//this is an earlier conversation i had that doesn't have to do with my main issue
King Murdoc - 01/31/2017
couple things
1. i've decided that your flaw should halve buffs/heals from all sources because holy is so uncommon of a move type
2. your basic defense is a 50% damage reduction like everyone else
3. you need to update your sheet with your weapon
endlessblaze - 01/31/2017
I fail to really understand one. I get its probably for balance reasons but it doesn't really fit the character, if his weakness is holy why is everything else going down?
King Murdoc - 01/31/2017
you literally just said why
endlessblaze - 01/31/2017
Uhgggg...I would really rather not spread that downside to other types. It just doesn't make sense. Don't suppose you see any alternatives?
King Murdoc - 01/31/2017
come up with something or take what you're getting
i think i need to look at your revive again too
endlessblaze - 01/31/2017
There's an identical revive someone else already has. I basically just copied it and made it worse (added clause about Holyfire becoming unusable) for rp value
King Murdoc - 01/31/2017
idr what it does off the top of my head
chances are the one you copied needs a second peek too
endlessblaze - 01/31/2017
I'll look at my sheet and try to come up with an alterantive to the debuff thing
endlessblaze - 01/31/2017
What if I further cut the effectiveness of beneficial holy effects? I would prefer not to, but if the alternative is spreading the downsides to everything I think that's what I would rather do.

Of course I think it might be better to leave it as it is now, so we can actually observe him in combat and get a feel for his balance. If he's to strong, then we can nerf him and have an Inuniverse reason
....then agian spreading might be better than cutting it further uhgggg...
This is hard(edited)
endlessblaze - 01/31/2017
Mmmmm
endlessblaze - 01/31/2017
Thoughts?
King Murdoc - 01/31/2017
i feel like you should do what i tell you
endlessblaze - 01/31/2017
Alrightttttt....
Sads
I'll make the change in the morning. I need to sleep now
February 1, 2017
endlessblaze - 02/01/2017
Changes made.
//this is the thing that actually pissed me off

King Murdoc - 02/02/2017
i'm getting some complaints about the overall quality of your posts via PMs
i realize you're doing it from an iPad but there are plenty of people who post regularly with quality from cellphones and such, so could you try a bit harder?
endlessblaze - 02/02/2017
What EXACTLY are they complaining about.
King Murdoc - 02/02/2017
not specified, but i can tell you what to fix: lack of content beyond raw dialogue, generally poor spelling, bad punctuation and capitalization
i don't expect you to follow up with something like stratos's novellas (in fact i would prefer you didn't) but your posts give the impression of not putting much effort in
endlessblaze - 02/02/2017
My spelling is not that bad. I'll give you caps but that's not normally an issue. My iPad should do it automatically but on that editor it doesn't and that throws me off.
As for posting length I don't see raw dialogue as an issue, sure if there's something warranting it, argent will be more physically expressive. But if I try to fluff every post it's just going to become an exercise in seeing how many shapes I can come up with for hellfire and how many different ways I can describe the movement of a tail.
King Murdoc - 02/02/2017
there are a lot more things you can describe
see: almost literally everyone else's posts
does argent emote with his tail? does he speak in a stereotypically childish happy voice, or is his tone more subdued? what's he thinking? does he ever feel afraid when the holy characters around, or angry? Does he find the area comfortable or is it terrifying? etc
endlessblaze - 02/02/2017
That's what (thoughts) are for.
And I don't want to describe how his voice sounds every single post
King Murdoc - 02/02/2017
first of all
(thoughts) are bad formatting
second of all, a character's thoughts don't necessarily describe everything - or even anything - a character is actually feeling
you don't have to describe how his voice sounds, and your generally flippant tone when i bring issues to you is seriously starting to annoy me(edited)
endlessblaze - 02/02/2017
What tone? I'm just saying what I think.
King Murdoc - 02/02/2017
i just rattled off like 5 different things you could do as examples
all i am asking you to do is 1. follow the conventions LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE can follow (including the guy who barely speaks english) and 2. put a little effort into your posts
endlessblaze - 02/02/2017
I'll see what I can do, but thus far my rp experience is limited. So sorry if it comes off sloppy but I'm not going to be a perfect player overnight.
King Murdoc - 02/02/2017
i realize this, but this isnt the first time i've asked you to do this, and i don't appreciate you getting snippy with me because i asked you to do something
endlessblaze - 02/02/2017
I'm not getting snippy
King Murdoc - 02/02/2017
go back and reread some of the prior messages and tell me that it doesn't read as flippant at all
endlessblaze - 02/02/2017
It doesn't to me. But I'm terrible at reading tone anyways.
King Murdoc - 02/02/2017
you keep deriding what i'm asking you to do as pointless or inane
endlessblaze - 02/02/2017
So I'll take your word for it
King Murdoc - 02/02/2017
"it's just going to become an execise in how many different shapes i can come up with for hellfire" "i don't want to describe how his voice sounds in every post" when asked to put a touch of descriptive prose into your posts
endlessblaze - 02/02/2017
Well that's the way I currently see it. But I will TRY do do better at describing feelings and such
King Murdoc - 02/02/2017
let me put it this way
would you want to read a book where the author did everything solely in character thoughts and dialogue?
endlessblaze - 02/02/2017
Probably not
King Murdoc - 02/02/2017
exactly.
endlessblaze - 02/02/2017
Well I'll try to improve but it's to late to think about this tonight, I'm going to bed.
King Murdoc - 02/02/2017
When you join a forum RP, you're writing for an audience
keep that in mind
endlessblaze - 02/02/2017
K
King Murdoc - 02/02/2017
this is
not helping with your impression of flippancy whatsoever
but i need to go the fuck to sleep too
endlessblaze - 02/02/2017
Dude it's 1:54 am.
Sleep is needed.
King Murdoc - 02/02/2017
it's really not my fault if you stay up unreasonably late >.>
