Against my better judgement, I'm going to reply to this.
Can non-witty players portray witty characters and do it well?
Yes. Â I've seen it happen. Â It was the hardest thing for those players to pull off, and they were scared and worried that they wouldn't, but they worked hard and they succeeded. Â And we loved them for the effort they put into those characters, and we loved them because they were awesome people in general.
That's really all that needs to be said.
This thread comes across, to me, as an attempt to tell certain players that they're just not smart enough to portray their characters.
The reality is, most non-witty people will never - not ever - attempt to portray a witty character. Â In fact, I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen it attempted. Â It's really out of the comfort zone for most players to RP something they don't feel qualified to portray. Â The ones who DO attempt to pull it off? Â They should get kudos for making that attempt, not threads telling them that they're "dumb" and shouldn't try.
I've yet to meet a single "dumb" person roleplaying. Â I've met young, inexperienced roleplayers, but I've never met a dumb roleplayer.
