Honestly, it's just things that I've noticed that bother me too much to let them sit.
I. Role-Playing.
A). Actions.
When you designate an action for your character, it must take place *within two asterisks*, --or something else like it--. There does not need to be a period after the asterisks unless the Role-Play is narrative-driven.
Also, separate actions need to take place between the two asterisks with a semicolon connecting them; *[Subject] does 'X'**And also 'X'* just looks sloppy, and a semicolon can clean up anything if used correctly.
B). Character Sheets.
Let me preach.
Character sheets are awesome, Larkama, Galas' sacrifice, ad eternium. Just use them, because they set out basic parameters and artificially the powers of godmodes.
C). Property of Thought- Who Even Owns Role-Plays?
No-one. Unless, of course, you only role-play with yourself. Other people actually build upon the idea and, while it is -a-n-n-o-y-i-n-g- to see the exact same crap floating around, if we're going to go into who actually has possession of Role-Playing ideas, the simple answer is no-one.
II. Characterisation.
A). Psychology.
For the amor of Galas, -please- do not make another psychopath, or whatever. I'm really just ranting here. If it comes down to it, do the bloody research if you are unaware of how a different psychological limitation/retardation/et cetera would play out in real life. There is no excuse for misrepresentation of a psychological outlook except sloth.
B). Emotocons.
Not in character. There is no reason for not saying that *your character smiled* correctly, which is to say, in asterisks or the like. Emotocons are lazy and it makes the Role-Play very sloppy and unintelligible from the OOC chat.
III. Behaviour.
A). The Obvious.
Autistic social retardation is just social retardation, not stupidity. The Autistic are a great many geniuses who only happen to be inept at certain functions of society (personal o espaço issues for others, language limitations, other social standards), and portraying them as idiots as a cover for your own idiocy and incompetence is not okay.
B). Respond Well to Correction.
If someone corrects you, it does not mean that you are stupid.
If you yell at someone for correcting you, there is a simple- yet telling- proof of your own intolerance and superego. Shut up and take it if you're really all that smart.
Anyway, I wanted to vent. It's a free Internet (mostly).
