Honestly, I don't care about bonuses, etc. And I'll support just about anything that promotes good RP. I just have a problem with it, well, for a few reasons.

The Server Rules covers strange body parts, obviously. So it looks pretty odd, both to new and old players, when that rule is arbitrarily bent without any kind of explanation to the general population.

And it does have to do with this thread, at least in that this thread states that races such as vampires, werewolves, etc. are not allowed. But who cares, move/delete this post if you want.

This is not an attack, I have no beef with the people involved. I just think it's BS that one character is allowed to RP something other than a human race, even temporarily, when doing so is expressly forbidden to everyone else.

Fair enough.


The rule hasn't been bent, I'm afraid. That rule is in place because of
people who make characters with wings/horns without DM approval. Just
like you could be a Player NPC that has a name taken from the books,
as long as you have DM approval.


Alexis, with a tail, is not any other race but human.


Well excuse me, it just seems like it.


She's still human.


You could do so if you wanted, as long as you had DM approval.
You could send me an application right now about why a character you
wanted to make had horns. If it was approved, it'd be allowed.

So Alexis is an NPC?

I believe he was meaning the first part for Alexis. :-p

lol... no. I was pointing out that players can (and have, I believe) played
named characters from the books, which is normally against the rules.

Don't worry, Alexis' tail won't either.

Uh huh..

One question, though. When JB said people who were abusing the status of werewolf... Which group of werewolves was he talking about? There were werewolves played at two different periods in time on the server that I remember. I'm curious to as which group he was referring to, or if he was referring to both.

Glad to see you have so much faith in me. >.<;


Mm. Not exactly sure. I have a feeling things went well at first, but things
deteriorated into hostility and fell apart shortly after.

*Shrugs.* Maybe JB'll see this and respond, because I remain ignorant.

I should hope thing went well in the first group, I was in It (Not that I wanted to be at first). I didn't think we behaved too badly, which is why I was curious. >->;

It's still there.. I'm getting annoyed at it.. That post was made in SEPTEMBER. "Last too long" usually is less than 2½ months..

:last too long," entirely depends on perspective.

From one that is eternal a while may be a few life-times. From someone that is old a whle could be a few years. For some youngins a while may be a few minutes.

the tail is part of her story. ( a good one at that) If it bugs you then take it upon yourself to rp with her and try to get the history of the tail(although you will have to dig through the magically induced lies and assumptions) although because of the story I don't know how successful you will be. Thats one nice curse!
