I realize this isn’t going to get much interest because of the recent uproar about a roleplaying thread, but I just wanted to let my readers know that there won’t be a blog today (Monday). I just finished my homework and I have to get up in a little over six and a half hours, so I’m going to be very soon. Also, I want to make this next chapter a lot better than what y’all expect (no, it’s not crimson balrogs), so I’m putting in a lot of research and thought into this chapter before typing it up.
Now, for the whole roleplay mess. Basically, while I understand what it feels like to lose a something you put a lot of time (three hours of pure typing and two hours of planning/revising due to the glitch), I understand where Captain is coming from. A thread that promotes anyone coming in and adding on to the story like a roleplay does is constantly going to be subject to vandalism. The MMOTales population isn’t completely made up of intellectual literates like the main parents of that thread were; there are a lot of jerks and immature losers. I think Captain had decided to allow the roleplay, despite its risks, but when it finally was desecrated, he decided not to let it go. It’s basically a blog that can be editted by anyone, and we all know how much we enjoyed that. Basically, I feel for you guys in losing all your hard work, but you have to understand that RP’s are unrealistic on such a small site with only one mod.
Note: I love RP’s; they kept me on Neopets long after I lost interest in Neopets itself. I even made a roleplaying forum that prospered for a few years before losing all it’s members to real life problems. I owe most of my skill (however large that amount of skill is) in fictional writing to roleplaying, so it holds a special place in my heart.
Finally, to make this MMO related, (not MMOTales related) I’m so freaking pissed at kandayo prices in Broa. A 35 attack kandayo goes for 20 mil, and a 36 was at 75mil. It’s rediculous; dexless sins just can’t survive. (I don’t want people focusing on this in their comments.)
whoa, tar, ur in broa? and btw, i cant wait for chapter 23
Indeed, DexIessTeIk a 50 Dexless Sin and a 54 Inactive Sin by the name of 0LTelkL0.
I promise you’ll love it, I’m putting a lot into the action part.
I don’t think anyone even cares if it gets posted back up on the site anymore as long as we can get a log of all the posts in the roleplay so we can do it elsewhere. Its just like losing a book or poem you wrote, or a drawing you drew. Its a creative art, a peice of literature, and even if its not officially a story in everyones post, its a story we all wrote together.
hey, would u mind doin ludi pq with me on dexless? im a lvl 41 fighter, lvl 18 rage. its REALLY handy for sins, lol. the name is GIRMonkey, btw.
Not CRogs? What will it be? , OOOHHH it must be another or more dreadeds. YOU USED TO PLAY NEOPETS?! THAT’S SUCH A LAME GAME!
its lame when you reach 10 and realise what you have been doing hfor the past 2-3 years in neopets
i still play it once in a while
XD
@Chronos: >.> Neopets isn’t lame. You are the one in need of the wheelchair.
Hee. I played Neopets too, but now all I do is to update my guild’s layout. 😛 I couldn’t get NP fast enough.
So you think that captain deleted the RP thread because it was a RP? But that’s a rather strange reason. . . There aren’t rules about stuff like that on this site, I think. And any forum thread could be the target of the troublemaker. . . just because the thread got desecrated doesn’t mean that the thread was to blame. Dunno. I’m just really sad for the bunch of them.
I think Neopets is kind of corny. For kiddy kids and stuff.
About what you said about kandayos, for a 36 atk you need like 6 or 7 60%s to work. Since dey don’t drop anymore, people don’t have the chance to scroll anymore, and the few that came out really good are rare / hoarded by the owners. Btw what are your dex equips?
Sorry for talking about that part only -.-
I used to play Neopets, back in 2000, I think it was. xD I used to be in lupe RPs, that’s how I started. Good old times! >w>
At any rate, I suppose that’s true, Tar, but I would think that he could just delete that one comment, ne~?
Can’t make everyone happy.
I’m looking foward to your blog too.

Wyna, I said I understood how you felt, I’ve lost something I put a lot of work in to. What you said in your comment is very different than what I read in your blog -_-;. I think that request is reasonable. As for all the questions about what’s wrong with RP’s: They can be easily vandalized by losers with innapropriate material. If Captain were to allow them to go on, it’d require a lot of attention. If even more sprung up, he could spend almost all of his time watching those instead of the rest of the site. Basically, once the first vandalizing took place, I think he decided not to allow them.
I played Neopets for Neopets until I was 12, and then I just RPed on the boards and in my guild for another year, before screwing Neopets and started my own proboards for RPing with my guild.
