Greetings everyone!
I've added what I'm told is a very ugly theme (I quite like it myself) for the Halloween season! I've also discussed the upcoming event with staff and have gotten feedback from at least half of them, but everyone seems pretty excited about it. So, here's some more information:
Date Of Event's Start *OOC*: 13 October 2012
Date Of Event's End *OOC* HOPEFULLY midnight on the night of Halloween/morning of November the first.
Okay, so what's the event? Things are heating up in the universe. There's a new war being waged against the Anrufe. South, the infamous realm of the dead and home of the wicked in the afterlife, has mysteriously been destroyed. The afterlife is a mess, and the embodiments don't know what to do with the dead now as the Spirit Realm starts to fill up with people in need of judgement. But what happens when there's no more room for the dead?
Prepare for one of the most frightening events of the roleplay as we take horror to a whole new level.

BITCH WHERE IS MY MASQUERADE >:U

What even is a monster masquerade?

FUCK YES ZOMBIES

What even is a monster masquerade?
Everyone's invited to a halloween-ish masquerade. More or less along the lines of The wonderfultastic idea by PythosBlaze. Their event was an inspiration for me.
*EDIT* It was made in DEC 2010. This really doesn't apply to OCT 2012 lol

Hey, remember when Niiv dumped all the tormented spirits of Hell into the universe (Good times)? Did they get put back yet?
-
EEEEEEE!!!! <3 Pythosblaze is gonna join the Masquerade on DA! *excitement!*
She's so chill with the Masquerade! So yeah. Masquerade here would be something nice and nonviolent for once here!

Whoa cares if they gave permission, it's still using someone else idea which just makes us look lame and unoriginal. I prefer K2s event, it may be cliche', but at least it's originally his, and not something he had to go borrow from another user.

Get it through your damn skull woman. Originality is near non existent. There might be another pink haired "Dragon phoenix" sage somewhere. I changed it into a masquerade. It's a total crime that I wanted actual non violent fun for once.
You don't have to join it, but I still would like to have a monster masquerade.

I'm not talking about true originality, I'm talking about 'in the moment' originality. Again, zombies are cliche and far from original. But K2 thought the plot up in the moment using an unoriginal idea. You on the other hand went and grabbed something someone else thought up and dragged it to SP, it's different.
If you DIDN'T then you wouldn't have had to credit or asked to use it. The fact you went and did either shows it was never your idea. Original or not, at least K2s idea was his.
That's like Hawk going and borrowing something from a show/game/book because he 'liked' the idea and using it on SP. EVEN if he had the creators permission, or changed one thing about it. It doesn't matter, sure he could do it, as he has permission. But it still makes us look lame as hell.

The Monster Ball was created in 2010.
I credited PythosBlaze BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT WAS A RIGHT THING TO DO. I didn't have to, but I wanted to. In her monster ball, she credited ANOTHER person for the inspiration of the event with the Monster Parade. Again, Following that, It felt like the right thing to do.
Should I care about hawk's affairs with Iron man, DBZ, Batman/Robin, etc? No. Yes, he could have put more thought into it. But I'm not literally RIPPING THE IDEA. IT's not copyrighted. It's on the internet. It's perfectly fine with Pythosblaze for me to do it. She's not screeching like you are about it. Stop making a bi deal about it and let me have fun on this forum, Miss Uptight and Set-In-Stone.

To me your post sounds like agressive accusations.
-
My post was simply saying it makes us THE ENTIRE FORUM look lame to use an idea of someone else. ALLOWED OR NOT. No matter if you changed it, the fact that it was an idea passed around with small changes here and there recently (2010 is still recent) makes us look lame that we can't come up with our own crap.
It makes it mainstream, which is just ugh.

