It happens, trust me, no reason to quit the game for. :P

At least if your character is dead, you don't have to tolerate him any longer but the downside is the killer is still alive in there, ready to ruin the game for others. It's probably just some verbally limited person who doesn't know how to rp?

Or a certain member we all know being his normal self.

There are a few "powergamers" who 100% ignore RP and only want the taste of Cantrinian blood! O.O

Then we can do the same for their characters...

I have killed several characters I did not enjoy roleplay with completely without RP, as I don't think that people who can't scrape up the little bits of imagination they should have to roleplay even slightly, would have enough imagination to form an image of the text displayed, so, meh. And they don't deserve it. x3

Roleplaying doesn't always have to be about two-way character interaction... it can be about the image you hold of your character; their thoughts, their motives that drive their actions which may be inexplicable to other characters, but can give you a sense of satisfaction for being consistent.

Some people aren't social, they don't have to say a word, but can still leave an impression on the world and involve creativity.

._. This totally explains something I failed to explain up to now. It's like, some characters I roleplay with and have fun doing so, even if the people listening don't do a damn. It's like writing a book or in a diary.

This guy:

2674-3.35: xxx says: "*walks in one of the corners, sits down on the floor and starts playing with four eye balls in silent, satisfied*"

2674-3.35: xxx says: "*he walks tu [GUY] and take out his eye balls also, laughs loudly* cripples."

2674-3.34: xxx says: "*stands up slowly, walks to [WIRO'S CHARACTER], jabs with a smile his thumbs and take out her both eye balls. Blood rushes over her face and he laughs*"

Especially considering the fact he was 96% wounded, having severe cutting wounds all over his body and a dismembered member (:lol:), was pinned down to the floor and my character's face was behind [GUY]'s shoulder. Of course this godmoding RP was ignored, and it was not much later he was killed. Really, whoever played that person, don't be a jerk.

The Goblin King plays with three orbs I think. Four eyeballs might be a bit harder but maybe he has two in each hand.

Edit: lol, or perhaps he was juggling them! :D

He took away most of the fun I had in this game so far, I'm not sure if I'll play much longer...


I wouldn't leave over simple game mechanics, but the choice is ultimately yours. RP is being in-character, and every character is different. There's 14 other chances to have excellent adventures, right now! :)

That sounds like an example is needed. :lol:
