Roleplaying goals
Whatcha wanna do?

More verbose emotes!

Sometimes, it feels like I perform a whole lot of the same motions in my emotes, often with the exact same words. I want to increase my motion vocabulary; give my emotes a little more color and flavor rather than constantly repeating myself in my movements.

Be more proactive!

There should never be a time when I log in, and can't think of anything to do. It happens sometimes, and that stunts character progression, when you're not doing anything. Also, it's kinda boring. It doesn't have to be anything big; the city doesn't need to burn down whenever I wake up, but I should always have a goal, no matter how small.

What do you want to improve about your own play?

Take more risks: tied to the above. Feels sometimes like I should take more risks and do more themely reactions to things, but I talk myself out of it because there's little to no IC justification for it without a heaping load of @notes and documented character opinions. Without that background, it can seem to others like I'm just doing..well..random and unjust things.

Gender: I find it hard not to play like my OOC gender. This is a challenge. It's a good one.

The staff have supplied us with a incredibly diverse range of tools for content creation which largely go ignored. Yes, I'm speaking directly to you, tailors, artists, and other characters with the artistry skill. And to those without as well. In addition to materials, which I'm starting to get better about tasking people with making, there's canvases, which until recently I didn't realize have coded support for any type of art, not just paintings on the walls. If a good Banksey-inspired idea didn't just pop into your mind, you're not trying hard enough. And that's just one largely ignored opportunity. There's bigger ones than that, but more can't be said without getting IC.

There are two ways.

.do politely

or

pose politely .do

Including the word "pose" as a COMMAND allows you to write a pose where the first word of the pose is not a dotted verb.

The command 'pose ' is on 'examine me', and it takes as its argument a string which likely contains dotted verbs and potentially pronouns or names.

Your *goal* is to keep only 1 item of something? It seems like you're already doing that per what you've written.

General note: There also, there may be IC reasons some characters have two or so of an item. A cyberdoc having 3 - 4 coolers for example makes sense if they use them. A tailor having 5 rolls of cotton on hand. Someone who has bad luck with getting pick pocketed may own 2-3 phones. Someone who has died a few or handful of times might keep a backup item.

Having 5, 8, 15 of something you're not using is kind of silly and should be sold back out (unless you're about to make bombs, drugs, etc) as we have more players now than before.

Redacted IC fun thing about forts. ;)

@OP: So, goals.

Hack the planet!

(n_n)

(Wait...) <.< >.> <.<

To help create more items that aren't in game and fuck the corporate council, Vetra, rule the Corporate council from behind/ the scenes. *wink*

But really, to answer OP, items & helping to create a certain transporting situation/thing, & continue to try to consider possible (future) RP instances when things happen and create some RP instances without breaking character (much).

How's that OP'er? *wink* (n_~)

It was to never have MORE than one of an item. You should not then extrapolate that to mean "one of every item".

Psst. I did not extrapolate that at all. ;)

You wrote: I try to never hold on to more than one of something without a really good reason ... .

I wrote (since this was *goals*) that it seemed you were already doing that per what you wrote. :)

Given the time i have available for the game (not much) and the fact that a lot of the time i AM on i'm multitasking with other things like schoolwork, work, kid, etc. I tend to take things reallllllly slow. I don't jump into RP or conflict because i'm afraid i won't be able to follow up on it if i do. I try to foster IC relationships to some success, but most people don't have the patience for the slow route, which isn't their fault, it's mine. So after thinking on it here are the things i've decided to work on to flesh out my character better:

1) Not being afraid to take that big risk. I take little risks, but i've never stepped over that imaginary line into big risk territory. That's behind me now.

2)Mixing the little fun with the big fun. Basically remembering that my character has more depth than i do, probably. Everytime i log on i want to mix up my time. Do something silly and fun, but also make steps toward that next big payout and make -both- stand out, at least to me.

3)That brings me to: Always have a big goal in mind. Then set little goals to reach that big one. This way time restraints(hopefully) won't seem so paralyzing. I can make a step toward the little goal. I usually just flitter around until i find something to jump into or -not-.

4)REALLY master that .pose. Its funny. Because its hard. And ALL the people who think they've mastered it haven't. EVERYONE makes a LOT of mistakes. I know i do.

5)Sometimes i lose focus of my character's origins. I like the mix of different nationalities and cultures under the dome. A lot of people bring -something- different to the mix and i -love- that. My character's a little different, not by leaps and bounds, but sometimes she gets played as a dome native. Maybe there's some integration going on as there should be, but i don't want to forget her "History". I've stuck with it this far...i want to focus on it more going forward, too.

I'm sure i'll think of other things too, but that's enough for now. This was long. Sorry.
