[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 3992133, member: 4441"] I don't know y'all, maybe my post is just my equivalent of whining, "She doesn't Understand my Deathless Prose!" All of your points are pretty much relevant, all of you. Her roleplaying style is just so radically different from the rest of the group that she seems like the lead boot of the game in terms of roleplaying sometimes. She's a nice person and friend; I enjoy seeing her and her husband socially. This thing with the roleplaying is just one thing that really bugs, and I'm trying to find a way to work around it before it goes from just bugging to seriously irking me. I probably should just suck it up though. :( A lot of it [i]is[/i] probably me. I've been writing a lot recently, and I guess that puts me in the mindset of having total control over all the other characters. shilsen, going with the direct confrontation route [i]is[/i] biting the bullet with me because the last thing I like to do is call someone out like this. I'm using the anonymity of the internet to get just some other gamers' opinions about how to handle this subtly before I have to get down and personal. It could be with some compromise on plot on my part (as suggested) might lead to some better roleplaying on hers and a better gaming experience all around. And then the whole problem ceases to exist without me having to say to her, "Paula, I think some of your roleplaying is dragging down the game and I'd like you to kick it up a few notches in terms of drama." Because I hate having to do things like that. I like my player manipulation non-detectable, if at all possible. ;) [/QUOTE]
