There have been a lot of complaints lately about the state of roleplaying in CF...the solution is simple: You need to RP as well.

If someone says 'how many hps do you have?' ask them what they mean. Keep asking them what they mean until they phrase it in a suitable form. They will either catch on or get sick of it and leave. When you are RPing well, people will notice, and they will feel stupid for NOT RPing. This is why people like Istendil and Thror were so special.

Good RPing rubs off on those around you.

  - True, but calling levelling "levelling" in the game is bad RP. Agreed? n/t Defiler 07:43:27 10/13/99 (11)
    - No. Again, it is RolePlaying, not RoleSpeaking (text) Pug 08:25:23 10/13/99 (9)

        Read carefully. There is NO CONCEPT of levels in RL. Pendragon_Surtr's sarcasm missed you. N/T Pug 02:56:59 10/14/99 (0)

        I'm not. But if the guy at the store told me to gain a few _levels_ before I could buy the six-pack, I'd probably know what level I was...(n/t) Entragin 15:00:55 10/13/99 (1)

Just asking "Huh" does not make good roleplay, might even be the opposite. Lucian(VIP) 17:20:32 10/12/99 (2)
