Is There Such a Thing as a "Good" RP?

@Ebonsquire But their is quality differences and talent differences in music. And all media. Yes, you can like anything and people that tell you that you can't are in fact dumbasses. But can you really listen to two songs, and not figure out which one would be harder to produce and require more talent to make?

Start with movies, I mean people watch sharknado...and enjoy sharknado, but can you not admit, it's no citizen kane?

Same with music, I like Hollywood Undead but will I say their equally as talented as say Soilwork? Hell no.

Saying their is no way to tell what's objectively better, is not entirely accurate. But yes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and yes art is mostly subjective.

@VilageidiotxWell I'd prefer it be about neither. But as I said, I don't want any animosity either. Not worth it. Sorry if I upset you at all. Though I think we got as far as we really can. Because we randomally started discussing canada, and that literally started from nowhere. And we just happen to have quite different opinions, of things even non-policy related like how to properly debate. I think agreeing to disagree and ending it would be best. :P

@Vilageidiotx Well what you said was wrong and misleading, but I apologize for being direct about it. I tried to add an emoticon to express sarcasm. But I guess it was missed. <.<

People are too stupid to take care of themselves. You stupid right? Let me take that pesky internet from you, you can get harassed on it. To keep my sarcasm short. The idea is stupid. <.<

Is There Such a Thing as a "Good" RP?

Because I should be bed by now. I'll write my shorter two cents. XP

Yes. Personally I can judge good RP's vs bad RP's, to things I've been in personally, or to just looking at them without context. Though the factors of what make them good differ drastically if it's something I'm personally apart of or not. It's just a different form of writing, it can be artful, fun, or terrible depending on all the pieces involved. And it actually has more factors than just how the writing is. I've been in RP's were the writing was fine and the plot moved fast enough, it probably would be remotely enjoyable to read. But the way people got along, and how certain actions transpired, I wouldn't call it a 'Good' RP.

* I believe not all that is done is automatically art. But some can very well be, yes.
* Don't understand. I suppose my question, is a book less artful than a movie? I know opinions would be far different depending on who you asked. Those people that believe the book is always better than the movie. I mean most screen plays or movie scripts are technically written by more than one person. I know some people edit RP's they do and make them into books. I think it's the writing equivalent of gaming. It's more of an interactive medium. Can games be art? Are they less art than movies?
* I mean it can be personal, and usually is, but not everything is an opinion. Yes something's CAN be better by fact. Games for instance, smooth and high frame rate is something that cannot be argued. For role playing, writing capabilities of the group would probably be a noticeable factor.
* I suppose it's good to finish something before you judge it critically. And good RP's do know how to end, and usually do have an ending point set in their heads.
* Well not all RP's on websites have this exact thing, so this is specific for this site. But I will say, good role players. (vs good RP's help.) Do matter in making an RP a good experience. So people who can write just fine, but are incredible inactive or slow or rude or bitchy about unimportant details. A good RP it doesn't make. I don't think writing more/advanced automatically equals better. If that's the question. Since RP's are suppose to be interactive, overly long posts can make your pacing drag on tremendously. I'd call it the equivalent of having cut scenes in your game. Some is fine, but too much ruins the whole interactive thing.

Cool, I'm still interested, will be busy-ish until sunday. I will probably post a CS by then. :3

@Sen Canada 35 mil people, USA has 318 mil. 9 times the population, just a rough assumption. It's likely going to be that in cost, OR even higher for the middle class/upper middle class, since a lot of the population doesn't pay taxes. I never meant to start a conversation with Canada anyway. I'd think I'd rather live there solely because everyone I've meant there is a nice human being. But I just find people here trying to say your healthcare is 'super free', is kind of insulting because how you guys kind of get the shaft. At least from what I've heard from my friends there.

Okay I lied posting TM, because I got sick as shit today and need to go to bed early to go to the hospital. (not related.) >.<

@Shiny Keldeo Understood, what I meant by pacing, is how 96 pretty long posts have gone by and most people haven't gotten to anywhere significant yet. Not complaining, (or trying to anyway.) I just figured most people would be at least on the same page. XP

@Vilageidiotx It wasn't the youtube videos that you mentioned. It was literally anything. Don't go lying now. X3 And salty? Are you sure your not secretly just being a very very bored troll? :P One step up from 'u mad bro?'

One of your posts, was a straw man argument about evil bigmart polluting the lake...and a WAY too long thing about trickle down economics (something that doesn't exist.) There is a reason, I posted links because I'm aware some people MIGHT know more about things than I do. And your feeding me a lot of b.s quite honestly...People that debate positions do not just look up every piece of evidence by themselves without siting sources, or providing more evidence. XP (or one step further. Doesn't do any damn research at all.)

I wasn't even bringing up Canada to say, they want privatization, I literally don't know how that started...>.> Which is why I said your stats meant nothing. Also it's not an overblown argument, people actually believe that by a depressingly large margin.

Also, at this point I swear your provoking so I keep this boring conversation up. -.-

Also, are you bringing up the average person pays 8,000 as negative thing? Or that it is actually not the case? I assume the former since your saying "We pay TWICE as much." Well under their system we'd be paying a lot more than that...just by average population. Because an absurd amount of people pay no real taxes, which may be another underline reason, why we have a larger bill. But as I already said, and won't get into it any farther because this is just pointless. I agree to disagree, on socialized medicine.

@Sen Based on my last link, Ontario Canada's healthcare is 50% percent of their budget...yeah it costs A LOT of money. Healthcare costs a shit load of money. It's just someone else paying for someone else...Well another problem is 47% of america doesn't pay any income tax...and our country is much, MUCH larger in population. And our bigger population does in fact make it a lot harder to make socialize medicine work. (35 to 318 million) So if the average is about 4k, just comparing to our population, our average would pay 36,000 a year. (9 times the population) Sound cheap? (that's just one way it's a bit different.) Also according to this is cost the average family 11 thousands...doesn't sound too cheap to me. ($141 billion on health care for Canada a year.)

The other link had something with Canada's healthcare system, he was born in Canada. And yes, America goes for check up's, even when they feel fine. Precisely why America has the best cancer prevention by a very large margin. A lot of illnesses screw you up, long before you feel any actual symptoms. But I digress.
