Oops! Really Sorry ...

[Abraxas77]

I was going through my logs and I found this:

Anarch: 'Ey
Dode: hello there
Anarch: You with the stick
Cien Morkai: what do ~you~ want, Orcface ... ants in you pants?
Dode: just stoping by to say hellop
Daisy WillowKnot: *glances around the campfire looks a little bit upset*
Cien Morkai: 'cause I'll give it to ya'
Dode: lol
Dode: be friendly little one
Anarch: Why you threatening the man with a stick.
Anarch: Yer as bad as the singing lady over there.
Cien Morkai: 'cause he's a Twizzle
Dode: i've never done anything to you
Anarch: She wanted to shoot me for being blue.
Cien Morkai: you were born .. thta's bad enough
Daisy WillowKnot: *shakes her head*

I hope it wasn't as bad in game as seems now ... just by reading it.  Whoever plays Dode, my apologies ... I  confused Dode with another character who Cien doesn't like.  I guess ... Cien was in a really grumpy mood that day and felt like lashing out a random stranger who was, appearently being friendly to her.

I save my logs b/c memory is ... not very good.  I honestly can't remember if Cien has/had any reason to be so rude to Dode ... if she ever even knew him before that encounter.  Maybe I should read my logs more often ... or figure out a better way keeping track of characters: who's meet who and what-not ....

Here's what I do for my chars. In the Journal page for each one, I keep all the immediate details for my chars. (Yes, I'm obessive-compulsive, deal with it, I do).

** backstory **
Height: 5' 11" (180cm)
Weight: 162 lbs. (74kg)
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Brown
Age: 33
God: Oghma
Desc: This blond human man of middle years is often seen wearing a slight smile.
History:
- From Secomber (on R. Delimbiyr, due east of Waterdeep, south of Star Mounts in High Forest). Son of Shull Marlin (fisherman) & Lilly Waldon (dtr. of Bo Walden, owner of the Hook & Scale tavern).
- Didn't care all that much for fishing and small-town life. Set out at age 20 to see the world. Made his way to Waterdeep, worked on fishing boats there, ingratiated himself with owner of the fleet Jerl Urndall. Jerl was well-educated, whetted Alek's appetite for knowledge.
- Left Jerl and Waterdeep at age 31 in late Ches, traveled north on Long Road thru Amphail, Red Larch, Westbridge, Triboar, Longsaddle, Xantharl's Keep, to Mirabar; picked up stories and hints of knowledge along the way.
- On the trip north from Waterdeep to Mirabar, developed his moderate singing voice enough to occasionally pay for his meals with a song or story.
- Remained in Mirabar for 2 years, then longing to see the sea again, made his way with a caravan to Port Llast.

...

I use the "accounts" section for any debts he has, or is owed (such as from a dungeon crawl where a player has to leave quickly). In the list of PC names, I'll often put a + or - symbol after the name to indicate like or dislike, and jot a reason why. It's a system that works fairly well for me.

[OneCosmicSoul]

Okay.. you are just freaking brilliant. =D

[ZippyConspiracy]

Hee hee. I do that sort of thing too. I usually put in thoughts about people, age, home, etc. With Imizael I even have her keep track of the amount of spells she knows (Her spell book has 164 spells as of right now.) and sometimes even what she spends her money on. >.>

[tsunami282]

Okay.. you are just freaking brilliant. =D

Actually, somebody else told me to jot stuff down in the journal as a reminder. Forget who it was. Whoever it was, thanks!

[Abraxas77]

Aha! After a little more research, I found the reference to "justify" Cien's ill-temper towards Dode.

Saline: I wish I had a cute little dog to follow me around.
Belaar: *nods* as do I
Geno Null: But you do.
Dode: i'm glad i don't
Geno Null: You have a little cute dog right of you.
Belaar: *glances over shoulder* if it doesn't act nice...it can always be banished
Dode: i have a dog next to me yes, not a cute little one...
Geno Null: *pulls a mouthful of smoke from a pipe*
Saline: I don't see a dog.
Geno Null: Right here.
Dode: that's what you said it was...
Cien Morkai: cute dogs smile and lick your face
Cien Morkai: what!?
Saline: Are you seeing things?
Cien Morkai: you calling me a dog, mister?
Geno Null: Wow the dog speaks
Manara Kala: *comes back out bearing a pot of freshly cooked stew*
Geno Null: Cute little Chiuahuah......
Ael'Kathean: -looks over to Geno- ... Oh, such a perfect shot right now... -held onto the crossbow on his belt-
Saline: Picking on smaller people? That's not nice. *rests his hand on the hilt of his blade*
Cien Morkai: *wrinkles her nose*
Ael'Kathean: -snickers- Sir, I think ya better find a gnome t'get ya some spectacles.
Geno Null: *psuhes the dog around*

{... yadda yadda ...}

Cien Morkai: why don't you just go away
Dode: why don't you
Cien Morkai: because I was here first!
Saline: I can almost see.
Dode: and i will be last
Ael'Kathean: -clears his throat-
Ael'Kathean: Leave her alone.

{... yadda yadda ...}

Cien Morkai: Yeah, I'm not the one with such an ugly I gotta hide it like these misters
Richard Crowne: Yep, and her self-reliance has made us kind of fond of her.
Nikolaous: Iid b e best for everyone to sheath those weapons
Manara Kala: Ay. . This is camp. . fight where there's no fire
Geno Null: *yawns*
Ael'Kathean: Put 'em down.
Cien Morkai: they prolly got mountains of boils with green puss oozin' out and black stuff
Ael'Kathean: -a hand still gripping his spear-
Dode: i have no weapon
Geno Null: See, these peopel nothign but talk.
Dode: what ever makes you feel better tiny one
Ssz'Imza: Yes, nothing.
Ael'Kathean: -snickered-
Saline: *laughs*
Ael'Kathean: Nice hit, there
Saline: Nice.
Belaar: *soft chukle*
Cien Morkai: take off your mask ugly ... maybe ~then~ I'll be scared
Saline: That'll shut him the hell up.
Ssz'Imza: *sheaths his weapons*
Dode: i listen to no one but myself

{... yadda ...}

Cien Morkai: *to dode* good, then you won't mind me calling you orc face
Dode: if that's how you see it.

... and there you have it.  That's how Dode came to be on Cien's badside as well as earned the nickname, "OrcFace".


{BTW, I hope nobody minds my posting of people's RP ... but that also happened to be one particular instants of conflict that I enjoyed.  It was also a litte funny b/c Marna (a halforc) seemed to get a little offened indirectly by Cien's choice of words (she didn't really notice Marna's injured expressions at first).}

... thanks for the suggestion tsunami ... it's just that I tend to get caught up in my RP and forget to make notes like that ... then, when I get a chance I forget what was said or what I need to note ... then I just tell myself, "oh well, I have it in my logs somewhere ...."

lazy ... yeah ... maybe I should try to be a bit more OCD like that.

[Chyelle]

I have the original notes from when I first started playing here.  Its funny to see my columns of who Pylia knew and who Chyelle knew and what DM NPC intervention there was.

And to this day I regret not writing the player name - not just the character name "Taera Karanol" down for what was simply the greatest peice of impromptu RP I have ever witnessed or been part of.

Okay  :oops:  it also has "how to cook meat" and send tells... as I was mostly clueless on how to communicate when dead.

[Oscer the Rogue]

Trying to explain to someone how to open a radial menue on a slab of meat.. You would think it easy.. but nnoooooooo..  :roll:
