Bad RP/Strategy (split from RP Praise!)

[*Wiro]

Same here, although you can't blame people as there's nothing specific about this in the CRB. My first Dutch character pretty much knew German from the start, I only started the learning RP after I found out about the language learning thing.

My English-speaking Dutch character took about eight years to get his English to how it is now (which is pretty good).

I've got a character desperately trying to learn spanish, and its pretty hilarious because there's more than three other language groups on the same island all speaking at once sometimes.

I've got an awesome charrie...who is stuck in a relationship with someone who may know how to rp but cannot spell and it is driving me as the player UP THE WALL LOL

[SekoETC]

I think you get used to it after a while, but it's funny to see someone who can't spell (or at least punctuate) scolding another player over the same matter.

Interesting word choice: stuck.
May be time to call in a divorce lawyer. You´ll get half the potatoes, at least.

Haha, well it wouldn't make sense for this character to stop the relationship but it isn't like marriage just yet haha.

Uh-oh, did I miss-punctuate something?

... is driving me as the player UP THE WALL LOL

See for yourself.

[Genevieve]

oh, bleh Caesar. That isn't wrong. It is like a "pause" and my old boss got me in the bad habit of using it all the time.

See the following:

The ellipsis can also be used to indicate a pause in the flow of a sentence and is especially useful in quoted speech:

Juan thought and thought … and then thought some more.
"I'm wondering …" Juan said, bemused.

Mwahahaha SO THERE

LOL What ever happened to the period at the end, then?

[SumBum]

I don't think the "...." was the target. I don't see anything wrong with using dots to indicate a pause in casual communication, though some use it too often (I am guilty when emailing and such).

I would've put some commas in there:

...it is driving me, as the player, UP THE WALL! LOL

Just sayin.

[Genevieve]

I never use a period after an LOL - or at least not often. And FINE roflol!! I forgot one period! Kill me now, I'm obviously an awful rper, awful speller, awful punctuator.

Except that is how you read it but now how I said it. I went back to my original sentence, said it out loud. I didn't do the pauses the way you did with the commas. Perhaps after player. Not after me.

Sorry, we pick on you cause we like you. Or something like that....



Back on topic, I confess to poorly rping a situation. It wasn't out of character, but I could've played it out better.

[BlueNine]

nominating myself for overuse of *nods* and *smiles*...don't know why, but I can't have a line of speech without one of these "emotes"
