Now, how do I RP?

The master of copying other people's ideas strikes again! However, now, with a more serious tone. Please, consult with me about my RPing abilities, and if you don't like them be truthful, however, not blatantly because that'll just hurt my feelings :( ... for example, please don't say, "you suck damn! Freakin' retard!"... instead, give me something like, "I think you can improve, especially on [point 1], [point 2] and [point 3]. You know... like the taught in English class.

In any case, I'll make the poll now. Why do I have the feeling that I'm going to receive hate mail?

A giant among men, a champion among losers, one of the 10 best RPers of all time.

A great RPer who puts lots of effort and description into his posts. It's a real shame that most people look at your posts, think "that's too much to read" or something like that and ignore you.

If RP is "fucking gay", then what are you doing on this site? Is it that you are living out your homosexual fantasies? Not that I have anything against that. ;)

Dude... most RPers don't need to start these silly threads about how they RP, if you really want to know ask someone you respect through telegram instead of writing a thread asking people for their opinions about you... they just fall short of flame bait and they have little perpose in a forum designed to be for RP only.

Like I said, just ask someone you respect. It's quicker and doesn't reveal insecurities.

Im not insecure - or perhaps I am and I just dont notice it - I'm just incredibly bored.

[prepared for a great rant]

But point taken Iuthia.

If English isn't your first language, I apologise, but what is the second sentence supposed to mean?

Sorry about hijacking your thread, Mac, but my curiosity got the better of me. :p

Meh... when I'm bored I look for something to do or write more about my nation, I've got alot of things I want to do but little will to actually sit down and do the hard core typing I know I'm capable of.

In anycase I'm not saying you are insecure, but simply that threads like this give me the impression that you're not confident in your ability (I'm refering to all threads of this nature, not just yours, I just chose this one because I had some time spare and these fads are getting out of hand.)

I guess I can't talk though, I'm arrogant as fuck... :p

Hmm... your RPs are ok, but they're a little "And then this fires and it pwns you because... and then this fires and it also pwns you because... and then I cant get pwned because... and then you get pwned anyway because..." That's probably just me though. So, in conclusion, I'd say:

"Meh, good, but can improve" verging on the second best one.


EDIT: THis only refers to certain war posts though. Namely Brimstone and the Kahta thingy.

Guff: I do have your baby... dammit you forgot already! ..alright, now that we got that cleared.

Praetonia: In Brimstone I made one post :( ... and in Kahta, c'mon, the guy was posting four lines in each attack...if you send bombers, unescorted, I'm sorry they're going down.

.. but yea, I am pretty arrogant. But I don't see arrogance as a downplus in RP ability..but that's just me.

You are the Great King, King of Kings, King of countries containing all kinds of men, King in this great earth far and wide, son of Hystaspes, an Achaemenian, a Persian, son of a Persian, an Aryan, having Aryan lineage. By the favor of Ahuramazda these are the countries which you seized outside of Persia; you ruled over them; they bore tribute to you; what was said to them by you, that they did; your law -- that held them firm; Media, Elam, Parthia, Aria, Bactria, Sogdiana, Chorasmia, Drangiana, Arachosia, Sattagydia, Gandara, Sind, Amyrgian Scythians, Scythians with pointed caps, Babylonia, Assyria, Arabia, Egypt, Armenia, Cappadocia, Sardis, Ionia, Scythians who are across the sea, Skudra, petasos-wearing Ionians, Libyans, Ethiopians, men of Maka, Carians.

I mean that sub thingy. You know what I mean! I hope. And yes with kahta is it is somewhat understandable.

.. but yea, I am pretty arrogant. But I don't see arrogance as a downplus in RP ability..but that's just me.
Yeah that's probably it. I just find it somewhat confrontational, as if you assume you've won before you start. I know that that probably isnt what's intended, but it comes across that way.

True. but then again, RPing realistically, no Military Force is going to let the enemy overwhelm them. You're going to hit hard, fast, and first.

Military forces dont always hit first. In fact, they hit first exactly 50% of the time.

You're good at conducting warfare, but when you're writing, it seems to have more statistics than it has soul. It sort of seems like a military computer putting out data. I don't know whether this is a good thing or not though, but it certainly makes posts harder to read.

What I think you should do is to put more emphasis on what the people in your posts are feeling and what's happening on a more human level, rather than the exact numbers and combat capabilities of your forces etc.

OoC: You RP well Macabees, you make some amazing hardware and you've organised some great RP's - you are definitely top rung. I hope to RP with you more some other time!

However, you could pour some more humanity in your RP's, you can write very well, you just need to channel it differently.
