Title: [RP]Greeting a Monarch?
Post by: Kenji on June 30, 2011, 12:26:49 am
Your Grace, Your Highness, Your Eminence, Your Excellency, these are words that I often use to greet people who titled themselves in monarch when it comes to RP in any game.

But considering that I have not joined any faction, meeting 'Kings' such as Reinhardt, Trebor, or UGBERT without serving under them got me hesitant whether or not to use Your Highness whenever responding to them in-game, and calling out my King is just not appropriate for a freelancer, I suppose?

Just wondering, if any English gurus out there can clarify these for me I'd be grateful.

I usually say, "whazzup dude?"  If I'm feeling formal I'll great them as "man" or "chicka."

Very roleplayish of you, good sir.


To Gearhardt: Well, you could always join a faction. ^^

Or choose from any of the above. Being referred to in a roleplaying manner is usually a "+" for anybody roleplaying a position of King/Lord/Knight/etc.

Recently a guy from Texas addressed me as "sir Gnjus" and asked me if he can join the Bandits.  :)

"Your majesty" is a standard, I think.

And here I thought I'd receive more response stating something like "Get a life, nerd" or "Get lost, freak"

But I guess I'm wrong :lol:

I guess everyone's got their styles of RP.

True, but I don't know why I just don't feel like getting myself affiliated with factions. I guess I have to make due with the lite-RP they have in-game, and those troll responses :?.

Sounds more like RP with a purpose of buttering up.. But it never hurts being respectful.

The possibilities are limitless!

Lol, I just want to have lite-RP in cRPG, I don't think I can withstand too much of those cheesy lines and self-absorbed haughty stuff.

Factions are great if you just step into the world of them. ^_^
