What kind of RP do you like/tolerate/hate ?

[Skaar]

People can be ressurrected from ash.

[Cressy]

Likes: Conflict, dark, training, romance (Lol. Yeah, I enjoy this stuff.), fighting...most anything actually.

Dislikes: Mindless

Death and Maiming: I dislike rp that involves killing without thought or care. I get there are 'chaotic' characters, but truelly chaotic characters wouldn't have a following or set of friends for fear they would die as well. And, I honestly think killing/maiming just 'because' is a dick thing to do.;c

Hur dur, hur dur.

[Clovis]

Likes: 'Good' RP. Pointless/Idle chatter. Combat-Adventure (Small or large party). Romance/Bromance. Investigation based. Voyeurism (ICly observing others actions) / Passive roleplay. (Sitting around) Non-fatal duels/spars. COMEDY. Religious.

Dislikes: Evil RP. Strict military themes. Competition based rps.

I'm ok with: Breaking the fourth wall.

Death and Maiming: No thanks. Only one of my characters has ever been killed, and I have never ICly killed another character - even when they OOCly request or are 'ok' with it. Personally? I'm all in favor of KO's/retreats/ect, in place of death and maining.

[Xigo]

Like: Most everything as long as it has a purpose! Heck, sometimes if it has no purpose, I still enjoy it! It could be fighting, chatting, travelling, sneaking, ERPing, killing, hugging, romantic, you name it! As long as my character has a place there, I'm good with it!

Dislike: Roll fights. I prefer trust. I generally avoid RP with people I know only roll fight (unless it's a big event or something, those can be heck with trust based systems). Perhaps that's wrong of me. But... I just really hate roll fighting. When every action must be determined by a die instead of both players knowing what their character can and cannot do.

I'm okay with: Just about everything!

Maiming and Death: I don't like maiming for the sake of maiming. If something comes off in a fight? Sure. But I dislike torture, and am uncertain as to whether or not I'd be able to properly portray a tortured character who's losing limbs. I'm not even sure if I had Castella RP'd properly during Loxxy's kidnapped event.

[ruwendje44]

Likes: Character developing RP, exploring RP, large group RP, Evil RP

Dislikes: Large scale Rp with rolls in it, they slow down the pace in RP as well as too much OOC talk in /raid /p.

I'm ok with: Romance RP although I try to keep that to a minimum. Tavren RP at times.

Maiming and deaths: This would only make it more realistic when in combat! So yes I am cool with that.

CW: I give them all the time, so giving them is nothing more than normal to me.

[ThePharaoh]

Likes: Story and Character Progression. -Combat RP-, Travel RP. I like putting characters in situations where they can control, change or effect their setting, convincing characters, Political RP. I like planned events, prefer natural evolution of RP. I really enjoy seeing other members of CoTH RP races that I don't want to RP ( or can't RP correctly ) accurately. I also like changing rp locations, unless the plot dictates otherwise. Then staying in the same spot can be just as fun.

Tolerate: I'll tolerate Tavern RP if there is a purpose for being there. Romance RP, if it's captivating and brings more to the char progression and isn't based purely on "Happily ever-after"-esque mentality. I'll tolerate trust fighting, if I know the person I'm fighting with.

Dislikes: I dislike stagnant RP, sitting around and just talking without moving the plot forward at all. ( sometimes it can be useful. Char development ) OOC chat clutter, when RP is getting interesting.

Killing/Maiming: I have no problem with it. It should happen more often. There should be a reason though.

[Jason]

Likes: Military, subversive group, science, magical science (yo), and the local, small time drama RP that is totally underrated. Epic battles with dragons < emotional and psychological conflict with your neighbors that may or may not lead to some degree of murder or manslaughter, or something to that effect. Also up there is romance RP. "But Jason, I never see you do teh romance rpz!" Well my friend, that is because I can name, oh, two people out of my two years of being here that have, to my knowledge, don't romance RP correctly. E.g. Not married in less than 3-4 months, with a race that makes no sense, and nothing in common. Just sayin'...

I also love hardcore, xenophobe, traditionalist elvenlands Night elf RP. I had a small niche of nothing but that on Prologue back in July or so. It was beautiful. Little do people know night elves are my favorite race. It saddens me, how prevelently they are thrown in with the "Blood elf" group. Neither do I have a problem with blood elves, just how they are portrayed by PC's most all of the time sometimes

Mages. I love mages. <3 The things you can do with magi...I mean, they aren't just limited to combat. There's a whole range of fun things you can do with a competent mage character, and so many opportunities therein.

TL;DR: REALISM AND MAGIC, BRO.

Dislikes: Gaudy lurve RP. I stated I like romance RP. Not Twlight/Anime RP. There's a difference. I also dislike RP that is done in a hasty, lazy fashion. I'm looking at you, Booty Bay! A particular RP attribute I dislike is the abuse of "technology" in the Warcraft setting, which I've seen a lot of lately. Other than that, not sure. Case by case basis.

I'm ok with: Paramilitary. It isn't great, but it can be alright sometimes. It just isn't the same as real military, though. I'm also alright with

Maiming and death: When appropriate, of course. Some people are psychopaths, some people aren't.

OOC Questions about my characters: Feed'em to me. I'm one of the mature ones who can answer them without slapping you in the mouth.


Mmmyep.

Jason like the night elves? And romance rp, I know none of this. You must come to my nelf event then. <.< That may come in the future.

Night elves have been my favorite race ever since I made my first character on retail a night elf druid some five years ago. : 3

Oh wow, do you even have one on CotH? Never seen you play an alliance char, actually.

I have an Alliance T-shirt, brah. No joke. Over half my characters are human, I've just fallen in with current Horde characters. Yar. And currently, I have only one night elf, due to a fact most any elf I would make would stay in Elven lands. I know, I know. Kretol's Signature. But still.

This character was a minor Emissary from Darnassus attempting to find night elves outside Elven lands and bring them home following the fall of the Lich King. He was met with horrid failure. Then he was enslaved and thrown into the arena, without any knowledge on how to fight. Fun stuff.

To stay on topic, this falls under one of my favorite situations of RP. No, not slave RP. Slave RP...generally just makes me cringe. Either it's done horribly right, making it a bit graphic for the average person, or its done modestly well (not all slaves were beaten half to death on a regular basis), and otherwise it's done terribly, with mounting so called "Stockholme Syndrome" which people have delusions of grandeur over.

The situation with Althras is deeply psychological as he shifts forcibly from a pacifist, kind-hearted diplomat and well-respected night elf to a fierce, violent pit fighter. The crossover is what I'm really looking forward to. Ever read "The Shining"?
