    Yes, RPing is okay. I thought that was implied by my rule. Use discretion though, as I'm sure many of the players won't know half of what you are talking about.

    I promise I won't roleplay anymore than is absolutely necessary.

    Just like I did in Gehenna.

    Y'know, I'm going to stand up and say that this trend of RP in phalla really is beginning to bother me.

    I mean, it's a game. Not an RPG. Ranting about the the enemy in a flavorful fashion is one thing, and I do it all the time. Talking about walking around is another.

    Also, games that are labelled Phallas but are clearly not also bother me. (Phallout and zombie Phallanston, I am looking at you. Funny how I went inactive in both, huh?)

    Basically I'm grumpy and am complaining but seriously. Can we keep variety in our games? We have a wide array of gaming options available besides phalla, and certain things belong in them and not in here.

    Are you serious? It's a fucking game. Let people have fun how they want as long as it isn't hurting anyone.

    No one is making you play in these.

    It hurts me, that's why I brought it up. I know a couple of people who also have been frustrated with it, and have withdrawn from a couple of games because of it. Nobody is making us play, but I like classic phalla.
    Seriously. I'm stating an opinion here, and it's not going to change anything, but I'm getting rather bothered by it, and why should I remain quiet when they don't?

    So run a Classic Phalla.

    There's joking around in the theme of the game, and then there's multiple-paragraph posts that add nothing to the game.

    And generally that joking around is reserved for day 1 and after results, doesn't take up a full screen per post, and is generally attempts to throw out red herrings or grab a few laughs.. Epic Reveals also tend to be vaguely roleplayish, as you shout out something. But come on, there's a big difference there.

    Also, I'm working on a phalla. It shall be great.

    EDIT: I think I am going to call this argument here. I said what I wanted to say. Feel free to say what you want to say but I'm not going to prolong a war in someone's game thread.

    Eh.

    I can see where you're coming from Rainy.

    But, right now, this is the only even remote chance of RP that I get.

    So, yeah.

    I"m gonna play the game, and also RP a bit.

    If you really want to bust balls. We are just playing Mafia. and fucking up all the rules.

    Critical Failures is a Role Playing Forum. Being able to play a game that you can choose to RP or not is fucking huge.

    It's a choice.
    You just have to deal if you don't like it.

    Not to be mean, but there are lot of games where RPing is retarded. Will I bitch about it, no.

    It's all about what the host wants from his/her game.

    This is a phalla, not Shadowrun. I think you'll be fine.

    I can understand not caring about getting a little bit of light entertaining RP done in Phalla. I don't understand at all the direct hatred for the idea. But then, I guess I came into Phalla too late to take it seriously at all. It's entertainment, not much more.

    Then again, I'm not especially good at it, and I never have been, so I'm just here to... well... enjoy it.

    I'm sorry that offends you, Rainy. But not quite sorry enough to stop.

    I generally dislike having to sift through boring RP to get to the meat of the discussion. The things have always been about the mechanics, not the flavor. The flavor is flavor.

    Hell, I often don't read narrations until I feel like it, if I ever get around to it.

    As a Phalla host, I have to say no. But you do have to warn people if it's a phalla or not.

    Other then that, sign up at you own risk

    Edit - Elendil doesn't read the narration. So, so choke you.

    I'm not trying to be nasty or belabor the point. All I'm saying is that the things you and Rainfall hate are why I enjoy Phallas. Without them, Phalla wouldn't be half as entertaining to me. If your opinion were more universal, I'd quietly bow out of Phalla and leave it alone; luckily for me, people who don't mind it so much are common enough that I can still play, enjoy the game, and entertain myself and others.

    I'm not being sarcastic when I say I'm sorry it annoys you. That's not me trying to be nasty. I mean it. I am sorry it annoys you. But unless it annoys enough of you that I can't find a niche in these games, I probably won't stop doing it.
