[QUOTE="The Crimster, post: 133967, member: 2511"] [b]Re: Just out of curiosity...[/b] Most of the time, insanity is context-driven. Meaning, if you go insane from seeing a dhole (a large, worm-like thing) burst up out of the ground, perhaps you might fear walking on grass or dirt. "They're might be those [i]things[/i] under there! Watch where you're stepping!" But other times when you can become unhinged, whatever psychological weakness you had before may become far more pronounced. Tell you what - when it comes time for your background stories, weave your 'weakness' in there. Don't make it *obvious*, please. Suggest. Be subtle. =) When it actually comes time in the game for someone to go insane (you know *someone* will, it's the nature of the beast) - I intend upon telling the person in private email. I will [b]not[/b] post, "Kristof, you're now homicidal. Please act accordingly." That's boring, and you guys would [b]expect[/b] Kristof to behave erratically. No no no! It is far more fun to watch the other players begin to look at someone acting oddly, and wonder, [i]What is wrong with him?? Why is he staring at me so intensely??"[/i] Please hold off on the character stats/backgrounds until later. I will soon be posting information on this, and then we'll be opening a thread on Rogue's Gallery for the characters. Looking forward to this! The Crimster [/QUOTE]
