Scott's player wants to roleplay Scott as a witty character.
Over the course of one week, Scott's player roleplays with three separate groups of players.
Group 1: Abby, Brian, Jenny, Dean.
Group 2: Cecilia, AJ, Michael.
Group 3: Joseph, Irene, Kevin, Ian, James.
The impressions made by Scott's character are as follows:
Abby and Jenny thought Scott was clever. Brian and Dean thought he missed the mark a lot.
Cecilia and Michael were amused by Scott's antics. AJ was not impressed and thinks his character is wittier.
Joseph, Kevin, and Ian thought Scott was a riot and invited him to do a comedy routine at their weekly tavern RP event next week. Irene and James were irritated by Scott's humor and do not wish to RP with him again.
Given the above information is Scott a witty character?
Slightly above average (though probably enough to carry the character).
If we take all given opinions as a sample, we can say that he has thoroughly entertained over half of all three of his audiences, enough that only two people will refuse to ever RP with him again (which, given he is doing a comedy routine, seems to suggest that he might be witty, but might also be thoroughly offensive, making him Eorzean Frankie Boyle).
Overall, I'd say that, at the very least, Scott himself can pull it off. Â He seems to be putting out enough wit to be taken seriously as an in-game comedian and only three people in the sample believed, by the statement, he was flat. Â Scott the player might not be a comedian in real life (he may not be offensive enough to be entertaining), but he seems to be capable of carrying the character. Â At the very least, he wouldn't have to tell anyone he's playing a witty character, as in the OP. Â He's doing a fairly good job.
I'd be pretty pleased with that kind of ratio.
