Your take on RP'ing addiction

Jeffie · Post by **Jeffie** » Mon Nov 17, 2003 5:00 am

what's your take on roleplaying addiction? I get cravings around every 30 seconds or so(as soon as the negative effects from the previous craving wear off) I try to add emotes like drooling and puking but that just gets annoying after a while, also when I'm withdrawing my Intelligence is 3. By all rights shouldn't I roleplay a drooling vegetable spouting babble? I mean 3 is like a retarded baby monkey.

from the forum title, i thought you were talkinga bout, being addicted to role playing, and i was like "i cant spend time to read this, i gotta go play avlis!"

my take is that

if you want to RP it, RP it. Its inappropriate for us to tell you "how" to RP your character. Granted, our characters might not like what you're doing and you should be prepared to deal with that, but we as players shouldn't hold it against you if you want to RP your addiction.

I just now realized what he was really talking about.

I'm not asking you to tell me how, just any suggestions or cool ideas for the addiction....of course, I will roleplay him the way I want

When Timo was ~very~ addicted to everything (yes, every drug) after the search for the first cure to Spite, I would watch the server messages pop up, looking to see what craving I was having.

*eyes go bloodshot* or *nose bleeds* for Bloodfury crystals.
*skin gets pale* or *starts sweating* for Brownsmoke seeds.
*eyes dart around wildly* for Wizard Spice.
*pupils dialate* for the alcohols
*hands shake* or *gets a nervous twitch* for Kao Kao

Just suggestions, but I hope that helps. Roleplaying the addiction and kicking it led to some of the most memorable moments I've had on Avlis. From several days spent in the City Gate Inn (Timo still doesn;t like going there because of the memories of the addiction) to one of the best RP sessions ever with Kima during a particularly bad run of cravings in the wilderness after a fight with some ogres.
