I've noticed a trend . . .

[Fujikoma]

Why exactly is typing his rather than ^me or whatever bad? Surely the only person to notice is the one doing the typing?

It's not necessarily bad, I don't think, it's just each time is me missing an opportunity to familiarize myself with the options available to me.

Before I played a noble I used to use her/she/blah/blah/blah for my own character, feels different now that I use the right symbols. I can't tell if someone is using his/her for their own character, it's the hers/his when it should be directed at YOU that I really dislike.

Surely not necessarily.

[boog]

This is just K's gentle way of saying, 'Quit being assholes!'.

He's not so wrong. Maybe just a bit too polite for his point to come across!

[TheWanderer]

Stop being polite, asshole! What are we? Canadians?

The nerve of all that politeness.

[Kryos]

A little box on the ears wouldn't be so bad, but, it is a bit more than that.  I really do suspect there's a natural antagonism between styles of play, and wanted to get folk's opinion on what's good/bad/annoying.  And, if its true that there's natural antagonism it leads to interesting questions, if, like me, you suspect a wide breadth of styles are what makes a good cast of players.

I really don't let little things bother me anymore. Gross misinterpretations of docs bug me, but I try hard to curb this behavior in game; whores are okay, you shouldn't gossip about them, so, my character will ask the offender what exactly is wrong with earning a living, that sorta thing.

We're all here to have fun. Things might grate on us, but if we don't let little things go, we might as well just play with our frigging selves.

boog bugs me.
That is all.

Also, since I've been accused of being polite and unamerican . . .

Wait. Wait. Wait.

He's Captain Puerto Rico, not Captain Alberta!

Also it looks weird. 'The tall, muscular man holds your candle in one hand.'

CAPTAIN CANADA!!!

[MeTekillot]

You were born July 4, 1920?

[BleakOne]

90 years old and playing Armageddon.

Wewt.   

[Delirium]

Can I have your autograph?

[Patuk]

Fucking breeds. Nobody lives that long.

[EldritchOrigins]

Captain Canadia is already a thing, a guy on this board actually.  He's kind of cool, lets no go replacing him for a younger, more hip (if that's even possible) version.  But you we could have like an evil version that's just as nice because he's Canadian.

[Zoan]

Nono Eldritch, Captain Canadia was frozen in ice so he could fight the modern-day Quebec-Hydra - he's still the same age.

[MeTekillot]

oh damn it you got me

[Clavis]

these are just a couple of things that annoy me I'm not sure if there a style or not.

One thing is that they have a beautiful outward seeming pc, yet there's no depth to them. Single word replies, no emotes, and makes it hard for me to rp with them, or to keep up rp'ing with them.

People always hunting, or going out to raise skills, mudsex, and yet not seeking to get to know more about your pc, his likes, dislikes. Why he is the way he/she is, wtf  does that tattoo mean if at all anything. yadda yadda.

and yeah people want to slap me for my spelling, grammar an some other things I'm sure. (staff at the top of that list) I'm sorry I'm working on improving I am!

Also there's those that put up a ton of things in emotes, that make some feel overwhelmed, least from what I've been told at times.

Not sure if this is what your wanting but hey, it's what I took it as.

[Fujikoma]

yeah beautiful PCs... Forget those, find an ugly one, those are the best.

[Clavis]

ugly ones will never leave you!

[Desertman]

I haven't found any one "playstyle" I find to be annoying really.

Even if I dislike someone, or my character dislikes them, so long as they are playing the role "well", I totally appreciate what they are doing. People who antagonize my characters, even if it makes their life hard, are a major reason I play this game. Keep giving my grief. Having enemies is one of the major draws to Armageddon.

With that being said, I guess the only thing I hate to see is people intentionally using "coded" language in their IC conversations.

I can see why it is done sometimes. Especially in situations with newbies when you are trying to teach them without going "OOC, use the assist command.".

It still really annoys me though. I know it is a necessary evil. But so annoying.

I did see one guy actually say something like this once, "You should fail a few times and then wait a few hours and try again. You will learn better.", or something so obviously geared towards twinking the coded system for skill advancement I wanted to rip my eyeballs out.

There is a difference between trying to help newbies and teaching them poor roleplay habits. This is a poor roleplay habit.

Also, please stop using words like, "Sup", "Cool", "Dude", "For reals", and "Uber" in game. You aren't surfers, hip hop artists, or The Fresh Prince of Balaire. Stop talking like it in Armageddon.

[QuillDipper]

I've been guilty of using cool several times (which I've stopped) and using dude (yeehaw cowboys).

[Clavis]

I've noticed a trend of older arm players, using the term loosely on suspecting twinkery over things that make sense, may be part of something else, or just what someone thinks. Then coming to the gdb to say something about it.

I did see one guy actually say something like this once, "You should fail a few times and then wait a few hours and try again. You will learn better.", or something so obviously geared towards twinking the coded system for skill advancement I wanted to rip my eyeballs out.

Using this as just one example. Say something like 'you should fail a few times and then wait a few hours and try again, you will learn better'  Was it obviously geared towards twinking? Have you never just had to stop what you kept messing up, to think about what you where doing wrong to get it right? Never had to think for an hour go over what all you done, before  a little lightbulb popped up over your head, and your like shit I did this instead of doing that. So you try again, get it a bit closer, and come to the point where you need to step back and say 'Fuck, I need to think about this again.' Each time you stop and think, go over what you did, and find out what you did wrong, and improve it you got better. This could quite easily have been what they where talking about. Maybe they don't use whatever skill every rl day, or where working with the person they said that to help give them more reason to use thinks, hemotes, phemotes, or even emotes. Maybe they got tired of watching spam crafting fails and where hinting at the person to knock it the fuck off, and quit wasting materials so willy nilly.

Just because people may say or do something once or twice, a rl day, or even week one person walks in on it and jumps up to ask if it's twinking. There are a lot more variables behind what others do then just to abuse some game skill set, when the end result is usually the same, the mantis head. As players even those that have been here since the Mantis first crept on screen to tell welcome you to Arm, until it crept up on scream laughing cause you got killed, can't see that it shouldn't show up here on the GDB as twinkery, but if you believe it as some form of abuse should be sent to staff so they can watch, pull up a background and look to see if something like that is mentioned. Then talked over between staff and the player, instead of putting it up here on the GDB.

This is perhaps one of my main pet peeves about the ARM community, and why I very nearly didn't return on my last haitus. I don't feel every single action ONE other player walks in on should warrant an 'older' considering it poor roleplay, the FIRST time they walk in on it. It is though a piss poor showing of arm players that they believe so negatively about other players, that one thing that can be abused, and may not be being abused, is so readily jumped upon. When it is those very same players that spar for weeks, and days on end with no signs of strains, go out and take on massive creatures that should be able to kill them with one hit but don't, go back to which ever tavern and drink all night to rinse and repeat the cycle. and don't believe they may in fact be doing some twinking, or bad roleplay themselves.

modified to add cause comp decided to be a douchie bag: I've seen a lot of great rp, and rp'ers on arm, very rarely do I actually voice my opinion on the gdb, because I don't know the background of a player, and it's not for me to judge off of just one, or two incidents, especially when I don't know the other character. No I'm not just jumping down Desertman for this one comment it's been many comments, and thanks to an annoying ass irl I don't have the time right now to look up each and everyone. Now I'm going to hop of my soap box, throw my hat on the wind vane and get off here.
