Shadows Over Reno

Lithium

@Coin @Arkandel : Call it anecdotal if you want, but I am going to trust my experience over two individuals who are tooting their own horn.

Quality of anything in this medium is subjective.

@Lithium I'll never understand how people aren't taking me to task on shit I deserve to be chewed out over but instead it's stuff like this.

Not just that, but also, tooting our own horns? Lol. Oh man, yes, absolutely, I am the bestest.

God, what kind of weak-ass narcissists have you met that that constituted tooting our own horns? Yikes.

Lithium

@Coin I've played WoD and Firan. I've seen all kinds since 1992. It's not like it's a fight, you two feel differently than I do. Nothing you can say about the quality of your RP or others is going to change my opinion until I run into someone that changes that opinion. I have yet to do so.

Arkandel

@Lithium It's true, I forgot discussions were zero sum games again!

@Arkandel

To get all Nobody Asked You on this, methinks you're starting to protest too much.

Everyone has their own yardsticks for judging whether or not someone appears to be a player who takes care in playing well and enjoyably with others. In my experience, a desc is a very accurate 'hey guys, this is how much I care about my character and how much effort I'm gonna put into playing here' gauge. I have limited gaming time. I don't want to waste it.

Your mileage may vary. You don't have to care that other people see a short/unevocative description as a common trademark of lacklustre roleplay experiences, but it doesn't mean it hasn't held up more true than not for some.

I don't always write my own descs.

You're not probably going to play with everyone on any given game anyway. In general I tried to treat folks as I'd like to be treated. Given a chance with an open mind, make allowances for someone having an off night, ect.

Most of my horrific ooc and ic experiences have been with people who write beautiful, detailed, what some might call overly long descs. But that is not why they were bad, it just reflects the nature of games and circles that I'm attracted to as a player. And since I stopped looking altogether my last year of play, I found myself experiencing the same range of quality as I always had, perhaps even improved a bit because I did not prescreen people on wiki or object description, so I didn't avoid as many people on that filter--I just culled people after 1-3 scenes depending.

@Coin Take the upvote, you magnificent bastard. XD

Arkandel

Is it better to ask forgiveness than permission?

Hmm.

Apos

@Arkandel Only if they have no idea that was the plan.

Arkandel

@Apos Well, shit.

@Arkandel Upvoted for quoting Varric.

I'm starting a new storyline this week, Food For Worms.

It begins with the Werewolves; if you want in, a good way to start is +bbread 14/5 which gives some early information to the appropriate characters, otherwise +event 21 is open to all comers for Thursday (as long as said comers can get to the Shadow).

Please let me know in-game (Richter) or PM me here if you need any special accommodations or need an IC reason to get involved.
