OOC: Does my RPing suck?

I've been told that my RPing was bad, and that I godmode too much and stuff. Do I suck? Or am I delirious? I need to know.

Here's a link if you've never seen my RPing before........which kinda nullifies the prospect of the 'haven't seen you RP before', doesn't it?

Ask yourself this: In an RP, have you ever used "z" in place of "s", "3" in place of "e", or "0" in place of "o"?

Yea, try not to overdo it in the "Godmode" position. Take a hit every once in a while. It makes the RP more fun. ^_^

I have no issuies with it, its not on par with some of the more legendary gamers, but there are few that are on that level.

I haven't used z's and 3's and whatnot yet, but I will someday....hmm...maybe I should post a sample...that'd help.

How, exactly, would you even know what he RPs like, you'fre brand spankin new, he's not, so you've obviously never RPd with him before.

Ever thought about puppets? I have about 6-8 (some have died through inactivity). And some of them have never posted here.

I considered it, but I decided that anyone who really had an opinion would post it themself, not as a puppet. On a side note, this nation started as a puppet, but then became my main nation when Miehm got deleted.

You have to be true to yourself as an rper first, and yes take the hits so that you know how to lose. No one here of course 'wants' to lose their nation unless it's something long planned that no one knows about.

The rping style is in fact, first off, utter fiction from a person's mind. If we're going to go off that, then fun has to come next. If you forget that as an rper, then you lost the way of an rper.

The rest is then unique persona of the individual rper.

Yeah, well, sometimes it happens by accident, I've accidentally posted as a puppet once or tiwce,

I don't have a puppet, and I added a link to my most recent IC Rp thus far, and I am still working on it.

You know, I have four other puppet nations in my roster. But I never used them because it's too much a bother to me to log in for each nation to make a seperate post.

Which means I'm rping by myself in the end.

Rping with NPCs is far more effecient than with puppets. Also I'm more worried about the storyline rather than the numbers anyway. Who cares how large your nation is if the rps have no plot. (a 'real' plot, not the lets blow everything up for the ego-fun of it.)

You'll never see me use a puppet. I probably will let my other puppets die off at some point.

I'd rather not use puppets. I don't really see a point in them.
