The entire point here was that someone insinuated my specific style of wordplay was too much, and I disagree. It is nowhere near the top line of acceptable and hardly hurts interaction. The onlu conflict here came from some time ago when someone had no method of combating the content of my statements, so they attacked my method of communication. Edit: I'm actually home now and on a computer instead of my phone. [indent]You called something a valid point of criticism, and I'll reference it. [i]"I'd argue that because an RP is primarily interactive, making sure people can easily pick up on the interactive elements in your posts is beneficial for all parties"[/i] is the exact line and it is most accurately in reference to a line of mine: [i]" Recently, I have been scrutinized for my flowery writing style. So what? I'm still grammatically correct and there is a huge crowd that would rather read well-constructed, flowery sentences than dull, neutral descriptions or statements."[/i] The direct connection would be if my flowery writing style was a detriment to the communicated interaction within my [IC] posts, but that was never the topic at hand. The topic, most accurately, was on criticism itself, most specifically when criticism is acceptable, when it is rude and the etiquette involved. Never has anyone criticized my [IC] posts as too flowery, lengthy or otherwise overly wrote-out, thus your argument is (a) true in some cases and (b) inapplicable in mine. I was not using an [IC] critique as an example of a rude, unneeded and/or unwanted one; I was using one made in regards to my debate style, which is an entirely different topic. I believe that firmly is the conflict we are having. Additionally, my point that this is all about preference is solely that some people prefer to have their obvious level of interaction, then go on superfluously writing for their character, actions, surrounding events, etc. because they find such enjoyable. It is, technically, unneeded information and at times can be a detriment to most normal roleplay, but I again emphasize the preference here. I also know roleplayers that swear by one-line roleplay on World of Warcraft, playing SotDRP and Vuen's DnD on Warcraft III, similar roleplaying on Neverwinter Knights, so on and so forth. Any time that wordplay is made a part of roleplay, those who choose to partake in such over other forms do so because they enjoy it more and it really is fairly ignorant to deny that one-liners in an MMORPG are devoid of their literary value. If the low-ends of literary architecture can have their niche, so can the high-ends for the sake of fairness; I at times find myself capable of enjoying either end of such spectrum. Thus, I reiterate that there is a large diversity of roleplaying preferences and even those here that might consider themselves experts are most likely novices in another field.[/indent]
