with me, I like to immerse myself in the character. When I play, it's like I'm "channeling" the character I am using. Since I tend to play Giant Robots, it's a good thing I watched hours and hours of all the giant robot TV episodes repeatedly. I can get a feel for most if not all the characters.
I've always been able to just make random spur of the moment scenes happen. The ideas just come to me, though in the past they were often 1v1 IC confrontations. I didn't come to rely on planned scenes although I do take part in them. Being able to come up with something on the fly just comes naturally to me.
I love it when people like how I RP and express it! Which is actually quite often.

I'll have to talk to my employer about recording equipment. There's a strict no-recording equipment policy at my workplace, we have to sign a little sheet promising to record nothing. Maybe they'll make an exception for personal safety.
no recording?! Is that because it may be illegal in your state to record people without their consent? Some states are like that.
I got into MUSHing in 2006. I was aware of MUSHes prior to that, but didn't know much about them (I only got internets in 2000). A dude by the name of Dredclaw (dredclaw-2k5 on Deviantart) who I got to be friends with eventually invited me onto Transformers 2005 MUSH, and I joined that June.
I know that a couple of years ago, Transformers 2005 MUSH used time travel to bring back characters that had previously been declared dead (due to the events in Transformers: The Movie 1986).
I just put a stuffed turkey into the oven and am probably going to be slaving over a hot stove later lol. But for now I'm relaxing. Dammit i want my turkey NOW! XD
I guess now that TF2k5 qualifies as an "old game":

So I'm watching True Lies on W (formerly the "Women's Television Network", WTN).
They CUT OUT the Hotel room dancing scene! It jumped straight from "Now remove your nylons one by one." "I'm not wearing any" "that's good..." to "Now lie down on the bed, and close your eyes".
WTF, W. 
@ThatGuyThere haha thanks, he was my favorite Morlock since that episode of the old saban Xmen Cartoon that had him in it.
@HelloProject Yeah there's a lot of overlap between MCM, M3, SRT, and 2k5 in terms of the people that play on those games. Btw, that reminds me...edit to add M3 character...

Slugfest
There was some controversy surrounding my playing of Sunder @ 2k5, Gnaw @ 2k5, and Slugfest @ 2k5. With Sunder, a puritanical element thought I was playing him "wrong", because I interpreted the back of Scourge's box tech specs that the Sweeps were a "wolf pack" a bit more literally than most. I had Sunder literally hunting down Autobots and attacking them, one-on-one when there were not so many Sweep players available that we could have gone after one lone Autobot as a "pack", and I got lots of repeat-business RP that way, with multiple players telling me they loved my portrayal of the Sweep. Other (jealous) players, like Fusillade, complained that Sunder was "attacking helpless autobot (OC) medics all the time". Others (like Fleet and Catechism/Contrail) complained Sunder was acting too "feral", but they were incorrectly using the term, as they were afraid I'd import the concept in my fanfic of "feral Sweeps" which are non-sapient and act like beasts. Then there was the joke one player (Thrust from around 2008) made about "Sweepcubs" (which are also in my fanfic but which I never incorporated into my RP) that grew legs and ran all over the MUSH, which I thought was hilarious but other players were not amused, one (TP Staffer Americon) going to the lengths of incorporating a "Sweepcub" in a fursuit in a tinyplot for the 'cons to destroy a planet called "Furr'eh" and slaughter its inhabitants, including the aforementioned "Sweepcub". I think it was Americon who also complained that Sweeps were "too furry", whatever that means.
Gnaw was a TP character, so I only had him for a year, but again, the usual suspects complained I was playing a damn SHARKTICON wrong. They said he was too much like a "puppy". Sharkticon's brains are in their stomachs. It even says on his box tech specs that he's loyal to whoever fed him last. If "begging" for food while in Shark mode is puppyish, so what? That's what Sharkticons do. Food is generally dangled above them and then dropped to them! So to base Gnaw's actions on how hungry he is, and what Sharkticons in canon do when anticipating being fed, is perfectly reasonable. However, the manner in which the TP staffer at the time (Americon) decided to pull the character from me was sneaky, and involved some egregious powergaming and powerposing on both his and Shockwave's part (Shockwave played by Blitzwing/Boomslang, who later played Swerve).
Slugfest was accused of being "too cute", and it is true that tiny stegosaurs are adorable. I tried to incorporate his habit of super-destructive temper tantrums, but that only works on a trigger (someone has to be talking in a way that makes Slugfest think the mech is talking bad about HIM), but I didn't want to do that too often because mechs that do things like that too often it gets old and boring. I chose an angle where Slugfest desperately wants to be liked, which is the source of his paranoid lashouts, to minimize the incidences, because the guidelines at 2k5 are that mechs that go out of control too often are VERY difficult for players playing CoC to deal with. This resulted in Slugfest being more "friendly" if he was treated well or doted upon. Thus, "too cute". Argh. And half the problem, both in terms of Slugfest and Sunder, was people conflating OOC chat joking around with IC behavior, as if OOC chatter/Public, etc chan things were IC RP. I'm not sure if this was due to insanity or stupidity, but whatever. They can't keep OOC and IC from contaminating each other in their minds. If you want ironic hypocrisy, Boomslang would go "d'awww" at Sluggy's antics right up until he found out it was me. 
sens ju ded?
Dammit sens stop being ded.
Looking at this topic late at night, I could have sworn it said "King of Mu*s Wanted".
I could totally be that.
Hey sens have a look at my avatar and guess who I played
Superman's Pal, Jack Larson (Jimmy Olsen on the old Superman TV series).
@WTFE god i wish i was a developer, I would know how to make my own antivirus that wouldn't pull crap like this....
