haha, lol'ed at both Rebma's posts. I feel ya, I play two characters in a similar position.. so I have to take a stance against BIKR. One doesn't speak, but has the ability to pick up on words if she's taught them - one a day is the rule for her. (sadly she was abused by one town and only knows words like 'sad', 'hate' and non-affirmatives like 'no'.. she doesn't know any positive words)
Another just has an inability to create a coherent sentence.. and thankfully he found another guy just like him (what were the chances!)
Both these descriptions would give them away if anyone plays around them. In that sense, I guess, I can justify playing retarded characters as they're unique and not a run-of-the-mill deaf/mute/blind guy.
Recently we had a mute guy spawn in Sjoftich Hills North.. he got completely ignored, no one has time for him. It's just annoying as a player when one pops up after another, it's hard to have to look after each one of them.
What's even more frustrating is that the player gets bored quickly and they usually die in their early twenties. This contributes to people OOCly being sick of them.
