bluebell noelsaidI have shortened the log a bit to make it easier to read - and if anyone wants the combat guide please IM me inworld. [2014/01/25 14:00] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): first of all I ' ll hand out our infamous freeform combat guide - would be nice if someone could give it to newcomers, too. [2014/01/25 14:02] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): Thank you all for showing up - Blue is not really a combative character, don't expect me to have many tips for how to win a fight - I am more an expert for losing gracefully. [2014/01/25 14:02] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): But that's the most important point anyway, fighting is not about winning, is it. [2014/01/25 14:03] Amber Sinclaire (paige.morane): that's right. the fun is in the fight itself [2014/01/25 14:06] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): well, let's start - i ll talk a bit about the points in the combat guide, if you have any questions - just ask. [2014/01/25 14:06] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): One of the more common OOC problems we have - characters who write themselves an almost invincible background. [2014/01/25 14:07] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): Not to be misunderstood - people -can.- have extrordinary skills [14:15] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): Next point - the basic combat posting rules. Common practice is - you have two moves per post round ... [14:22] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): it's just rp, work it out through ims but be courteous, it's like the magic rule for everything when it comes to fun rp [14:23] Emmy 'Candy' Auteberry (nonois): 99% of the cops i have rpd with are pretty damned good at taking the injuries they give out. [14:24] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): they better be, and if there's issues you can't work out - nc them to me please [14:24] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): whatever happens, don't take it too seriously. -NO- conflict is worth to get all upset. Take a deep breath, go to IM, and if it gets strenous, - contact a mod. [14:26] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): yeah, definitely, if a mod gets called in, view it as a way to save your hard earned rp [14:29] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): So - if you have a weapon, no matter what kind of weapon, you will need one emote to draw it before you can use it. [14:31] Will Rock (thewilliamrockefeller): so identifying it's in your hand and attempting a swing, slash or shoot would be two right? [14:31] Sais Cynbel (sanosuke.gartner): If you had something like a kbar a fix blade in the sheath but you had your hand on the handle it couldn't be a draw and random slash then back to another slash because the first would be pretty fluid? [14:32] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): two emotes, yes, will. and no, sais. being fluid or physically possible doesn't count. it s about giving your counterpart a possibility to react. or even to back down if they don't want to get into an armed fight. [14:33] Sais Cynbel (sanosuke.gartner): okay [14:34] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): that's another point, i think an important one - combat is fun, but not everybody wants to rp it. sometimes people have valid reasons to avoid a violent scene, not enough time, or they just spent a week in hospital rp, whatever. give them a chance to walk away [14:35] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): that goes both ways of course [14:36] Tristan 'Phoenix' Moravian (asher.corvale): an issue 75% of men struggle with 😉 [14:39] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): okay - taking hits and damage! [14:41] Vita Von Crow (atrophy): that's the worst, when someone bounces around like a cracked out pogostick and the end they take all their damage. [14:42] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): which brings me to another point - know your weapons. but dont expect everyone to know them, too. [14:42] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): tasers are a good example - not everybody knows how they work, or how a stun gun works [14:44] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): same with pepper spray, bear spray etc . when you use it, it's your obligation to research the effect - but dont get all upset when the others dont react properly, clarify in IM, or maybe even go with it when the effect is not as strong as you wanted it to be. [14:44] Tristan 'Phoenix' Moravian (asher.corvale): it is amazing the array of different reactions to GSW you see played out ^^ [14:44] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): another point though, if you have a non lethal weapon like a taser, it isn't a work around for a gun [14:45] Vita Von Crow (atrophy): I feel like I've seen a lot more law enforcement using it as a show stopper as of late. [14:46] Vita Von Crow (atrophy): I think the most fun I've had with the HPD is when I've ended up under a boot [14:47] Antoni 'Karn' Annaloro (brianvasteal): Best