~ Guide on "How to Role-Play Physics!" ~ Hello there! Today I will teach you how to RP with everyone's favorite topic, PHYSICS! Yes, I know, you all "know how to use physics in RP", but I have seen many not use it reasonably countless times. So, hopefully, I can shed some light on some repeating topics that I find strange in RP, mostly RP fights. -------------------------------------------------------- ~ The Laws of Motion ~ [Just in case you want to brush up on the basic laws] ~ Role-Play Instances ~ Swinging Melee Weapons The first one is probably one of the most misused on the server. When swinging any sword, dagger, or other melee weapons, force is still acting upon the object. Saying an object "doesn't weigh too much" doesn't account for the object's mass and its acceleration which give us the force. In a misused instance, a player might emote something like: Player swings his longsword down at the man, grasping it only by his right hand Then, if the counter is a sidestep, dodge, or perhaps a block, there are two different ways to take this: Player suddenly brings their sword across in the same motion, attempting to slice the dodging man in a horizontal slash Player stumbles forward from the force of their missed attack, having to regain their balance, stance, and grasp upon their weapon After exerting such a tremendous amount of force in a downward strike, you would have to regain your balance before being ready to strike once more. This happens due to the Second Law of Motion. Dodging When in combat RP, one will usually attempt to dodge an attack at some point. Depending on what you emote your current stance is like, you may or may not be able to actually dodge. One thing most Role-Players should know about preparing to move quickly in a fight; EMOTE HAVING A GOOD AND STEADY STANCE. Without this, you might as well be standing straight up and down. Dodging from a crouched or sunken knees position is usually the most accurate. In American Football, players are taught to always be balanced, squared forward, and have BENT KNEES. These points aid in helping a player move quickly and react faster. Take this into Role-Play and you have a stance that can react quickly to another player's attack. Now, dodging projectiles is quite difficult to explain since it usually varies. I would recommend the dodging distance of a Bow to be about 30 meters. For a crossbow, I would say about 25 meters. Make sure to ask for the other player to /roll before actually emoting back since not all players have actually bowman training. BUT, dodging bolts and arrows from the previous distances should only be attempted if you SEE your attacker. This would be the most realistic form of dodging. Kicking Although not incorporated in Role-Play combat too often, kicking is both a useful and dangerous form of knocking an opponent with a solid hit. Kicking is easily one of the most powerful forms of combat. The legs of the normal body are one of the most powerful muscles on the body, and can exert an amazing amount of force. If it is a traditional Front-Kick, always attempt to aim for your target's gut, or solar plexus. When the solar plexus is hit, even slightly, it has to power to knock the air from an unsuspecting opponent's lungs. But, kicking is often a dangerous way of fighting. When kicking, your body is heavily off balanced and can be easily knocked over. Balancing on one leg also opens you up for wild kicks unless you RPly train your balance. Make sure to always kick quickly, solidly, and try not to go for any crazy Hurricane kicks or Round-House kicks, as both are either for show or for quick stuns. ---------------------------------------------------------- Well, that was just a quick and simple Guide for Physics RP! I hope you enjoyed reading it and incorporate it into your next RP combat session.

Minecraft Name: Zilldude Skype Name (This may alternatively be PMed to be for privacy purposes): Skype - Zilldude Applicant Name: Clavonita Bedevere Race and Age: Clavonita is an Adunian-Human girl who lies about the age of twenty-six. What position are you applying for? (Librarian, Maven, Inventor, Analyst, Phrenal): Librarian List any experience you have had with matters regarding that Department: Well, Clavonita was the Head Librarian of the Delver's Keep when she was married to Regent Artimec Camoryn. Aside from that, she has spent most of her life reading and researching her theories. She was one of the first explorers of the North and one of the last to have cancelled her expeditions before the Corrupted were released upon the mortal world. Describe the reason for your interest in that position (>5 sentences): Clavonita has spent most of her life curled up beside a book or contemplating of new ways of thinking. She has always been alone in the world, having only met a few who shared her love for knowledge. With the admission to an academy where she can freely express herself and learn, she would blossom more so than she did for most of her early life. Alongside this, Clavonita has always wanted more knowledge than possible with the current standards of public education. With the admittance into such a prestigious program, Clavonita could aspire to be that which she has always wanted to be. By applying, should you be accepted you are expected to utterly adhere to the Common Clauses. Do you understand this?: I do, and to the letter, might I add.
