Power Struggles by Cheshire on November 2nd, 2010, 2:40 am
Hello Everyone I do not have school tomorrow so I decided to tackle a blog since I really do not need to go to bed. Todays topic is really just what is cheesing me off. Although I know what I want to rant about is by far not a new topic it is still one that really twists my whiskers if you know what I mean. The topic of the day is the balance of power. It exists in very many places. In some places it is very easy to see and in others there is complete chaos due to the lack of it. The truth of it is that there always needs to be power, it is sadly the evident truth. The thing is, it does not need to be an overbearing power. It can simply be an overseer nudging wrongdoers in the right direction or even a kind babysitter who plays with the kids she watches. No one needs to shove their power down other's throats, it is just something everyone wants to do once in their life. We want to know how it feels for people to be under our thumb. What shows our true power is when we have complete control and choose not to use it. A true leader is not one who exerts all of their power but steps back and lets their subordinates work as they should. I'd like to think that is how I run things. I like who ever I am working with (whether in Avanthal or else where) to feel like they have control, not just me. I understand that at times the "leader" needs to lead and take charge, please do not see this as me saying that I let my Vanthas walk all over me. I'm just saying that a group, whether it be a country, a roleplaying city, or even a small group of students in a club cannot reach their full potential if one person is ruling over everyone with an iron fist and an air of sadism. That is why if I am... | [ Continued ]

Character Creation by Deshira on January 26th, 2012, 3:03 am
I have undergone the extensive process that is Mizahar character creation. Woohoo. From the very beginning, since reading over all the different types of races, I was sure I wanted to be something along the lines of a Benshira, or Chaktawe. Eypharians are just a little too exotic for me at the moment. Still, I love the people from the desert in this world. I find them to be quite alluring.
The decision took a few minutes, but I decided on Chaktawe, simply because I'm fascinated with Brother Crow. He's gonna be my favorite god, I can tell. Still, I'm still so new to everything, who knows what will happen.
I'm just a little stumped on my character concept and background. I want Deshira to travel all over Mizahar. Get a taste of it and the people, besides just desert life. The only problem is that I'm not sure how to do that, and creating a history for her that would result in that particular life style. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be fabulous. Not only that, but there's always the nice travelling companion I would like to have join me. :/ Travelling alone, while being a very petite and prime female is dangerous! Very much so! D: Slaver caravans? Oh my! Not to mention scary Ekytol fauna. They freak me out. lol Hmm... perhaps I should start somewhere else? So many options!
Alright, all in all, this character sheet is taking me longer than I anticipated. I really hope tomorrow I can finish up and start playing. :/ But for anyone who might be reading this, I have a few questions.
1) What was your favorite thing about starting your character?
2) Where did you decide to start out at?
3) What in game goals do you have for your PC at the moment?
4) What have you accomplished in game?
If you're new like me, please comment! I'd be happy to chat! :)

How To Make A Woman Happy... by Cayenne on January 25th, 2010, 3:14 am
Sometimes, you get some really stupid crap in your email. Sometimes you get a few gems.
This is kind of one of them.
Some people say, you know, that it is absolutely impossible to please a woman. This list explains why it is not so. Sure, we might be demanding and we might be a little on the picky side, but we have our reasons. But seriously, guys, if you ever want to make us happy, I suggest you print the following off, and use it as a checklist. These are not one-time obligations, they are full-time!
It's not difficult to make a woman happy.
A man only needs to be:
1. a friend 2. a companion 3. a lover 4. a brother 5. a father 6. a master 7. a chef 8 an electrician 9. a carpenter 10. a plumber 11. a mechanic 12. a decorator 13. a stylist 14. a sexologist 15. a gynecologist 16. a psychologist 17. a pest exterminator 18. a psychiatrist 19. a healer 20. a good listener 21. an organizer 22. a good father 23. very clean 24. sympathetic 25. athletic 26. warm 27. attentive 28. gallant 29. intelligent 30. funny 31.. creative 32. tender 33. strong 34. understanding 35. tolerant 36. prudent 37. ambitious 38. capable 39. courageous 40. determined 41 true 42. dependable 43. passionate 44. compassionate
WITHOUT FORGETTING TO: 45. give her compliments regularly 46. love shopping 47. be honest 48. be very rich 49. not stress her out 50. not look at other girls
AND AT THE SAME TIME, YOU MUST ALSO: 51. give her lots of attention, but expect little yourself 52. give her lots of time, especially time for herself 53. give her lots of space, never worrying about where she goes
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT: 54. Never to forget: * birthdays * anniversaries * arrangements she makes
On the flip side...
HOW TO MAKE A MAN HAPPY
1. Show up naked 2. Cook some food

IGNORE me. by Panna Cotta on October 8th, 2010, 2:30 pm
There comes a point in time when you just take people close to you for granted. They become part of your life, you breathe their existence that sometimes it is hard to distinguish the important role they play in your life. You are sure they will just be there. It will become mechanical and soon you blur them out. Instead of cherishing every moment and putting value in every minute you are together, you just chalk it up to being together in general.
Why does time do this?
Why does time make us realize that we are missing out on the important persons in our life only when the important person is on the verge of disappearing? Do we really have to lose someone before we decide that we should have "spent more time together, talked more together, gave attention and listened to what they were saying more often, more more more". I'm not sure but I think saying "If only I knew I'd lose you I would have done everything to prevent that from happening" is actually very stupid. It speaks a lot of how you handle relationships.
It is like planting a seed, waiting for it to grow, and once it had blossomed you lose the enthusiasm. The rain and the sun and the wind will take care of the plant, it will live on its own and happily grow if left untended. If it dies you say "what did I do wrong?"
You ignored it so much it died on its own. |
