@Lalliman lol, I've never seen that myself except in silly anime-like RP's where it honestly makes more sense, but yeah if you're going for a realistic RP you should take care to show, not tell, how smart your character is.

Which is why I honestly believe that you have to be a genius to play a genius. And part of that might be having a lot of knowledge about a given topic.

It's easy to downscale knowledge (anyone can play a dumbass that knows nothing), but it's very very hard to upscale knowledge (you can't know what you can't understand) and thus it's hard to play a character that is 'above you' so to speak.

This post brightened my day.


Am I wrong though. Whenever people play a supposed genius they just meta-game the shit out of everything to make the character seem smart.
I honestly think the biggest problem a majority of the roleplayers on this site face is that they can't grasp "Show, don't tell."

Examples I have seen recently;

"Gosh! My character is so smart and clever, even though I've done nothing to suggest that!"

"My character's a reeeeeal edgy dick, lemme just have him sulk in a corner instead of taking a perfect opportunity for him to be an asshole!"


It takes a genius to play a genius accurately, but anyone can play a dumbass.

Doesn't even account for the fact that making a new account is easy as piss. From a ''perp'' perspective even the current measures are futile.

One reason why putting Descriptions on why people are banned is that it encourages negative discussion about someone behind their backs where they are unable to defend themselves. That's why I say it's abusable more than the feature itself. I don't believe that sort of discussion is edifying to a community. @Mr Allen J


I think the fact that you had to be forcibly removed from an RP by matter of a ban already kind of is shaming enough. Letting a GM add a description to detail the offense won't change that.

Besides, the description wouldn't be 20 paragraphs, it'd be like a sentence max?

@Sherlock Holmes your image is borked, friend.

The banlist has to be the best and most innovative feature thus far.

While I do think the banlist needs to be much higher (or infinite), I can at least have my entire blacklist banned at once!


don't bother putting me on, i'd never join your RP's anyway

@Mahz do they cancel out or do they just remain banned?

Also not wholly unimportant, what happens if I ban my co-GM's without removing them from the co-GM tag?
