A Chance to Call Me Out OOCly

[Nyxie]

To make a long story short, I was finally accused of godmodding and what have you. And the accuser claimed (perhaps only in speculation, I'm not stating it was said in fact) that nobody roleplays with me in invasions (which I've only experienced in Teta, bug I digress) because I do this.

The examples given of me doing this were not good ones, as one wasn't even correct (cited 'hits' taken, reasoning, etc, and debunked) and the other - in my opinion - wasn't fair to call me out upon because it was basically a matter of me following my IC too hard and not bending enough for others, thus apparently nearly "derailing" a thread.

I've always been a person to always follow IC to the letter, until and unless someone just asks me otherwise. I'm not a hard person to compromise with. I do it all the time when it helps out people in need or who are new. Most of the time, I don't hear anything, so I don't know when it's bothering others.



So I ask this - and I mean it wholeheartedly when I say I do not hold it against you; do you remember a time when you felt I godmodded or didn't play fairly, for whatever reason?
If you could please either describe or link such instances, I appreciate it. I want to know what people, such as with [member="Captain Larraq"], feel about it so that I know what to look for, how to avoid doing it and when to break the mould a little for the sake of the RP.

Meh, I usually enjoy your threads... Most of the reason I sign up for them in the first place.

[member="Malachite Avachei"] - A few of the things I was called out on predate you coming to SWRP, but I appreciate it, thanks.

Write your character as though they are the level above, but with the powers of the level below.

Is that what you're advising me to do, or is that what you're saying I've been doing wrong? xD

You threads are always fun and an interesting story. I enjoy them personally.

[member="Oka Osaa"] - Thank you. There's something I want to give you along with the Songsteel, by the way. I think you know what it is. You deserve it more.

Both. Your writing is fine, but only at your level. (knight) You need to write as though you are a Master. Not having subtle hints at why someone made a mistake in their post, or by taking shots at them through an OOC Manner. I have seen you do this many times where they will "hear" your com system, and you will reply, "There would have been no way for them to hear the signal that was sent. With the encryption....." This is really just an example. Some people don't like it when you do things like this.

In writing, you need a level of maturity that is not biased or hurtful to others. This is the reason why I write in First person. Because its all about what "I" Do and what "I" think. Not "He did this because clearly John could not hear him." Hence, "Write as the level above you, with the power of the level below." I have found that it is more enjoyable when there is less Drama that is thrust into the roleplays by means of taking subtle hits at someone. Hence why, I am being honest here, I do not favor in roleplaying with you. Because I fear that if I make a simple mistake as by saying that you did one action rather than a different one, you may do it to me.

I try to avoid drama the best I can. SO what you can do is find a level of writing that is good for you, and others so that it does not make it seem like you are godmodding, or making decisions that would be influenced from an OOC standpoint. The only reason you should do something IC, is because something was done to your character IC.

(Forgive me for bringing you into this) [member="Mikhail Shorn"] and I, as a Writer, did not get along very well when we first started roleplaying because I took his posts too literally. I took it as a personal offence that his character was acting like a jerk to mine. However now I respect his writing style because his character, Shorn, is just that way. He is a person that will tell you to shove a saber up your rear, just as likely as he is to make a quip about you being an Idiot. However all of this, As far as it is to my knowledge, is IC. Not OOC. You also tend to take things too personal here. This site is a game. Meant to have fun. If someone comes to you in a thread and want's you dead, it's because they have a reason IC. Now if the came to you and said that OOC, then that is a whole different story.

[member="Nickolas Imura"] - I hear ya on everything and take note!

But have one issue with the whole perspectives thing. There are some people out there who write very matter-of-fact, and not in the context of an opinion, observation or quote. It'll just be "X is Y," rather than something such as or similar to "X seemed like Y." There's nothing that upsets me more than writing posts in such a seemingly demeaning way. You'll see me (or have seen, rather) me do this to a few people, usually in response or offense to the like; I guess I just picked it up (passive-aggression) as a bad habit and started doing it everywhere.

Thank you for the advice. I will remember all of that when writing posts from now on.

I don't deserve anything but thanks [member="Countess Xyhn"]

Since we're talking about point of views, I use 3rd person because the I and my get on my nerves but it may just be me. I probably will try it out though since you stated a good point. But in the end, everyone screws up and it takes a while to master the art of writing. [member="Nickolas Imura"]

Just keep in mind that everything you do here is imaginary.

Knowing that helps me keep away stress.
