Some thoughts on rumour and reputation, (or "Cybereye" and you) |

Whenever you have a group of Nightelf females together, accusations of "OMG teh cyb0ring" will fly around our pointy ears. Until our sisters in the Bloodelves arrive, this situation is unlikely to change. The vast majority of our characters are female, which hardly makes it less suspicious in the eyes of people who, for one reason or other, have an axe to grind with us.
And there are people who have an axe to grind with us. This is due to personality clashes as well as a perception of elitism. But for the reasons I mentioned above these people who dislike us have a potential weapon to wield against us - and against which it is very difficult to defend.
So, we are not going to get dragged into trench war-fare denials. We are going to ignore with grace and elegance and let them seethe when they see us fail to react.
Now, I quite like the general atmosphere in the guild. Personally I have no issues with "erotic role-playing" or "teh cyborx" or whatever you want to call it. What I do have a problem with is when I get it shoved in my face. Just to clarify, humourous flirting and adult chatter in /g is not the problem. The problem is if this sort of thing spills over and becomes inappropriate behaviour "in public".
The theme of Silvereye is arrogant defenders of Her vision, not ditzy giggling hentai elves. I don't have the impression that we have any of this sort of member (and we have avoided recruiting such in the past), but keep this issue in mind, and make sure that we do not give anyone any extra ammunition.
And thusly: the topic of cybor. If you choose to indulge, do so in a private channel, and in a location where you will not be disturbed.
While I personally imagine the Kaldorei as above petty things like narrow-minded giggling body-shame, I am completely aware that this is a 13+ game, and that many other people do not share my attitude.
I am sure that you all do too.
Thanks for reading this over-long post, and any comments you may have on this issue are welcome either here, or via PM.

Some people have too much time on their hands. Seriously. Spending time on spying for potential cyb0r action? *snickers* How lame can you get...
Anywho, to me the prospect of teh cyb0rx (loathe the word by the way) comes as natural to me as any other part of rp. So my character has a sex life. Well, duuuh? I play that as seriously as I do any other aspect of the character. To me, to be spied upon while cby0rxxxorslolling is just about as rude as it would be in real life. Because I take it seriously.
The only cardinal sin I will admit to in that regard is that Sent became too happy-go-lucky over the last couple of months of play and that it took her from what she was meant to be. That I apologize for. I also apologize for the whole Lytrea affair, something that no doubt did nothing to better the public view of Silvereye, even if she wasn't even a member. She was a mistake, plain and simple, and I wish now that I had never made her, or at least the image of her.
Hilarious incidents if discovered can ensue though. The best weapon I've used is to simply stand up and be all cheerful and welcome people, tell them politely that we're kind of having a private moment, and send them off with a happy smile. Works surprisingly well and provided some (awkward, granted) rather funny dialogue. Private channels or instances are the way to go though. They're there, might as well use them instead of running the risk of ending up in an aciddy thread on the AD forum.
My two cents.
I have spoken.
*nods and poofs back to obscurity*