I kinda thought this forum was lame to start with. You know, 5+ years of fighting? YAAAAAAAAAAWN! We need something that doesn't stress people over losing a territory every now and then.
-
If you don't like fighting, maybe you should never have joined then? WTF do you think this RP is? PLAY BY POST NATION-BUILDER, Fantasy and Science Fiction Themed.
First you get on our case about being fantasy with Sci-Fi and not being 'realistic' now you want to say the entire foundation and reason SP is even here is lame? Fighting is how this damn RP started, it's the entire point of this RP (taking over territories in fights, and 'winning it all') and the main basis of being here.
Sure, there's character development, side plots, events, and SOME peace, but you can't just ban fighting from an event IC because you think it shouldn't happen OOC. The entire board is NATION-BUILDER
-
Nation builders aren't always going by military means. Some go financially and others by unity.
Nah, I'm just repeating myself. Personally, I'm only here to roleplay with awesome people like blade(and others who left because this site bores them). Fighting is not the base of the roleplay. I thought it was NATION BUILDING. You could buy a territory from another empire. You could form alliances and/or unite with nations. Just plain fighting is boring and you should feel boring. /shotformemeuse.
I'm not banning fights IC? I'm just saying I want the masquerade to be a nice atmosphere before someone shoves a barbed pole up their anus? And again, nation building RPs don't always have constant warfare around.
-
Afraid I agree with Swift here. There is more to a Nation Builder than all the warfare. I think we could use a nice, peaceful event like this.
-
Okay, here's what we're going to do, guys. There will be a monster masquerade in the event. There will also be plenty of ass kicking zombie time for those who like that better.
-
You're going to use someone elses off-site idea? Lame, very lame.
-
You're going to use someone elses off-site idea? Lame, very lame.
I'm going to use the idea and add my own twists to it to make it my own. Don't like it? Don't participate. Simple as that.
-
Nah, I'll just crash it. To ban fighting would be metagaming.
-
The whole ban fighting thing is to prevent assholes from ruining the event, and thus everyone's fun, like they did False Heaven. It could be held on a planet that doesnt allow fighting like that one we had... Magimeta?
-
Magimeta had a reason it was like that, another planet would have to make sense IC.
Also, you're just holding a grudge for your conference event thingy.
Even in movies, if something is 'peaceful and fun' someone is always going to try to crash it.
That's what makes things interesting in fiction.
-
You're going to use someone elses off-site idea? Lame, very lame.
It's not stealing if the creator is cool with it, honey <3
OH And it's against the Policy in the Masquerade to cause harm.
Totally forgot to quote from the deviation:
-In formal clothing. Guys, think Classeh.
-Holding or Wearing their mask.
-YOUR CHARACTER. You can't use someone else's. You can draw someone else's character with your OC as long as you have their permission.
-Poses can't be too wacky guys! Try to be formal!
-Submit as many characters as you want, but again if the character is not yours: Make sure you have the owner's permissions!
-Gore/blood is allowed. It's near halloween after all! But "attacking" other characters is not allowed.(This includes attempting to terrorize the event)
-No explicit material. This means no nudes and no sexually related images.
-Comment here if you want your character in the Masquerade. Please give me the name and Height for each of them.
-Submissions end on the 23rd of October(Two weeks)

Actually, I completely agree with this statement. It's hella lame that you guys wanna reuse my CE event from last year, without my permission. Space zombies was my thing.
*Goes on to reference Reevers from Serenity, Necromorphs from Dead Space, and whatever the zombies in Doom are called*
If you're gonna re-use my idea, adding the single adjustment of slapping on a tagline stolen from Dawn of the Dead (when there's no more room left in hell), at least do me the justice of crediting me.
(For the record, this isn't entirely serious. I don't actually think K2's stealing my idea, and as I pointed out, space zombies wasn't an original idea when I did it. Just making a point. =D )

Lol Dylan. You silly derp you c:

Did I use the word 'steal' in that sentence at all? No. Therefore you need to get your eyes checked or learn to fucking read.
And it doesn't matter if it's against policy, doesn't mean characters are gonna follow it, if certain ones have to be played to their personalities.
And you can't OOC chose who's in an IC event, or it is clearly metagaming

You refered to me "stealing" the idea several times. "using someone else's" refers to theft/stealing. Therefor, you need to get your brain checked for knowing similarities in phrases.
It's against policy for a good damn reason. You cause an upstart and I'm calling you posts null in the Masquerade. It's not metagaming if it's a rule for the event only. So shut up and suck it up.

