f0xx Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Alright, this has bothered me before but I guess now is the time to vent off. What am I talking about? 2) Your desired race needs to be somewhat compatible with your original (ie, no elves applying to be giants, or vice versa.) Today I saw a human that is restrung to drider. In the past we had a slith restrung to something like gryphon, or another flying race. Why? Why do immortals approve such restrings and why do players go for such restrings at all? Doesn't it bother you that a cold blooded lizard race has nothing to do with a flying race? Doesn't it bother you that driders are outcasted DROWS. No humans, no elves. But drows who do not worship Lolth. At first I was going to put this in the the prayer forum, but then I decided to put it here since it is not a shot only at the immortals but at the players who apply for such restrings when "their desired is not compatible with their original race". At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celerity Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I agree that the drider should definitely be drow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0xx Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Also point two, some time ago I had a minotaur who applied for a Rhinocerus restring. I was told that there is no way to have a rhinocerus restring, since there is no way for a rhino to hold weapons, while at the same time we've had a minotaurs that have been restring to bulls before. Why is that so important? If we look this from an RP point of veiw, it is much easier for a rhino to develop fingers than for a bull, since bulls have hooves. Not just that, but hell, how do wisps carry weapons? How do rats carry weapons? How do snakes? If we are going to be so strict about a races then why don't we be so strict about ALL races? Either allow it (i.e. snakes carrying weapons) or do not. And I mean, do not allow it for anyone, and this includes mobs as well. That is, if we are going to be so strict. I mean, come on guys, we have living puddles. We have living sparks. Why can't we have a rhino who wields weapons? Just my 2cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f0xx Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 How the hell the sqruirell bashes me and kicks dirt into my eyes? And how the hell does a squerell fight a minotaur, ogre or a giant at all? And managed to kill it even?!? I mean, even a minotaur baby should be able to kill a squerrel...

Sandbox Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 meh, i agree, however reptiles are really close to birds in structure so i can kinda of see where that one came from since its technically the closest to a bird race. avians have the body of a human so that would be farther away theoretically. i agree with no bulls, no rhinos etc. If your race doesnt have thumbs and you qrace to it you should be forced to use hand to hand only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinblades713 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I applied for a floating bot type character (Robot made by gnomes). I was denied cause it was too advanced. Then Fistilantus comes along (Awesome character Nekky, not bashing) and he's all advanced and ****. Then recently there's a Mecha and that's all pimped out and stuff. I just wouldn't mind consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry, since when can minotaurs be monks? :confused: I applied for a floating bot type character (Robot made by gnomes). I was denied cause it was too advanced.

I just wouldn't mind consistency.[/quote'] Oh thats nothing. I had a feral who applied for a clockwork goblin who was made by goblins. I was also told it is too advanced for goblins. Then comes kendriks. A goblin who is a savant psi elder. Yes, because being a savant psi elder is easier than assembling a rusty mechanism As Twin said, I don't mind it. After all it is only an RP tool, but if you are going to apply certain standards, there shouldn't be exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Nameless Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Who was that stone giant restrung to steamer. He was basically RPing a battle suit made by gnomes, controlled by gnomes, but was like the suit from alien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbox Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 all i can say is be careful how strict we make it because its nice having a diverse world, else everyone would be applying for nothing but undead and demons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0xx Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 meh' date=' i agree, however reptiles are really close to birds[/quote'] Still, avainas are much closer to gryphons than sliths. Aren't they? If you want that specific restring, then you should have considered that problem first? all i can say is be careful how strict we make it because its nice having a diverse world' date=' else everyone would be applying for nothing but undead and demons.[/quote'] It is not the strictness we are griping about SB. It is about rules, standards and consistency to keep them. If we aren't going to follow certain rules, why have them at all at first place?

The line here is the distinction between robots/computers and objects controlled by magic. There are no "robots" in FL. There are golems, or Mechanus, which are objects controlled by magic.

CurbsideProphet Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Driders, in essence, are demons no? I remember reading somewhere in the helpfile that they are demonic servants of Lloth (something to that effect). That Drider has been sitting at that rank for a while.

Archbishop Monk Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I would say considering Lloth herself is an demonic entity who does as she pleases, she could find a reason to 'punish' a specific human for one reason or another. And considering her lore here is not the typical, I can see why there is a drider if it was rp'd. The most important part would be how it became a drider. I once read a story about a transformation into a drider through some magical artifact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0xx Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Driders are NOT outcast drow, the are actually elevated Drow Priestesses of the highest power and dedication, transformed to driders by Lloth in a twisted sign of gratitude That is not correct. "In the game, they are drow which have been transformed from the waist down so they have the lower body of a spider. The transformation is typically a punishment for offending their goddess, Lolth, or failing one of her tests." Also, driders are not Demons.
