Mylo More Arrogant than You Posts: 42014 Registered: Feb 2007  Posted November 13th, 2008 03:06 PM   IP              Sorry. High school and whatnot. Anyone up for a new roleplay? I'll do one this weekend. I'm not going to go all out advertising. We'll ease back into the groove. The Lair's not dead, guys, don't freak out. -Mylo I don't care what everyone says about me as long as it isn't true - Capote
elliefant PWNful Posts: 478 Registered: Jun 2007  Posted November 14th, 2008 03:39 PM   IP              Sure, I'm up for it. I am now PWNful. Like George Washington's Myspace. :3 lyle died. I killed him. X3 "I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music." - George Eliot ~ ellie XD
Mylo More Arrogant than You Posts: 42014 Registered: Feb 2007  Posted November 14th, 2008 04:13 PM   IP              Sweet. I'll get something planned, then. Let's see who else comments here. I don't care what everyone says about me as long as it isn't true - Capote

Mylo More Arrogant than You Posts: 42014 Registered: Feb 2007  Posted November 16th, 2008 02:08 PM   IP              Ahoy. We need a theme. Something we haven't done much before. (Fantasy is out. Sorry guys.) Maybe we could try pirates again? Secret underground mafia society? Something. Ideas? I don't care what everyone says about me as long as it isn't true - Capote
thefrenchhornguy Dedicated Roleplayer Posts: 71 Registered: May 2008  Posted November 17th, 2008 06:32 AM   IP              Pirates would be cool. Has the Lair ever been subject to a realistic roleplay, straight up? Without the whole surreal thing or some major twist. If not you might consider that. "I'm not sad. I'm complicated. Chicks dig that." - House, M.D.
Mylo More Arrogant than You Posts: 42014 Registered: Feb 2007  Posted November 17th, 2008 05:37 PM   IP              The first time it was suggested, it was pretty much shot down, but maybe we could try again. Realism is a little scary of a concept. I get enough reality now, as it is. X3 I don't care what everyone says about me as long as it isn't true - Capote
thefrenchhornguy Dedicated Roleplayer Posts: 71 Registered: May 2008  Posted November 17th, 2008 05:50 PM   IP              I was thinking more adult reality. Given the chance I would put on my best House impersonation and run cynical circles around all of your characters. Such a character would be best accommodated in a realistic setting. Just a suggestion. Pirates would be pretty fun, provided the history was relatively accurate. "I'm not sad. I'm complicated. Chicks dig that." - House, M.D.
Mylo More Arrogant than You Posts: 42014 Registered: Feb 2007  Posted November 17th, 2008 06:28 PM   IP              Okay. I skimmed that, and imagined House limping in circles around a confused group of interns. Then I read it again. You mean, no High School drama? Such things exist? On the internet? We tried a historically accurate Pirates roleplay, once. It was going pretty well, and then the Lair died. (As it seems prone to doing.) Any mention of POCT, of course, was banned. I don't care what everyone says about me as long as it isn't true - Capote
thefrenchhornguy Dedicated Roleplayer Posts: 71 Registered: May 2008  Posted November 17th, 2008 07:13 PM   IP              High School drama roleplays fail utterly. Just the way I see it. The characters are always annoying and any attempt to bring higher themes and plot structure into it fail dismally and end up looking ridiculous. Realistic adult-world roleplays can succeed given everybody can be moderately complicated...I think that makes sense. Right? "I'm not sad. I'm complicated. Chicks dig that." - House, M.D.
Mylo More Arrogant than You Posts: 42014 Registered: Feb 2007  Posted November 17th, 2008 07:29 PM   IP              I get enough High School drama from all the idiots who insist on making fun of me daily. But that's life. Realistic Adult-World things allow people to have their lives circle around more than just school. Oh. Dude. We need to have something implementing the Trombone Hermit. I don't care what everyone says about me as long as it isn't true - Capote
thefrenchhornguy Dedicated Roleplayer Posts: 71 Registered: May 2008  Posted November 17th, 2008 08:14 PM   IP              "Realistic Adult-World things allow people to have their lives circle around more than just school." -resists urge to make a joke- If you created a real world adult thingy, then you could theoretically be some sort of professional musician. "I'm not sad. I'm complicated. Chicks dig that." - House, M.D.
Mylo More Arrogant than You Posts: 42014 Registered: Feb 2007  Posted November 17th, 2008 08:42 PM   IP              Huhuh. I saw that coming. Perhaps "adult' isn't the right word for this. X3 Grown-up Roleplay? (I'm all growed up, mommy!) Just, uh, nobody with the job of "very friendly person" allowed. (You know, the ones who always look pretty, sitting on the side of the road) Sorry, kids. Oh! I could be an encyclopedia salesman! -thumbs up- I don't care what everyone says about me as long as it isn't true - Capote
elliefant PWNful Posts: 478 Registered: Jun 2007  Posted November 17th, 2008 08:50 PM   IP              Dude. x3 I like the idea of secret underground mafia society. Sounds fun! xD Pirates, okay, but I'm not really into pirates. You guys can do it if you want, though. x3 I don't care. Maybe this realistic thing could work. It looks like you guys have a lot... planned? xD But, it does seem really interesting. I'm willing to give it a try. -inspiration comes flying and knocks ellie over the head- Oh mah gawd!! Victorian/Edwardian (less modern/more modern) RP. Like, fancy noblemen and pretty dresses and games of croquet and tea in the garden. o3o I am now PWNful. Like George Washington's Myspace. :3 lyle died. I killed him. X3 "I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music." - George Eliot ~ ellie XD
thefrenchhornguy Dedicated Roleplayer Posts: 71 Registered: May 2008  Posted November 17th, 2008 09:21 PM   IP              Rather. -sips tea- I understand you exactly madame. Mylo: XD. Lawl. "I'm not sad. I'm complicated. Chicks dig that." - House, M.D.
Mylo More Arrogant than You Posts: 42014 Registered: Feb 2007  Posted November 17th, 2008 10:25 PM   IP              Be that Jasmine tea, kind sir? I could be in compliance with you in that regard with the exception that everyone must speak as stuffy as possible. Everyone. o3o -insert obligatory funny here- I don't care what everyone says about me as long as it isn't true - Capote
elliefant PWNful Posts: 478 Registered: Jun 2007  Posted November 18th, 2008 01:44 AM   IP              Unless you take the position of scullery maid. Then, you should have a Cockney accent. x3 However, speaking stuffily is fun. I am now PWNful. Like George Washington's Myspace. :3 lyle died. I killed him. X3 "I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain.

