Late roles don’t bother me in the least, with one exception. Generally speaking, I don’t care when you enter your roles – level 1 or 51 – so long as you generally RP in a way that isn’t blatantly contradictory to that. So my only gripe would be, hypothetically: you roll a guy and RP him like he’s kinda dumb, then at 51 enter a role about being a genius. So as long as your general character behavior/attitude fits what your “past” role eventually is, I’m entirely unbothered by you entering it super late.

I’d rather you enter it late than not at all.

Re: Role contest. I only rate the role, nothing else. I don’t rate roles lower in the role contest or otherwise based on when they are entered. Roles are roles, and I treat them in isolation.