rp i ever had with the HPD was a full out beat down from Jestyr. never even used a weapon. [14:48] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): one last thing to keep in mind about tasers - you don't have to take the hit [14:49] Tristan 'Phoenix' Moravian (asher.corvale): IT has seemed to have been younger/newer PD chars that pull the taz as soon as you show resilience to commands, but it hits that realism barrier again. Cops would likely pull a taz or a fire arm out of safety, so them doing so IC is no harm, but it does stop the show once they shoot and connect, giving the vic little option but to fry. On both parties I'd think playing out a scene as far as you can before pulling the trigger is more enjoyable? [14:50] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): police protocol realistically would dictate drawing a taser to any armed combatant, but if you want that good old fashioned fist o cuffs brawl, miss the shot - tasers in many cases are one shot weapons (yes i know there are some 3 shot models, but we're poor in the HPD cuz I steal a lot of money).... i will send out some reminders to the hpd folks though. [14:51] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel) nods - it all boils down to - don't kill a scene just because you can. [14:51] Tristan 'Phoenix' Moravian (asher.corvale): Thanks Jack, in contrast it hasn't been that bad, but various times I've seen unarmed players tased because they wouldn't dance like a monkey n shit 😛 [14:56] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): talking about jestyr - one of his standards comments in our combat workshops was - make it short and violent. fights usually dont last hours. It's up to you which hit you take and how big the damage is. but take your hits, let them slow your down. it s a token of respect for your fellow players to make combat give and take. Even when they are physically weaker than you are. [14:57] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): injuries can be the best thing after a fight... there's nothing like limping around for 3 days because you let a convenience store chic shank you and you chose to use duct tape as a bandage [14:57] Vita Von Crow (atrophy): Or because it permanently alters your character. [14:58] Emmy 'Candy' Auteberry (nonois): first fight i got in with a fight gave my chara a perma injury. [14:58] Antoni 'Karn' Annaloro (brianvasteal): Honestly getting scarred gives you room to be more creative when posting. it gives you more to go off of. [14:59] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): back to weapons. there are of course different kind of weapons - and you should not only know about the effect of your weapon but also how to use it. A heavy weapon will be eat up your energy for example. Xou will most likely not be able to use it for two attacks in one post round - you will swing a sledge hammer only once. But if you have a knife and don't need one move for your defense - you certainly could swing it twice at your counterpart. [14:59] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): but in all seriousness, if you show the person who "looses" the fight that you didn't walk away unscathed, ten times more likely to let them keep escalating for some really bad ass scenes... all my fights when i first started here were small ones that just kept getting more and more spectacular as time passed until they were letting me do things like shoot through them [14:59] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel) nods - they trust you to fuck them up in dignity? [15:01] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): sounds funny to say, but yes [15:02] ℭrow Ṩwitch (fallenstarstream): No more kidnapping me! Three days in a cage only to wake up after having my skull bashed into the pavement by a fellow officer? <.< You're an evil woman. | As to the commentary on fighting styles and trying to make it fair.. I really have to say, I appreciate it when the fellow RPer, takes into consideration.. size, physical attributes, etc etc for themselves and the alternate fighter.. before making a decision on a move. Like.. For example when Amber and I fight against... lets say will or some massive guy like O.o charlie.. Sure they could probably mow us into the ground. 🙂 but maybe being allowed the advantage of being limber and applying it to the rp can keep things... interesting. *does lunges* The only time I've ever really been upset with an altercation in RP? was when the other side gave me no room to react, or leave 'probable' outcomes. [15:06] ℭrow Ṩwitch (fallenstarstream): ^ yes fully agreed there Blue [15:07] ℭrow Ṩwitch (fallenstarstream): its fun to take on guerilla warfare. Heck yes.. Look out! you might have me almost in a choke hold? but I'mma hit you in the eye with my six inch high heel. [15:09] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): another problem with taking hits - if you go for the throat, means, if you make a potentially lethal move - expect your counterpart to dodge. [15:09] ℭrow Ṩwitch (fallenstarstream): Yes agreed on that too Blue. *nods sagely* [15:09] Vita Von Crow (atrophy): andel