Speaking as one of the people

Post by Hellwalker »

I want to share one experiment I did week ago. :rolleyes:

I was bored and lazy, best conditions to come up with something inventive mind you and something crazy.., so the dark of it is I decided to talk in manner of githzerai for whole day. In life I mean :D

I'll leave the details for your imaginations to fill, but I doubt they can match the actual experience. It puts "Amusing" to a new level, and troublesome as well.

I must say my performance was a bit crude. speaking Dak'kon style is not as hard as it seems, Its metaphors that are challenging, I was forced to "achai Drown[ing]" everyone and only managed to improvise several new metaphors [with stories behind them].

I want to try again with more research and metaphores. :laugh:

if you want to try yourself, which I recommend entirely I'll give you few advices
Do some research and prepare yourself. Metaphors especially.
Try smaller scale then one day. [15~30 mins]
Try not to laugh, look composed and serious
Do not speak this way to mobbish personality ppl, unless you don't care about their opinions/you are torch and spike proof.
Try to put some passion in it, it gives boost to determination and raises chances of looking mysterious/interesting kind of weirdo rather then ridiculous one.
Try not to practice this near sci fi fans, unless you wish to appear as possessed by the aliens.

did I say I get Chaotic Neutral as Alignment everytime I play PT? :rolleyes:

...and avoid looking in a mirror so you don't break out laughing after 30 seconds, too, mate. :D
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

:D
The way I did it didn't have that problem.
Bit of mockery, bit of character and you get interesting results.
and dak'kons speach is not so unnatural actually :p
