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.

I remember that program... It's what pretty much screwed up my old computer last year, and forced me to buy a whole new computer....
