Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fenmarel" data-source="post: 2560425">A friend has been nagging me to check on this thread.  I took a look when it was initially put up before all the other bs popped up.  Now all I can say is DANG!!!  Anytime I'm involved in something with this much flaming I'm getting private messages left and right from DM's threatening to ban me.Alot of good points made by BOTH sides here.  Though at the same time alot of contradictions.  One person says that a character sheet is a good thing to have so others will be more inclined to play then turns around in the EXACT same post and questions the thinking of another player that will only play engage in combat with a player that has a character sheet for his character.  I don't care if someone has a DnD character sheet for their character as long as they have something down that will give them an idea of their powers and limitations other than a backstory fifty pages long concerning their father beating their mother forcing them to leave the farm for a life of an adventurer.I believe the original intent of this post was to help the players both new and old.  That was noble I'll give you that BUT it should have been locked after it was made since this was a summary of an event that took place.  To let this go as far as it has with the outright flaming was bad form.  Especially after coming back and saying you are following the thread.The players here both new and old are going to do what they wish as long as they can get away with it.  What I mean is they will continue on their current path as long as others roleplay with them and they don't get any warnings from the moderators.  If they have folks willing to interact with them they must be doing it right huh?  What some view as mistakes others view as creativity no matter how obsurd or unbelievable it may be. So no one will ever be "right" on this matter since it is all a matter of perspective.I'm actually starting to slide to the mindset of "if I'm not affected by it why get bent out of shape over it?".  If I am being affected by it then I'll try to rationally talk to the other player.  If an understanding isn't possible then we both go our separate ways, no need for bad mouthing or anything else.  If someone is doing things that just grate your nerves to the point you want to scream and talking to the player doesn't help use the ignore command.  I know there are people that don't like to use the ignore because they like to see everything that is going on......well you can't have it both ways since not everyone is going to rp the same as you or in a style you can appreciate.Basically we all have to learn to live with those that don't rp the same as us.  Trying to force a player to rp a certain way won't work but drive them off.  No one has the right to drive off players even the moderators if the player is doing everything within the rules of the site.I did see something that I definately wanted to respond about.....when you ask someone to attack them plan out every single detail beforehand?!?!  What did that come from?!?  If you have to take all that time to plan it out bit by bit why even roleplay it out?  Just say it happened off site.  There would be no major roleplay involved because both parties know exactly what is going to happen action by action.  That isn't freeform roleplaying but acting from a script.  No sponataneous actions what so ever except "well I told him I'll hold my sword in my left hand and wand of death by unga bunga in the right but I'll switch it around to add some flavor".  If you want to roleplay that way enroll in an acting class and become an actor with everything preordained before you start.Well there is my post for the month.  To those that know I'm still around in the RP side I'm busy moderating forums and DMing for a NWN mod called Always Autumn under PW Action.  I haven't had the time to come around but you can pm me on our boards <a href="http://www.alwaysautumngame.com" target="_blank">www.alwaysautumngame.com</a> and I'm sure to get that quicker than email or pm's here.  My log in name there is DM Gustin.Have fun guys......Donnie, Bhryn, Nevine, Ladyshade, Rhane, Lily and Rajak you guys are still the best take care!Oh this site being mentioned over and over again sounds like it might have some  merit to it.  I realize that it was stated that it was an R rated site so Nugan could you please send me a pm with the addy or any other player that has it handy.  And yes I am definately old enough to visit an R rated site  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
