Philistines: The inability to RP
I took a break from roleplaying on the forums to focus on Skype rps and my art. So far, my efforts in the two endeavours are proving to be all for naught.
Whenever I role-play with someone on skype, I expect a certain amount of creativity or thought put into responses. Instead I get:
"*Flare grunts*" or "*Flare trots over there*"
As a novelist, screen-play writer, and educated dragon, I detest these responses. I feel like you should put more effort into an rp. Especially if its with someone you said you liked a lot. I understand most people can not pull together enough brain power to conjure up a proper response, but at least try to.
An RP is better if you can actually imagine it happening, or if its so well written that you can feel what the oc's feel. This might sound like investing a lot of time into something that you feel shouldnt matter, but you have to ask yourself: Do I want to be good, or be known as the member/user who does not comprehend grammar?
If you're gonna role-play, the least you can do is fine tune your responses. Add more words, describe how your oc is feeling or what they are doing in depth.
If we role-play on skype, and your response is:
/me follows OR /me yelps
Im gonna assume you are stupid, and lazy.
