I've got video footage of her swimming across a river just to get over the border and away from her homeland. Shes a traitor to all SCOTS.

Lies! Stop spreading lies you. I've known you for 6 years and you've never mentioned this 'footage'

How do you know Locky?

Well, people have already asked the tricky question of your favourite Final Fantasy, and I'm torn on how to view you so far. I mean, on the one hand, you love FFVII, so that by definition means you're awesome. On the other hand, you love FFX, and, well... yeah... there's only one way to find out if you're still a decent person, and that's by asking the less tricky, easy-to-answer, simple questions to see if you answers show some signs of you being a reasonable person. So, with that said, what's your story?

We know each other from roleplaying boards

Locky was in my circle of close friends back when we were roleplayers. I maintained a presitigious title known as 'Munchy' to most (since we all carried Aliases for the sake of those who want to keep IRL separate from RP). We all started back in 2006 and pretty much set the ground for roleplay from knowing nothing (we were all kids afterall) to a very flexible system where rules were pressed into once any form of competitive roleplay was taken upon. The concept of roleplay evolved over the years as we all grew off eachothers increasing skills in writting and presentation. It was a great community anyhow, hundreds of active people. What goes up must come down though sadly.

Also, FFX was awesome man! Great cutscenes, awesome revamped battle system and BLITZZZZBAAALLLLL!!!! (I admit some of the characters were just plain awful though)

Did you have a fixed / rule-based battle system in your RP, or did you opt for a moderated creative writing system? I've been pondering getting back into a bit of RP'ing over the past months.

Did you have a fixed / rule-based battle system in your RP, or did you opt for a moderated creative writing system? I've been pondering getting back into a bit of RP'ing over the past months.

Originally, people of all creative backings were welcome to take part, but as the scene got more popular and certain individuals were seen climbing some imaginary social status ladder, those individuals imposed their own set of rules to make RP more... rigid. The rule-based battle system overcame fighting 'off-the-fly', and the scene became very competitive. The main problem was, there were alot of egos developing relative to their self-perceived level of skill compared to other RPers and as a result alot of fights would end up being shorter than the arguments breaking out over technicalities after some disagreement about a move being made.

I decided to step out of the scene and instead help referee matches for the community to observe and settle all these toxic disputes. I went to the length of creating a Premiership type of league where a roster of RPers who signed up had their names taken down and all their fights recorded. The roster would be in order of who could beat who, so if 6th place lost to 8th place, they'd swap positions. People wanted to all go for number 1 though as you can imagine, so I imposed a rule wherein you could only Officially challenge someone for their rank if they were at most 3 spots above you. This group 'Kaizen Shinka' did pretty well for itself, and eventually when I left the community, modified imitations were created to take up its role as an organization.

Overall, great scene, just a shame people got too cocky.

You pretty much wrote out exactly why I prefer everything to be done through creative writing. So long as people know what is and is not okay, it's far easier. People should also remember to write for the good of the story rather than for the good of themselves. Dramatic deaths are quality things.

My character is a sorceress, who is a virgin maiden, but also completely irresistible to men. She's also really tough and snarky, but super sweet and gentle. She can use a bow and arrow as well as magic, but she always looks completely beautiful. She is also a catgirl.

Sadly RP became a chore and now anyone left on the website just talks OOC instead of attempting to RP at all. Sad times.
