First one to vote and I put other, because I don't really remember any of your latest RPs.

And remember, your vote and/or comments will not hurt my feelings.

OOC: Seriously, one of the best. Your creative imagination and unique sense of humor always have me coming back.

Oh and what will happen to RB now that it has been occupied?

[oppposite] You really fucking suck. Sephiroth Rps better than you for fuck's sake. [/opposite]

Dunno. Never RP'd with you.

You're a bloody good RPer (though I'm hardly a master of the art, so my judgement's not worth much) and don't you forget it! Even if I don't agree with pretty much anything you place in your RPs, they're always well-crafted, imaginative, and as often as not morbidly humorous.

The only thing I'll say is that you used to be better. You just need to learn more military-related stuff and you'll be fine.

Never RPed with you, but making this thread drops you a couple notches regardless.

Probably one of the best RPers, definitley better than me. I'd say your RPing skills are probably one of the ten best on NS.

I don't like answering these things, to be honest. They have enormous potential for disaster either way.

Having said that, what works in your favor is your imagination. When it's used well, you come up with great descriptions of your characters and the events that go on in your world. Your writing is above par in my opinion.

What I think you should work on besides what Pacitalia said is developing a sense of proportions to your military RPs. Some of the losses you post have me scratching my head a bit, even the ones that have been in my favor in our war RP. I think you're well aware of the biggest problems I had with your RP during our war. Those have, quite honestly, make me more reluctant to RP with you in the future.

Besides that, as creative as you can be (and I for one love creativity), it works against you when you don't come up with a plausible explanation (like a way for J.L. to communicate when imprisoned aboard an enemy warship and later in a maximum security prison).

That's my honest impression of your RPing. I felt bad about answering what I did, but then I saw your self-analysis (and Tim's :p), but I guess the frustrating thing is that I think you have great potential as a RPer.

You are a good RPer RB, you really are, but I have seen better work. Not from many, mind you, but I have.

Thank you RB... I'm sorry I didn't say you were the absolute best... I really haven't decided who is.

That's okay, praise from someone as good as you is more than enough to make me happy. :D

Again, thanks to everyone for the input, both positive and negative.

Maybe I'm a bit biased because you're the man OOC, but still, I'd have to say that even if you aren't the top dog in terms of skill, you decimate everyone with your rediculous amount creativity that borders on sheer madness. I'll say that i'd take your work over alot of the stuff from some of the people here that everyone holds in such massive high regard. But I'll say it again, I'm probably biased. Keep it up, RB.

I personaly havent seen you RP enough to formulate an honest opinion, but what I do see is general pretty good, boardering on 'extremly good', which is just under 'awsome', where 'awsome' is 'godlike'.
So,
Let a= Awsome
Let EG= Extremly Good
Let PG= Pretty Good
Let G= Good
Let RB= Roach Busters
S= Sephrioth

S <^5,572,346.65 RB = PG < EG < A

The algebraic forumula for Roach Busters superiority :)

From the same school of logic that says, since a picture is worth a thosand words a movie is worth (12x60)1000xL=W
L= Length of movie in seconds :)

You're more creative then me (damn you!) but there is one criticism that I have.

When you are writing paragraphs, for the love of God use the space button!

Pretty good, RB.

I've never actually RPed with you, but I have read some of your work it's always been of a general good standard.

Theres nothing I can really say about the negatives, which has not already been said.
