I've already forgotten, I don't know what you're talking about, Edoras.

Deep-elf and darkie human aren't exactly the same thing.

From Aleph to Tav (haha), I didn't particularly like Emet. While I think it was legitimate to play him that way, I believe it to be counterproductive, rather stopping RP than generating it - that, along with me thinking the abusive side was excessively lamecake.

:/

Obvious differences between Aldric and Nosephthyki.

Hmm, First off...Nose is a...Deep-elf? Oh my, couldnt be? ...As a light priest of the church of dulrik, that automatically makes him look down on that person for the whole fact that she is a deep-elf and deep-elf's aren't much liked in nerina, and he was the leader of the guard there. Just my thought on that part.

Aldric perhaps didnt stick out as much, and didnt act like a 'darky' would. So at that, his character icly gave him a chance? *shrugs* Just maybe.


Nerina is supposed to be more neutral than Exile. It's a lightie/grey city. When MC and Talons were fighting, it was like Aldric was totally exempt. The level of aid and c-jerking that Aldric and Emet did to each other was astonishing. Nose was banished immediately just because he didn't like her. I don't mind if Emet was BFF with every darkie in the realms, but to pick and choose between them? To banish people from Nerina for no good reason and then shower presents and love onto Aldric? Didn't make sense for a Dulrik priest.

One more good thing about Emet: he really would insta-rez you. The perfect PK priest.

-edit-
Took out some IC info


Nerina can be however it wants to be. That don't matter, seriously. He can chose he he likes, light grey or dark. If she was banished, then she obviously commited a crime to do so, so he...hmm, banished her...OMG QUIT COMPLAINING?

Maybe, aldric had done something to change emet's thoughts of him and he grew to like him? Or do you just somehow know emet's full rp that he does with everyone?

Nosephythki was in the Nerina Inn with many other people.
A bard accidentally sang songs of death. Everyone attacked him as a result, Nosephythki ended up with the killing blow out of sheer chance.
Emet logged in, saw a murder on Nosephythki, and banished her, despite all the explanations he received.

Blind devotion is just as bad as blind hatred, mundufisen. There's a reason that this thread is mostly comprised of "This character sucked/I couldn't stand him."

For the record, I have no idea who Nosephthyki is played by, no idea OOCly what cabal Nosephthyki is in or if he/she is in a cabal at all, and the only reason I banished Nosephthyki at that time was due to a strong IC suspicion that she was allies/friends with Harlequin that were using her as a spy.

I did plenty of roleplay involving that banishment with many lighties and others, including short conversations with Nosephthyki explaining my 'deep-elven one strike policy'. As Emet explained IC, "I know that you all want me to give Nosephthyki a second chance, but you don't have the responsibility on your shoulders of keeping the people of Zhenshi safe."

Although people seem to be mixing my 'unfairly darkie' roleplay as Emet with my 'ooc actions', this situation is just one where many players think that Emet was unfair. That's fine - he was a zealous Lighty who joined Zhenshi following the mass destruction of the War for the Zhang. At the beginning of Emet players all hated how hard-assed he was, but by the end I was getting spammed with tells by the other lighty cabals for help and for advice, because players realized that I didn't play Emet OOCly, I played him ICly...and I was just roleplaying a hardass [REDACTED] who hated deep-elves.

Sorry, but unless I was an elf paladin, I would assume "zealous lightie" to apply to all darkies.

You can go back in the astral board and see the note Emet posted on the spirit of compromise. Emet believed that deep-elves were different than darkies overall, and therefore he instituted the 'one strike' policy in Zhenshi that only applied to deep-elves.

As much as some people hate that, it really was completely IC and simply a different way of roleplaying a lighty.
