[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 4130896, member: 7006"] Despite all the explanations, justifications, and reasonings of why everyone's character is where he is and is going what he's doing... it doesn't change my main point in the first place. I... DEFCON 1, the player... is tired of roleplaying against Janis. It's as simple as that. As the only two original players in the entire game, James and I have been roleplaying this major conflict between Jarrith and Janis the entire time... where both characters are constantly sniping and arguing with each other because both are insufferable. But for the same reason why most DM's say "no evil characters!" in a game they try and put together... because invariably the inter-party conflict overshadows the game itself... most of my time is spent reading the insults James writes for Janis. Either it's things she says, or things she's thinking... usually against the other members of the party. I'm just tired of it. I'm tired of trying to roleplaying the inter-party conflict... regardless of whether it's justified or not. So here's the deal... the only way I'll continue to play Jarrith is if James agrees to one simple rule... we have a truce... no more insults, verbally or thought-wise to each other or within the party. We channel all of the character anger [I]outward[/I] to the NPCs and the game itself, rather than inward to each other... then I'll continue with Jarrith. Otherwise I leave the game altogether, or I play a character like Ladreth, who hopefully won't get under Janis' skin and become another brunt of Janis' ire. [/QUOTE]
