Hey, everybody! I know it's been a while; the last time I dropped in was about a year ago, and I thought now wouldn't be the worst possible time to poke my head in. How'** things going? 404 SIGNATURE NOT FOUND

Angel, last page
That's a good idea; assuming/mentioning that the inactive character was tagging along works, as it keeps the character in the RP, and does not interfere with anything.

Anyways, there was a change of plans. My dad's expected flight was cancelled due to that plane breaking down, and then the next flight was rescheduled, and so my dad decided to just fly back home, where I picked him up, and so ended his vacation. to compensate, I bought beer and KFC! So, thus, I am back home a few hours earlier than I expected.

oh, and Inferi, I edited a post in page 123, removing my brief controlling of Amelia's reaction to the Blue Fire knights a ways back, to better meet your standards.



Ancient,
You mentioned that the Rajputs are a peaceful faction, though the exact opposite is true! Historically, the Rajputs formed their own minor kingdoms, and were too busy slaughtering one another to form a single entity, let alone be peaceful. They also successfully fended-off Muslim warlords, jihadists, and Mughals (Mongols).

Read: Just because we can't control someone else's character doesn't mean that we can't control someone else's character.

The issue here is that no one can ever hope to understand a character so intimately as its original creator. You can try to play someone else's character as faithfully as you want, but you're never going to properly hit the mark. Which means that you are then making someone's character undergo actions which they wouldn't undergo, make decisions they should not make, etc.


A contradiction, but I meant it. People are, in my opinion, the accumulation of experiences and memories of the world around us. Other people help us decide how we feel about these experiences, so it's not hard to believe that the most significant details of character development for our character probably will be shaped by the most prominent characters in the thread - characters that are likely controlled by other players.

I didn't mean that someone should carry on roleplay as a character like one might wear someone else's old sweaty glove, but would it be wrong to simply demote a character to NPC status or maybe have the occasional mention of their feats here and there?
