I just plain don't get why board section rivalry is a thing. I mostly hang out in the FG and RTD sections, but I still play DF and fiddle around with minor modding to add races I'm interested in playing or mechanics that I think would be fun. ((Ever make the boiling point of blood 1 degree?))

Elitism is fun.

To be fair, there is a lot of awful stuff in FGRP, but maybe that's just my elitism talking.

Does it really count as RP if most of the players are either using unabashed self-inserts or vehicles for their fetishes? :^)

I thought that was the definition?

That comes under the aforementioned "awful stuff".

[Bouchart]

If that isn't role-playing then what is it?

As far as i cna tell people either RP as someone they are not or... well a self insert. The latter being naturally amplified to be sexier, smarter, stronger and whatever else.
Also of course you have the kind of RP you can find on sites like f-list... but... those things boggle my mind and it's not something you'd speak about openly.

Much of the RP on bay12 is self-inserts, mary sues, etc etc, just plain odd or ridiculous, or catgirls. As far as I can tell.

At least there are no Chakats around, as far as I can tell.

Given that even the local bronies swear by armok and mod unnecessarily-difficult succession games, it's not hard to understand. Thank all the gods.

Well, that's kinda... tautological, isn't it?

Yes & no. My spelling used to be pretty good back when I was writing regularly with pen & paper. These days I don't write, it's either typing on a phone or computer & my spelling is atrocious (for instance I just wrote "writting" & "atroscious"). The fact that I don't have to write in a professional (ug. proffessional) or academic setting, likely makes a difference too.

Hehehe. My spelling improved dramatically once I started mostly typing. S'a lot easier to see and correct errors for me with a computer, and most of the errors these days are just finger fumbling (or intentional) rather than actually not knowing what the zog I'm spelling. Considering I was at one point diagnosed as learning disabled in spelling (and writing, for what it's worth), it's been a helluva' change. Typing saved my english/communication grades

Well, typing, online gaming, and fanfiction. Counter to what many would probably say would be the likely results of that combination, I blame the three for the majority of my gains in regards to written (and spoken, to a degree) communication over the years. Practice with intent towards accuracy/effectiveness and exposure to a massive amount of examples of both good and bad go a long, looooong way.

Though to the generational thing... no. Not so much. Seems to vary just based on non-age stuff -- hobbies/work activities, educational background (with most definitely no bias towards the older generations, ahaha, or if there is, the cognitive degeneration that comes with age offsets it), etc. Person to person thing rather than something you can meaningfully generalize out to a generational group. Sorta' helps on that front that most folks seem to be honestly kinda' shitty at spelling :V

Yes but there is a slight difference between "Me but better." and "Someone better than me."

[GiglameshDespair]

At least there are no Chakats around, as far as I can tell.

There have been things that come close, to be honest, down to being hermaphroditic furry abominations.
They were pretty terrible.

Hardcore vore doe never fails to crank me up.

Although I am unaware of the actual thing arising, I may or may not know of exactly what you're talking about.
No, I don't play them, because they're boring, but I may or may not have peacefully coexisted in a forum game with them.
then again, I have several characters that would fall under the category of odd, which requires a high level of openness in character creation for me to field them. So... yeah. I admit I can be found in the land of weird a lot of the time.
