Apart from Oi, you mean? Well, most people who want to be polite call Paladins 'masters', ie. 'master Paladin' or 'Master Lórannon', but quite frankly that cracks me up XD
Schiri ain't got no street cred. This we knew from the kittens.
Mmm, innnteresting ... I think Binni's perspective may just pull something out for me ... thankees, hon!
Ah, a rotating cube, hmm? Remarkable. I can already think of a thousand situations in which it would be of no use conceivable use whatsoever.
This is one definition: Meta - is the hazy world between the actual ‘game’ and where our muse sits at our shoulder telling us what to write.
A better way to describe it would be if you were to have an OOC conversation in an IC manner.
...If that makes sense.
So, a meta answer in this case would be if someone gave you the names of two characters from to completely different universe, especially if those two universes couldn't co-exist. Character A would really have no idea who Character B is, and so would have to answer it the way you or I would answer in regards to a character in a book.
I hope that helps a tiny bit. Meta is a difficult thing to explain unless you encounter it. I could possibly give you links to threads that are considered meta.
Hoo, tricky ... so it's like a theoretical bit of writing? King Arthur trying to explain the Enterprise to Launcelot? Is it the same thing if you temporarily pretend that two characters can coexist (ie. what would Julius Caesar say to Napoleon)?
... maybe I do need an example XD Would you mind? I'm all curious now.
Techincally, these conversations will have no bearing on Graham's IC character by way of the prompt answers he'll provide for Theatrical Muse, unless the writer decides that the 'fanon' developed between these characters are relevant to the prompt in question. They may not even have a bearing on his RP interaction, unless the two writers in question decided thatit would be fun to have Hermes drop down and hang out in England for a while in disguise.
Aha, so this is linked to the fact that roleplay characters are developed through roleplay (see, I'm good) as opposed to some sort of established story? And so meta is sort of like something that doesn't count, or just doesn't necessarily have to count? Maybe? >_> I assume it's usually just for fun, then.
I've probably got totally the wrong idea, but if so it's my very special brain's fault and not your explanations XD;; Thanks a lot for the links! :D :D
a yoyo? Be glad it wasn't popcorn.saltnesterAugust 29 2007, 14:01:28 UTC
couldn't "meta" be 'metaphorical paragraph'? That would be interstring.
Would it me bean and nasty if I asked of ser Tintauri and the Queen (his, not mine)? you don't need to touch that lot with a bargepole if it worries you, though. [just wants to play, really]

Ooh, I could write a metaphorical story. This line represents the storyline ... these dots represent characters ... done!
Hahaha, it does worry me, because that bunch have 'contagious' written all over them (not sure who did that ... Morgant, maybe) - but I think something just bit me again, so I'm going to do it, woo! scripturi te salutamus! :D
I'm struck by the odd desire to ask what Jori thinks of Lindan ...
[points at icon] !saltnesterAugust 29 2007, 20:49:07 UTC
Morgant! ^_^ Sweetling... uh, hopefully not a zombie?
They never met...It's easy to tell what Jori thinks about someone, however - he thinks they're beautiful, because they're them and that's interesting...
To eat? Does she like them to eat? :D :D Because I have a seven-course meal she could tuck into, no problem! (That's probably the sort of thing that would appeal to Ima more, I suppose.)
(Because Caius would HAVE to be a mesmer and I've already got two XD) Orinnia and Fiannas, eh? I'll have to check Orinnia's department again ... she *may* not have met Fiannas personally if she's Artefacts, as I suspect. But I guess she'd still have an opinion ...
*strokes his feathers* And you're only a birdbrain, love. Not the best birdbrain out there either.
*laughs hollowly* She's a hummingbird, not a shape-changer.
... Yet, anyway.
(T-T How about just making a Caius-screenie to show me? T-T) *bounces* It could have been worse. I could have had a working Elfwood so I could look up names of secondary characters from Caius' stories. XD
Fft, what kind of bird would have feathers anything like these? Rosella. Oh ... yes. Those are pretty. Peacock. I can see where you're going with this, you know.
Urm ... carnivorous hummingbird? >_> Please?
I'd probably have been forced to look them up too XD;;

*offers him a Rubix cube*
And for the meme~ Binni and Rannon X3 Or, sorry, Lady Binnilinde and ... Lórannon. Do paladins have titles? oO

I think meta is just the fandom term for discussion or analysis.

(As Caius might say, I think that any creature which clamours ceaselessly for brains is almost certainly NOT going to be an Acarthian.)

Cochalyon, have I mentioned lately how much I adore you?
*pats* Poor Lyss. *holds out Calliope* Maybe she likes Fae or elves.
Oh! Oh! How about... (Reminds me: why is there no Caius GW charrie? T-T) Uhm. How about... Orinnia and Fiannas.

Yes, a pity, that.
