Don't assume that you know their character from a first glance. They may well have very good reason to be doing what they're doing. That is all.
Loxxy deserves a thanks, a thumbs up, and a cookie for being awesome.

I know I can't argue with you Loxxy, so I won't. I will say this though: If you were to get on the server, right now, I could assure you that you'd find a minimum of five living DKs hugging and kissing Belfs. I'm all for freedom in how you RP a character, but no one in their right mind could support something like that. There are too many people RPing living DKs as being happy, sexually active normal people. That isn't an opinion. It's a fact.

This.
I can't say I have been on the server for very long, probably around two months now but while it has awesome, creative players, it also has a number of people that pretty much want to tell what your character can or cannot do, sometimes to the point of raging all over. Seriously, it's like Rensin said on his leaving post: It's their character, not yours. I completely agree with it, as long as the said character is not killing lore with it's existence. As for sexing characters, leave them be. I don't take sides on the matter, ERP is quite fine with me as long as it makes some sense (like your character being other's lover or something). Also, people do take care to put it on party. If it still bothers anyone, I believe the problem lies with you and it might be better to leave the place where the said RP is rather than rageflooding the players.

Saiyuu, it's not the fact they ERP. Hey I am sure everyone does that sometimes...It's that they are Death Knights. I have no problem with letting a person play their character how they want and everything but I sometimes feel that have not spent enough time reading up lore-wise. This is mainly for Death Knights and it would just solve a lot of problems if people just spend half an hour maximum just ready about Death Knights then they would understand where we are coming from when they do/say some of the things they do on their Death Knights.
And I really think this is getting off-topic from the guild. Might I suggest further discussion about Death Knights and what-not are taken to another post? Start one if needs be...But I think it's probably time to leave poor Ben's guild post unless it is directly related to the guild.

Agreed. Lore about DKs is pretty irregular too so it might be difficult to really tell how they really feel and react to things. But yes, this is moving right downhill from the real reason this thread was made, if people feel like discussing more about Death Knights, might as well make a thread on General Discussion or something, this way other people will also be encouraged to give criticism and tips.

... I get the feeling we might just be rehashing ourselves here.
If the GMs have a problem with it, they will post about it. Let's not be overly-criticizing, last I checked, we were all complaining about criticism about a month ago.
Simply post your opinion, and be done with it. Getting too offensive over it simply makes you look bad.
Let us not derail this thread any further.

I'm sorry, but I believe that you don't have the required degrees to make valid assessments on how the human mind works.
This would make you an armchair psychologist.
Have you ever considered that trying to be normal is something people tend to do after being around (either subject to or the cause) a horrific incident?
No? Of course you didn't. That would make too much sense.
Have you ever heard of a defensive mechanism? Or repression?
Probably not. That would require you to think.
By the way, yes. You can argue with a GM. I take it you probably got yelled at her and are now trying to get in her good graces. I also take it that you probably did something tremendously stupid to have her go after you.
Also,

This is called contradicting yourself.
Learn not to do it.
My advice? Don't RP with them. It's not a new concept, nor is it hard.
Don't like someone? Don't deal with them.
It's as simple as that. For most people of course.
tl;dr You're wrong. You know nothing of what you're talking about
You're probably being passive-aggressive.
Deal with it.

Any further discussions about the Death Knight class or anything surrounding that discussion thus far in this topic should be taken to a discussion topic of its own or PMs.
Now; Everyone, stay on topic. Please.
Thank you.
Apologies for my previous derailings.

Thank you!
Now for the news.
Unfortunately, the aforementioned virus attack wasn't quite as simple as I previously thought. I was online yesterday, but it struck at my files again. I'm hoping that upon this next re-installation the problem will be solved, however I'm away this weekend on a Duke of Edinburgh expedition, and so cannot test until next week.
Sorry for the inconvenience to those involved in the guild, the cover story was that Paul was away hunting a Gnommish Death Knight - Spiligrack.

Indeed I have Wuvvums, no results.
I'll post in the IC forums when I return with the low-down on the fight between Paul and Spiligrack. It looks all epic-full in my head.
Epsilon has the ability to invite to the guild, so if you would like an invite while I'm not around, go ahead and ask!
