18:33:46 Oct 17th 07 - VU Admin:

Hello I recently had someone asking me why he wasn't getting any roleplaying-points by roleplaying in in-game messages.

This was my reply:

Your role in the game is [enter rulername here] son of... He is the ruler of an empire, or at least a city with a few soldiers. Thinking of yourself as that person when writing letters to other rulers will get you rewarded for roleplaying.

For example:

1) "Hi, sorry I couln't login yeasterday, my internet connection was down".

2) "Hello, a white knight enters your caste, he has a nice hat and a very big sword. You get very scared when he walks towards you..."

Those messages are not roleplaying. The first one is obvious. You might think the other one is roleplaying, but it's not. It's more like story telling, and will not get rewarded.
However the following message might be rewarded if it's good:

3) "Hello, I'm sorry for not writing to you earlier. We had a turney last night and my writer broke his finger. I hope this message is readable... You want me to send and army to Nile City, and I will. However it will take several days, my new swordsmen are not yet fully trianed."

To get rewarded, the message should be in letter form, written in medieval style and most important, it should seem it's written by the character in the game and not the one playing the account.

Ofcourse you can continue to write stories via the in-game messages. But you will not get rewarded for them.

So if you wonder why you didn't get any points for writing a novel via the in-game message system, this is why.

*Sad face*

"We get to keep the ones we got already right?"

18:46:54 Oct 17th 07 - Sir Verll:

So no more stories......

:(

18:48:54 Oct 17th 07 - Duke Epyon:

"I understand completely, sire. I shall be on my way"

*Epyon mounts his horse and rides off*

=P

18:55:18 Oct 17th 07 - Ms. Natalia:

I might have to start doing that, better then what fizban keeps sending me!

19:27:18 Oct 17th 07 - Sir Patton:

Talia.... do I need to send you to your room?

20:15:26 Oct 17th 07 - Mr. Sun:

My lord! From the deepest of my heart, I swear that I shall not take great emphasis on mere words, for MORTAL COMBATS speaks louder with actions. I shall claim the title of Paladin by delivering honour and courage in battles.

20:17:37 Oct 17th 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar:

Thou pathetic fool, dost thou think to sway our mighty lord, ZeTa? He is the true strength of this place, and rules with a rod of iron. Therfore, he wilt not give unto me the title Duke, that i once had. Not until I prove myself with mine eloquence.

20:23:26 Oct 17th 07 - Sir Patton:

I shall become the greatest strategist that will have walked these realms (General) or I shall become the wisest (Sage) however, know this Sun. Thou shalt not be a paladin through claiming it, it is bestowed on you by the higher power that you serve.

20:37:34 Oct 17th 07 - Lord Guderian:

It is my goal to become a General in this mighty realm. I shalt do mine poor best, but if it is not to be, I shall be forced to bribe the Gods to allow me my titile.

20:39:32 Oct 17th 07 - Sir Verll:

I'm going to be AWESUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

21:16:43 Oct 17th 07 - Lord Ragnarr The Wolf:

Well I thought that that was how one should get RP points in the begining of my VU career, yet then I thought the other way.
Anyhow, thanks for infroming us this, Admin.

21:24:46 Oct 17th 07 - Sir Santa Claus:

Why cant you earn them with stories anymore?

21:54:03 Oct 17th 07 - Mr. Atreides:

I knew it! But (nearly) all my RP's were like that...you know, game related and stuff. Ah well......guess I need to improve my RP/writing skillz fo bettah titles...

23:58:55 Oct 17th 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II:

*Septim hopes nobody realizes the person the Admin sent the message was was him.

"Errrrrrr...how's the weather?"

00:01:33 Oct 18th 07 - Lord Jonny Bacardi The Ruined Son:

yea, a few of mine where like that as well. Thanks for informing us, eh. Its gonna help out a bunch in the future.

Ofcourse you can continue to write stories via the in-game messages. But you will not get rewarded for them.

So if you wonder why you didn't get any points for writing a novel via the in-game message system, this is why.

but there is no point in writing them any more, sure there fun-ish but there's no reward.....

00:08:56 Oct 18th 07 - Sir Verll:

Maybe a half RP-Point?

05:12:10 Oct 18th 07 - Lady Lacewing:

Well Pooey.

Back to the way I used to write RPs.

Personally I think a novel style required more creativity and thought, and thus more rewardable. It's all too easy to spam out a letter like Zeta's example.

08:45:08 Oct 18th 07 - Ms. Natalia:

*goes to her room* Don't worry fizban i'm going!

