Oh man that is so embarrassing to read stuff like that for me, haha. I mean, it's different when a little kid is pretending he's Superman, but when it's a full grown adult, come on, that's just really weird to me. It's fine with me when they keep it to themselves in /tell or /ls, but when they bring it out in public, just wow.

If you were interested, there's already an RP LS on Lakshmi called CantaPerMe. Here's a link to their website http://www.cantaperme.org/Forums/index.php

And it's comprised of the weirdest motherfuckers on the server.

Roleplaying is weird.

This is the truth. If you want to RP, THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL BECOME

Wait, weren't you in that linkshell for a while? >.>

One day, cause I had no other linkshells. Then I decided to go back to being linkshelless the next day...

haha, I grabbed a pearl at one point when I saw a guy I knew had one, but I soon dropped it after I met the members...

Personally I think it's awesome!

When you think about it, do you feel the same way about people in the theatre or in a movie? It's all acting/improv at the end of the day, and I love it.

Haven't been in an RP LS myself, nor do I RP, but I don't see the problem with it.

Yes, you are right. However, I do get embarrassed when I see really bad acting and I feel like this falls into the same category. It's a weirdness feeling I can't explain. But I do see where you're coming from. It's the same reason I can't watch American Idol auditions; it's like the people don't even know that they suck/are being made fun of/etc. - a naiveté, I guess. I just feel bad for them I guess. I'm not pinpointing a certain wrong about it. Maybe it's just social conditioning that's making me feel this way, idk! SHUT UP WAFIK lol

[Mizango]

MMORPGers bashing on the very form of hobby their game and own hobby is built up upon.

Bashing the establishment, how is this new?Let me get this right, by your logic I am supposed to sit in my living room in un-opinionated and dressed in FULL FUCKING Barrett garb, complete with a fucking Uzi for an arm while sitting on my couch to get the full FFVII experience? lol GTFO.

You're probably that one douche that lives with his mom but checks the mail dressed as fucking Dante because it helps keeps the "demons" at bay right?

I don't see how he earned this from you. He's stating how pervasive the act of role playing is in the gaming community in general. I guess 'Mizango' is your real name and your avatar is a picture of you IRL (sup Ed), right? All people who RP in videogames are doing is taking it one step further and act out something different in chat than 'omfg this merit party is gimp!.'

Contrarily I am indeed Ed, thanks for posting.


Edit: My Router farted sorry. I was going to say what does anyone on these forums with an Avatar (90% of users?) have to do with RL role-playing, which is what this thread is about right? Just making sure this is the thread about real life RP and not the avatars. Ask me if I go around calling myself Full metal, or if I go wander around aimlessly making transmutation circles in the dirt. If you want to flame me at least have the goddamn common sense and courtesy to do it within the context of the thread lol.

The point I and others here are making is that while I play a Goldsmithing Corsair, I do neither in RL and nor do I care to delve into the world of "Argggggh me mateys, how many of ye scallywags heeeer want to search Davey Jones' locker for me precious booty??!!11oen!1" If that sounds fucking retarded to you then congratulations, you got my point and aren't as stupid as you are making yourself seem. Like I said earlier, to each his own. I am in no position to tell another person how to play their character but this is an "opinion based" thread is it not? Guess what, you got my opinion. *Gasp!

[Darus Grey]

Of course you can still role-play and not talk like a douche-bag. That's the point everyone here seems to be missing.

Playing out a role...that's all it really is. These guys who talk like that are just as annoying to "real" role-players as they are to you.

[Demosthenes]

I don't think I've ever seen a session in D&D where anyone talked like asshats. I'd punch people that spoke in old english. Unless the line is "I SAY THEE NAY!"

[fantasticdan]

The only times I've run into RPers are in low level exp parties, where people are pretending to be their characters and some kind of e-family, calling each other mom/dad/sibling/etc... really creepy. I would just usually mpk party, disband, and

I've never seen anybody talking in old english, "in character", or anything like that, well besides people mocking RPers.

[shukuffxi]

I was in a ISNM with an RP type person once, a Galka in the PT made a crack about it, and the RPer replied "Nay, good master Behemoth". They're just people having fun a different way that doesn't hurt anyone, and makes me laugh, so it's not all bad as long as i'm not subjected to it 24/7.

Pretty much my stance on it as well. I'd probably go out of my way to watch something like what Eanae posted if I had the time and knew about it.

The one time I can remember running into a (sirius) roleplayer was a few years ago in South Gustaberg. It was a taru acting like he was lost or something. At first I didn't know what was going on, then he told me he was role playing in a tell. So after that I just went along with it since he was doing good at it.

[buttson]

sometimes when i'm bored i'll half-roleplay on a taru mule, but it mostly consists of saying "my step-dad gave me some apple juice!", chugging a venom potion, and dying in front of a bunch of people.

wasn't there a screenshot or something of an RPer walking (literally, run-mode off, no chocobo) from jeuno to their waiting non-RP party in CN, because they RP a character that walks everywhere? that shit cracked me up.

Reminds me of running through Whitegate and seeing "Someguy kisses Somechickthatsadude softly."

Me being the smart ass that I am, promptly /emoted "Maxaru vomits softly."

it was preciesly this kind of crap in Lower Jeuno that used to drive me nuts

there were 2 notorious retards on ifrit that would do it all the time, it makes me angry just thinking about it

Dawnffxii raises her [I'm at work] submissively to Freelance and purrs.

Made me want to tear off heads and .. down necks >.<[/quote:3isrr1p7]
Those two are in my LS, and if you actually knew them, you'd know they weren't serious. They still do that shit to this day, but when you're on vent and hear them laughing at one another, you know they're not RP seriously, they're just fucking around.

[Korietsu]

I played on an RP-PvP server in WoW, Ravenholdt. God some of the people were tards, but on occasion its not that bad to RP for a bit and pass on, however I normally kept to myself. Also, if you're going to roll RP-PvP don't go to Ravenholdt, go to Twisting Nether or Thorium Brotherhood.
