Strangest Roleplays

I convinced people to run a roleplay on RolePlay Gateway, where I played a 16 year old latina immigrant who kept having abortions, and the RPrs were fetuses that haunted me throughout the game. They were really into it.

Then I got them all banned for being creepy weirdoes. :3

Err.... maybe it's just me... but how did Seravee's post linked to 'People use their media interests as a subsitute for a personality' ? I mean, she was sharing her experience like I did, and suddenly you're talking about .. personality substitute?

Girls can't be true gamers because gamer is more then just like video games > It's a way of life (or some bullshit.)

The broken logic that makes people act the way they do towards Seravee stems from that root of personality subsitution. They're not the only ones who do it though. Bronies, Whovians, Brown Coats, hell even gang members, found a piece of media they'd rather use as a personality instead of developing their own.

Most of OT people are in spam.But most of spam are not in OT.We even have people from OT here who were part of spam admit it's pretty bad and they stop or reduce going there as a result.As for the magician example, you're implying the magician is already showing the trick. In which case you consider the trolling, derail of topics, and cliche making to be their Intelligence.If that's what spam's Intelligent coversations are... then they have none.There is a huge difference between having an actual argument and points behind it, and simply trying to troll people to assert some sort of "Dominant Alpha Spam Male" position without actually ever addressing or giving thought to a certain topic. So if they're replies of "You're stupid" or "Words! Words are boring! Look how cool I am cause I posted this picture!" is what counts as Intelligent debates that can't be recognized. Then that's basically the same as saying "That McDonald's cashier's job is just as important, thought provoking and respectable that a scientists work in evolution. You just can't recognize it!".

You are completely ignoring what I'm saying, you're moving the goal posts, your point is tangentially related to the subject we were discussing, and you're taking a shit on McDonald's employees, who most are just trying to survive.

Your either retarded or a very good troll, either way I'm done with you. Learn how to debate your point proper, then try again.

Without the classist bullshit as well.

e: I was never arguing spam is a place for debates, I just think it's dumb to say you can't have a discussion that's intelligent in spam, when you have to be pretty intelligent to find a way to fit in. Which is why the best posters are generally pretty smart, erego they must be having discussion that's intelligent, even if it doesn't fit your weird arbitrary standards.

Please get over being laughed out of spam, you can say their nothing but trolls, but that's because you don't know how to fit in with them lmao.

What would you do with a Death Note???

e: I get super snarky when I'm hungry, sorry

I went into GameStop and asked for help finding a game. I was directed to where the Sims games were located.Not once. .

This reminds me of something else I hate.

Why do people use their media interests as a subsitute for a personality? People who say "I'm a gamer, I'm a geek hoi doi doi" are the WOOORSSSTTTT. You've basically boiled yourself down to the media you consume and have erased any chance of me taking you seriously, and the worst part is that's how most of the world sees idiots like that. If I went into a job interview and said I'm a gamer, the Manager would probably just roll his eyes because that means jack-shit on a serious level.

Problems with partners...

Yeah, in my firm the partners are always the worst. I hate it when we work with lawyers.

I didn't read the rules of the thread, but this is what we're talking about right?

I will grant you that I'm not always the best at reading normal people. Hell to this day I regard the normal person's behavior and thinking patterns as foreign.This probably get's worse when online you're left only to words to interpret one's meaning. Things such as facial expression and tone of voice being absent.But I know part of what's needed to have a civil, mature and intelligent conversation. Those things include being able to take it seriously and focus on the topic rather than trolling the individual. Spam from what they've chosen to show me has never done those, so I have no reason to think they are capable of such a thing. If they want me to think otherwise, they're best off showing it. Cause so far it's been a pattern of them claiming they can, but then refusing to actually show it. And honestly if an individual or a community refuses to show a quality about them, they have no one to blame but themselves for people thinking that they lack said quality.

You realize a majority of the people who post in Off-Topic also post in spam?

And like I said before, they're not going to because it's a performance, just like the magician doesn't show you there are two ladies in the box, Spam isn't going to break Kayfabe because you don't understand it.
