[QUOTE="Wyvernhand, post: 5533455, member: 97681"] [COLOR=white][FONT=Verdana]Jimlock, you are treading dangerously close to violating the Stormwind Fallacy, and also this boards rules on flaming. Your fun isn't any more "right" than anyone else's fun. If you have fun believing as you do, that’s fine. If you come here and say "my fun is better than your fun", well, real world wars have started from comments similar to that. You stated your opinion; others have respectfully disagreed with you, citing various rules, theses, and schools of thought. You have responded to that criticism with childish attacks on those presenting the arguments, claiming that because they don't think like you, they are "bad RPers" or "munchkins" or whatever. You are welcome to hold your own opinions and argue them in a respectful fashion. You are not welcome to flame other posters, regardless of your or their standing.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][FONT=Verdana]For your information, I have roleplayed with Dandu, and he is very adept at portraying a character, both mechanically and personality-wise.
