You have FAILED to successfully roleplay!

Grrr.... *makes mental note: One is generally not allowed when roleplaying to simply say what their character is doing....* *grumbles*

*sighs*

Well, on the plus side, at least I'm not mentally cringing from my (lack of) attempt. That's an improvement over Beloit.

LOL

The last time I tried role playing I made my character chaotic neutral and had him doing things like sweeping the steps when everyone else was readying weapons. I think that was the beginning of the end for me and role playing.

Of course, that also works with the Renaissance Festival when I was bringing books to the parties and the tavern because I didn't want to talk to anyone (and ironically I was reading The Agony and the Ecstacy - and I really must get more into the Italian Renaissance. Highly recommend April Blood - about the plot to kill Lorenzo di Medici and the way he made the Pazzi family pay. One of the wouldbe assassins didn't want to pull off the hit in a church so they hired a priest to do it instead. And Machiavelli cites the decision of one wouldbe assassin to yell "Die Tyrant!" as one of the things you DON'T do when trying to kill a rival. You might as well yell "Woohoo! Lorenzo. You might want to run away now becaus I have a big knife and I'll kill you if you don't get away. Please feel free to hang me from a window and spread stories about me biting my co-conspirator when you get your hands on me. And don't worry about my family. I don't mind that you're going to slaughter them for this trick." - It's also cool because the Italian Renaissance didn't really have princes. Or they did but the banker families like the Borgias and the Medicis ran the show anyhow - and Lorenzo's gradnson is in this other book I have called "Bad Popes")

I don't really know if there was any moment when I knew that I wasn't going to be a pagan for the rest of my life.