No actually, 'using someone elses,' can also refer to copying, not stealing. I'm using it as copying as in being unoriginal to go and use SOMEONE ELSES idea. NOT stealing. So it's you who needs to get your understanding of the damn dictionary checked.
Uhh you can't? If IC say said character infiltrates and later crashed it, you can't just ignore the posts like they never happened if they IC can happen otherwise it is complete metagaming. So is choosing who can and can't enter OOC. If characters have it in their personality to attack, then they damn well can, whether you like it OOC or not.
OBVIOUSLY you don't know the definitions of fucking metagaming.
-
Copy->copyright claims(not on this lol)->Stealing.
It's not metagaming if it's a rule set for that event. Shut up and face it. You're just being the only one who doesn't want a nonviolent event.
Events may or may not have rules. Plex has rules. I know it's different. But it was an event with rules. The masquerade is also an event with rules. Follow them or stay out
Can I sleep now? I need to wake up in five hours
-
...Just because they have rules IC doesn't mean they can't be broken IC. You just have to stop said character from breaking them through fucking IC methods not OOC methods. Ignoring posts or nulling them is OOC methods. You still miss what metagaming is.
And Copying =/= Stealing, depending on the context.
-
Look, bitch, I wanna sleep. So shut up and suck it up. I want a peaceful event to be 100% peaceful and stress free so dumbasses like you can't kill fun. Okay? I don't care what your reason is anymore to be a party killer, but you're not gonna pull it off. I had rules set for the event. They're not meant to be broken. I just want people to have fun instead of constant warfare. Is it wrong to throw something of class and amusement instead of another stupid fight for another stupid power/title? According to you, yes. But as far as I've seen on my poll, 5 people said yes to a nonviolent event. No one opposed it. You don't really have a say since it's a 5-1 score.
-
Look, bitch, I wanna sleep. So shut up and suck it up.
Sorry, I don't take orders from anyone, try again.
want a peaceful event to be 100% peaceful and stress free so dumbasses like you can't kill fun. Okay? I don't care what your reason is anymore to be a party killer, but you're not gonna pull it off. I had rules set for the event.
Again, OOC rules do not equal binding in IC. Either stop them IC with legit reasoning, or don't start crying when your damn event is crashed because nulling is metagaming.
-
Oh just shut up so I can sleep. I have a life unlike you. And I don't want to fall asleep in my classes. Kay? Unlike you, I actually want to succeed in life?
I have. Legit plan set with Dylan already.
And I know you're just PMSing again. So can you like... I dunno... Stop boring me and take that barbed pole out your ass? It'd stop spamming this topic and everyone can move on with whatever life they have?
-
Oh just shut up so I can sleep.
Again, that is an order, so, no.
I'm just pointing out, you can't control things OOC to your every whim, because IC anything can happen to make anything fucking change. That's how roleplays work, accept them or GTFO.
-
Alright. Lets calm down ladies. You both are acting like kids, so either talk like adults, or on PM. Otherwise, i dont want to see another post about it.
-
Thank ye captain obvibitch. I'm not banning your op characters am I? Then I'm not metagaming. Setting rules for said event applies IC. You aren't allowed to start something. Why? It's not formal. It shows immaturity. It shows how unprofessional one is. That's why I said "You can't terrorize the event". Because I want a calm and classy night.
Now I'm gonna sleep. Assuming hikaru can stop whining over nothing

But unless you stop it IC, those rules can be broken, simple as that. So 'not allowed,' honestly does not apply to the minds of some.
-
I just want a pleasant evening roleplay here as do many others. So just stop already
-
Not until you admit that events can be broken. Lyoko wanted a peaceful one too, did he get it? No. Anything IC can change events. K2 has made several events throughout the RP but just because you plan one doesn't mean it's going to go the way you want it to when it's the characters joining that make the event, if some characters don't want to play by your damn 'rules,' then FACE IT unless you're SUPER HIGHLY POWERFUL to stop them, it's gonna be crashed. There is NOT A FUCKING THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT OOC
IC, yes, OOC, no. So for you to sit here and be all "Well I'll just ignore your posts," is fucking pissing me off, because that is the very definition of metagaming which I DETEST.
-
Hikaru, Warning. I refer you to my previous post.
-
Im having the last word. Take it somewhere else. You both were warned. Get over it people.
