Honorary RP Award -- Nominations

[Slartucker]

In the Dread Aerie, the Elders and I are discussing potential plans for a system to reward crazy good RP with clan points (in a structured way that will not get out of hand). While we are figuring that out it occured to me that there has already been some good RP, both recently and also predating the clans!

So, the first RP award will be an honorary award for RP that predates the introduction of clans. You can nominate a warlock in this thread based on anything -- a battle, a forum post, a listserv post, a web page, or even his warlocks profile.

I'll open the nominations with one of the latter, for Taliesin, the profile post he made upon his final retirement, which the Isle / Black Rose argument currently going on reminded me of:

"And at the end of many days, it came to pass that the radiant brow of Taliesin was seen no longer in the realms below. On hearing of this, some of a gloomy and pessimistic bent said that the end of all things was at hand, for the mage had surely gone to the great reward. But this view was much derided by others, who claimed that the hubris of Taliesin had offended the gods themselves, and he had been cast down into ...ation eternal. Only a very few heeded the words of Slartucker, who claimed that he had seen him leaving the plane arm in arm with the Goddess Eris."

I nominate Xade. He instigated a fight war with the GBA, and dirtied its noble cause. The Islanders are polar opposites to what the GBA stands for... and just the mere mention of the Isle within the same breath sickens me to the core.

[vermont]

Please do not assume to know what the Isle stands for in its entirety after a brief stint dealing with a sole mage. This is more hidden in our isle than you, or even many of our own members, are aware of.

Cordially yours.

That's not "mention of the Isle", that's me, the Poisoner Mage of the Isle of Vermont. You have but 6 days to live.

I nominate QnanG5284, due to his repeated use of the F/> opening for purely RP reasons.

[freesoul]

I assume to know what i see and hear. My opinions, and opinions of the realm are shaped by such things. Things may change in the future, but I will not work under the assumption that they will. The existance of hidden secrets does not ease my views on the Isle.

I agree, the Paramancers have a cool name and actually play their style (though advertising a style is not exactly going to surprise an enemy). why dont i just dress up in tights and call myself the Goblin King.

You remind me of the babe.

[Slartucker]

I need to find a way to turn Toyotami in tights into a decent custom title...

[Derfel]

Don't forget to pay attention to the various "Ronin". We have our places too.

How ancient do you want the role play, Slarty?

[Slartucker]

Why, I was kind of hoping somebody would dredge up that old Akuma battle (or whatever it was) from the beginning of time...

(Edit: let's not nominate WOGHD for his excellent portrayal of Kryptonite, though...)

[boomfrog]

I'd like to nominate Wider for consistently staying in character no matter what his opponents say. His dialogue may be corny, but sticking to your RP is hard when others won't play along.

Wider says "Hello my friend. Feel the kind forces of evil.".
...
Wider says "I will you smash you like vermin.".
...
Wider says "I already am a social disease".
Wider starts to look sick.
...
[Opponent] says "You again. )".
Wider says "Ready to lose again?".
[Opponent] says "Pretty much but if you're going to start being ...y I'll steer clear of matches with you.".
Wider says "That is unfortunate. But after all, black magic sorcery is not a business for the highly sensitive.".
...
Wider says "That was futile, harharhar.".
...
Wider says "I lve it when a plan works out. HarHarHar".
...
Wider says "You are learning fast, my friend.".
...
Wider says "I did expect you to summon a beast".
...
Wider says "I can smell you blood.".
[Opponent] says "Oh, cool. What does it smell like?".
Wider says "You will get the taste".

Ok, sorry if that was too much. You get the point.

... I hope you didn't really mean to say it was an excellent portrayal...
All WOGHD was able to play was a controlling megalomaniac, and he never tried for anything else.

Okay, enough of that. I support the nomination of Taliesin.
