The problem with ARP is that it attempts to solve the problem of no one roleplaying in RP…by forcing them to roleplay. Forced roleplay=bad roleplay.

Also, one of the biggest things this “community” suffers from is people constantly complaining about how bad it is.

Posting in colour and calling it RP.

Look, Besides the mbumive irony in this statement, You seem to come from the new jrpg style of rpg definitions,

Some of us actually try to accurately, Ummm, Adopt a role when we roleplay? You honestly think the only difference between me and at is whether or not my text is brown and a funny method of typing?

Just because the role is pre-established, Doesn’t somehow make it less of a played role,

But in all honesty? Come on. Your suggestions of brilliant lost users is basically 90% people who were disruptive which made them “great” and you know what, there might be fewer people who disrupt to be great if BEING DISRUPTIVE WASN’T THE ONLY WAY TO BE “POPULAR” ON FLAMEBATE. You can’t work with a pre-established role to roleplay, that’s just a gimmicky fad pretending to be RP. You can’t create your own RP, it’s **** just like everything else that’s new right? Speaking of new, heaven forbid if you’re new. Our collective heads are too far up our collective bumes to bother remembering that, hey, we were all new once. It is basically impossible to become liked here by playing by the rules.

You’re basically the black side of chess, Complaining that you lost pawns, It’s not fair, Boo hoo even though you won and it’s basically impossible to win while playing by the rules here, Seriously? The only thing killing flamebate here is people like you who think the only popular people are the ones who are so edgy,

I think I’ll go cool off and check back later.

This is all very silly of us to argue about.

I just thought I would pop in and say that I’m pretty popular (at least I think I am) and I pretty much play the rules 100%. I also pretty much skipped the ‘lol you’re a noob’ stage too. So yup.

You’re an attractive female on the internet. You could post in Cantonese and be popular.

Hey, Cezar, remember the thread where I went down to the shop to buy everyone stuff because I love them?

That was an example of me actually taking an active attempt at doing some of the good posting you’re only complaining about. I’d start taking notes.

What a disappointing end of Flamebate thread critique reply response Log in to see images!

Perhaps you missed my point. While EmoKid may not have posted well, he was threre. His ****tiness was something the community could rally behind, and arguably one of the better FoW threads was made centered around him. If he had never shown up, we never would have had that. A large part of flamebate is mocking people, and that can’t happen if there are no people. Still, though, I’d rather see hundreds of terrible posters than sit around with 5 or 6 people saying “Man this place is ****” over and over.

hahaha
