Things you have always wanted to see.

[WhiteRanger]

I would just like to hear about all of the things that you fantasize about and think would be interesting or funny to see in game.


One of my many is something to the affect of....

The shining blue-eyed Kuraci exclaims in cavilish lifting a fist: "THE SPICE WILL FLOW!".


But,,,thats just me.

[wizturbo]

I'd like to see a hermit, that lives in a cave, alone, and babbles to himself in his own gibberish language.  He doesn't talk to anyone, he hits people with his gnarled piece of dried out wood if they enter his cave, and focuses primarily on hiding from the sun.

He is not a mindbender, sorceror, magicker, secret northern spy, Templar, raider, ninja-assassin, or in any way special.  He is just a crazy fucking old man, who lives in a cave.


Is that too much to ask?

*jots down the above idea on his list of "Characters to make"*

[Bogre]

I'm going to make a monstrous, slobbering dog-fiend that lives in the Tuluki Ruins. And I'll bet some clan will try and recruit me.

Either that, or have a PC piece of basalt.

[Uberskaapie]

I've always wanted to make a left handed, mandolin burning bard...

[Meatwad]

I'd like to make a female teenager krathi who hunts magickers as part of a secret organization, and then I'd name her after a real life bird.  Perhaps someone will get the reference...

[Jacques]

A templar who carries around a repeating hand-crossbow (if there even IS such a thing) and is fond of pointing it at criminals and saying"Do you feel lucky, punk?" and "Go ahead... make my day!"

(Edited to fix a typo or six)

[Dakkon Black]

A templar with a whole pack full of fuzzy quirri suits special made by kadius that he forces people to wear.

A mindbender that contacts himself and goes crazy from the voice in his head.

A wild child raised by gortoks that comes into Tuluk to breed

[The Lonely Hunter]

Call me silly but I have always wanted to see religion in Zalanthas. Kinda like in the Forgotten Realms after the Avatar Series.

[Anonymous]

Hunter's got a good idea there.  A pair of philosophically opposed cults would liven things up.

[Trenidor]

Hey I did that!

that show from cartoon network..witchhunter or something. i've only seen it once, but i have a mind like a ...uh...thing...with holes...that you drain shit...through it...uh.. nevermind.

[Teleri]

More like, Raven, the half-vampire hunter of...other vampires or cultists or something...from that ridiculous video game named the same thing.  At least, I think it shares the same name as the character.  

She is pretty hot, tho...in a 3-d, fictional character sort of way.

[Khorm]

I think it would be so hilarious if Tek and Muk got married, but got so aroused during the ceremony that they SEX-TOYED everyone to death.  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Bingo! I remembered. Witch Hunter Robin. I'm so right.


Ok. back to the topic...

[Ghost]

I dont know how much it is going to derail, but I have to write this.  After all, it took many sleeples nights:

I always wanted to see an underground organization against the Templars.  Everything is right with that, so why are there none?  (That is as far as I know) You can not believe how many times I have wandered the alleys of rinth to  meet a rebel against the nobels, and templars? What zalanthas (especially Allanak) lacks is that kind of a secret organization, with a bunch of hopeless, stubborn, and harsh people.  
Of course you can say, "You can start it anew" but I cannot.  I dont think I can lead an organization.  I would be much better playing a peon in that.  So someone else should put the intiate.

I have read in several threads, as people willing to see more PK.  Yes, in a harsh world, people should suffer.  But inspite of that "harsh" fact, I think we see more than enough PK.  What I understand from hars is, we should see more -harassment-.  You can beat the shit out of people, you can rob them to their underpants...etc etc...You dont have to kill people, you make them suffer.  There are millions of ways to harass people.  Be it with a raider, or a templar, a soldier, or a mugger.  You are either the suffering, or the harassing.  Now we have conflict?  Now we have struggle?
Of course PK is another way to make them suffer.  But I tell you, I see PK as a cheese way in arm.  Because, it is too easy to have someone killed.  And unfortunately many PKs have the most foolish reasons.  And, there is no glory, no poetic way in PK.  But suffering?  Oh my...  My third character was an elven raider, who after sometime with his raiding party stopped killing people.  Because it was not really fun, just emoting some, walk into the room, spam kill and spam loot.  No.  We were subduing the men, take off their weapons, their valuables, and then beat them unarmed to unconcious.  Take off their clothes and wait until wake up.  Beat them again, or mock them.  Whatever.... Then leave them to their fate, but dont kill them.  Well, it did not make that much profit, but that also did not make us starve.  It was that much of a fun I tell you.
The real IC reasons to PK, well, it is OK.  A master assassin does not leave witnesses behind, but how many people PKing play master assassins?  Anyway..  It is just my opinion.

