What the hell is going on?
I'm not really affected, but something tells me when Rave gets on she's going to be pissed. Considering the fuss she made over Daniella Shentavo, that's not that far-fetched.
In the NS forum is a thread Bubba Shentavo's school of cooking. Today, someone created a nation Bubba Shentavo, and one called Grandpappy Shentavo. I'm guessing this is a puppet of some sort. Considering that Rave is going to be a lot less polite than me, it might be wise to deal with this now.
Just a heads up.

I don't think Rave will be amused. Unless it's her, which is highly doubtful.
I don't think Rave will be amused.
If Rave takes herself so seriously that she can't enjoy a good joke, then I'll quit. Seriously.
Rave is an excellent RPer, and I don't mean for what I'm doing to hurt her. :P
EDIT: This is not Rave. For the sake of transparency, this is Slag... which is proof that I DO in fact like Rave and am not doing this just to piss her off.

I'm fine with it, seriously, only Rave will really, really, go ape. She'll post things a lot less polite than me.

And if you quit because someone takes your not-so-funny-jokes seriously, then that's your call.

Slag is right. This is all done in fun, and for the sake of transparency, this is Angelus.
We're just having a spot 'o fun late at night when sleep dep has clouded our judgement. *grin*
If Rave chick cannot laugh at the joke, then it is her own loss.

As she's not online, I'm quite sure she is not.
And you know what I have to say? I really don't care. If one of you guys wants to go create a SLAGLand Bayou or something like that and have a nice rowdy hillbilly time at my expense, that's fine. Hell, I'll laugh at it. Joke threads are made about me all the time, and it does not bother me. If any of you guys are taking this game so damned seriously that you're leaving yourselves immune to ridicule, I both pity you and suggest you seek professional help. We are not doing anything malicious here.
WOOOOHEEEE!
Yo'se darn-tootin' right on da DOLLA dere, kiki!

I know. I'm just hoping someone tells her what you're doing before she sees that.

For the purposes of alleviating your fears, I have telegrammed Rave about who I am. Honestly, though, I don't think anyone needs to be jumping to her defense here. Rave is a big girl and can take care of herself. If she finds something personally offensive about it, she can come to a moderator and complain; she doesn't need someone like you telling us how you think she's going to feel... or even worse, how she should feel.
If Rave really has a problem with this, I'll stop, but I'll pity her if she does.

All I have to say, is that when someone did this to me not so long ago, I was pretty annoyed. However, they did do it with the sole intent of pissing me off, so I guess that's different in a way.

There are a bunch of nations with the name Shentavo. From what little I've heard, these nations are a bunch of roleplayers. I herd one claim that, in their roleplay, Shentavo is the name of a clan of vampires. However, I'm not 100% certain about this, and have not seen any vampire roleplay on this site. (Then again, it's a big site.)
cool, i'm invisible! :) :roll: :x
Whaddaya mean, you're invisible? I....
/me tries to look at Philopolis.
...hey! Where'd you go?

Yes, it is a clan of Vampires.
The reason I gave up Danya was because in an RP, to save my queen's life, Kain Shentavo sired her, and Daniella became a Vampire. She took on the clan name, hense the new nation.
I was not aware I caused sutch a problem. It was all roleplayed out.

Not a problem. Philopolis was merely unaware of what a Shentavo was. He's probably never seen your roleplays.
It's a big forum; it could happen. "Think about it for a moment." :wink:

As per Rave's request, I have deleted one of Kiki the Shentavo Cat's posts. It's thoroughly depressing when a respectable RPer loses her sense of humour...

Excuse me if I no longer have any respect at all for her, as a player or as a viable human being.
Her taking offense at something that was CLEARLY a joke is absolutely retarded.
But of course, one thing I have learned in all my years as a vampire storyteller is that vampire players take themselves way too damn seriously.
Their personal obsessions are downright FREAKISH.
Is this the thread that all fuss is about?

That would be my guess. It never came up in a mod/alert scan, so I didn't see it, before.

I wouldn't go quite that far myself, but there's something to be said for being able to handle some good natured, tongue-in-cheek mockery by several RP'ers who were a little sleep dep'd.
Personally, I'd advise Rave to stay the Hell out of General. If she can't handle three joke threads, she'd be eaten alive there.
That, or this forum would become even more crazy with complaints...

There's a reason I always avoided White Pooch's Wampire (and all their other non-Black Pup stuffs (in other words, everything but Freak Legion (Fomori)))...
I always preferred Call of Cthulhu anyway... but I wager that's somewhat obvious...
As you can see by the prodigous nested parenthetical phrases, I still haven't gotten any sleep...
