Alright, so everyone is a pro RPer, well done.
BUT(T) there's only one little thing that really grinds my gears.
Would Would WOULD WOULD WOULD
WOULD YOU.... kindly stop with using it improperly.
using me's and do's containing the word would out of context should be shot.
Now why am I making a fuss out of this?
It's fairly simple. If you were to say "Mittell would be an asshole" it gives you an option. Either you approve or disapprove.
"You would see someone getting shot" allows EVERYONE to deny that it happened. I saw someone getting shot or I didn't see someone getting shot
But.... powergaming...
recently I saw something as a weather script with the following:
[Weather] the weather would be hot and dry.
Now this is "OH HELL WRONG" because this is the biggest developed grammatical error I've seen. And I know that I myself has made a lot of grammatical errors back in the day.
What this SHOULD be is the following:
"[Weather] It is sunny and the temperature is 'x' degrees centigrade/fahrenheit" (whatever the world or america uses)
This also applies to your roleplay
instead of typing "You would see a wound on Noob's arm" type sometihng like this: "There is a wound on Noobs left arm and is bleeding."
But stop adding WOULD every Mittells time! I've seen LOTS of RPers using WOULD every....fuckin'...time. Every /me or every /do would would would all over.
Now my rant is over
cheers,
Mittell
