(That are on fire).
I like my (RP-romance) women like I like my coffee...COVERED IN BEES!
Finally, someone got the joke.

Fun response: "No, I'm talking to mine." Then stand back and watch the fireworks as said guy goes all Internet Tough Guy[size=xx-smal]tm[/size].
So angry, so, so angry on the internet.
Tyriont Wrote:It's really easy to say "well, some people just can't keep IC and OOC separate so they suck". Not that anyone's doing that, but it's a common argument. Problem is, we play these characters a lot, RP them a lot. Get inside their heads. Especially those who don't use a lot of alts and just stick with the one character...in a way, they become an extension. It's only natural to feel some sort of "emotional feedback" which can pass over into OOC interactions. The key is to identify them ahead of time and take steps to stop it before friendships are lost, shells ripped aparts and dogs and cats wind up living together.
Very well said. Ive always been attached to my rp characters, long term or not. Theyre kinda always a part of my repertoire.
