[QUOTE="Fenmarel, post: 2558287"] One thing I wanted to state after reading Rhane's post. I know I have offered "advice" to you as well as other players. Especially when it comes to certain things that certain races just don't do, okay the ones from DnD. Now I am wondering these people are telling you who you can play with and who you can't. If this is because you have joined a group with a character then this type of thing is to be expected. But if that isn't the case then tell them to take a flying leap and put them on iggie on the site AND your IM's. There is a very bad elitist attitude around this site. I had a character that spouted off some "folk lore"(yes it does exist in any world, not everyone knows every single detail about everything as some of the characters and players seem to think) and a few players started jumping down my throat for it because they thought I have no clue. I was very satisfying to show two of these players that indeed I did know my stuff and in fact had forgotten more about DnD than they will most likely ever learn. A thing to remember, just because it says in one book or another that a devil has to be this or has to be that doesn't mean the player is playing by that campaign setting. If you want totally game specific rping then try the Scarred Lands site which happens to be a very good place to actually to online playing and not just going into a tavern and drinking and never actually doing anything but bad mouthing other characters and players. The other night I was unfortunate to witness an rper that was taking personal issues out with someone's style of rp and using it vaguely ic. Well it also happens that both of the players are people that I enjoy roleplaying with. Now the one that was doing the slamming happens to be one that is getting tied up with the storyline of one of my characters and I will be ignoring that character from now on. If you have a problem with someone's style of rp then tell them in a pm or keep your bloody mouth shut. All this bashing of people trying to veil it as IC actions has gone too far in my humble opinion. Now if this messes up the storyline my character is involved in then oh well, if the ones I am playing with can't see the wrongness that occurred then I shouldn't be rping with them in the first place and will quickly rectify that situation as I have done in the past.
