When there's a lot of activity, I guess you could say people can't catch a glimpse of every single event.
But I was thinking of specific situations, like when there's only three characters, and two of them keep on whispering to each other, ignoring the third completely. This really gets on my nerves, specially when I'm part of the plot, and I know my character is really paying attention to the other two... They should have a better sense of drama... *long sad sigh*

Sometimes...you really do not want to know what is going on in those whispers. :lol: :lol:

I know it's a joke, but I had to answer anyway. :P
Since I kind of -do- know what's going on, it makes it even worse.
I think they're taking the easy way out, disregarding RP completely. And yes, I'M JEALOUS! Both as a player and as a character, for different reasons. :lol:

Haha, well...most of it was a joke, however there have been a couple times my characters have overheard some truly disturbing things.

I really, really, really, really hate when that happens. It is like they feel that ignoring any RP aspects will make any drama/action nonexistent.

I don't know how this will make me seem. Frankly, I don't care. But for once, I'd like to overhear something nasty! Whenever I overhear whispers they're from booooring conversations about trade, bussiness and orders.
This is so very off topic I'll just shut up now.

Characters that speak only in lower case.... There seems to be, at the very least, one of them in every location. Is the capitalization at the beginning of sentences, and of names really so endangered? I can't help but envision your characters to be feeble minded, overly quite mumbletons, repeatedly stumbling over their muttered words, no matter what you happen to put down as a vocal emote for them.

I think some of that is playing by phone...or so I read somewhere.

Don't most smartphones automatically capitalize at the start of a sentence at least? I play from an ipod touch sometimes, and never have the problems.

Android automatically does casing, however both iPhone and android can do some rather odd auto-correct if you have that turned on.

The auto capital on the ipod touch I love, the auto correct is annoying but as long as you pay attention its managable.

Its the lack of a * on them that I hate. Having to switch betwwen emoting in * and () is plain bothersome.

I saw one on facebook where it turned "disney" into "divorce". So a father told his daughter "Hey, your mom and I are going to divorce next month" and she of course freaked. It was funny.

One of my chars is getting really irritated by chars who choose to work in the most inefficient way possible, even when they're directed to do something else. Having a lot of facepalm moments.

Ah yes, I remember this. One of my chars used to own a business with a few employees...used to want to shake someone every time I'd walk out to find them repairing a bone needle or something instead of what they'd been asked to work on. :roll:

Characters that are sleeping when you know they can/should be awake *sigh*
