I don't know if you're Bae, but this is a textbook example of a bad role player who thinks they are good. How/Why? 1) Long and pretentious emotes. 2) Emoting out thoughts and feelings as if people can mind read, just so they can better push their own narrative on the situation. Insulting other characters in emotes, etc. People are literally not mind readers, stop telling them how stupid they are in emotes, it makes you look stupid. Shit like this is you just being borderline (not really borderline) a passive aggressive fellow who brings OOC into IC. Edited July 2, 2021 by SCANDALOUZ 2 Link to comment

Because just bombarding the customer with emotes, without giving them the opportunity to feel included into the scenario, will just ruin the experience. Well, that depends sometimes I get customers who do nothing for the entire sesh, so I just emote and emote. Link to comment

Fruit. Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 long /mes are for elitist just trying to flex their vocabulary. anyone who thinks long mes determine how "good" a roleplay is simply ignorant. these people thrive off of shoving their idea of "good" roleplay into everyone's throat and it needs to stop. roleplay is for everyone, regardless of their background and not everyone has a vocabulary set comparative to a university professor with a PHD in english. as long as youre roleplaying realistically with regards to your surroundings and background, you should be good.

Yes roleplay actually has styles or types as well. It's called descriptive narration and it is directly borrowed from screenplaying. Edited July 2, 2021 by Engelbert Link to comment
Fruit. Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 also /mes are supposed to express a single action or emotion, rather than a sequence of actions (to avoid powergaming), so short and concise /mes are the way to go imo. 1 Link to comment
stringer Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I would personally say that a long /me doesn't make a good /me. Quality over quantity, always always always. I've seen a lot of people write 250 char /me's that just contain pointless details which do not contribute to the roleplay at all. Link to comment