dodges my love [15:09] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): and for cops who aim center mass expecting hits, or aim head shots - expect to have the worse accuracy record ever [15:10] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): which brings us to gun rules [15:10] ℭrow Ṩwitch (fallenstarstream): Yeah.. correct me if I'm wrong.. Jack. But isn't accuracy with any type of handgun a really [15:11] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): depends on the distance, I would say [15:11] Antoni 'Karn' Annaloro (brianvasteal): a toddler can blow your head off at point blank range. [15:12] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): so guns... most of ya have probably seen the weapons rules, they are pretty straightforward - like any weapon, requires a draw post before shooting [15:13] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): and - since they are so easily show stoppers - you better dont draw them in your first post. make known that you have one, maybe. give people time to react or to run. [15:13] ℭrow Ṩwitch (fallenstarstream): This is when you bend down to the ground, grab a fist full of dirt and throw it at gun toter's eyes. Whilst whispering "ninja dust" [15:13] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle) points to Blue's comment and nods. [15:14] Vita Von Crow (atrophy): In my personal opinion, that was the only damper I saw on the takeover weekend [15:17] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): i can't stress enough Blue's point - guns shouldn't be your first response, because there are way more non-armed citizens than armed citizens out there [15:17] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): BUT - if a gun is drawn, don't hide behind your no-death-limit [15:19] Amber Sinclaire (paige.morane): Shoot. I have a no death rule, BUT when someone pulled a gun to my characters head, I still freaked out. I was sitting on the edge of my seat nervous as hell "Omg is he guna pull the trigger? ACK!" [15:19] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): And - gun owners -are- allowed to draw their weapons when they see fit. not in their first emote, and of course they have to follow the post rules. but - they most likely will use them when you are getting too dangerous. [15:20] Antoni 'Karn' Annaloro (brianvasteal): As a person who was shot on sim. .. lofl on my first three days on sim. . i gotta say, the rp is fun as hell. [15:21] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): im not a big fan of Jack as a victim, although i allow it to happen to be fair when rp deems, but man... his history of injuries has got a lot of character behind it [15:24] ℭrow Ṩwitch (fallenstarstream): Yeah... I dunno guys. I like to roleplay with a sense of realism. First and foremost I appreciate when someone takes into account the actual amount of physical harm they are pressing on someones character. For example.. what happend with the REd Queens and myself. for the rest of my roleplay as this character.. I both limp and can no longer hold thinmgs with a correct nor strong grip with my right hand.. What really erks me.. is when people push it to extremes.. I have to pause the rp and insist with them.. explain what that type of injury can really do to a person. It boggles me when people can walk around and say "Yeah I've been shot 15 times and I'm still alive " [15:23] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): a few other quick hits on guns [15:23] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): high caliber rounds like a .50 cal desert eagle pistol - not allowed [15:24] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): shotguns - they have a wide spread, but become horribly inaccurate with any real distance involved [15:25] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): are shotguns allowed at all? [15:27] Marie (blueberrypancake): Can one dual wield handguns? [15:28] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): good question [15:29] ℭrow Ṩwitch (fallenstarstream): Why not change the rules entirely!?!? screw guns! We can roleplay like the cops are from the UK. Not carrying firearms.. and the criminals are canadian <.< heck yes a japanese katana and a molotov cocktail.. now thats exciting 🙂 [15:30] Antoni 'Karn' Annaloro (brianvasteal): I have a Katana icly lol. i just know im getting arressted the second i walk outside with it [15:34] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): remember though - armed tag at the start of the scene or no gun, can't decide halfway through you had your gun hidden in your underwear and be like... OH HAI GUN NOW [15:34] Sais Cynbel (sanosuke.gartner): which leds me to another question. [15:35] Sais Cynbel (sanosuke.gartner): Irl I have a Taurus Judge it is a revolver that shoot .45 Long colt and .410 which is a small buck shot round I know shotguns are only allowed in approved scenes but since it is a revolver [15:44] Jack Hartigan (caleb.harcassle): any combat questions? [15:44] Blue Handrick (bluebell.noel): yeah any more questions? [15:45] Amber Sinclaire (paige.morane): suddenly I feel like a fight scene... |
