What's with the RP of stupid people?

[Remnant]

Me = 0

People that want to prove me wrong = 1

I have a few chars like that,they don't see anyone they want to talk to.The town bores them or they just want to get out of there...

[Beseiged]

I think there are a decent amount of towns like that, where the people there are just not worth talking to. I end up traveling most of the time try to find a place to settle down. Pending on if the character even wants to.

Nother type of character---lame.

Spawn somewhere, immediately head to the nearest iron deposit, shield, weapon, tools, wham bam thank you ma'am i'm going to try to take over.

Boring.

Hey! You just listed my favorite activity!!

I used to have a mute char. He had perfect understanding and hearing, just couldn't speak.

Hmmmm that sound interesting. Could your character write and that is how he talked. I think I am going to try that. As long as I don't spawn on Aki islaned >.<.

There is one on Aki.

Wow sucks to be that person. Are they rping well?

[Meh]

Yes so well so that I think the subtly of what they are doing isn't noticed.

[NetherSpawn]

I have a mute as well, she's in her thirties. Kind of a pain when you go to one of those towns that wants you to talk, though.
Why is seeking wealth so boring? I agree that massacring towns once you have a sabre and an iron shield is kind of dull, but if characters don't have wealth as their goal, how can there be trade? Most towns are stagnant, with completely unequipped food-harvesters as about half the population.

When you say 'stupid' here, you seem to mean 'ignorant' or 'disabled' (mentally or otherwise). I don't have a problem with either of those.

But when so many people seem to have no intelligent self-interest, I have a problem with that. The idea that resources are more valuable if they aren't locally available seems to totally escape the vast majority of characters. And I wouldn't call that 'good RP'.

And I admit, the ambitionless hordes do kind of get on my nerves...they may do good roleplaying, but it isn't necessarily in-character to put the desire to chat with your friends ahead of any sort of profitable employment.

[cantrpotatoe]

what would cantr be if everyone acted the same? or didnt have an idea for a new type of personality for a char. ?? almost everyone of my characters have way different personalities and habits. makes it more fun i think.

[The Industriallist]

No one ever said that you can't or shouldn't RP. But many, many characters do nothing but RP. That bothers me as much as the reported people who never say anything at all. Either way, you're throwing away a major aspect of the game. (actually, RP only characters bother me more, because I never notice the silent ones...)

I like creative personalities too. But personalities that aspire only to show off how creative their inventor is...

[Pirog]

I think stupid and insane people are interesting as long as they are RP'd well, and that rarely happens.

There are too many idiots and badly managed lunatics in Cantr...they don't even stand out any more.
