On the upside, Roleplaying discussion forum hasn't been this active in a long time.

I'm going to leave before the thread implodes in true Inkarnate fashion. You guys have fun.

This discussion and its content is interesting; just remember to keep it civil. There's merit to looking at writing as both a personal art form and expression, along with writing being a medium that can be optimized to broaden its appeal or tweaked toward a target audience.

Knowing RPG this is not going to be interesting for much longer. Unless screeching and finger-pointing is interesting. I'm sure its interesting to someone!

Anyway, one of the worse writing advice that I ever saw was:

"Keep politics out of your writing."

I guess that person hates 1984 and Fahrenheit 451. lol

Bro...


Mind, those are separate. People praised my reviews. And thought my response to people's attacks to me, were incredibly well put together.

But like you even care for the clarification.

@LegendBegins Literally everyone else who has spoken other than me (and people who haven't replied to me) have basically done nothing but call me an asshole.

I think we left civility off the train. ^-^'

@SleepingSilence

Then let's all bring it back into station. I think you make great points when it comes to the latter kind of writing I mentioned, and up to page 4 it was an engaging discussion. Let's all keep it civil or change topics.

And to all, no personal attacks.

I never called you an asshole but i guess just lumping everyone who disagrees with you into "asshole" is easier than actually arguing

umm... You aren't making things better man. Plus, you're kinda proving everyone's point right now...


Yeah. Not even a little. Because an asshole would've probably just done what everyone else has been doing for the past few pages. ^_^'

@Fabricant451

You wouldn't last in a day in my shoes? :3

You failed. It was in chat where people used slang. You know that's not the same thing whatsoever. And you weren't even correct with your corrections. Saying "you're wrong actually" isn't "blowing up". Time doesn't change this. Grow up please. ^_^


you were asking a question in a general chat specifically related to something you were writing. and you didnt tell me i was wrong (i wasnt), you called it a "jab". to paraphrase you, the point im making is being stingy and obnoxious over grammar while not being grammatical yourself isnt wise. roleplaying is a hobby and its really not the end of the world if people make mistakes, it doesnt warrant trying to rewrite their work. if it is really that offputting, leave the roleplay and find a new one. having an "im a better writer than you" attitude is the least productive attitude you could have.

Probably not, as I'd have the self awareness to know when the fuck to walk away.


Glad I dipped out when I did. No ragrets.

Now what's the next writing advice to discuss? People who say semi-colons are bad but don't know how to use them?

I think the worst advice I was ever given is eating that tuna and meatball sandwich from subway untoasted.

actually arguing


Man it isn't about winning, I'm just entertained.


Come on, we're all simply bored and killing time. Why else would we be here? (And my roommate gets a kick out of reading my hate fan club.)

Like, if my friend just showed up on time, I'd be playing on the Switch and everyone else would have to find another stranger to harass on the internet. ^-^'

It's not harassment, pal. You have this uncanny ability to put yourself through shit and then have the audacity to insist you smell like roses. It's almost impressive.
