RP Posts of the Week - 13/08/08

[Mr Alencon]

Alright, this first one is a trial run, and if it works, we'll do it every week. Basically, every week you guys can nominate for the best single RP post of the week. This is aimed to increase the number of posts made, number of posts read, and also to highlight some of the more hidden talents that this site has. Winners will get their names posted on the info box at the top of the site.

This first week will be of all types of RPing posts, though in the future we may use different categories. Try to give decent reasons as to why you nominated the particular post, as well as why you think it is significant to the site.

Again, no nominating yourself, you egotistical bunch.

Post your nominations here, using the following format:

Name of Nominee: (Person who wrote the post)
Link: (Link to the thread where the post was made)
Reasons: (Give reasons why this person deserves the recognition, or why this post particularly stands out)

[Eshmunbaal]

Name of Nominee: Liu Shan
Link: rtkbattlefields.proboards55.com/index.cgi?board=her&action=display&thread=470&page=2
Reasons: At least he plays an actual human being, instead of a perfect general, leader of men who has no weaknesses and is perfect in every way. While this post doesn't include Shan, it's the perfect example of his npc, which is then/had already been carried on into Liu Shan.

[Wei Yan]

Name of Nominee: Liu Shan (Gong)

Link: First post by Liu Shan

Reasons: First off the guy has taken a character most people turn away from playing due to their own reasons, but mainly poor history and stats. He has no real ground to stand on, but Gong has picked him up and is using him rather effectively. Secondly, he's made the whole, two character thing work in a post. The two flow together rather well and it's great character building every post!

[Liu Shan]

Name of Nominee: Wei Yan
Link: Wei Yan remembering Rai is no more
Reasons: I thought it was a nice break from 'ever strong' warrior, to see him give what is seen as a hardy character some form of emotion... Thought it was quite sadening - made me well-up.


Name of Nominee: Cao Cao (we know who you are)
Link: Not a specific post, it is but I can't find it.
Reasons: I like how in the majority of the posts, we are allowed to see the mind and psyche of Cao Cao. Playing Cao Cao to how he is known, having quite a carnal desire, but also one who was quite intelligent and thought quite a lot... We'll just have to see if his poetry compares to the real thing in due course, I think.


Name of Nominee: Eshmunbaal
Link: The day Europe came to China
Reasons: With so many types of nationalities it seems impressive that in every pots the reactions for each type are different: from the Iceni to Lybians. Also, using the tactics from their respective countries shows a vast knowledge and creativity to his posts, with his PC being the only one to understand other characters instead of making out they all know... It is always great to read his posts, they're both entertaining and nostalgiac to what I should have learnt. hah!

[Mikey]

Funny that the first Punic war was 400 Years ago.

[Mortiss V3]

He jumped in a time machine/teleportation device in 146 BC. Interesting guy.

[Eshmunbaal]

Actually, the reason why that is because I thought rotk happened around 200BC. Yes, you may call me stupid for that. If it hadn't been for this american way of dating I wouldn't have missed by that kind of a marging.

And Mortiss, your character is much more unrealistic then mine, so shut the fuck up for once.

edit: also, if any of you want to start debating about the possiblity of a carthaginian in rotk china, make your own thread instead of ruining this one, idiots.

[Shi Man]

The Three Kingdoms period technically started in 220 AD, which is when the Han formally fell. The actual whole period of warfare preceding the three kingdoms and culminating in it started in the late 100s AD.

Hilariously enough, the time you mentioned is more about when the Han started.

[Mortiss V3]

And Mortiss, your character is much more unrealistic then mine, so shut the fuck up for once.

I aint the one being a little bitch about realism all the time.

[Shi Man]

It's ok, everybody who plays these games has a superiority complex anyways. So said a dude I talk to on another rp site, and he hit the mark so well with that quote.

[Wei Yan]

So when do we vote on this Alencon?
