  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

was that a typo, Bus?

yeah, that comes to the issue of how much do the characters know of other characters when it's clear that as players, we know more about others' characters because we get to read their thoughts.

e.g we know that Veslor is in Intelligence employ, reluctantly, but none of the characters know.

I think this...

it doesnt matter, I just felt that Kaelin was being portrayed as something he wasn't...

Isn't he an elf? I think that's what blessed meant, but I'm an idiot...

ALL arguments are bad ALL the time. Maybe we should agure about it! No, that would just leave you more convinced of your opinion than before. So what will it accomplish?
:sick: :thumbsup: :wave: :kiss: :preach: (SMILIE WAR!)

(SMILIES are pretty! I like smilies!) :sorry: :groupray: :sleep: :doh:

(Though of coarse in invisible text the whole thing sounds so much cooler as if we are all spies and that this is in code ... *cough* of coarse I may be simply insain and all my friends are in my head and i really am no one but some nut walking down a hallway in a state hosiblitle or in Erine Ray (instead of Ezik Ray). But if that is so....then i am a most creative insain person! I know that made NO sense but that is what i say on the smilies issue. Which by the way are pretty!!!)

uh? what i meant was, as players, we all know Kaelin is an elf, but the characters do not know because they've never seen him. Consider the position Kaelin comes at, unless Wymite knows by smell or sound or any other indication that gives him reason to suspect, he wouldn't know Kaelin is an elf (coz Kaelin comes up to him from behind).

Wymite grimaced when he realized the same trick he had pulled on the rude soldier had been played on him. His first instinct was to swiftly elbow the elf in the face, but he realized that there was no way to accomplish that task from the current position without killing the hostage. Out of the corner of his eye, Wymite saw the irritating Bat Turtle, daring to laugh at him when her own faults were much more glaring.

no where did it say how Wymite came to the conclusion that Kaelin was an elf. Now if Mega did explain but it wasn't what Bus planned as an aspect of Kaelin the character.. the safer course is to assume that Wymite has no idea whether Kaelin be dragon, dwarf or sea monster. Provided that Wymite has yet to come face to face with this guy.

wait a sec, another thought just came to my slow brain. There's a difference between the author writing as a voice from the outside versus writing as a character. If we write as a character, then we write according to the knowledge of the character.

back to the RPG though:

Maybe just ask if they're doing anything illegal, ask if they've seen the prince, and go home.

what does Wymite know about Drogo and Veslor? (and one minor thing, Intelligence only recruited Veslor. Drogo kind of came onto the scene due to his curiosity, so if Wymite got his information from someone targeting Intelligence activities, then he wouldn't know anything about Drogo. He probably knows Drogo's name, given the excuse that maybe his contact has given him a list of names of those who are going to the mansion)

and does Wymite know anything about Veslor's mission, hence the prince? um, i suppose it comes down to the specific information that Wymite received, which is up to you, Mega.

I said I was wrong, so please stop pointing that out. :(


*Maldirk escapes from Leighla, Kahmal, and Marie, runs all the way from the forest to Peria, jumps into SS's post as a typo, and gets back before anyone notices*:D

*agree with Bus*

anyhow, you probably missed it, so i'll repost it here:

"what's Wymite gonna do?"

Hunh. Seems I missed that Rosyen post a few days ago... :eek: Anyhoo, the weather seems to be driving Isliel nuts for whatever reason-- I didn't plan it that way; it just sorta happened! I think she's gonna have a panic attack or something if the rain keeps up or she doesn't get a grip on herself soon... the poor dear. :D *grins evilly*

looks like Isliel's gonna lose it in a couple of hours (matter of days for us..) :p

so is Rosyen gonna find what she needs now? or another trip to the library on another day? I'll get a move on Iruen's progress, but that needs a time warp. He and Aronus can't be getting the message so early.

((I'm sorry, I've just been having some tough times. Mostly because I'm stupid and I can't keep my mouth shut. But my best friend reminded me that arguements are temporary and friendship is forever. She says there are alot worse Christians here, even non-Christains...so I guess I'm not exactly the cream of the crop, but I'm not the bacteria at the bottem either.

So I guess what I'm saying is....I'm back. Sorry for my momentary stupidity. Some people stop eating....other's stop thinking ;). Thanks alot Mega...but it wasn't about my writing, it was something personal...but I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought.))
