Stupid, eh? I actually find that highly offensive, and it's HARD to offend me, so I congratulate you. It's Roleplaying talk, you ijit. I'm a man of the Story Forum and Arena, you know. Sometimes it rubs off on my other posts. It's also creative talk, which today's world is severely lacking. But Roleplaying isn't "stupid talk", else, why am I even here? Thank you for proving my point.

Grey won't always be there to come to my rescue, so... I'd say I handled myself pretty well in this case. Thank you, Living Assets.

Anyone else, amigoes? (God, I'm SO off subject, but it's worth it... )

I think it was fair enough. Kyouji just isn't into the whole RPing thing. He doesn't understand people like us, I guess.

Nah, it's just a little to obvious that Schwa had a little to much sugar or something...

However, talkin' in this accent is kinda how I talk, because of the point that I was raised in Kansas. Really isn't very fun when people can point it out a mile away. I really didn't know it was that noticeable, but apparently it is. Maybe because I speak slower or maybe because I cut off all the "g"s on ings....

I was unaware that roleplayers like to type with ridiculous accents and craptacular grammar.

Oooohhhhhh, this guy likes controversy! I like Alastor now that I've met him! He's just like me when I'm not on the Board.

Killing two ducks with one laser cannon, I'd like to point out that in Roleplaying, during the narrative portions is when good grammar is necessary, but when we're writing our characters' Dialouge, it's vital to keep in mind that MANY people actually talk like the way Tarale pointed out, OR with an accent, or both. Someone might actually talk like "I gots meself a new pair o' shoes at da mall yest'rdee" involuntarily! Doing accents really makes the writer think, both in Roleplaying and regular novel writing.

Also, because I'm a roleplayer, I end up capitalizing a lot of words that you normally wouldn't see capitalized, such as Good and Evil. Most of the time it's even purposeful, but when I'm NOT Roleplaying and someone catches an ostracisable uppercase letter, you can see how that'd embarass me for a moment. Secondly, I end up posting how I'd talk in real life, because thanks to the Roleplaying I actually feel like I'm in a room with you guys when I'm replying to a non-RP thread.

Roleplaying really is a whole 'nother world. It might even do you good to stop by our two forums, but you NEED to be creative, you NEED to enjoy writing, and you NEED a LOT of spare time on your hands (which doesn't look like a problem). Knowing you, though, you may very well just blow me off... But at least take a LOOK at some of the stuff we do. You'll get a better idea of where I'm coming from.

To Skydude: Did you even GET my PM?!?

Indeed... Schwa has had to much sugar...

I'm sure he's aware of common rules of writting, he's just a jackass, one that people have become to know and accept.

Oh, I get it. Alasstor the Stylish. Cleeevah.

But that's just like me, Drac! The only difference between us is that I've used creative writing as a discipline that focuses the positive chakra in my spirit to the surface both when I'm posting and when I'm in public. If I've written for half an hour right before going to my psychologist every other Friday, I'm able to function better during our conversations. That goes with ANYTHING else you can think of.

That's why I seriously suggest that our donkey friend Alasstor at least LOOKS at the creative writing possibility. Unless, of course, people will start to miss the OLD him, which they probably will 'cause I know by this point I would, and I've known the guy for only a few posts...

Man, maybe I should start posting outside the RP forums more. Look at all the glory and stuff I've been missing! Thanks, Stylish, you've opened my eyes a little more today.

I've no interest in checking out the two forums in question. I used to be involved in such activities, and I've looked there, and the quality there from what I seen is more or less abysmal

... Or was a few months back, anyway.

A few months back there lacked any sort of activity.

There still is hardly any activity since Kirbynite got KH2.

Oh man, I wish all my friends didn't have jobs so we could go do something, I totally hate being here all day, but sitting around in boredom just makes me aggrivated.

Actually, people have told me that the Arena had never been the same since I left. And it's kinda true; I saw less activity and lower quality battles when I left the Board and occasionally spied on the place as a Guest... When I came back, the good ol' battle quality I once knew picked back up.

I thought of something else, though: Alastor, you help out in the SMW forum with advice every so often, right? That's even though most of the questions asked anymore seem to be n00b questions... In that sense, the SMW hacking forum is essentially just like the Arena. They stay away from us because they see us as low-quality, but they don't take the time to seek out the gems. I've seen some very intelligent questions recently in SMW Hacking, so that place has gems too.

It all depends on the poster, really. Some RPers take the Arena and RPs VERY seriously, and all their battles and stroies are very long and complicated and high-quality stuff. I'm one of those people. Some people just want to goof around in a lighthearted way, and they'll get a different audience of opponents than someone of my style. Just as there are many styles and skill levels of Roleplaying, it's the exact same way with SMW hacking. Some people are really good, someone else may be really good in a whole different way, and some people are n00bs. Does this make sense and do you agree with it?

SMW hacking got less stupid ever since "we" started cracking down on the stupidest questions, though

But yeah, I've been known to frequent there and help out whenever I can. The place is stupid, sure, but hopefully it will eventually become less stupid. As is my understanding, grey and presumably others feel the same way of SF/SB. I'm just rather apathetic regarding those things, so eh.

Do you, by chance, have AIM? I would like to strike up a more formal conversation with you.

No... No, I don't have AIM. I might get it soon, since I have permenant Internet now, but until then you may PM me about anything you'd like. I prefer the PMs anyway, really, since it gives me more time and energy to reply.

You can ask me anything you'd like. It is 98% impossible to offend or embarass me.

Edit: Oh yeah, also... Grey and I talk A LOT in PMs, so you can ask him stuff about me too. Tell him you have Schwa's permission in case he gets skeptical.

Eh.

I'll pass on that. I've always found private message to be quite inconvenient.

PMs are a slower means of communication. I see little point to using them for anything but asking questions in private when someone isn't online. Using AIM is much faster and more practical if you plan to have long discussions.

Exactly. People who don't have AIM are just being annoying for the rest of us
