KWD: Interest Checks

Well, since I don't actually role-play here, my opinion on the matter is effectively worthless. I still read interest checks from time to time though.
Generally, whether I'm interested in an interest check depends on the tropes present and the reasons why the GM is using those tropes.

A Kind question

Hey, as long as role-players get some new material to role-play with, I'm all for it. My only fear is that people may overly fetishize the culture. Or bastardize it. Essentially I fear people disrespecting the subject matter.

What's the best RP you've ever been in so far?

What's the difference between passive and active Rp

PassiveRP is what you get when your character isn't performing any actions of note. It's quite useful when a time-skip is not an option.
ActiveRP is what you get when your character is performing an action of note. This is basically just standard role-playing.

There are a lot of terms I use in my style of role-playing that aren't used here.

What's the best RP you've ever been in so far?

It was in a somewhat unpopular role-playing gamemode in Garrys' mod. The world was immersive, atmospheric and beautiful; the role-play was character-driven, involving and a good mix of passiveRP and activeRP; The only drawback was that the server crashed.

Criticism, be it constructive or not, can still be rude. Additionally, there is a point when an opinion or even the opinion of several are still based on preference. Recently, I have been scrutinized for my flowery writing style. So what? I'm still grammatically correct and there is a huge crowd that would rather read well-constructed, flowery sentences than dull, neutral descriptions or statements. That is preference, collective or not, and it is rude to push your preferences onto others. Before making any criticism, you should be aware if you are criticizing an actual, detrimental issue or just a personal one that doesn't need addressed whatsoever. Also, the purpose of asking permission is for etiquette. Not only is criticism on any level an often sensitive issue, using a polite, well-mannered attitude is the best way for toning down the negative issues with it and reaching the desire goal.Oh, and to anyone who attempts to be judgmental or criticize you in their very first message toward you can fuck off. That's rude as fuck. Saying "you show potential if..." or "if you improved this" really just merits you a whole bunch of social animosity that you generally deserve.That's another excellent point. Some people just plain don't give a fuck, and kudos to them! There is no point in criticizing someone whom doesn't want nor appreciate the gesture. That, as a matter of fact, is when it becomes rude.

These threads seem to inflate rather quickly.

Role-play merits as much criticism as literature written for other people to read deserves. Additionally, due to the multi-player nature of role-play, someone criticising your role-playing skills isn't like someone walking in on you during a single-player game and criticising your skills, it's like someone criticising you in a multi-player game for making the game less enjoyable for everyone else involved.

TL;DR, people actually have to read that shit, and if they aren't allowed to criticize it for no other reason than they cannot get permission, why.

• People who critique without asking permission. It's rude as fuck to just go around judging people. There is a time and place for everything.

I respect your comment, but I'd like to address this. Constructive criticism is perfectly fine. Only destructive or constant criticism is truly rude. Another thing is, society considers it only acceptable to judge someone or something when they ask for it, or when they deserve it, which is a decent thing to believe.

Oh boy, another chance to post in this thread and curse it to be locked eventually.

This site has this uncomfortable vibe about it that I can't quite explain, I just sense a creepy undertone.

stuff I dislike on other sites

When people choose to flaunt their intellect at the cost of a constructive outcome for everyone involved.

I can't help but feel uncomfortable whenever someone role-plays a canon character, regardless of whether they're a good role-player. Even if that character is a prominent character in a long running series, there's still the extremely high chance that they'll get something completely wrong about that character, and that their emotions and personality will influence that character.

I also get annoyed whenever people use a story they like and try to emulate the intense parts of it whilst disregarding the pacing that made them good in the first place, bonus points if the original story doesn't have good pacing either.

Perhaps it is not the insanity that can cause belief, but the exposure that can cause insanity.

Science Fantasy

I think he means this isn't a new or ideal concept. I somewhat agree. I also dislike fantasy settings that depict races unfairly. Lok'tar ogar, friend.
