Re: Characters that irritate you/yours -
What Seko said. I'm a big fan of ellipses and have no problem when they're used to indicate a pause or hesitation, which is why I specifically mentioned abuse. In this case, they aren't used in any rational manner (including sticking a random two periods after a question mark) and are regularly included in emotes.

If you hate ellipses, then your hate may be directed at me. I use them a lot, but to show hesitation or pausing.

So you would rather prefer...
example A: Hmm...I get what you are saying...but...is it really necessary?
or...
example b: Hmm *pause* I get what you are saying *pause* but *pause* is it really necessary?
I choose A, as it looks cleaner (textually of course) and isn't nearly as distraction as *pause* continuously.

I think it has been clarified that only the abuse of ellipses is a probelm. 

Pretty in pink.

I know the bad/lazy typing thing has already been beaten into the ground, and I know she's already been mentioned a couple of times, but Zjira, good lord.
It's even more annoying because she could actually be an interesting character otherwise.

Re: Characters that irritate you/yours -
You know what really irritates me?! Characters who use proper spelling, punctuation and grammar! OMG Just die all of you perfectly played characters with well-developed, interesting personalities and picturesque emotes.
Shh... I'm using reverse psychology because I have a feeling one or more players have decided to spawn some who purposely do everything listed in this thread. So funny guys.

Re: Characters that irritate you/yours -
Ugh. Not even happening to my character, but the act of watching someone force rp (you know, rping like 5 things in one post without giving the other player a chance to respond/fight back to any of the five things-just deciding because you want to , you're apparently superhuman and theyre barely moving) is just disastrous. I feel bad for the playervictim
