We can only go by in game info, boards, and UO.Com.

Please send me the links to the information you have. And also please post a history of Evil in UOARPC, hopefully starting around pub 16, so that we may be better informed.

Thank you.

Again, I apologize for exploding at you, and I understand in a way because the RP is mostly done behind closed doors now. You need to have the connections.

Sadly, a lot of the online info has disappeared. Azalin took down the OES website. A lot of IC OES books can be found in The Grand Britannian Repertory, it's just outside of Zento by the northwestern exit, the first house directly to the right of the inn if you look at your minimap.
Just quickly going through the books, an old Cappadocian I know of has a few in here.

I can write up things about the Umbra OES history and give Oblivion worshipping history and lore, but it might have to wait until my days off. Work is leaving me beat! I've got a write up for how to RP a vampire on Atlantic (specifically a Tzimisce) that I could show you, too. I was speaking with a few oldies tonight and I'll work on getting as much info together as possible.

As well, if you want any sort of IC or OOC roleplay class, I would be happy to offer it. I've got a vampire character that could teach you ICly about things, such as the old vampire circles and their plans and their inner workings.

For now though, I should really get to bed. I should have been in an hour ago ><

Edit: Side note, when my vampire was but a thrall, her sire told her to go and read the Scholomance and get a sense of what she was getting into. Looking at some of these books reminded me of it :3

And, if you want more necromancy history, Barl is a good person to go to as well. It might be a good idea for us to work together to try and put together a cohesive evil RP history that we could keep available for people to see.

Lol and again, that would only teach you some of it. There has been alot of evil Rp over the years.. with Zog and Realm of Umbra and Dark Order, Brotherhood of the Hand.. Stormreaver Orcs House Strathmore..

Really. It's alot.

But if I can become ooc aquainted with it, so can you.

Yeah, that is very true. I am going to poke you Umbra guys for some lore stuff so we can at least put together a necromancy history an a vampire history. I should have been more specific.

Check the Atlantic RP Wiki, the old OES webpage is there in bits and pieces, as well as tons of other evil lore.

The evil lore sections of the Grand Britannian Repertory contain much info as well, I believe we have several shelves dedicated to the history of evil on Atlantic.

Thank you for your quick response.

However, since we the Giovanni don't want this to happen again. I would urge you to post your class in this forum so that we all may learn. Also, as roleplay goes, who makes them the experts on Vampire/marshmallows/necromancy/carebears? The world was flat, then when we travelled around it we thought the sun rotated around us. Now we know we rotate around the sun.

I guess what makes a good RP'r IMHO is one that adapts not one that sits on the laurels of RP past.

In seeing that the community (or a select few in it) are quite tied to the past feeling it is SUPPOSED to be the way. You will need to teach all of us. In game would take weeks perhaps months, make a post and we all can read it and carry on with fun RP. This timeline doesn't count any new members you would have to start new classes for.

Thank you for offering to make this information public knowledge.

As for your offer on how to RP a vampire, the roleplay 101 primer written Oct 2007 does reference VTM for baseline, and we will use other GM's to fill the rest out.

Thank you, again, thank you.

Guide to evil rp...

Just remember. On Atlantic, Beleth was > Oblivion.

Any Atlantic rper should understand the significance of that.

Wow, reading this forum brings back memories. Guess most roleplay communities on any shard have the same sorts of issues.

New versus old, Veteran versus newbie..... It is hard on both sides... coming into a community a "baptism by fire" if you will you jump in do some background reading, prep work for your character and try to merge into the traffic lane which is the plot lines etc already running on that shard. For those already in the plotline or having secured their place in traffic comes choices as do I become defensive, offensive or remain neutral.

I have watch board warriors on Great Lakes the long dead "departed roleplayers" those who have resurrected after years of being "lost" and fresh new blood.... and collisions apparently happen all over.

Its hard when the historic rp you've known and love begins to shift, when old timers leave game and new faces come. New ideas etc. Change is always hard. It is NOT possible I don't think to maintain a 100% accurate chronology of a shards rp history. Websites come and go, players move on in their lives... stuff gets lost, deleted and forgotten.

I encourage all to communicate instead of getting defensive or offensive. Maybe there is an in game solution... a story tellers night? A historian character in game? I'm trying to read and read and read before I do anything but work skills.

In Medieval times storytellers and lore keepers were prized for their entertainment value... were they not? Maybe an event where there is a camp fire and an encampent? Where someone wanders in and instead of a fight you get to share food and tales of battle, history etc?

There has to be a way to bridge this information gap, exchange stuff in character and avoid squashing anyones toes or trampling over graves.

I've got no problems with time changing, and the history shouldn't affect how any of you play your characters. But making bold statements like you are THE BEST NECROMANCERS on a server you just joined, as well as being hostile when people tell you otherwise, just doesn't sit well. I mean, you say you want to learn, but then get aggressive in other threads. We're not telling you to change what you're doing at all, and quite frankly being told "WELL HISTORY CAN BE REWRITTEN AND WE'RE REWRITING IT SO THERE KTHXBYE" comes off like a big frack-you to everyone else. I fully admitted that it's hard to pick up lore and would be happy to write up a fast and easy history, but I'm starting to feel like it's not worth my time to. Would you honestly even care or read it?

Dont trust what anyone tells you about The Zog Cabal, all of their information is wrong. if you really need to know. i can tell you all that it not locked in my mind from outsiders.

Where did you derive that interpretation from my post? Actually, I said quite the opposite:
