I'm not taking anything personally. Â I am friends with most everyone in this thread, and know that they don't mean anything personal against me :-X Â And as someone who has no intention of playing a Dragoon in RP I don't really have anything at stake I the topic. Â I just like people to be accepting of RP that fits so easily within the games canon. Â It doesn't sit well with me for people to be preemptively dismissing others.
 The thread is about a stigma against people RPing Dragoons, on the first page we have discussion about someone being kicked out of an FC tied in with discussion of the absurdity of Dragoons being able to jump.  This was followed by an explanation of why physics and believability are important for immersion (the implication being that Dragoons are immersion breaking).
I have certainly seen the discussion of believability that has followed within that framework: it isnt beleivable and therefore its immersion breaking, and bad RP. Â Warren and others have not expressed themselves in the sense that, "I understand that we have to offer leeway in RP, but I am curious how it's meant to work", but instead have followed within the vain of "its not believable", which is not a neutral knowledge-seeking stance to adopt, especially in this context.Â
That's why I just clarified what my purpose is: not to prove that Dragoon jumping ability is believable, Â but instead to make the point that it should be accepted in RP regardless.
Edit: I see Zhavi's post I was responding to has been removed, basically. Typing on phone is too slow ^^
