Depends on what I "feel" depends on what you get. If my character, or myself, don't feel like "going there" I work it so that either the player or character should get bored.

Yes, it is VERY deliberate... sorry.

Generally rp'ing sex should be like playing ping pong, you're supposed to hit the ball back, not let it fly past you and bring a new one into play. Nor hitting several balls one right after another so that the other person doesn't have time to catch them. If a person doesn't react to anything you write, it looks like they were in their own little world, playing solo and doesn't really care about your reactions. Although when people repeat word to word what you just emoted just to specify what they are reacting to, that sounds a bit silly too. You should at least try to come up with synonyms for some words.

But yeah, I agree. As well as with the "be original with words" things. Actions are supposed to color the Cantr world.

Reading about "hitting balls" in a post about sex made me smile for some reason.

Seko's of course right, although the things she mentioned probably apply to roleplaying in general.

Obviously the kind where you bounce balls a lot.

True, true.

In ping pong the bats don't give in, so I guess it's a rather tough surface.

I hate it when people in a community with English and Dutch, or English and German, etc, etc.. Emote in their own language and not in English.

That way it means someone speaking English is unable to understand that someone, for instance, moves his or her hands..?

Edit; I actually posted a part of the post in Dutch. Ironic, isn't it?

I KNOW!

I've complained about this a few times actually BUT its understandable as they picked isn't English.

It would be like YOU as an English player, SOMEHOW ending up around a bunch of whatever and, cause YOU (may or may not) ONLY know English... you emote in it.

Double standard which is going to annoy each of us in our own way.

*creates polish character and says nothing only emoting in English* :shock:

lol Well, I know enough Spanish to get me murdered ;-)

but nothing else, and certainly could not emote in anything but English so better not get me stuck in another language group.

Ahh...the sad lack of language education in the US

Okay, look. I can kinda look at the other side of this. I am an english playing player and I have a character stuck on a polish island. I don't know a WORD of polish. lol XD So...obviously, I'm not gonna emote in polish.

I'm assuming we all know about the basic international emotes from the wiki, right?

NOPE!

Edit: To be honest I'd not bother with that in ANY FORM because it would be too difficult to RP with the character as everyone else was emoting in Polish anyway.

Like I've seen many a Jestem do before, I'd starve m my character or go all suicidal newspawny.