thefrenchhornguy Dedicated Roleplayer Posts: 71 Registered: May 2008  Posted November 19th, 2008 03:05 PM   IP              So what have we? 1. Pirates 2. Adult Real World 3. Victorian/Edwardian "I'm not sad. I'm complicated. Chicks dig that." - House, M.D.
Mylo More Arrogant than You Posts: 42014 Registered: Feb 2007  Posted November 19th, 2008 08:52 PM   IP              That's quite a crack list of stuff, there. Then again, we are the Lairans. It's what we do. We need to stay away from Fantasy. Far, far away. Maybe some other old eras would do, as well? (Please, no medieval) Something where we could stay away from stereotypes and anachronisms. (So, nothing we know nothing about.) I don't care what everyone says about me as long as it isn't true - Capote
Rayu Moderator Posts: 1919 Registered: Sep 2007  Posted November 20th, 2008 06:16 PM   IP              We could have a roleplay courtroom. ^^ Underground keeper of the keyboard of stuck vowel keys.
thefrenchhornguy Dedicated Roleplayer Posts: 71 Registered: May 2008  Posted November 22nd, 2008 07:32 AM   IP              That would be fun. Court scenes rule. Again I point out that realism is something that we know a lot about (if not by choice, definitely by exposure), so we could avoid stereotypes (if there are any in realistic roleplays. I don't know.) Just pointing it out. I'm not pulling for it particularly. "I'm not sad. I'm complicated. Chicks dig that." - House, M.D.
Mylo More Arrogant than You Posts: 42014 Registered: Feb 2007  Posted November 22nd, 2008 07:23 PM   IP              Hahah. If we did a trial, I could re-present my KICK ASS closing argument that almost won the show in the Legal Eagles minicourse. :D Court would be amazing, but I think D and I would spend the majority of our time correcting the rest of you. X3 I don't care what everyone says about me as long as it isn't true - Capote
evilcuteness PWNful Posts: 469 Registered: Oct 2007  Posted November 23rd, 2008 04:46 PM   IP              Yeah....... anyhow, I like the realistic idea as well. Doing a high school RP could be good, but will most likely fail just because. -shudders away from Frenchy's perverted thoughts- We could do college instead..... although it's not THAT much different from high school, other than the fact that people live in dorms. Mostly...... I dunno. I'll just wait for y'all to decide.
Mylo More Arrogant than You Posts: 42014 Registered: Feb 2007  Posted November 23rd, 2008 08:04 PM   IP              No school, please. We thought this through. :/ I don't care what everyone says about me as long as it isn't true - Capote
thefrenchhornguy Dedicated Roleplayer Posts: 71 Registered: May 2008  Posted November 23rd, 2008 08:53 PM   IP              We can relate too much to school. Watch all of our characters be exact replicas of us with a little personal-fantasy-flair added in "to be original". It would fail miserably. If we are going to get this roleplay started anytime soon, I think we should vote or something. I vote adult realism. "I'm not sad. I'm complicated. Chicks dig that." - House, M.D.
Mylo More Arrogant than You Posts: 42014 Registered: Feb 2007  Posted November 23rd, 2008 08:57 PM   IP              I vote adult realism with the condition that a trial be included. I don't care what everyone says about me as long as it isn't true - Capote
thefrenchhornguy Dedicated Roleplayer Posts: 71 Registered: May 2008  Posted November 24th, 2008 06:58 AM   IP              I was planning to make my character a doctor. A malpractice suit with you or D as my attorney? Just throwing it out there. "I'm not sad. I'm complicated. Chicks dig that." - House, M.D.
elliefant PWNful Posts: 478 Registered: Jun 2007  Posted November 24th, 2008 09:49 AM   IP              ellie votes Victorian. :) I am now PWNful. Like George Washington's Myspace. :3 lyle died. I killed him. X3 "I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain.

Rayu Moderator Posts: 1919 Registered: Sep 2007  Posted November 25th, 2008 02:51 PM   IP              I think adult realism could be good. Victorian, too. Huhm... who could I play convincingly? Underground keeper of the keyboard of stuck vowel keys.
evilcuteness PWNful Posts: 469 Registered: Oct 2007  Posted November 29th, 2008 04:55 PM   IP              Vote for realism. Quick question though: if I want can my character be in college? If not, a teacher works for me.
