[QUOTE="Korgan26, post: 1570627, member: 14341"] I stopped reading the posts around the bottom of page 4 so forgive me if this has been pointed out. My impression of MythusMage is like that councilor in high school who saw something in you and gave you the "you're not living up to your potential" speech. "Now Billy, you're very bright. You could be an astronaut or a doctor, but the way you're heading you are going to be picking up trash on the side of the highway in an orange jumpsuit.” I get the feeling that MythusMage’s whole problem is that, He (Had to pick a pronoun, and I figured that “It” wouldn’t come across very well. If you are not a “He” please take no offense.) doesn’t think that players are getting everything that they can out gaming and he wants to change that. To him, his characters are flesh and blood with a history and a direction for their “lives”. But to others it just paper and that bothers him. On a side note, Mythus. What brought this on? You come across to strongly for it to have just popped into your head. (Although you do write like it did, you’re lacking a definite coherence of thought, or even a linear, well explained, idea.) It seems to me that you got in to an argument about…whether or not your character is real. (Did the character die and you cry, as if loosing a friend.) Your characters are as real as you think they are. The great thing about reality is that it is personal and malleable by your perception of the world. This is not an attack on you by any means. If it comes across that way it’s because I’m and ass, and I lack anything that resembles tact. Z [/QUOTE]
