#624, "7) The amazing halting role. - Honesty"


          

I'm definatley guilty of this.

With my current char, my poor excuse to myself is that I'm so immersed in the roleplay and there is just so much going on I can't live without a second of it by taking the time recording it in my role.

But that's not my real question. I sat down and started to record some of the things that my char has been involved in. Now some of it has been fantastic and I started to fear that an imm reading it just might not believe that I had actually pulled of such feats of RP unless they had actually observed the incident.

So, how often do you read a role that you feel you have to question the validity?

This leads to my next thought, I write my roles from the third person "bob thinks he fooled fred into doing x" in which if I exagerrated, I as a player would be lying to an Imm. If I wrote my role in the first person "I fooled Fred into doing x" exaggeration could be veiwed as IC and an acceptable statement from the chars distorted point of view.
So is there a preffered approach or even an opinion up there on this?

Thanks again for the great game, and even if we 'forget' to record all the neat stuff in our roles does not mean we didn't do the RP and enjoy your game.
