Also, just in case you don’t actually want to take up the people who are really offering you free BP if you want a role-playing alt and at least one mod will vouch that they’re not pedos who want “special pics” of you or anything – if you really don’t like your clbum and are willing to start from scratch, send a TM to me. I can ban your current character, and put as the reason that you requested a new character, and then you can start the game over free from worries about illegal multi-ing. You won’t be able to choose the same name, but other than that, there’s no cost.

I barely touch my alt (only that one time in it’s special place)... but probably cause it’s a cheat character. It’s got like 31 visits left. Things will pick back up.

Here’s the essential problem with the emo/camwhore vs. troll dynamic — emos and camwhores are self-obsessed, while trolls are other-obsessed. There is rarely a true conversation between emos or between camwhores, because by their very natures, they can’t see beyond their own noses. Trolls see only others, and shy away from anything that might reflect upon their true selves. Emos and camwhores are complete within themselves, while trolls are only complete when they interact with others of any clbum. Re-res, as they’re typically played, have nothing intelligent to say and cannot converse with others or they lose their “re-re” identity.

That is why role-playing as a generic emo or camwhore or re-re is boring. It really does help to create a character, with a history and a projected character arc.

Level 35 Camwhore

Oh whoops, I dropped my monster condom that I use for my magnum dong

I think one of the big issues with Camwhore RP is that it’s funner for females than us guys. Camwhores are all about posting their mammary glands on their MySpace and Facebook profiles, but we guys don’t really have the…bumets to do this.

I there are some things you can do, such as RP as a celebrity, but otherwise, it is legitimately tougher.

Very insightful analysis, and very true – Camwhore and Emo Kid rp needs feedback and conversation, while Troll rp doesn’t need as much (active vs. reactive, really).

But camwhore posts are booring. I’ve yet to see anyone do a good camwhore rp – and this includes Escher, as magnificent a roleplayer as he may be.

Are there any statistics for the number of users of each clbum? It seem that 50% of the posters I see are trolls.

Well, that’s the point.

What comes with the camwhore character is bad spelling and overuse of smilies, and no matter how well you rp (which you do do very well) it’s just not interesting to me.

Anytime I see a post like that my mind automatically tells me to skim it or just not read it all together.

That’s just me, though.

Level 60 Troll

“Grendel”

Me, I’ve just been sorta going, ‘Being a generic troll is lame. What kind of /bizarre/ troll can I be.’

Thus, I came up with hippy stoner troll. I’ll probably name change when I’m bored enough to get the BP for it.

The thing is, troll is considered to be a very /specific/ type of troll. We don’t have MENSA trolls, we don’t have ‘those sons of ****es whom rile up the forum at each other’, we have lol4chan.

Me, I’m going to keep being this weirdbum hippy guy. It seems pretty awesome to me.

Level 10 Emo Kid

“Gloomy Gus”

I think one problem with trolls vs emos vs camwhores is this:

People here identify with trolls OOCly. You can play a good troll her and have people OOCly think that you’re doing cool ****. I mean, maybe I’m from a snarky bend of the intertubes or something, but my digital acquintances think that a good troll who sticks it to the Man in his many forms is a bit of a folk hero. OOCly, out of the char clbumes, I personally identify with Trolls most.

Now lets look at camwhores. I have great trouble believing that anyone here thinks vapid cheerleaders are cool. And emokids? While a significant portion of the pbase here might well be Deviant-art drawing fabulous persons who listen to emo music, I doubt they’d want to identify with the emokids as they are here presented.

So. When people say that RPing an emokid or camwhore is setting yourself up for fail, I agree. But I think it’s a flaw in the system, or in the way the clbumes are constituted. If you play a troll properly people will OOCly think that’s cool; if you do the same with an emokid/camwhore, not so much. Hence, to play an emokid/camwhore and be entertaining, you have to insert lots of irony into your portrayal, make it clear that you are also laughing at your own character.

I think one of the reason why I find some of the trolls here obnoxious is that the players (note, this is not to say that all troll players are like this) clearly aren’t particularly self-aware about what they’re doing, and that there is no self-irony present. Hence, just another exercise in digital power-tripping at the expense of other people. I think this also means that because players identify with their characters, they take it personally when those characters get lambasted. I absolutely despise people who will never allow their characters to “lose”, throwing **** fits and “no u are”’s when confronted.

Someone mentioned that roleplay as camwhores is only funny for girls. But, I think another problem is that when guys decide do do it, it quits being roleplaying and becoms “Let’s share porn we found while pretending we’re the people in it”.

i read the first page then skipped the rest.

If you go on the internet, you get trolled. You don’t get emos except on emo forums, and you don’t get camwhores except in spam.

Forumwarz is not like the internet, it’s a simple turn based combat game with this vague forum abstraction attached to it.

So the reason every comment made gets trolled is BECAUSE YOU POSTED YOUR RETARD IDEAS ON THE INTERNET, not because people are rping trolls.

pants is right, if you want people to play the game then make it fun instead of introverted and only of interest to analysts and obsessive compulsives.
