Man, I don't even know where to start with Tywin's post. Shit.

[Alice]

What are you having trouble with? Maybe we can help you. Because I understand your pain all too well. ^^" But yeah, sometimes talking it out or bouncing ideas off of someone can help.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Yeah, I know - and I'm up way way too late, It's like 3 AM here. God damn my midnight grocery runs to avoid traffic.

[Alice]

Get some sleep and worry about it later then. It ain't worth your health, after all.

Something something - daaamn, Lyco is apparently really good at distractions.

Team Ireland strikes again!

[Arch-Magos Winter]

OK, can someone give me an idea of the fuck just happened in Lantz's post because apparently it's fine for Satoshi to take AM prisoner but when Law attempted the same thing he gets kicked in the head by Connor? And the fuck is up with the Jeepers Creepers name drop?

[Lycodrake]

I don't even know what a Jeepers Creepers "rolling board" is.

[lantzblades]

A rolling board is a board with wheels that mechanics use to move about underneath a car. Given that forest has a number of cars I assumed she keeps up maintenance on them and a rolling board is pretty basic stuff.

Jeepers creepers is just a common brand, like snap on tools or ford

There's a bit of a difference between weakening her so she can be kept prisoner in a room and shoving her in a jar to be stored until Law feels like eating her....

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Not really, and considering the shit that Law went through when he ate a little of her he'd avoid eating her in full.

Besides, she's still trapped either way isn't she Mike? Its' just that one way isn't under lantz's ultimate control and can't be used to justify her sucking satoshi off or some other bullshit.

[lantzblades]

Forest said prisoner and it's her house, Satoshi has to because he needs to fulfill his oath.

secondly, law's way had no possible character development. That's the key difference between that and this.

[Cherry Lover]

Perhaps, but she's still complately unable to do anything whatsoever.

Besides, she's still trapped either way isn't she Mike?

She can still act, though, and interact with other players. She's stuck in a room, but she's not out of the RP like she would have been with Law.

Its' just that one way isn't under lantz's ultimate control and can't be used to justify her sucking satoshi off or some other bullshit.

Well, yes, but that's the point. Lantz is making a decision to allow Angra to be limited in a way he is comfortable with, as opposed to you trying to force him to take limitations that essentially make her unplayable. Lantz never said "I will never let Angra get trapped", he just did not want it being done the way you were doing it, which gave him no ability to RP her and no control whatsoever over her situation.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

You know, I've always wondered with Character development, because some of these other characters have had actual development in the RP... while none of Lantz's have shown a smidgen of it. For that matter, Angra could still interact with others in that bottle - she just couldn't leave it. She's just as confined as this room, and possibly has more opportunity for character development, far more.

[lantzblades]

Given the events tied to my characters they haven't had anything to learn, at least nothing that puts them outside of their respective mindset, not yet anyway. So there hasn't been a trigger for development for them.

They've all reacted to things but they aren't facing the "earth shattering" stuff the others are. I said it before, in order to get my characters to "learn their lesson" you have to actually convince them that they are wrong. Thus far I've seen no convincing evidence put forth by the characters, so mine remain steadfast in the belief that they are correct in their intent.
