[@BrokenPromise] As Junk has said, I think that criticism sounds alright to me. Besides, we are all here to learn to be better at roleplaying/writing on top of having fun with others. It's only when the comment becomes along the lines of "U SUCK kthxbai" for no apparent reason or constructive explanation given, then that person is an ass. As for the GM's comments on the character interactions, personally I think the GM has a point - the main difference in roleplaying as opposed to other types of writing is that you have to go out your way to interact with other players' characters. If you're going to just write posts of your own characters interacting with random NPCs that weren't created for such use (basically just doing your own plot or thing in other people's games without asking the GM), why don't you go write your own novel instead? I am guilty of "micromanagement" at times because I used to read a lot of murder mystery novels and have the habit to pick up details and contradictions that most people would normally glaze over, but sometimes it helps especially when you're supposed to do a "realistic" RP. It's not convincing if they are such awkward mistakes everywhere in the story, yeah. --- My school's starting tomorrow. How I wish Halloween is a holiday for me here...
