Hello guys,
Several weeks ago I posted a message on the FFXIV section, expressing my anger toward those picking on my english for some trivial reason. But shaking fist in the Vent Tent and giving some small advices lost in the flow of messages isn’t something that will help any fellow RPer when it comes to communicate with someone not sharing the same language and/or the same culture.
Keep in mind that not everybody will relate to what I’ll write, those are my words and you don’t need to get angry if we don’t share the same point of view, though, I’ll be glad if some discussion begin as long as it remain courteous. Hell, I don’t know everything and I’ll just go to bed less stupid if there is a debate !
What you will read there is based on my own experience and the one of my friends. On my side, I’m RPer since now more than 18 years, playing MMO since around 10 years, in english since 6 years and RPing in english since around 1 year and a half. I have been GM for years as well and.. Added to this, I’m a Psychology student and groups interactions studies are kinda my thing. And well, to not hide anything from you, the fact I’m a french girl IRL kinda made things harder from time to time with all those prejudice and ideas around who I’m supposed to be because of that.
This guide is a work in progress, so please bear with me while I write it and.. If you have some questions, some ideas, whatever you want to say, please comments, I'll be glad to think about it with you ♥ !
PS : Bear with my english as well, I'll do my best so it will be well written, but my english really far from perfect ._. .
