First of all, yeah I am! I'm a theatre kid. Are you in CIS? Your guys' robot competitions rock! I was hoping I would find someone in my town who played, we should get together and hang sometime.

Secondly, to Professor Chaos, realistic chat will be awesome once there's the player base to fill it in. It will make the universe seem larger and make community among guilds and regions stronger. However, I think its awesome that theres just a few folks playing right now, and that we can all communicate. More than likely the player base right now will pass on good RP, silly and serious, to the masses, once they join and the game will be funner because of the factions and relationships everyone is building now.

I role-play an alien from a parallel universe, who somehow slipped through a quick rift. See, the peoples of my race look almost exactly like a bear, with slight anatomic differences in that we're really really smart, with technology far surpassing that of humans. Oh, also, we shift genders at will. Yes. Not to mention, I am really really amazing at combat piloting of all ships in the game and kill anyone in any ship! Plus I'm the most famous person in VO! YES! Oh! Oh! And! And! I have an amazing and inspiring set of morals and ideals, which I follow without fail! YES!!!

So THAT's what Trolls look like.

Hey man, there's no call to go around labeling all role-players trolls. If you don't like our style, fine, leave channel 100 or something, but that's just close-minded of you! We role-players bring important things to the community and game, so if you want to be a part of the community, I suggest you put up with it, k?

LMAO. I'm so ashamed of my previous post!

Here is an artists rendition of me in character:
[url=about:blank] Link, because I'm a pretty serious role player, and some people might not understand. [/url]

Edit: Leber, you should be ashamed. But don't worry, we role-players in BLAK can look past this obvious provocation, provided you don't ever do it again. Just be careful! We don't hand out second warnings!

Oh, it didn't? Alright, I didn't really want to post this cause it's really big, but here goes anyway
no link

Edit: Just in case, here's a slightly smaller version, hosted in a place that should hold for a while:
no link

Um yeah, can we have an edit for that link?
Oct 17, 2006 genka link
There monkeyman, it works now. Or, at least one of the three does. Don't be so fidgety, really.
Oct 17, 2006 Suicidal Lemming link
There. Now none work.

Hehe. Lemming Hast Smiteth Thee!

What can I say, I also sometimes role-play a beaver.
Oct 17, 2006 LeberMac link
True! Beavers are relatively similar to Bears. Can you play transgender beavers, though?
Oct 17, 2006 genka link
Well, I like to mix it up by having a character of every gender, so the beaver character is female only. I also have a secret character who is a male, but that's really secret, so don't even ask.

PS: It's rather offensive to call my main character a bear. He is in fact of the Grolar race, and is not transgendered, but rather gender-shifting. Keep that in mind for later roleplay please.

Okay, I don't want to encourage trolling (especially on my own post) but that last P.S. was really pretty funny, Genka. I had to laugh :)
Oct 17, 2006 Professor Chaos link
Can't see that bear link, but I like the beaver picture. Actually, I've seen that several times, and it's always crappy quality like that (not your fault, genka). Does anyone know where a good quality copy of that picture is?

LeChatlier, that link creeped me out.

Lebermac:
"If thou [...] knowest not how to conjugate in the second person singular, then thou shouldst restrain thyself from attempting to use it. And if thou darest to use the "eth" verb ending in any person except the third person singular, then I spit upon thy verbiage." - Orson Scott Card

After much studying of data, I conclude that genka is actually not a troll, nor roleplaying a troll.

Genka is actually roleplaying Lebermac.

That little red-eyed troll looks pretty gender-shifted to me, genka. Perhaps you should just stick with him....erm... her.. whatever.
