Bad RP/Strategy (split from RP Praise!)

Sonia -- give people a break. Cantr's a slow-paced game, not some game where everyone is online 24/7. Killing people because they don't reply is really, really lame.

Sounds like someone from "another game" that no one wants me "bashing". A LOT of "people other there" have this "mentality" that people need be online NOW.

And I thought people were told "no character names" a few times?

I second this person. It's quite annoying. Goes for all those other players out there that are on cantr every second of the day. Give those who are not, a break.

Never met that one.... But maybe this person is better of in a MMO...... I hate people that can't wait for someone to wake up. And I mean with that people that can't even wait for one day.

I'm getting a bit annoyed at people who're emoting non obvious things. There's been a spate of it recently and it's really bad. I understand that a few of these characters have very talented writers behind them, but the real skill is saying things without saying them...

Could you give an example of things that are not obvious? I'm a bit confused about what you mean there.

I think things like;

"*He thinks about how he had some fun yesterday.*"

If it's a short emote, telling more than we could possibly see can be forgiven. I hate when people write whole paragraphs of text between the * *. Sheesh! Obviously frustrated novelists. Write the damn book on your word processor, not in Cantr!

Or go play "another game".. that behavior is annoyingly common "some where else".

The emoting thoughts isn't as bad as people responding to them though.

I like to say things similar to "as if he/she were ____* but... is that okay?

[Rebma]

It's the difference between saying *frustrated* And *looks clearly frustrated* or *his/her face betrays his/her frustration*

Dudel, give me a better example, word for word of what you mean?

[lulkoek]

I use the 'as if...' at times too, then you leave it up to the other people to decide what they pick up from it.

Mostly use it for my deaf-mute character though, as it's really hell to make anything clear with her if people just talk and expect her to understand... lol

Why'd you just try to kill me.. with a blunt spoon... for giving an example?

Well... there are a few ways I do this cause I don't like doing the same thing over... and over... and over. (Which is "bad RP" in my opinion)

*He looks to him/her and smiles as if say/do/imply/whatever/etc ____*

That's the easiest one I could think off right now. But there are lists of things, like the "but statement" and the "not statement".

*He smiles/frowns/whatever/etc but his eyes/mouth/whatever/etc are/is/whatever/etc ____* (Usually its an opposite. I use this to imply lies, inner emotion, and inner thought without actually giving those away.)

*Making a point NOT to ____* or *He/she doesn't ____* (Things that the character would normally do but doesn't for whatever reason. Making emphasis by saying he/she DOESN'T do says something "inside" is not fully "right/normal".)

[Rebma]

Yeah okay I get it.
1) debateable, but tastefully leaving the door open for co-RP
2) Nice
3) Yup, good.



And Caesar, because that's horrible RP.
