But nothing happened to any of us who were playing seriously, so what's the point of turning back time?

I would love to continue as well so...

Going by that idea then fire is air. Chryomancy isn't as much controlling ice as it is lowering temperature and freezing stuff.

Quantum-electronics engineer means someone who designs devices which use electronics to affect other fields of physics. That means I can for example make a projected statuette of ionized gas in a magnetic field. I don't have any advantage over anyone else, I can do nice effects, but intricate details would be impossible.

I'm not, there's no reason to bother dressing when I know I'm not leaving the house in the near future. I would be wearing my robe but then I'd have to refresh my deodorant every two hours.

Sitting home alone at the computer in the underwear, arguing with a narcissist and wondering what to do after eating a bunch of pancakes?

Archi, you forget that I never get anything I make to work properly, so obviously the technology won't do anything until it is made by someone else, in which case everything would be fine. You also forget that I'm the least militaristic player imaginable, not resorting to the use of weapons until I have to in order to defend myself. I do not hate RPs, I would love to join them if I only had the imagination required.

Janus gathers wood.

Sometimes I wonder if I met myself, would it become a two-way-murder or would it bring the world of science 100 years into the future.

You obviously haven't seen Capture the Cheese. Right Pieis? Yup, DE was too cooperative for that, after all you got a girlfriend through the cooperative effort of me and Zach. :razz:

My problem with RPs is that they do not belong in a games sub-forum. A RP is a book with a different author for each POV, a game is a challenge. My problem with you however is that you are acting like you're the Tavern elder when even Lei has been here longer than you, you need to learn some humility (although so do I), you may not speak as if on behalf of the Taverns interests and you may not speak as if you know more about it than anyone else here. That is noted, Pieis. And as you see I am merely telling him facts and how to improve his behavior.^

It's a roleplaying game, a text rp is just a roleplay.

Res, the guidelines were created after 1/4th of the Tavern's lifespan had taken place, they were created without our consent from what the Admins seemed to grasp of our opinions. Iey, they are moderated, soft-RP, the player controls no more than his characters intentions and attempts, the moderator is in fact in a position where he is allowed to take full control of any character for an extended period of time if so he wishes.

The difference between a roleplay and a roleplaying game is that in a roleplaying game you are not in control of your character's fate, whereas in a roleplay the outcome of your actions depend solely on you and/or another character. Resistance, [bleep] off, you're the newbie, listen to the veterans! Me, Ross, Grim, Peis, Icu, Trol, Dungeonal, Dusty, Sere, Rocco, RPG (and Hex although he was banned), we were here before the Tavern, it was created for us, for our games. Then at the same time as the Tavern was created we were joined by Archi and soon Retech. We are the ones who know what the Tavern truly was, even before the first roleplaying game, Dungeoneering. (I'm not trying to make myself high and mighty though, I was the last player to join before the Tavern, in fact the person you should listen the most to would be Ross if he would just rejoin us.)

Half the original members were opposed, nay appalled by the idea of Hegemony being brought to a sub-forum of the roleplaying sub-forum, the Tavern may have grown but its purpose has not, this is a gaming sub-forum, not a roleplaying sub-forum.

Is it safe to say this is dead?

There, an Admin has been alerted and hopefully it will soon be made clear that the Tavern is not the place for roleplays, it may also lead to the re-opening of the Falador Library.

Which reminds me that the moderators have something to answer for...

No, the Tavern is the place for games and threads such as Hegemony, Dungeoneering and Zombie Plans Revised, true games too serious for Forum Games and fiction taken too seriously for Off-Topic. Several of the original Taverners (at which time we weren't Taverners, just a group of people playing Hegemony and posting our zombie plans) were actually disgusted by the fact that we were moved to a sub-forum of the roleplaying sub-forum, however as that sub-forum is now inactive, we switched places. The Tavern is still no place for roleplays, it's a place for serious games. Lei, probably not a good idea until at least the beginning of 2012.

Any true RP belongs there.

RP belongs in the library, the Tavern is soft-RP.

You can ask a global moderator too.

*cough* Falador Library *cough*

Necromancy isn't among the skills you can chose to start with. You have to chose between aeromancy, chryomancy, geomancy, hydromancy and pyromancy.
