[QUOTE="Kinetti, post: 4239672, member: 34654"] I find myself compelled to play devil's advocate here, with all due respect and wuv to Velaria, of course. hi Vel! To begin: "excellent RPer" is a purely subjective opinion. Rules or no rules, not everyone wants to see everything. Just as everyone has different opinions on what constitutes "are there too many vampires?" everyone has different opinions on what should or not should be done with vampires. Everyone will make their own opinions on what constitutes a good or excellent RPer. One would have to sit and watch that RPer to be able to adjudicate such, but people have their own factors they look for, and if your style of RP/Game, and of character persona grates on them, it hardly matters what rules you use, or what style you use. If it's not fun for them to interact with you, they're not going to want to, no matter how "excellent" you are. You think you're excellent, that's fine. I think I'm "excellent" to, but not everyone in the Cosmos will agree with either of us, no matter what we say. heh. Of course, I shall indeed agree that "condescending" on people is not nice, and indeed will not help. But, calling those people who might not like your char automatically "closeminded" and "stifling to my creativity, you're a bad person for not liking my ideas" is not good either. This is why, more and more, I just flat-out don't say anything, and avoid conflicts, saving my gripes for the one or two people I trust. heh. With all that said, I'll weigh in briefly on my own gripes about vampies. Yes, Vel, one can make vampies who have variations on the rules. But... so many vampies here [B]have[/B] those exceptions. It gets old. haha. To me, anyway. This argument is easy to counter, of course, by people saying things like "but the norm is boring! It's fun to make something different!" But so many say that, that it's almost become faddish in and of itself. Everyone's so different, to me it's now the "norm" that would be unusual to see. heh. I'm not saying y'all can't do it. But, that's thus why I come in so seldom any more, too. Also why I don't say much here either, but hey. heh. Felt the need to, for once. Well, I think that's about 4 or 5 cents by now. Rip it up as you will. hehe. ~~ KC [/QUOTE]
