It took me a year to finally figure out what "decaf" meant.

_{I actually once thought that it was some classy dentistry term. ^^;}

Sum up your week in roleplaying in just 3 words

Epic psychological collab.

@Carantathraiel Ah, you make me feel like quitting caffeine too. I had too much during the sem break that now I had to re-adjust my sleep schedule. Plus, too much writing actually burned my brain this time too, lol.

Well, I had a literal but good writing marathon over the vacation... I'm not gonna try that ever again, though.

M&Ms! I love it!
*tries to catch 'em all with the largest basket I can find at home*

Of course we're all mature people here having a civil talk about how US isn't as horrible as the media has been showing to the public. ;)

@BrokenPromise Well, all I can say is: in any place we go, we will definitely meet different people with a multitude of personality types - some pleasant and helpful, some straightforward and blunt, some just plain rude. We just have to take those hostile ones with a pinch of salt, and try not to go head on with them to avoid making the situation even worse. For me, unless my patience is running dangerously low, I just ignore those trying to rile me and focus on the more constructive things, rather than wasting my time to stoke their horrible ego.

In a way, this forum has thickened my skin so much that lately I need to file down that thickness before I go back to school. XD I don't want to get into some dumb trouble for accidentally swearing excessively in class.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity Thank you for sharing your insight on how the US media portrays shootouts between the law enforcers and the civilians, which is very helpful to help me better understand the topic, especially from the perspective of the people who are living there. I am now certain that my local media reports on the shooting incidents are mostly copying-and-pasting from the US media rather than actually reporting from an objective viewpoint. Which is ironic, since Singapore often prides itself in many things including the media striving to be the best informative source for us, but it's no different from the US media where it's used as a tool to show things that would benefit the media rather than the people.

@BrokenPromise You do have a point, that one person and/or the GM to point that out was enough, and they should give the player in question a chance to respond (whether to take the criticism to heart or to defend themselves) before going further. Otherwise it does give off the impression that the other players were "ganging up" on that person...

Well, I'm not in that RP, and personally I'm used to getting harsh criticisms (I got loads of it in the past that had greatly helped me to improve my writing), so I can't really say much for the targeted player in that RP. It's up to them to sort that out among themselves, not for us outsiders to butt in.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity A lot of media agencies out there have never been reliable or that truthful, merely as a tool for propaganda or as pure entertainment rather than being actually informative. Regarding the safety issues and such in US, I have never been there and all that I know about US are from the media or third party sources, so it is difficult for me to really pursue this topic on my own accord. However, I am open to hear about personal experiences the people who are living there are going through - also, US is a big country with 50 states and many cities and whatnot, which probably contribute to a more diversified picture of gun, racial, and other social issues in US.

@tsukune Ooh I've been to Singapore before. Wonderful place ^-^

Having no crimes is a good thing, though, because you get to laugh at other countries' stupidity. And you get to wander outside in the middle of the night without worrying if you will get shot. People say Canada (where I live) is safe, too, but there's some scary stuff that happens here O.O

@Alisma

Doesn't matter how much I laugh at other countries' stupidity. To them, crime is exciting and cool compared to the safe and boring life I have here... And if they get shot, they are forever stuck in that blissful nightmare and never wake up ever again. /shrugs

I won't say there's no crime here - just very low and nothing crazy as those racial shooting incidents in US recently. (There's no such thing as zero crime anywhere in the world.)

While there are some things I don't like about Singapore (da weather), to be really honest it's better off living here than other parts of Asia like Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, etc. Besides being safe, it's a small country so going to places is more accessible than big countries with convoluted transport services and spending an hour on the road just to get something... when for us everything we need is just a minute walk away. XD

One Sentance Story

"Get this shit out of my spam."

That was the first thing that spat out of Barnaby's mouth when he woke up, and then he was aware of how much his mouth stank of booze, vomit... and something more that he didn't want to know what it was.

RPer Appreciation Thread

I know I've said this in my bio but I have to say it again: @Estylwen is like my long-lost writing sister. The way we can finish our collabs together with so much ease and chemistry even with how our timezone difference is keeping us far apart... I have a lot of fun writing with her - I like how we can just take turns to take charge of the development so naturally, and how our writing just flow so seamlessly together.
