Powergaming/Metagaming/Powerplaying

[Sprolf]

Also, Akura, that isn't powergaming.
That's metagaming.

Powerplaying/playermodding is forcing others to go along with your story, or influencing their characters (i.e., killing or wounding or making them speak) without their permission. Powergaming is saying "I'm emperor of Sirius and I have a Venator and I kill you."

It's 4:15am...


And I'm surprised this thread lives.


But you're right....

[Errant.Venture]

Its still powerplaying. Not only because of what was posted, but because he/she/it already has control of a completely neutral faction...and destroyed said faction.

But Yus...We should all go out now and post about our royal pasts....who knows, maybe The Joker is a Nomad King, who has just been posing as a pirate, to show sirians how dumb they really are...

I know I will most definitely put in for the Prince of the blood dragons, and also as the illigitemate son of the BHG Leadership, that way I can fly a Mako with Kusari Dragonflys.....

Powergaming sounds fun!

The reports of my trying to imitate the revered Michal Golanski are greatly exaggerated...my avatar should prove this.

You're rather hopeless.

Maybe it's that time of year to put those Admin NPC's into play...

Also, Sprolf... best to tune down the neck-snapping, people on the server -even- when I come onto the server expect a lack of 'real' reality to cut off the edge, it really can come down as a stress reliever, but the system goes against itself when you got -these- kinds of threads flaming.

Uh, Cameron, that would be if it hadn't been planned from the beginning or agreed on by the Gallic royalty.

Cameron, read the above quote. Exile, who plays the King of Gallia, and Thomas, who plays the Prince of Gallia, as well as the entire GRN| player faction, knew this and agreed to it awhile ago. Furthermore, Aurelia is already a part of the GRN| player faction.. So don't try throwing powerplaying at me.

Its still powerplaying. Not only because of what was posted, but because he/she/it already has control of a completely neutral faction...and destroyed said faction.

Now this makes me laugh. The last few months I've been stopping the faction from being destroyed and now you're accusing me of destroying it?

First off, something like this won't destroy the faction. In fact, its most likely going to boost activity among the Zoner players. If I though doing this would 'destroy the Zoners' I wouldn't have done it. Furthermore, if you knew what was actually going on with the Zoners you wouldn't think this at all. My advice; Don't try to talk about things when you don't have any information about it.

But Yus...We should all go out now and post about our royal pasts....who knows, maybe The Joker is a Nomad King, who has just been posing as a pirate, to show sirians how dumb they really are...

Go ahead and post your royal past.. As long as you get the other royals of that family/faction to agree to it and allow it. That's something I did before putting any of this in place.

In conclusion; Learn to ask, not to assume.

You're rather hopeless.

Oh soz your majesty,

I guess you want it to be off with mah head now?

Everyone hated what you did with the zoners...in my opinion you killed it. Now your gonna be Gallic Royalty? How many Gallians do you think are jumping off buildings right now? Or slitting their wrists?

Soz if I am the only one seeing how contradictory your being...oh but wait we are off topic...your post must be scrubbed.


Edit: Oh soz again your majesty,

I take it the Zoners are jumping for joy over this:

Lastly; I'll have a new Zoner character, though as you may imagine, I'm resigning from the chairperson position in-RP immediately. And as soon as I'm done with the negotiations between the Zoner factions and CoZ I'll be stepping down from it OORPly as well. My new character will start from the ground up.

This was about powerplaying, powergaming, and metagaming...

Lets get back on topic. Refer to this bit of royal decree when continuing this thread:

Aurelia leaned back in her small office chair, rhythmically tapping the arm rest with her fingernails, trying to think of how to begin...

"Zoners, and other Sirians this message is bound to reach, I wish to apologize to you, and to tell you what I've hidden for the last thirteen years." Aurelia smiled nervously, "it's ironic really, given what has been said about me these past few months since the schizm created by our two different ideals of what a Zoner is."

She let out a sigh of resignation, "I still can't think of how to say this, so I'll just be blunt with you. I'm a lie. You know me as Aurelia Silvan but my true name is Aurelia DeFrance. I'm the eldest daughter of King Louis DeFrance of the Gallic Royal Family. I'm sure many of you won't believe this, either because it sounds ludicrous or for a myriad of other reasons. Granted, a well-known Zoner leader isn't who I'd suspect of being part of the royality of a house monarchy. But then, that was the point."

She smiled mockingly, "I've been called the 'Queen of the Zoners' before, but Princess would be more appropriate. 'But why would a member of the Gallic royal family be in Sirius? And masquarading as a Zoner?' Well, that would be because, unlike other children of privilege, our future leaders aren't raised in plush palaces tutored and pampared by servants. How can a nation rely on someone to lead them after the King's passing if she has no idea what the real world is like? How could they rely on someone who has yet to live in the conditions the common person has to endure throughout their life?"

"A proper leader must be raised in conflict, even if it means their life is threatened from time to time." She laughed, "besides, it was quite amusing at times. Watching how you people argued and fought over the pettiest little things. It's a surpise Sirius hasn't devolved into total civil war already. So, were the accusations that I had lied to the Council of Zoners accurate? Well, yes, it would be, though not for the reasons the Alliance thought they were."

Aurelia dropped her smile and straightened her back. "If the Zoners are to live through what is to come they must change. You have spent more time quarraling with each other than fixing the problems that caused those arguments in the first place. You need to face the fact that the people of Sirius view you as a joke. A weak group of pacifists too afraid to defend themselves or enforce their own decisions if it means making someone angry with you. The galaxy is not a friendly place, and nothing will last if it isn't fully determined to survive no matter what it takes. This is a lesson the Zoners have yet to learn, and until they do they will forever be Sirius' punching bag. Take the last advice a liar has to offer you."

Fine fine, now the rest of us Zoners can get on making money without you to create chaos.
Troubled times are over!

It's hard to cut off what isn't there.

Everyone hated what you did with the zoners...in my opinion you killed it. Now your gonna be Gallic Royalty? How many Gallians do you think are jumping off buildings right now? Or slitting their wrists?

Are you referring to what I've done as Chairperson or what I did by my recent RP announcement? If the latter, 'killed it' isn't the response I've gotten so far from the other Zoner players I've talked to. I've gotten compliments so far. And Gallians slitting their wrists? Well, none hate the roleplay so far, and they've known about it for two weeks already.

Soz if I am the only one seeing how contradictory your being...oh but wait we are off topic...your post must be scrubbed.

What am I contradicting?


You still have yet to show how I've powergamed at all.

This is not a thread. It is a battle in the Flame War.


#1 I think this is heading to Flood.

#2 I think a demotivator should come up in a while...

#3 I think go get off this thread and go vent by writing some RP thing OR shut up and start RPing' for once instead of WASTING time mutilating each neck you see.

Move to Flood Vote.
