Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

Yeah. God damn did that forum builder have some really neat stuff that RPG could do with having.

@Grim

Probably one of quite a few features that are more or less industry standard, yet missing due to Mahz building this one and making the integration from scratch.

@ArenaSnow

I don't think being informed of unread posts when you're about to post is industry standard, but RPG is definitely starting to show its age. Unfortunately, Mahz is clearly too busy to be implementing major features right now, and I doubt we'll be getting a second coder anytime soon.

@Grim

This is integrated into some popular platforms.

Planetminecraft had it before the forums ended up looking pretty shitty and were a customized form of some big platform. Alas, I don't remember what it is. Might have been phpbb. Either way, it's not an excessively rare thing to come across.

>PlanetMinecraft

Fucking degenerate. But that platform might've been Forumotion, idk, that's the forum builder I used.

If I feel like it, I might give it a look with an offline phpbb setup. Someday.

In other news, who knew that asking players to read all of the rules could be classed as mean, evil, or trickery?
Reading? In my roleplay? It's more likely than you think!

[Eklispe]

I came here to write not to read!

[ArenaSnow]

^ I lost brain cells. Strange, I thought I didn't have more to lose, but that gouged up some ancient ones down there.

@ArenaSnow

I'd like to believe it was sarcasm. But hell if I know anymore.

On my own separate notion that I might as well bitch about, forums without supportive communities collapse into the dirt. People turning their heads or acting blind to problems is akin to cowardice. I'm honestly a little disgusted, but not at all surprised.

@SleepingSilence

Half and half? I like to think the 'not read' part was some figure of speech/joke/something beyond my questionable sense of humor. But if you come to write and not read, you're not a roleplayer, you're a writer, and this site is no longer suitable :p

Why do I think the unquoted part 2 of the above was a dig. I can see the dirt from here, ya know.

[SleepingSilence]

@ArenaSnow Well it's just a little too silly to be serious reply. Though I can agree and also understand that even as a joke it probably hurts on some level...because you know somewhere out there that's somebody's mindset.

Wasn't really about anyone specifically. Sorry, I don't like separating posts cause it feels like spamming. :P

[ArenaSnow]

Seemed appropriate-

you must first slap him upside the head twenty times at the correct angle with a newborn elven baby from another universe before he is vulnerable to the correct pitch of Jar Jar Binks screaming

What people try to do for weaknesses on a CS

Kind of obvious that it was sarcasm.

grow up lol

@PrinceAlexus I need to see the original post to make an estimate as to 'how obvious' it is but from what I can see, you can quote GM post and 'see' the hidden portion easily.

<Snipped quote by Grim>

That is simple, yet amazing.

@Raddum

bro this is a feature in most ~~~free~~~ forum setups. rpg doesn't need any of that free crap. RPG is like the home made hand-milled coffee that tastes like shit but 'you have to appreciate the flavor' because it's artisan handmade coffee.

@ArenaSnow

I think the more annoying one is when people pass off 'limits' as 'weaknesses'

`my character can't use this technique for more than 2 seconds`

y-yeah that's a limitation on it's use but how do i surpass the technique or overpower i-

`he has to stay in his place for 2 whole minutes to channel it first`

y-yeah but how do i bloc-

`it drains a lot of his stamina`

>on the bright side, he got a nosebleed, took 2 hours to cast it from the top of some mountain, and went in a coma for three years
>fuck you, respect my limitations

[Silver Carrot]

Having to stay in place to charge an attack is kind of a weakness, as the method to counter that ability is clearly just to run up to them and hit them.

@Silver Carrot

Depends entirely on context - a good writer will turn the limitation into a weakness (and write that out). A poor writer/a powertripper will just leave it vague and just say 'he has to stay in place' which isn't a weakness on and of it's own.

[Todd Howard]

I love when people complain about something with my CS, but due to some sort of retardation it's perfectly okay on the next character that comes in in their book
