaLeah]

I think EVERYONE should do a Byn stint.

[slvrmoontiger]

Well perhaps everyone should to a stint with one of the GMH, and one of the noble houses in each of the cities.
