I pretty much totally agree. Most free online web-browser translators aren't helpful at all. Especially if you're attempting to translate Japanese or Russian, or some kind of slang that the translator would never recognize.

Know it's been said before, but RPing and including character's thought's between the asterisks. *'s are for actions, that others see. Thoughts are just that, thoughts. Stop bloody writing them in your asterisks, and keep them in their head.

Srsly, definitely makes me stop checking that charri's page. Maybe it's just me.

What about if you can see the thoughts on their face? Certain thoughts can be seen...

I have been guilty of this before, I try not to do it but sometimes forget o.o oops. :-) Hope it wasn't me!!

Can't say for Rebma, but I've seen the most irritating thoughts be "RP'd" before. Observe:

2667-0.01: Petunia says: *thinks the whispering man is creepy*
2667-0.04: Petunia says: *has never seen that man scream like that before*

or even worse:

2667-0.06: Turnip says: You've never seen that man scream like that before, Petunia? Weird.

I use 'seems to think (about)' combined with facial expressions and perhaps motion of hands/rest of body. Shouldn't be wrong, or is it?

I think its ok to do *looks to be in thought about what was just said* is ok...*seems to be thinking about that cooked meat he ate 2 days ago and whether or not it was better than raw potato* on the other hand, nicht so gut.

I'd still like to try a "hey can you help me move something inside? *thinks about how he'll kill her once he gets her alone*" to see how THEY like reading thoughts!

:lol:

I'm not so good at describing facial expressions, so I rely on stuff like *looks confused* or *taps her chin, thinking*. It is very irritating when someone puts whole thoughts in emotes and I'll try to find some response to purposely show them I'm ignoring the info.

All people who take game mechanics exactly as what happened. (To a point where I would be willing to kill the character for it.)

I thought they were good roleplayers because they did emote in English when they were docked to land. They only emote in English now though, when discussing their slave plans for my character AND at the same time the emotes involve my character (*looks at* etc).


I wonder if it is bad RP for me to stop interacting with them and just go away. *shrugs* At least I can now enjoy the character without all the Polish talk I don't get, along with the Polish emotions.

I don't like how people base their actions off flaws in the game mechanics, such as how you can't pass things on the road. >.>

Edit: sorry for triple post. S: oughta be paying more attention to that...

I just had a character killed by someone that ignored poses from the moment he started acting as if his character was mad. He didn't pose a single thing either, just attacked on the spot.

He attacked after another player had posed to be standing before my character, to block him from attacking. Of course he ignored that and simple hit the 'hit' button.
I posed my character standing close to the door so it could run inside should he try attack, of course, he didn't pose a think, simply hit the 'hit' button and killed my char.

Isn't there any way to stop such... *swallows a few words* guys?
He took away most of the fun I had in this game so far, I'm not sure if I'll play much longer...
