@Sammich I know everyone in this hobby is a giant bundle of nervous tics and anxiety issues, myself definitely included, but god I hate it when someone just says “Hi” to me. When my nerves are especially frayed, that comes off like they’re saying, “Hey you, come up with something for the two of us to talk about because I want to be entertained, not do the work of contributing to an actual conversation.”

@GF Exactly this. Don’t put the onus on me. You messaged me for a reason and my psychic pills haven’t kicked in yet, so out with it.

Snackness

@GF I’m usually braced for some creeper shit.

GF

@Snackness Do they actually say anything to you other than answering direct questions you ask them?

Snackness

@GF Yes? That’s why I don’t like it.

GF

@Snackness Interesting. My experience with guys who just page “Hi” is that they will only answer questions and wait to be asked more.

Testament

That’s usually why I live by my theory that you’re(general you’re)an asshole until you prove otherwise.

I grew up with an Irish grandmother and a mostly Welsh grandfather.

It so makes things hard to track.

Up there with nigh unpronounceable names if you don’t know the language to get it right without hearing it. And then only referring to yourself with a name that sounds not even remotely close.

Example:

Caoimhe (Feminine, pronounced roughly Keeva) But the peever might use Alistair. And only Alistair in scene. NO mention of the Irish name ever.

And as a player of superheroes. Much love to friends playing Remy and Rahne for not going nuts on the Cajun and Scots.

It’s fookin text RP. If your text ain’t comprehensible, you ain’t RPing. I’m not here to watch other people jerk off. Except if we know each other pretty well iykwim.

@sao I guess though the same could be said about movies (if you can’t tell what an actor is saying is it bad acting?) Yet for example Brad Pitt had an infamous go in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels where I had no idea what he was talking about.

I admit being exposed to that on a regular basis would get old fast, though.

It was actually deliberate when Pitt did it in Snatch, It was part of the grift.

No one outside his family was meant to understand him.

To a point. Actors aren’t always meant to be comprehensible, it’s a visual medium primarily not an audio one (it’s audiovisual, but the visual is the bigger part of that I would argue).

If one’s text can’t be understood, in a text-based medium, then it’s probably bad text. Sure, puzzles exist, but generally that’s for the character to figure out, not (just) the player.
