SWG Tales

9:30pm EST
Dohrain, Talus

Weekly RP social featuring entertainment by the Kreetles.


Alonzo mentioned he had something special planned, and that he really wants a packed house this week.

I was going to bring E-bo tonight but I got some intel from a reliable imperial source that makes me think it would not be wise to bring her. Especially since her storyline hasn't developed to where she could effectively handle a confrontation with her former employers just yet.

So Dr. Obi will have to come instead. Perhaps someone can engage her in some interesting conversation.

Yes, we need to get you "in" to something. Based on what you know about what is going on.. what interests you the most so far? If nothing, then what would you like to see?

I am not sure what to do with the good Doctor. She has enemies but most of them are too busy with other things to consider her much of a threat. Perhaps we can come up with something interesting.

Are any smugglers going to be bringing their gear to the party.. I was hoping to do some shady business tonight..

I thought the Tramel versus Zo incident was interesting.

My only wish is that people learn to act appropriately when faced with a strong imperial presence. The Empire is hugely powerful. You don't slap and spit on stormtroopers unless you are looking to get seriously hurt, or die.

The problem is the lack of consequence in game. A good roleplayer will be aware of the RP consequence and weigh their actions accordingly.

which is why i finally LOST IT, and friggin kicked two people out of ttf and chewed out some others.

I know, I really felt for you Zo. You are doing a good thing by taking in new roleplayers and trying to show them how it is done. Don't lose heart.

Yeah.. it did get kind of annoying... I am a rebel.. and I was slinking in the shadows and trying to keep a low profile..

I had a great little dialogue going with 1 Imperial, and was constantly getting interrupted by a rebel trying to get my overt "friend" to leave..

I'm just glad they didn't bother to check on the body of a certain unarmed doctor who was shot in the back trying to aid an injured party.

I have to tell ya...I know EXACTLY how that goes. We here in Noct have had our share of people who SAY they are RPers, but don't know how to and don't want to learn. We've become VERY selective now...even with letting people take up residence in Nocturnus.

Hang in there...eventually, you get a good group to work with that can help with the new people and get them on the same page.

And it was all off the cuff. Since Raelyn left, I needed another RP'er to "feud" with. I don't know how long we can keep it going, but I have some ideas of things we can do.

This here is one of my largest gripe in the game. This is not the wild west and every individual is not John Wayne. There are many people who play "rebels" accordingly, but the majority of people don't. I remember when the game first came out and there was open war in Coronet with Rebel recruiters everywhere. That hurt. The fact that Rebels and Imps are on equal footing hurt too, but if they weren't, there would be crying all day (remember the ATST debacle?).

Yes, the fact that they've added consequences for slapping Stormtroopers is a good start, but I can't STAND other players spitting/slapping/etc on me with no TEF getting assigned. I can assure you, if you went outside and spit on a cop, something would happen.

All things considered, I thought it was a great night. Like I told Nyase, it could have been better, but it could have been a LOT worse. I have to admit I was laughing my ass off when someone came to collect a bounty on Alonzo, then attacked someone else.

Oh how I hate that! That happened to me too! Next thing I know I've got 3 goons attacking me. It didn't end well for me but at least I managed to return the favor with one of them.

/smile

Sorry about that, but you were aiding a criminal who just attacked a Stormtrooper. You should pick your patients more wisely.

yeah, that was thade, one of the two i booted from the guild and went off on

i apologize, i was trying to get your overt friend to make a report to imperial authorities and was just trying to cover up the incident in that way, then thade decided to harrass your friend, i'm very sorry. He was removed from the guild and publically humiliated though


Also: I really know I'm risking sounding like an arrogant ass here, but just for the record once again (and believe me i'm not try to be an ass i just am pretty sure that's how it will be taken) i have been here since launch, ttf was the first rp exclusive guild, and the guild was formed shortly after launch ( like week 1) we were the first to build a house/factory on talus. So just to set the record clear, if i'm "pissed" its not because i'm new and frustrated at it, its because i've been doing it so long and have to watch the game get less and less RP-like.

Again sorry if i come off as an ass, i know the comment was meant as encouragement for me, but just want it to be clear that i'm well aware of how things are, it just still does bother me
