Rumors about the ressurection of Marcus Cole.

This

To be fair, when one's source material is this level of artistically-impaired hackery, there's a certain inevitability to where things will end up.

I suppose that we could be truer to the spirit of "Xanth" and try to seek out the "punnish" subtext that must exist within the story being told.

The thread seems to be punnishing enough, though, without going there.

Or all the flying heroes in the world fly around the world backwards and turn back time.

It turns out that the reality of CoH is an autistic boy looking into a snow globe of Paragon City.

And then the opening credits roll, and we start this whole thing over again.

No, You are NOT a Sith Lord... You....You are a towel.

I know you gotten some flak for your post. And then when people tell you why, you resort to calling them "WoWTards" but let me show you why you got the flak.

See that quoted part of your post above? You just said Virtue. An entire server.

As I stated earlier, and maybe others could of said better. If you want to go that route with your character, it's best to leave it to a character that isn't into the RPing with Virtue as a whole, character.

That type of storyline is for a a group of RPers who keep themselves in an enclosed circle, and who are willing to say "Okay, this character discovered this and these characters did this." ect ect.

When RPing in an open community such as all of Virtue. That type of story just doesn't work. This is also why I believe you see the canon stories play out such as they do.

The writers just can't account for all the different player characters and their characters motives.

I see you have never before encountered DV's brand of crazy. I envy you.

Since you sound like your trying to understand Ill try to explain one last time as clearly as possible.

LORE BASED RP. You do know who Bentley Berkeley is for example right? No not my character, which he isnt, he is my role, when an actor is chosen to play say new kirk for example, he is no more or less then the other actor to portray the character( for the purpose of the anaology)

Sometimes actors can even have interesting insights into thier roles and use them to expand the character further then even the original writer who created it imagined. That is the only reason I have for my characters.

The original post isnt about an RP plot played out by a group, its just like many other theories on how or why we could bring back statesman using the new ritual from the holiday event.

Ill try and point to how I am using in game lore and content to create a viable idea that just like now few others suggested, offers a way to bring back marcus cole who not all are happy to see fall, at least not yet nor so quietly.

With the new holiday event we have a ritual and the requirements pretty clearly spelled out. Some suggest why cant this work for all. Some say well statesman is alot more then just some crazy lady and would take bigger magic.

I replace the generic coins with the 2 used for an ancient incarnate that yes I personally have long imagined Ol **** dates back to cimorea, and yes have long imagined as having some connection to the oracle since I chose for him to bea psi/ment blaster.

I listed a number of lore characters, and a few names of characters I play or know played all based on lore involving the very subjects being used in the comic series quite alot. Its not about my ego when I suggest those names but simple logic. Ive seen others suggest roughly the same using more main stream names, but imo **** is a bigger wiz then younglings like numina, he is just alot more humble and out of the spot light.

Other things I make reference to are the remains of tielekuu, seen in the cim section of the club, I make use of vlamaz because its a simple fact demons deal in the stuff of life that is magical, who else makes more sense to know before mention of the ritual that states own final breath might be handy?

Its not hard to imagine that an immortals blood, and last breath would likely carry some bigger boosts to a ritual then a typical person. Could you imagine a blood mage having a stock pile of Highlanders blood? People go on about how much they wanted a selfless and heroic sacrifice for statesman, why not a really old human who makes states seem young, who knew the last incarnate, maybe even was given a prophecy back then about states and his hour of need. Why not kill off a background character from lore who was always left in the dust anyways like Berkeley and let marcus cole have a chance at a final normal lifetime without power and responsability but who could still act as a NPC in some minor way, perhaps the new city rep in RP? so he wouldnt over shadow our own characters, but niether be removed so casually as to have no few players feeling like the face of thier game just got hit with acid then beat with an ugly stick.

again lore based RP isnt even about just RP its about being an immerssive part of the game even solo, even ona non rp pug, your trying to add an extra layer of depth for those around you.

I appreciate the effort to defend common civility, but you need not risk harrasment on my behalf.

I dont even care if that is meant as an insult that is just to funny.

to be fair that is actually the reaction I hoped for with rp quips like that. i always imagine valmaz tries to court numi just to torment infernal

I have an idea. Try to see if anyone cares.

Get generic'd
