Just keep in mind, when you label someone as X, make sure they really aren't Y by you putting forth effort to see if there is more to a person then meets the eye.

I agree. If this is a co-worker. Or a friend of a friend or spouse. Or a classmate. Or someone IRL.

I DON'T agree IC.

I'll say it a million more times, cf is a *GAME* damnit.


Yes. I could think up a really cool role that would require me to be an utter ass to everyone for 3 months real time, then turn into the coolest friend out there.

Then I *COULD* say that those who didn't put up with those 3 months of assholish rp to get to the "inside" rp was their own fault. It is THEIR fault, not mine, that they thought I was an asshole.

bullcarp.


It's a game. If you don't want to play a character that other people will have fun interacting with, fine. But don't put on airs and say that other people didn't have fun interacting with you because of some failing of THEIRS. It was your choice.

It's a GAME.

If someone doesn't have fun rping with you, why SHOULD they spend time not having fun on the off chance that they might, someday, at some time to be determined by YOU, see something different in your rp that might make it fun?

I've played characters that other players didn't like. I had fun with them. So I don't say every goodie must be good friends, or even likeable.

but when I had unlikeable characters, I didn't blame anyone but myself when people didn't like my characters.

You just had a post that blamed everyone for not putting up with your carp long enough to find out just how cool you were.

Utterly and completely disgusting. In my opinion.


What I find funny, is that this kind of "I'm a jerk to all, except a few people who have taken the time to get to know me" role is far more common amung goodies than baddies, in my experience.

Why? because ic, goodies may just well *HAVE* to deal with you, nomatter how unlikeable you are.

I feel there are quite a few people out there who actually take advantage of this.

Karithia might have had the most interesting role in history. And might have been cool to those who were willing to not have fun long enough for you to decide to be cool to them. But it wasn't the fault of those not willing to put up with you that long for not getting to know you. It was your fault for not making it fun enough for them. It was your fault for driving them away.

But I've always put Karithia's player in that group of people who intentionally were taking advantage of the ic limitations of other goodies for the purpose of getting away with being more abrasive than you could get away with as an evil.

I might be wrong. I doubt it, but I might be.
