- I really don't like "internal monologue" -- those emotes that have a couple of words followed by several sentences about your character's mental state.Â
- I am guilty of internal monologuing a lot, and I'm glad to see this comment posted! I always wonder if it annoys people. I do it for a few reasons. It's a way to me to explore my character's thoughts by getting something out into writing, rather than letting it swim around in my head. Sometimes a situation doesn't call for speaking or acting, so I want to show that I'm engaged in and aware of the situation by contributing a post. I don't mind that it's revealing anything, because to me it's similar to how you'll see cutscenes of a part of the story that you're not physically present at. It's a snippet more for the player than the character.
- I have have a bias in favor of characters with traditional names, appropriate to their race. I know there are always exceptions, so the execution of any deviations is very important to me. It's one of those things I accept for the sake of getting along and roleplaying.
- I don't like in-character race changes, but accept them for the sake of getting along. I would prefer if someone retires their previous character concepts and creates a new one.
- I am into ERP, and I get pretty anxious about it. My anxiety is mostly about what other people will think, and not actually having any personal problems with it. It's not something I try to pick up quick flings for though, and prefer it with some in-character build-up, or at least an opportunity to get a feel for how the other player roleplays and writes.
- I am fine with a mean/bitchy character who is played by an agreeable player. I am turned off by mean/bitchy characters who are played by mean/bitchy players. My roleplay is social time, and I like to spend my time with decent people who I get along with. I'm not here to entertain jerks.
