Know what I'm done with this argument. Forum arguments are stupid, it's like arguing through the mail.

A few problems I see. Firstly, psychotic people are not individuals in a perpetual state psychosis. They are people that have difficult, if they even can, experiencing emotions like normal people do. They might not feel any happiness at the birth of their child or sadness for it's death. They often have difficulty feeling love and only feel hate for people that directly interfere with their interests. They aren't necessarily violent or even villainous. Business executives are the population with the highest rate of psychopaths. tl;dr psychopaths are not dark people. Not all inane killers are psychopaths. Impulsive criminality is entirely different from psychopaths. 

 

Secondly, guards should be whatever that character demands of them. A duty bound officer of the law all the way down to a jackass drunk off his own power. 

 

Lastly, hell no villains shouldn't expect to lose or expect to win. Villains should be expected to just roleplay honestly and so should everyone else on the server. However, I do let people win for the sake of it once in a while but damn it sometimes I don't want to just throw the match. That doesn't make me a bad villain. This "The job of the villain" narrative needs to stop. 

 

Other than that I agree with pretty much everything else.moo or whatever.

Moo. Anyways, I feel like "lose all of the time" should be replaced with "don't kill if you don't have to." If you're an assassin, just maime the guy and say "this is a message from ......." Killing the guy does nothing for anybody. The victim doesn't learn a lesson, doesn't remember anything, and it doesn't grow his character. Villainy should be about growing characters and providing Rp. If you just take the guy's hand, thumb, toe, or just beat the guy to near death, then his character grows, remembers the experience, and gets the fun of hunting down the guy who hired a hitman on him. Now that's fun. Of course, if you play a villain, yes, you will die. You will lose. Don't ***** about it, don't whine, it's just how things will go. Losing doesn't have to suck. It can be fun too. I think that needs to be stressed to everybody.

In all seriousness though, to be a Cultist, you must be able to accept metagaming.

Sad but true

Here is the key to be a psychopath. LOSE! LOSE! LOSE! All you have to do is act crazy, and LOSE! That’s it!

 

ᵐᵒᵒ This isn't the key to being a psychopath so much as the key to playing a largely inconsequential character whose only purpose is to move the plot along. Honestly, most of the advice feels like you're making tips for disposable ET characters rather than player characters. A psychopath doesn't just "act crazy and lose"; it's beyond me why you'd play someone that was so arrested by their disorder that they can't even function in life. If it's just a character you have on the side because you're bored, that's nice I guess, but that seems like a terribly dull character to play after like three encounters.

So like this person said being a psycopath just means you're emotionless and that you might not know how to react to someone's death. The mental issues wich fit together with the actions described (The knox thing, body-part attachment guy and such) are  Sadism, i guess.. weird habits and probably.. what am i talking about, its mostly sadism wich means a person enjoys hurting people. Just wanted to let ya guys know. Overall gr8 post m8!

 

 

Ok.. now i've just got to come up with a moo-pun.. hmm.. ah yes. What an aMOOzing post... (Yea i stole it, shut up)

      Stein's Final Moments
      Alone, that was the feeling he felt, as he laid on the table in the surgical room in the Hohkmat clinic. Fear made itself  known as well, as he was recently cured from vampirism in that very room. The fear only grew as the restraints seemed to get tighter and the room spinning. Two others made there way in, separate, and at different times. They were once friends, family even if it came down to it. But his actions caused them to forget him as someone good. Hour's passed by as Stein, now called Almer, laid there on the surgical table, waiting for his fate to be decided. The door creaked open and his restraints came loose, allowing himself to sit up. His fate had been decided, the only thing he could do, was make it painless. The choices were simple, die a painful death, or be put to sleep, feeling nothing. The decision was simple, as he took the Nightsap juice given to him.
       
      Before drinking, memories of his life flashed in his mind, memories of his childhood on his farm with his family, that he had forgotten so long ago. Now taking a drink of the juice, memories of his time in Reinmar, the friends he made that grew into a family outside of his original home on the farm. And as he slowly drifted away, his memories were of his new friends, now wishing him dead. The last image that made it's way to his mind was everyone he knew, gathered together. Almost like a final farewell, even though he did not deserve it. As his death drew near a tear rolled down his face, before his heart stopped, his limbs and body turning cold, and his image, slowly fading away, into the darkness, as he drew his very last breath.
       
      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      OOC NOTE:
      Finally, after almost three months of playing as Stein/Njal/Almer, I have finally made the decision to pk him. This wasn't the ending I wanted for him, however this is the ending I am giving him. I am taking this time to thank everyone that was a part of his life, these past three months on the server have been a blast. Stein and myself have made a lot of friends that I hope to keep and play along side them with other characters I make. So for those reading this thank you and to anyone that knows, give a salute as "The Stone Fortress" has finally fallen.
       
      I will now take the time to thank those that have impacted Stein's life greatly @FunkehMelon @melonth @ickyNuN @confusedjester @Rocky_Wolf @SmothBM  @Irishmanmichael  and of course many more that I am sadly too lazy to actually search up and apologize for it. However though not everyone that has impacted Stein's life will be on here, I have not forgotten you and will never forget you. So thank you all for the fun three months, and I will see you all in my next lives <3!
