[QUOTE="random role player, post: 2559756"] Very true, Madame WizO. It may be that I play a character or two alongside the very people that have responded to my words posted not so long ago. Tell me true: would I be treated differently if that were the case and I posted what I did under a name that you are all familiar with? I think not. One might protest and say otherwise, but the idea would remain, and my future role playing sessions would pale in comparison to what they once were. Of course, I could be one of the terrible "newbies." Ignored for the most part because I am not in one of the vaunted circles of characters already in play. Perhaps I simply sit and watch what transpires, and draw conclusions from what unfolds. Who is to say? Not I, and not anyone else. Now, back to the original topic. Perhaps I was in error in the way I presented this. I think, after reading the responses that I should have posed my statement differently. I do understand what you all have said and I agree with some, and disagree with others. I simply wanted to make others aware that there is a problem in the role playing system. I see evil characters who are obviously evil sitting on their laurels drinking their wine and doing nothing. They trade barbs occassionally with others, but most simply sit and stare. Perhaps this is what they wish to do, or perhaps they are forced into this sedentary scene. I cannot say for sure. All I can say is that there should be more role playing and less playing at a role. Of course, I could be wrong. I could be way off base, and all are completely happy with the status quo. But i doubt it. This ends another installment. You may now recommense bashing me.
