This is our fourth installment of TWG's General Discussion.

TWG
General Discussion III


This week's Outbreak card is as followed:

FIRST!

The big Deal is that people are meant to be roleplaying as someone else.

It's not roleplaying if you're yourself.

No one RP's as themselves. We RP as our characters that we thought up for ourselves. See the difference?

I really don't see why others give a damn. It's just a role. Hell, I'm playing the role of The Prime, a custom character based on myself. It's not me, it's a *bleep*ing character inspired on own self.

TBH, this has been working out pretty well and I don't get why some people are starting to hate when it has no effect on them anyway. The idea of this is to have fun and I have much more fun with an original character that I have complete control over.

Dyaa. Nyaa. Dyaa! Nyaa! DYAA! NYAA!

Well, no it is you. 'You turned up to 11' as you always say.

Homi, 9 times out of ten, it is basically themselves. If this is how it's going to be, then go and create your own CaW Rp, and leave stuff like this to the conventional rpers who do it how it is supposed to be done.

Wait a minute! Now I thought rping was supposed to be fun. If we rp well as self character who are you to judge. Also there is no rule in TWG that says you are not allowed a self character.

Yes, let's use the phrase I like to use for it.

Those basically mean same thing. For me, turning myself up to 11 means I'm becoming more of a lively character, it's technically a part of me, but also based on my normal self highten for attention and fun and shit. It's one of the best ways for me to say what I want and to be heard while also entertaining people at same time. Concept is still the same.

So there, I explained that phrase now to make you happy. Fact still stands, people have a bit more freedom when it comes to RP. WDS, by resisting and trying to go against that, all your doing is standing in the way of actual advancement of wrestling RPs on Neo. All your doing is standing in the way of change for a better and fun for others based on some perspective you have of things and how you choose to see a word.

Also, woopdee, *bleep*ing do, I original choose to do something no one else was doing with original character concept and people are following off of it now. And by looks of it, it is making things better and bit more interesting, which I think is by the whole better. So, I'm happy others are doing original characters, I find it interesting to say the least.

Dyaa. Nyaa. Dyaa! Nyaa! DYAA! NYAA!

It also means you're rping as yourself, just with a few more extravagances thrown in. Ergo, being yourself. Ergo, displaying no real rping ability.

And apparently getting a long way with it.

Predicting a long reply, so Id just like to point out that doesn't mean you aren't a good writer, it just means you aren't really rping.

Not really going to be that long, I'm too addicted to Code Geass at sec

I am still playing out a role though still. Hell, for the Prime character what I've been trying to work out is still me playing a role in bits, with my whole Alternative Hip Hop persona I've been working with. True, it is an actual part of me, I just prefer to use own self as a medium.

In the end, I don't see why it matters. Do I need to come up with a new name for this, A Wrestling Simulation game or something, for it to matter? Roleplay is just a term. Go check out Roleplay forum and you can see people who play as self in game in their own versions of themselves they made up of self.

Hell, with your definition of it, I could have just picked up someone like Elijah Burke and done all the exact same things and I still be me and you'd see that as an amazing RPer or I'd be criticized for not sticking to how they are plus I'd be trapped to the confinds of their stories and such, which is a bit annoying. I can be other people, I've done so in past, I just don't have fun with it, which is one reason I stayed away from these so long.

In the end, I see others are having fun actually doing that, which I believe is the reason RPing was started in the first place. I see no reason to interfere with things that people enjoy if it has no negative effect on things and just truly help to make them better.

Wow, maybe that was longer then I thought

Alright, I'm going to say something and I want the argument left alone or taken to PM after this:

TWG is different than past roleplays. We allow created characters, as well as real life stars. It makes us different, it maks us unique, and it makes people happy. If you don't like it, don't be a created guy. Simple as that.

ZTR so to clarify, as I asked before, can you be a created character of any way, shape and form?

ZTR does that mean I could be Xu Zhu or Dian Wei come back from the past to pwn super stars of TWG?

Now I in no means condone this created character business, but this is getting silly now.. Dash.. We get it.. You're yourself but TO THE MAX

WDS, I understand your issues with created characters, a view I share, but leave the arguing to PM or MSN...

Shape.. Again, I agree with your ideas and I have no issue you posting in here voicing your opinions without being in TWG, but again, leave the arguing to somewhere else...

And Singe.. That comment is beyond stupid.. Are they real life wrestlers? No.. Are they created? No, they're real people from the ancient past...

K.. Let the discussion recommence.. Not arguing...
