Message: <blockquote data-quote="preacher of nothing" data-source="post: 2560430">Hmmmm.....this is a very interesting thread i've been directed to....i hope i don't disturb the sanctity of it or anything by posting here....if so i would so kindly ask wizo_trelian that i've heard good things about to delete the post and place it where it should belong.And now for a few nitpicks if you don't mind:first of all...heh, i'm not THAT old to the site to make my head hurt...Second of all....you're right....it has indeed degenerated. And from several reasons. What this thread IMO is trying to do is help with the young rp-ers, aka newbies. While this is all fine and dandy, its not always these people that disturb me on ISRP. I've gotten used in my time on the site to ignore the "lich with so many powers and immune to everything and with autohits flying around" even without using the iggy stick.....so that doesn't bother me as much as:1. Oldies thinking they're better simply because they've been online for longer2. Oldies actually having storylines that are suitable for B rated movies3. Oldies ganging up (which i understand is natural but disgusts me anyway) with no real reason other than to sit back in a state of utter lethargy and watch the place, commenting upon everyone and everything4. Oldies and Newbies using stereotypical ideas, characters and so on, lacking any imagination or originality of their own.5. People (and i don't generalize here because these people belong to BOTH categories - oldies and newbies) that are insulted by an action that THEY don't perceive should have existed....in the manner of "Hey.....you couldn't possibly have done that....you're a paladin. You're just stupid"6. People that find themselves in a tight spot and due to lack of imagination resort to the CoC as a final resort....this being spoken, time to move on to the next nitpick <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I'm sorry to say this.....but you obviously have't been on the chat site in a while now....Aren't you aware that all the characters are Gods???*clicks sarcasm button off* But seriously now...i don't know about "Average Joe" but when faced with imminent death, or mortal danger, i'll rp my character like i would act....run for my life through any means. I'm not saying this is a must, since many have "Oh so brave" characters that they will rp "properly"....but still...next:and that is linked directly to this:Alright.....here's my comment upon this....without any insult meant, my friend......you are the Karl Marx of rp-ing.....you have a great idea that should work in a perfect world.....but it won't here....In my few years on wiz., i must say that NO ONE has ever approached me in that manner, just as NO ONE has been approached by myself in that manner. I'm sorry to say this, but to me, rp-ing (as selfish as it may sound) is not something i do simply for the enjoyment of others...it's not a play i put together with SuchAndSuch for the wonderful public....the best roleplay i've recently had on wiz. involved a drow character of mine (one of the incredibly few that actually acts like a REAL drow....not the exiled wanna be spider hating wine drinking every second flirting unable to make any strategy oafs that populate the drow nation of wiz.) and a half moon elf half avariel. I spoke to her in rp, but didn't mention what i was about to do. She went along,then i went along, then she went along and so on....we both had great fun this way....as did the entire tavern that was previously in a comatose state of mind...I would like to conclude with this:I hate to say this, but etiquette is the one thing you're lacking right now when you comment upon another site. Especially one i sincerely doubt you've visited or have been invited to. I am indeed a member of that sire, and most important, of its "family". There are many things that bother me about rp-ing here that i can ignore while there. Wizards is Sunday Church and [edited] is the evening pub. No offense intended, as Wizards is responsible for me learning to rp....and i still rp here....though not quite as often, the main reason being that stated by yourself, that ISRP has degraded. I would discuss these things that bother people about ISRP in a civilized and mature manner....but all i fear is that the nitpicks and questions that will be raised will be answered with little more than a cold shoulder or a ban. This is indeed a good thread for newbies, but helps in no way with oldies....something to ponder on...</blockquote>