19:58:00 Oct 18th 07 - Sir Santa Claus:

The example the admin is giving, if you would keep up with those, I agree with Lady Lacewing, it will become more like spamming instead of RPing. I tried this 10 messages long and in the end I was making up that there was going to be an uprising in one of my cities, and believe me, I am full of imagination. The novelstyleRP's required more of a player and were more fun!
I really disagree with this change.

Why actually? Why is it being changed?Or has been changed.

20:00:24 Oct 18th 07 - Sir Verll:

I think the old system was best...

05:48:57 Oct 19th 07 - Mr. Atreides:

I like this way.....it's roleplaying, not story writing o.O
Plus, RP can be very interesting stories. VU as a game has a pretty massive scope if you think of it as a story. I have an important question though, can you get RP points through writing of your history (if it fits such criteria)? I sure hope so lol...

18:36:56 Nov 8th 07 - Mr. Vengence:

ok......... rp point here i come!!!!

22:00:48 Nov 10th 07 - Mr. Aurelius:

For how long do you have to roleplay before you get rp- points? I have done it for almost the entire era and I haven t got even one....

22:55:41 Nov 10th 07 - Pirate Lewatha:

The roleplay points are awarded at the end of the era.

proud owner of 3 roleplay points and the pirate title.

22:56:10 Nov 10th 07 - Mr. Revenge:

01:20:21 Nov 11th 07 - Lord Software Bug:

Why shouldn't you be able to RP your character and act as medieval Ruler in novel-style?

06:07:04 Nov 11th 07 - Mr. Sigheart:

Do we have to start using I's from now on, instead of talking in the 3rd person?

17:28:04 Nov 18th 07 - Mr. Zxcvbnm VI:

one wishes he could aquire the title of 'farmer', for one's near legendery small army compared to the hords of thine and mi well massive income! so can i have the title of farmer now? plz plz plz

17:53:40 Nov 18th 07 - Mr. Sigheart:

Would this be considered telling a story?

As Edy walks out of the tavern he states loudly to no one in particular "I'll be leaving in 2 days if you want to join me you should probablly meet me outside the west gate" earning a couple of wierd glances from passerbies.

Edy strutted with a purpose toward one of the alleys of the town. Where the scum of cities lived. The Blacksmith known as Garganoth had asked for this place as there meeting point to give him the weapon he had asked for.

Edy's mind worked out what he knew about the man Garganoth.Garganoth was a friend of the the Dark but an enemy of Gadriel. He was a rather well known blacksmith but he had always followed the immortal.

As Edy walked though he felt more nervous, there was a certain oppresive quality to this alley that shouldn't be here. As he walked it began to get stronger until unable to stop the nervousness in his mind he began to sprint.

Edy got to the small house that would be there meeting place. Nervously Edy opened the door. As he stared at what he saw he felt his stomach heave. At seeing what was left of the man known as Garganoth.

19:09:59 Nov 20th 07 - Lady Lacewing:

Yes, but not RP-point earning. I believe the RP must be in first person for it to count.

21:37:39 Nov 20th 07 - Mr. Sigheart:

First person? Really because that's to easy, Third person Omniscient is far more interesting.

15:41:46 Nov 25th 07 - Mr. Revenge Sweet:

are we allowed to just talk to sum1 else to attempt for RP-points, and not for any other reason? cos i want RP points, but how am i meant to do this without actuallt setting up an supposed RP through PM. or should i just write messages to KD m8s concerning wars and stuff in that way?

01:47:19 Nov 28th 07 - Mr. Cheesefry:

You just made Cheesefry very unhappy I just wrote a 1/4 part short rp story theme(Ima nub) about a mix of LOTR,VU and Sea of Trolls THIS IS EBIL! FYR (life) stinks.

23:04:27 Dec 5th 07 - Ms. Geneva:

~Her eyes started to water, as she was informed of the news. She was devastated, for she is a hamster. She squeaked as she tried to reason in vain for she cannot speak as humans do. Cursed forever not to get any RP title, she started vanishing, fading away in the darkness, and in a gust of wind... disapeared.~

14:30:08 Dec 10th 07 - Mr. Vengence:

i have been RPing all last era, and i have no RP points! what did i do wrong, waaaaaaaaaa!!

15:17:20 Dec 10th 07 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

I SENT LETTERS! and I got no RP points :(

15:27:57 Dec 10th 07 - Mr. Vengence:

19:52:27 Dec 10th 07 - Sir Gaius Aureliae:

Did you tell the guys you RP-ed with to click the "+" button, to report the message as good?

19:53:58 Dec 10th 07 - Mr. Vengence:

19:57:47 Dec 10th 07 - Sir Revenge:

20:54:30 Dec 10th 07 - Mr. Vengence:

01:59:23 Dec 11th 07 - Mr. Plague:

13:14:55 Dec 12th 07 - Mr. Vengence:
