Off-Topic Miqo'te StuffDifferent strokes for different folks. A couple of posters above said that most of the Miqo RPers they've come across have been non-traditional, but I have personally seen the exact opposite. Most Miqo chars I've encountered (either in random RP or from what I've read in bios) embrace the tribal lore to some extent or another... which is why I even brought up my point of the possibility of traditional Miqo'te practices being old-fashioned in the first place.

Regardless, until SE comes out and gives us some hyper-detailed lore breakdown for the Miqo'te, there's no 100% right or wrong side. The more important point I want to touch on is... If someone doesn't feel like sticking as closely to the lore as possible, or even if someone does just straight-up want to be a "Hyur with cat features"... Who cares? As long as they're not butting their way into your RP and trying to tell you what to do, it's not our place to do the same to them.

Now, if I want to bring things back on topic... I actually have a little bit of criticism for the polyamory guide. I will admit that this is a very nitpicky critique, but it's been nagging at me for a while so I figured I'd finally just touch on it.

I personally feel that the whole guide is... well... really long-winded. Every major post you've made in it thus far could be condensed into one or two simple, concise paragraphs. Is the need for such verbose elucidation meant mostly to cater to RPers who have zero experience in romantic RP, polyamorous or not?

I think this gets more into preferences as a reader - I didn't find it particularly long winded, myself. It was a pretty easy read, and quite clear in general, the vertical "communication" notwithstanding (I suspect that was some formatting weirdness with the forum). You've got a good point about the intended audience, though. Personally, I feel that it's better to err on the side of verboseness in a guide, since it's implied that the intended audience is less experienced with the sort of activity that it's a guide to.

^^^ This right here as well Smile

In a way, it can even be intended as a guide to 'regular' genre of romances as well (monogamy for example) since both sides share similar issues with differences in scope and specifics.

Over all I try to keep in mind "If I was new and completely clueless, would this make complete and total sense to me?".