Now with the harassment, and more suffering, we will return to the underground issue.  Because, as the people are oppressed, they will more likely to be raise against the oppression.  The reaction can be in many way, but my guess is, we will have more reason to have an underground.

I also want to see more PC run RPTs- HRPTs.  With as little imm support, as possible.  I dont think it is that hard.  All we need is the initiative.  The clan leaders, (Well, there have been many posts going that the clan leaders are restricted, and opposing posts to that.  We dont have to go through again all) or people who have the authority can lead RPTs.  Be it the struggle of two city-states, the struggle of tribals..etc...  I can not count you all of the possibilities, but there can be so many RPTs with only little imm interaction.  
(Again, with the underground aganst the High Lord, there will be many more possibilities for RPTs)

I still want to see a PC run tavern also.  That is out of the question.

Well.. There were so many more I would like to say, but let this post end here.  This much of derailment seems enough.

EDITED: To correct some typos, and add a couple of words

[WhiteRanger]

I thought there was already an underground contingent of pc's dead set against the law of Allanak. Isnt it called The Guild? Maybe Im wrong, but I know it is a clan, says so at the end of every weekly email update. Anyways, just trying to help.

The guild is not the one I am looking for.  What I am looking for is, an organization of filthy oppressed against the templars, and nobles.  The guild is..Well, maybe I better not speak of, because it might be IC sensitive.

[Ghost]

The above post is mine.  Just did not know I was not logged.  Sorry for the double post

[Agent_137]

most people will think you are crazy, and maybe turn you in. You'll have a membership problem like most rebel groups do....especially since zalanthians aren't newly oppressed. To them, they aren't necessarily oppressed, they are protected from living in the desert.

To view yourself as oppressed when oppression is all you've known and all your parents and their parents have known...you have to be a visionary. Hard to find visionaries when people are starving. Most of the visionaries would be nobles and templars...with full bellies and free time.

If i saw a rebel group of filthy people, IC id think they were crazy. OOC i'd think they probably are letting western ideas poison their characters.

Now, take a righteously-minded noble or templar who wants to overthrow tek and bring freedom and hapiness and strength of the people of allanak...-that's- plausible, if exceedingly rare. He'd be a strong nationalist, hate tulukis and loving all the people of allanak with his whole being. He would also have to hide all these feelings from his peers.

I'm sure there are a couple of other plausible paths....people who feel extra-wronged, victims of a templar's arbritary evil will....but just be careful and remember that most everyone is happily oppressed.

[Ghost]

I agree with the statement, that most people happy with the way they are living.  But always, there is an exception.  Someone rebels, and he gets killed.  
Now if that someone manages to survive and find a couple of people like himself, and if those men -achieve- even a tiny thing, that makes invitation to a couple more...  If the group succeds, someone else watching this joins in.

Dark Sun has rebels.  There are many groups of people against the sorcerer kings, and two of the sorcerer kings have been killed.  The rest are fearing the -heroes-.    
Now I dont think that there will be some freaks to overthrow Tek.  Nor will they be enough of problem to make the templarate fear.  At least not yet.  But I would like to see some freak beginning this.  This promises a lot of intrigue, struggle, conflict whatever

[Armaddict]

The guild isn't what he's describing, but I won't go into detail why.

The real clan he's looking for is the ALA.  Unfortunately, it's been closed to players for some time.  It's a fun clan, though.

[Cenghiz]

I would just say simply "ALA"... Closed? *shrug*
There's one thing I'd like to see. We we're chattering about it in IRC. There should be a way to humiliate people... Badly.. ARM style humiliating wouldn't be tar and feathers, of course. In some old traditions, the liars were seared on their foreheads, showing that they were cheating people. Maybe we could force people buy a pissing jozhal tattoo on their face, when they really dishonor themselves. A raider could be forced to wear gith clothes and wander the whole city before being thrown into the arena. A dwarf could be forced to wear a wig. I don't know... There should be something humiliating people. Even being tortured by a templar's something you can tell people with a chuckle after the pain's relieved. There should be a specific form.
........
I also want to see funky orgies but I can live without them..

Cenghiz, who's never serious 100%.

[EvilRoeSlade]

You clearly have no idea what it's like to be tortured, and thus aren't roleplaying it accurately.

[Cenghiz]

*chuckle* Let's stretch RP muscles.. No, my two chars have been tortured, one has deserted Allanak and the other's ideals about other humans and mercy has changed critically. Prolly the second torture and incoming events have earned me a karma point.
But it's not coded or in the help files, so people do the 'chuckling'. They may. I can't see what's in their minds, I can't know if they're typing four depressive 'think's in between our 'talk's.
I also want more torture, but I also want a 'registered' humiliation, which is written in helpfiles as "The worst humiliation that can happen to a person."
I hope I could clearly express myself. Sorry, my speech of English is still rotten.
