Dasaria II - A NWN2 Roleplay and Story-driven Persistent World

Title says it all. If you're ok playing the cloak and dager in the back game post here so the assassins guild that I'm sure is to come will know you wont be to upset as long as there is an ic reason for it.

I'm ok if you have a contract out for me by all means take a shot but I do ask there be one attempt per contract. If I beat my assassin then I should have proven myself and if I fall then I don't want more comming to kill me again.

Heh, I'm game, but if you attempt to assassinate me, you better succeed, or i'm going to bake your very soul in the flames of the nine hells. Then i'm going to eat it along with some bacon and eggs for breakfast. And i hope for your sake that i like the taste of your soul! .

I'm up for it. You can freely take contracts out on any of my characters, and you don't need to inform me beforehand that the assassination is going to take place. You'd better bring a few friends and plenty of magical backup if you plan on taking Erik down, though

Ok now things are getting just weird.

Augh.

People.

The entire 'debate' is absolutely ridiculous. Reason with each other on a case-by-case basis.

Trying to generalize all cases of player assassinations and putting a verdict on them is like trying to poo in your own cup of coffee. Nobody in their right mind should do it.


Unless they like the taste of poo.

Do you like the taste of poo?

Yes atharin but remember, the majority of the population is right-handed, which means they are left-brained. Therefore, most people are in their left mind, not their right mind.

Now what was that you had to say about poo and coffee cups?

I have a sneaking suspicion some of us here sympathize with the concept of cap-poo-ccinos.. ha, ha, ha... argh.

Yeah, I got nothing.

This thread is not about debating assassination. There is another one that seems a bit out of controll for that. This thread is about posting if you are ok playing the intrigue cloak and dagger of it game. If you do not want to take part in that please simply don't post. Lets keep this on track so it doesn't degenerate into just another argument thread.

I'm an easy going guy, I like to let things flow like the tide.. much like your tidle!

I am certainly A-OK with it but only if you fix your post to say TITLE.

Ha. you must understand most of my post are typed one handed with a 19 month old girl sitting in my lap singing in my ear.

you can try to assassinate me but you won't, dammit

You may try and assassinate any of my chars, if only I get a tell before. Its for your own sake, else I will cry me a river and drown you in it!

Well actually I would prefer an arrow shot at me a little time before the main attack, that way a tell wont be necessary and I will have a reason to go into battle mode Yeah, give me a warning shot, then you may try and die trying!!

But if I'm sitting down then I'm always AFK and your attack wont count as a "kill":)

Bring it on!

And when the attack is over then I will expect not to be attacked by the same attacker(s) again within that same contract. Those assassins involved will be "dead" for that contracts purpose.. or I will. But you may send other assassins if you got any left

If it should be really fun, then you will have some clues prepared. And each time (if) I kill an assassin I will be given a clue to whom has put a contract out on me That would be great!

This is a good point. Assassins should be willing to RP a bit if they get killed, too. If I peg myself an assassin, I want to be able to search the body and try to work out what's going on. You can also bet I'll unmask him and take a good look at his face. If I see him around town unmasked, then you better be prepared for trouble!

As long as the assassin makes sure that I know he's an RPer and not a random griefer then I'm all for it. People who can't accept repercussions for their actions are just wusses. If you make yourself an official figure or just piss someone with friends in dark places off you should be worried about possible assassinations.

Sure, permadeath isn't in the game but there are still OOC consequences (gold and xp loss) so still hurts a bit.

Also, I'm all for doing the whole thing through RP instead of the battle mechanics. DnD is kind of flawed in the sense that anyone above a certain level will survive a knife through the head due to the HP mechanics, but if you instead RP it out it's up to the person being attacked how he reacts. This won't work on everyone because of the "my character is god" complex some suffer, but (depending on my character) if you can outsmart me through emotes instead of beating me with the somewhat borked fighting mechanics then I'll take the assassination -that- much more seriously.

Dance Battles!! The 80's are back baby! *starts out with a nice wave attack and follows it up with the moonwalk*
