I swear in RL, but more IG. I've noticed myself swearing more after Arm sessions.

It's part of the game.  I don't mind it.  The only time I find it iffy is when people seem to be using vulgarity in an especially sexist or homophobic way.  I've definitely seen that happen in-game, and it just seems out of place in Zalanthas.

My wife doesn't even play she watches me play quite a bit. The other day she called me a Kank fucker  :cry: Forgot to mention she was pissed about something!

Heh, I was not aiming this at anyone in particular, by the way (mah clannies!).  Just something I've been thinking about for a long time.

Now, let me tell you about the time a good friend from college invited me to her ROTC party...  :shock:
The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong.
The heart is bold that looks on gold;
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.

Depends on the character...I've had some that swore frequently, some that swore only when drunk, or only when angry, and some that very fairly swear.  I hate using the 'f' word IC, and use Krath, or Fek far more.  I also have happily made up things depending on character history - Sands (usually used instead of the 's' word), Rat-fekker/kank-fekker...etc.  I prefer using made up words, keeps me more interested, uses more imagination, and adds to the character (or at least, I feel it does to my character!).  Not adverse to other people swearing like gypsies, its all part of the character!

My amount of real life swearing depends on the cultural mindset of those I am around at that particular moment.

My characters generally use profanity. 

My current character has a mouth spawned by a vile, swollen, cunt-lipped whore of a Nilazi mother.

Stop being some fucking pussies...

Swearing is alright..bitches.

I don't swear in real life, rarely at all. However, my characters never seem to have that big of a problem with it. I like mixing kank and Krath with different parts of real-world swears to make their Zalanthian counterparts. However, I'm sure that's how much people do it as well.

My personal views of profanity is that I can live without it, and an overabundance of it just turns me off...but you know..call it what you will, there are times when nothing seems to suit the situation better than a good swear word.

Maybe that's the "beauty" of a well placed expletive.  Or it could mean that I'm just not smart enough to come up with something more eloquent.

IG, my characters tend towards the more Zalanthan curses.  "Fek" "Feck" "Krath", and such, are staple words for them.

..and I catch myself using feck quite often, outside of the game..thankfully not around anyone who's good opinion of me is valuable to my ego and social well being.

I don't curse a lot in real life, usually.
But my current char IG is pretty rough and tumble so he does.

One of my favorites is 'fekk'. The extra 'k' just gives it something extra.

Swearing does not work to shock people in a world like Zalanthas.
The best way to shock people in Zalanthas is to give them the warm, fuzzy, smiley, love treatment.

They will typically gape at you in horrified astonishment before you spill their blood all over the desert sand in pretty, haunting patterns.

Yep.... Seems that way.

On another note. My next character will be a living incarnation of this video.

Bynner's would have a very limited vocabulary indeed. In fact most my Byn Pcs pretty much only say one word per sentence that isn't a profanity, and that's usually "Gaj", and on the odd occasion "stew".

It depends. I swear less than I used to IRL. One of my favorite characters swore like a drunken pirate, and another rarely let slip with the mildest of profanities. Most of them are somewhere in between, and I feel absolutely no shame at letting loose with a phrase peppered with enough 'fucks' to satisfy a harem. Armageddon is an adult game that should be rated n-17 for sex, violence, and adult language.

I need profanity to fit in.

Arm is evil.  And I love it.  It's like the softest, cuddliest, happy smelling teddy bear in the world, except it is stuffed with meth needles that inject you everytime

I swear a bit in Zalanthas (like the cool kids) but never in RL. I only flip the bird to my webcam to prove a point.

Feck, Krath, sands etc are just so fun to use, and much more stylish than the stupid real world profanity.
