Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion


Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

I've noted the OOC preferances, but IC it made sense to conclude the way the auction did.

You chose to focus on the BDSM halfling over the Undead Loyalty Deathknight, what did you expect would happen? If everyone wants to OOC change their vote now, we can do that, but I want it to be unanimously
 
Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

If everyone votes for Ventus, I will too. But I really don't care too much either way. This probably won't happen though cus Naira doesn't like Ventus as a sexy thing I gather?
 
Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

At this point, I don't really care either way. Ventus is much sexier than pudgy halfling imo. But we're already here, and that would be one big fucking retcon if it did happen.

Dasyra was the first to leave the stage. She was the first to proactively choose in character. She went to Ventus, despite the character's feelings on undead.

It was only after Dasyra and Lorelai had gone to Merrium that it was made clear how you were determining our choice.

I had exactly one IC post between that point and when the auction ended. I made an OOC post explaining, I thought quite clearly, what my preference was and why Dasyra had brought Lorelai to Merrium. My intent was to go back to Ventus, but there wasn't time to RP this appropriately without breaking the mood.

I'm convinced this was a misunderstanding. I would prefer acknowledgment of that rather than saying it was my error, especially in the face of evidence to the contrary.

That all being said. I like BDSM. I'm not displeased with the current situation. I'm only making an ooc note of what I would like to see down the future. I'm not calling for a revote or a ret con.

Also since don't see anything, am assuming the drows not forcing Lena to stay inside.

Yeah, I wouldn't vote for Ventus. Her kinks seem mostly opposite of what I enjoy, and the "eternal undead loyalty" theme is uncomfortable/unpleasant for me due to negative past experiences with it. Given Ventus' popularity, I'm assuming the party will ditch Merrium and join Ventus when given the opportunity, and I'll have to deal with it when the time comes, but it's hard for me to vote in favor of it.

You being unable to have your character roleplay out or even articulate your actual desires is not a misunderstanding. I find kneeling down and going 'plz dominate us' pretty hard to misunderstand.

Your character had been posing for both bidders all along, but finally moved to the halfling, then so did Sophie after which I posted:

Well, it seems 3 halfling, 2 Deathknight, so unless theres a swift change..

After which I got flak from multiple sides, telling me how dislikeable my characters on a sexual basis are, its, to be frank, quite annoying.

A little about myself. I've written erotica for soon ten years and have been making money off of it for the last one and a half year.

If I write a halfling dom, I can write her in such a way that WILL leave you suprised at something small and cute dominating you so throughoutly.
I can. I don't have to and I wont, if I get constant backlash and back push and commentary. I'm doing this for my entertainment as well.
 
Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

If I gave that impression, I apologize. If I said that, I meant from the characters perspective.

If not me then... Well there you go.
 
Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

Eh, just all the negativity makes me sad puppy. You know that this is even at worst the number 2 choice out of a group of 7 doms, now granted, we used a first pass vote system but then again, going by your online times you are mostly americans, so lesser evil is what you want, eh? :p

For what it's worth, again, I don't think Ventus is a bad character. From an outsider perspective, Ventus looks neat and interesting. Remember how you've said you have a hard time dealing with sad cruel RP? Yeah, Ventus kind of touches up on those sort of memories for me. That's not your fault.

For anyone else, I'd almost certainly back out of a theme like that. You, on the other hand, have impressed/surprised me enough with your DMing/storywriting that I'm willing to stick it out in faith that you would make it enjoyable despite the odds I'm leaving you with.

But yeah, I apologize for the original way I expressed disinterest in Ventus, it was thoughtlessly rude, and I let moodiness cloud judgment.

Anyway, Pervy. Just remember these wise words "You cant make everybody happy"

Eh, we should deal with those memories!!

YEAH U SO MEAN!

Anyway, for now, you are trapped in a drow-bondage circle anyway. I can pull away the spoiler veil a little for those that want to and reveal that:
Yes, the hafling truly is an unwilling mistress.. but perhaps not as unwilling as she once was..
The halfling focuses on slave breaking, bondage and disicpline training with toys and various servants.
Ventus by comparison would have focused on romantically tinted noble notions of eternal devotion mixed with bouts of hard to control instinctual lust. While not just stabbing all of you, she might end up fucking someone to death, because thats what she was conditioned to do..
 
Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

I may have been rash in my judgement earlier. I am easily displeased and not too gracious about losing, I admit. That, and Merrium seemed like the kind of character type that I thoroughly dislike, and let's face it. I'm an ass even on a good day. When I find something that sours my mood, I quickly get venomous.

While I still don't find her sexually attractive, mostly because I just don't find halflings in general to be sexually attractive, the recent reveal made me interested in her as a character. I can see the potential for some good interactions and plot, not to mention the conflict between her adopted role and old morals, and want to see where this goes. I'm sorry if I've given offense. It was rude of me.

Heres one thing to ponder about:

If Merrium truly believed what she told you lot, even if she had by now become the very thing she portrayed to be for so long without realizing the act ended long ago, sense motive would not pick up any lies... She did already 'slip up' earlier, after all..

I've been debating with myself how to respond to this, as it seems like we're getting into defensive territory here.

In the end, this is the situation:

>I think I was very clear about things.
>You think I was not clear at all.

That is the misunderstanding. We have had a failure to communicate. Can we at least agree to that and move on?

I like both Ventus and Merrium. For me, I wasn't really bothered by one or the other. In the end, I would have preferred my OOC vote to count more than the IC one, because I had showed (in my mind) equal favor to each of them.

As for what I'm saying now, I'm not giving you flak. I'm just saying that I personally like nice mistresses. From what I know of you, you like them too, so that doesn't seem like a big problem to me.

Like I said, didn't give you any flak. Sorry if you thought I did.

Your creativity and writing skill aren't the issue. No one is doubting any of that.

You're GMing for five people with five different sets of likes and dislikes. And, as you say, you're writing for yourself at the same time. I think we all like your characters from a narrative point of view. Some people were probably just concerned that their favored kinks were not going to be addressed.

I am not one of them, however. 'Dominate me, plz.'

Uuuuurgh, why did you make me choose? Now I have to figure out which one of the others Lily would go for, or what to do exactly. Which is hard since none of the group stand out to her. Curse you, Naira!

On a serious note, if this ends up screwing with her head then she's gonna be a tad pissed with Sophie. I think I have some idea how to play this out, tho.

Anyway, gonna write the post tomorrow. It's late and I need sleep.

Well thats the fun of it, ofc. :p
 
Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

For the players, of course. For the characters, I think it'd make sense for them to be mad about overt mental alterations, at least a bit.

Edit: By the way, after this is done do I give orders to Lena or to Sophie?

Due to a heavy workload weekend, my time will be limited, so my post may be delayed. I'll try posting it when given the opportunity to do so.
