> Here are my first five replies to people who replied to my farewell note.. > 1)I never play Goodie characters.. I know I could pull it off, with my attitude and all, but.. it's just not me. ;-) Besides, my favorite race is dark-elf, felar is a close second. (n/t) > How is that saying I'm a Great? I said I never play Goodie characters. [fact] I said I could pull it off, with "my attitude and all"... because usually even my Evil characters are cheery and joke around. > 2)I understand your role, I hope you are recognized for it. *tip* (n/t) > *boggle* > 3)Ack! I'm sorry I forgot you.. I had a first draft and then my browser crashed, forgot you in the second draft! Sorry. Thanks (n/t) > Right again, me saying I'm a Great. I don't see how I could have been so shallow. > 4)Glad you found your shoes. *grin* I just like Evil chars.. Playing Lawfuls recently, had a few year run of chaotic ones ;-) *grin* (n/t) > huh? > 5)I am no where near playing a rager... In fact, I already have a char going.. happy with it so far. *cheer* (n/t) > Another fact. "I" (me, Zepachu) "am no where" (not even remotely thinking about) "playing a rager" (playing a rager) > Thoroughly Confused, > > > While it was nice of you to include me in that list of two other players that I respect (Imbrogno, Proud Blade).. I don't think your "attitude" toward us is justified. I don't see myself, Imbrogno or Proud Blade going around reprimanding people for playing multiple characters. > > > I can see how you could perceive it like that, though. The simple truth is that we just may be more emphatic about suggesting someone play one character at a time, in multiple threads. > > > I agree with you about how variety is a very powerful thing, but you must also realize that you yourself play three characters... Would you play seven? To me that's stretching it quite a bit. > > > I completely understand how you might want to play a mage one day, or a warrior the next... but let me ask you this, Sir... If you logged on a day where you really wanted to play your Mage, and saw only baddies in your grasp... would you logoff and relogin as your Warrior? If you answered yes then ding ding ding, that's my whole point. I severely doubt you would stick it out as your Mage where you had a great chance of being killed. Again, that's my whole point. > > > In addition, I don't feel I am the best roleplayer in CF. I play my role, as I do, for fun... just like you. Sometimes I'll make a role where the character is more into dressing "properly"... (i.e. a Drow that only wears neckwear and perhaps a belt... NOTHING ELSE.) Sometimes I'll make a role where someone carries around extra clothing to help in a RP situation... (i.e. a DARK HOOD, for sad occasions, or occasions of wanting to be alone, in the Inn, sitting in the corner... with his dark hood draped over his face.) So you see, you and I, we're not much different. We play for fun. I have infinitely more respect for someone that plays one character even when they have 13 people in the grasp, 12 of which are enemies, one of which is them. Yet they stay on for four hours realtime, maybe even dying a few times. That's not to say I don't have respect for people with seven characters, though. > > > Also, I wasn't aware that I was getting crack out of Nepenthe's crack. Maybe he owes me some back-crack-pay... I'll have to e-mail him on that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. > > > Cleaning His Pipe, > > > > Some of us play CF for fun, not validation in the eyes of others in terms of being good at RP/PK. If I cared all that much, i'd spend the four hours it would take to respond with your own words. But if you aren't going to accept subtle criticism, why would I try the direct approach? Do you realize how much you've posted in the last three to four months? Sheesh, I am sure everyone was impressed with your "delightful personality". But here, you come off as overly talkative bore. Perhaps you should try a more productive outlet for your crack withdrawl. "Crack? I was never that stupid." Zip
