A Debate on the Roleplay Skills of Kit, et al.

Touché, Yan.

And here's the rambling post I've been hinting at for a few minutes.

I'll preface it by saying that it's probably full of tangents. I haven't proofread it. I don't want to. I'm tired of its subject. It starts off as an edit to an already passed-by post.

Well, from my interactions with Kit, I have to say he's an ass. I don't even bother to ask him to fix stuff anymore. Zap on the other hand, I like. As far as the player of Kit goes, if she's anything like her *forum* persona, she's a know it all who needs to do more research before she opens her mouth. But then we all run into that problem from time to time.

Wow, dude, a social hierarchy? You're really full of yourself. Boards are suppose to be places to chat and share ideas, not get into pissing contests and try to brown nose your way up from meek little posts to God of the Boards. Feels like I'm back studying chimps. You don't want to be a chimp do you? (ape picture aside)

Just a friendly interjection amongst this parade of bile and vitriol to announce that while anything that was mailed before this post is in the past (and, thus in my opinion, none of my business), I've disabled further mailing across multiple accounts.

i rewrote my reply on this matter.

i think the major issue with kit's player and her posts is that she's a very defensive poster. a defensive poster tends to mix poorly with more cynical posters like will, myself, and others. i'm not saying that it's her fault, because i'm quite sure i could be more tolerant of people making silly mistakes or just not 'getting it' (it = my point or whatever) just as much as kit could probably be less defensive in her interpetations of what is posted as a reply to her.

that rambling said, i do think kit's a good roleplayer, if not good potential, and i know her heart's in the right place for the game.

but, that being said, the fact that i am a cynic with low tolerance for poor-roleplay-foolishness does make me react aggressively toward someone making a roleplay smokescreen to justify actions. and, naturally, with kit's player being a defensive poster, she'd react negatively with me calling her out on her actions.

do i disagree with what she is doing? yes.
do i think it is poor roleplay? yes.
do i think it is system abuse? yes.
do i think she's not a good roleplayer as a whole? no.

i've noticed with many players (not just kit) that there is difficulty with understanding that disagreeing on matters does not mean disliking someone as a person. that, and many tend to think that saying things like "so and so uses mules, and that's fucked up" means i strongly dislike a person and desire to war with them or whatever. there's only one player i personally dislike, and that's more because he felt it was bright to just constantly bring up how much he hates me as a player because who-the-hell-knows-why. mind you, this was before i became more active on the boards, so me being the local asshole here isn't the logic behind it, honest.

anyway, i hope that gives a more clear version of what i previously posted on the matter.

Thanks Yaru. I think. Mainly on the roleplay issue, not about have two techs to hold my stuff now that I can't use the mail, but on roleplay in general. I think you're a good roleplayer too. Kit interacts with Yaru quite a bit and while I still think half of your posts, while probably not meant to be, are quite viscious, I don't think you hate me. Otherwise, interaction in the game could just be poor. Then again, I know the other characters of some people and I attempted not to dislike them, but that's impossble when the take the board mood and attach it to their characters. And I won't name names. I'm sorry, but outting people just isn't my thing even if you guys like to do it.

I'm just going to say that I mentioned "a social hierarchy" for the boards as they do exist on other forums. And, me being apart of several forums, subconciously expect one to exist on this one. So, whatever.

There is a social heirarchy, though maybe not in the sense some might think. Posters gain reputations when posting on boards. You got the idiots; who post useless drivel that isn't even worth reading most of the time. You got the lurkers; those that post like 5 times a year, though they do read the boards often. You got the knowledge mongers, those that know what they are talking about and answer questions alot etc. etc.

We all play a role in this world, whether you're the town whore, the town snert, or someone who just sits around idle all day and rarely speaks. Some just do it better and more recognizable than others.

Kit, I don't think you're bad at roleplaying. I do, however, think you're thoughts on roleplay are slightly flawed. And your posts could use more thought before hitting submit. After just reading about more than half of what you've ever posted, you tend to repeat yourself a lot. I also did find something interesting with this whole mule topic coming up...
