I mean it's common with the medieval setting to dislike them.... but that doesn't mean there weren't any in medieval times! After all, how can you dislike something if it doesn't exist? :>
That being said, I had a gay character on an alt; but he was a gypsy so everyone just thought he was quirky and didn't realize he was gay. So he never died for wearing pink or having long hair.
Just don't be hatin' people if they want to accurately roleplay medieval. It's not like you have to pk to them anyway.

hi do i make a wood elf or a delf
-
so whats with ppl getting banned without an explanation... i've heard of at least 2 ppl getting banned w/o an explanation . . .
-
some of y'all throw around/have thrown around homophobic/transphobic slurs and its really showing...
-

femboys suck and i hate femboys bc they're all annoying and very god awfully annoying (also none of them know how to style a skirt or leg warmers or a graphic t shirt and a skirt or rlly anything) (also they all look the same) (also the majority of them that i've are problematic in one way or another)
-
how do y'all rp for more than an hour...?? like once i get to 45 minutes of rp im pushing it and my eyes get tired
-
whats a cute rp NON HUMAN group to join .
-
this is my impression of a german person on lotc: ja, ich am (insert grossest name u've ever heard here), ich am new to Haense.
-
in this edition theo says BYE BYE to pants and HELLO to the life of a warrior, even though shes only five
-

doing nothing but endless cycle of tavern -> ball -> court rp is boring and CAs like kha/wonk/musin are underrated and it'd be cool and they would been seen more highly if they had their own communities like how elves have cnor, humans have oren/haense etc, but this obv wont happen bc they arent popular/played enough.

pplease come kill my characters

you can also just stop playing characters without killing them off. PKing is final, so think about it carefully before you make that choice. I'm no longer playing my orc Gragmar but she's still alive and happy - just shelved and I may return to her someday. there's nothing wrong with shelving a character either temporarily or even permanently if you're getting tired of them or if you feel like their arc has run its course.
Alternately, you can look for new avenues of RP or a change of scenery that might bring some much-needed freshness to your RP.
I've gotten emotional and PK'd characters on a whim before. I always regretted it. just my two cents.
it's always better to give a character a satisfying ending - or failing that, shelve them - rather than abruptly cutting off their story before it's reached completion.
in the end, it's up to you. but just don't be too hasty.
-
also like... tanith was shelved for 8 years OOC before I returned to her.
I'm sincerely glad I never killed her off because her current arc is so satisfying to me. she's transformed from a faschy bootlicker token minority to a much more well-rounded, well-considered, and well-developed character who is passionate about fairness, justice, and equality.
characters are never "ruined". They can always be rescued with a little change of direction or a new setting or a new outlook.

some of u guys r kinda weird coming into my dms and telling me im secretly a man or whatever.. like ok... focus on bigger issues u freak

@sami03 i've done that before and it the attacker didn't get anything other than a stern warning... literally took a video of it to show i wasn't faking it
-
hot take maybe but banning all minors from lotc won't do anything to solve the problem there's so many flaws w/ that entire idea+ it just feels victim blamey to me, i feel like an investigative restriction would be a lot better but i am in no means the expert on how to solve the pedo issue. in my honest opinion i think we should believe ppl who come forward and investigate said pedo. if they are a pedophile they can be banned and also maybe report them to their country/state police department bc it is illegal!

if you follow the "show, don't tell" rule in roleplay how do you incorporate it? im trying to incorporate it into my own roleplay but im having a bit of trouble lol

Spoiler
recommend checking out this section of this video (and just checking out this channel in general, it's one of my favorites, offers a LOT of tremendously helpful writing/character advice). this guy talks about how the "show don't tell" rule isn't always correct, and in other videos he talks about how it's more important to know when to use show/tell rather just using it at all times. we can just as easily apply this to RP as we can to any other form of writing -
some p decent advice here
it mostly comes down to acknowledging narrative for your character is going to be more real and important to you than anybody else. how would your character really feel? how would they manifest that?
I had an ex who had a big problem picking at her nails whenever she was anxious. It wasn’t something I noticed until i spent a lot of time with her, and that’s something that reflects on characters too. Anethra, my high elf, would pick her nails a lot. It was something I emoted that most people picked up on as just filling dead air for emotes and padding space. But those moments when you’re really in tune with your character and showing subtlety are what’s really special. It’s harder to do on a cooperative narrative like lotc than in books, but it also allows that unique opportunity where you aren’t in control of what other people say.
Garden your character and let them grow. let them surprise you and think in depth about quirks, characteristics, morals, boundaries your character may have. Anethra never once stepped on a gold line because it was morally beneath her. She never let her palms get cut at gates because it’d scar and she’d feel ugly. Whenever someone slighted her she’d give the same smile or laugh. People will follow interesting characters and want to learn more about them. Playing someone who tells you their full story on their skin and name is someone who can’t quite match that because you just kind of know who they are.
some great advice here though and it translates across mediums and types of storytelling. hope you have fun 😊

@ydegirl I hope what I provide may be more helpful & directly related to your question now that you've given me an example:
You need to always bear in mind that, as a player/gamer, you are the only one who inherently has access to "the mind" of the character you are playing. You are telling too much if you are expressing thoughts in your emotes. Emotions and the expression of those emotions are another area where one can go a long way showing, not telling. In the narrative form that LotC has by way of 'character' dialogue & emotes, describing the corresponding body language, facial expressions, and other visual cues of the emotion would be appropriately showing, not telling.
Example based on what you gave: "Wow, here is some text," she said as her eyebrows raised. Her lips curled into a smile.
This example neither describes your character's thoughts (or act of thinking) nor does it make a direct reference to the emotion. The body language & facial expression does the lifting here.
Another example: Mahpiya taps his forefinger against his chin and let out an audible oh.
This example once again lets body language & facial expression do the heavy lifting. Even without context, one can probably infer that Mahpiya is expressing either confusion, interest, or wonder.
I do think that, generally speaking, injecting adjectives to the body language, facial expression, & other visual cues are fine as it is usually done to help the reader solidly "categorize" what emotion, intention, or thought the player means to convey through their character.

tbh to get a spooky elf name just spam like 4-5 letters on ur keyboard
jdyra (it works)

lets talk about how some of u guys steal skins and then act like “hurhurhur its not big deal”
i wanna hear ur thoughts on ppl who steal skins. doesnt matter if ur a skinner or a non skinner
- Show previous comments 3 more

skin theft is art theft, simple as that, especially when the skin is stolen from someone who put HOURS of work into it
while simply using someone’s skin w/o their permission is less shitty than outright claiming someone elses as your own, it’s still shitty
it’s like taking another artists drawing, scribbling over their signature, and reposting it as your own original work
don’t be a lying thieving *****
-
what type of rp groups would u guys reccomend joining thats not human based.... i wanna broaden my horizons.....
-
do u guys remember when everyone would put "le" in front of everything... like i remember ppl saying "le sigh..." and i always wonder if we've regressed as a society or progressed as a society because of that brief era in 2012-2014

Hello @Werew0lf!
1) Please do not tell me what do to.2) If there has been, please link them (if its that one about the Homophobia ICly I'm not counting that.)
3) Reporting Homophobia and Transphobia to mods won't help entirely, but rather just a bit, and I intended on making this post a community discussion.
