I knew I could trust you two!  :D
I have been planing an RP thread for a while actually, called "hight affairs", but that is a very different kind of RP from this, more in lines whit the RP that was in KQ for a while. I should be "mortals not allowed" and the RP similar to the Tacticus game, except whit no game. The participants RP various strange divine creatures, as on the forum like I do in all the time, like I know you two can, and discus mostly various made up multiversal events, among other things of epic scope.
But this is of topic in this thread.

By the way, Fenrir, do you read A Kobold's Quest or not?

For a more classic RP(G) it would be fun but I don't have many ideas for a plot. I am good at simulating world and coming up whit interesting things to have in them, but I really cant get a good story plot. Ideas are welcome.

I think we (meaning me, Fenrir, Reign, and possibly Stonemane because he has shown possible sim talent) should try to talk on the chat, I am at #Blitukus from in about an hour from the posting of this every day in a few hours.
Or some of you could post a RP thread and I would immediately feel obligated to visit it and RP three times a day...

I think this is of topic, someone should create an own topic for it, and I probably wont for long. Fenrir, Reign, if you want this, and you do, then it's up to you to organize it, as son as anything has begun to possibly being discussed I will probably storm in commandeering the idea, and proceed to lead a wonderful RP.

As for this tread, I think it might be best to wait for the original GM to come back, at least we can wait, say a week.
I still want Karicoth in this.

I haven't yet. I may, just to see what I'm missing, but I've been too lazy to read the whole thing.

I can't chat with you, so I'll post an RP thread when I get the chance.

(heya armok, i would like to have you play with us but your kobold is far too powerfull to join the rest of the novices, and far to powerful to stalk the dwarves as enemies. Once they start thier fort you can steal from them once they have some wealth though. im shure they will have some insidious traps you you  :D)(I am just a casual GM so if you start your own game i wont take it personally, i dont even post on weekends)

You MUST read it! It is Beyond Quality, missing it is as bad as missing DF, imagine if you never had brothered whit DF?
Read it now, you will not regret!
And you wont understand half the references in any RP I make if you have not read it.

Whit sim talent I meant simulation ability, the gift to run detailed and acurate simulations you your mind. I'm really no good at explaining things, AlanL is the only other one exept me I know for sure have it and he can explain much better.
I hope you have it and some signs indicate so might be the case, but its not at all certain.
The implications of having this ability run far beyond making pretty stories and RP, due to certain properties of the concepts of reality and sentience it in some ways make one a god, I calling myself Armok id actually not only RP.
This is deep, really deep, and over the forum only I cant really judge if you truly have it, or properly explain it. Thats why I want to speak whit you on the chat so badly.

This post is horribly of topic and directed mostly to Fenrir if you have not understood that.

Edit: in responds to R_U:
I am almost insulted, I don not intend to simply try to kill the dwarves as much as possible, and would probably not win a direct fight whit all of them eigther, I know how to RP this and I won't destroy your story. Kobolds are not just enemies and thieves, my goals are not to simply kill the dwarves, but to make them realize and regret. Then I might kill them, but probably not.
I have a story worked out for this kobold, and realy I like this RP and killing all the dwarves of or something similar would just be stupid. I will play my part and try to make things interesting.
I will kill only in self defense.
Pleeease?

Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with armok here. You should probably read all the comments and stuff too.

You might disregard it but I will not give up hope, and as long as I remain unobserved bu the dwarves my presence cant be truly excluded, as per quantum mechanics.
RP, this is the events occurring during the time passed by the GM:
---------------------------------------------

As soon as the dwarves were truly on their way and had disappeared a few hundred feet down the road; the dark form in the tree suddenly jerked into motion, the kobold dropped to the ground and landed on his feet whiteout making a sound, his digitigrade stance allowing a much smoother landing than a plantigrade creature could manage, he ran completely silent yet faster than most humans twice his size could have managed at their fastest, instinctively flowing from shadow to shadow, looking more like a almost invisible wave of liquid darkness than a running creature.

The flow made it's way towards the note the dwarves had so carelessly dropped after reading, reaching the goal it would appear to anybody seeing this as that the shadow just disapered into noting together whit the note when he stood still, but that is not the case, Karicoth read the note, a threat letter in the ever ongoing war of the naked apes, he couldn't care less. Or could he? after all, what right had these humans to destroy a creature much older and wiser than themselves in order to make furniture out of it? Personally Karicoth had never needed furniture, kobolds generally don't as they don't put the same weight in comport as humans or dwarves. He slipped the note into a pocket as he began moving towards the half collapsed building, observing the detestation around, how meaningless, he thought, all for this strange idea of having more items that everybody else...

he grabbed one of the elven arrows, it was finely crafted by caring hands, how ironic as it was a weapon of war, he quickly slipped some of the arrows into his pockets, even if he had no bow but he lived by the philosophy that in enemy lands a sharp object might always come in handy.

He slid thought the almost closed door whiteout touching it, a feat for most but everyday survival in a narrow caves were kobolds evolved.
he flowed around the room, more relaxed now when hidden from outside view, searching the building closely, collecting all small objects, on the floor or looting the corpses, going thought the carpentry tools and taking everything small enough not to hinder his movements or slow him down. Coins, keys, various personal objects of the dead, various chisels and blades used in working the wood, some measuring instruments, even water from some barrels taking some fat to waterproof some of his pockets. Quite soon he discovered a patch of dirt looking freshly dug, he dug there reviving
[whatever R_U had planned on being hid there] after finishing his swift yet detailed search he slid up a wall, even himself unsure if he leaped or climbed, up thought the broken roof and flowing up a tree trunk, leaping from tree to tree until he cough up whit the dwarves, then he slowed to move parallel to the wagon, almost walking from interconnecting branch to interconnecting branch, effortlessly staying hidden at this slow pace, observing the dwarves carefully.

Edit: as Fenrir so kindly points out... spelling and gramar...  :roll:

The spinning ‼horrible grammar‼ strikes the reader in the head!
The reader's brain has been bruised.
The flying ‼horrible spelling‼ strikes the reader in the head!
The reader's brain has been torn.
The reader gives in to pain.

I hate to be critical, but run that through a spell checker or something!

No offense Armok, but I agree with Fenrir. I smiled-whiteout making a sound-
Looks nice though, you're a good writer.

(oh and i think he did run a spellchecker, but he did not analyse the results, and instead took the first correction made by the program)

Thanks for letting me in!  :)

Do you think I am a good writer? I don't feel like it, but before getting it disproved by a lot of praise both Stonemane and AlanL claimed to be bad writers to, so maybe I'm realy awesome at it but just don't notice it myself? If I am as good as those then it would be morally unjustifiable NOT to write and share that gift. It seems this might be a common phenomena in peaple whit sim ability.
If so... Fenrir, do YOU consider yourself a good or bad writer? it might be a good indicator.

More on-topic, if we now have decided to include me could you please tell me what objects I found? And other things I noticed whit my more carefully search and better attention to detail? Especially I am curious on what I found under that patch of turned soil...
