who gives a shit. as long as you rp appropriately to where you are (no gaia-like nekoslave characters in a serious lotr forum or something), respect others' preferences (players who don't want to write smut with underage rpers), and have fun, really. who gives a shit.

Age is just a number. As long as they can write a coherent sentence and are fun to play with, I'll play with anyone of any age.

What do you mean? Just turning him down IC is sorta difficult in that context. Ignoring or turning him down ooc makes more sense.

i don't check for people's ages. if it's listed on plurk or something, fine, but otherwise if i can't tell that you're 80 years old or 12 years old i don't give a fuck.

not happening. go back and read logs for some of the other big game-effecting plots. halloween 2011, masterworld, etc.

Eway managed to get a tiny, active, cross-canon-happy SPN cast. Quality > Quantity apparently

As a mod, this makes me so uncomfortable. I've seen my players doing this and it throws me every time. Stop lying. We have plot, but we are not plot-heavy.

How the fuck is the small tag counted as "pretty formatting"?? Are you actually talking about sparkly tiny font or standard action tags? If it's the latter then what are you doing playing outside of prose-only games?

Except she shouldn't do that, because it'll be an asshole thing to do.

I think a lot of rpers must basically never read anything but anime subtitles, because every time we have one of these threads, people with childishly antiquated ideas of what books are like show up. What's the deal.

In addition to what everyone said Rose expressing curiosity about her mother's favorite beverages is the original BLUH!!! panel.

Reality guys: the children of alcoholics are more likely to grow up to be alcoholics themselves, both because of genetic predisposition to addiction and because of learned behaviors.

tbh tho they do have a solid point in their first line

why the fuck is smalltext the standard anyway? why not italics, or making the brackets stand out more?

oh my god, the people who seem to think humorous prose doesn't exist frustrate me to no end.

kind of like how going against preference is an asshole thing to do?

Played in a high school game where we had a plot that addressed homophobia. Mormonhime ragequit because of it.

I do a lot of smut so anyone under 18 is a no go. If I found out someone I smutted with lied about their age I'd be creeped the fuck out and pretty angry but that's a hazard of playing with people on the internet I guess.

If it's gen then I really dgaf as long as they're coherent and fun to thread with. So: treat them exactly as I would other players.

And I don't have an upper limit. I hate that some people feel they need to lie because of the young ones who feel ~weird~ playing with someone over 25.

it really depends on how it's done. I'm pretty casual with my ooc text and most of the people I play with are too, but when it's like "ljgsd *plurkemote*" all the time I get annoyed by it. The occasional meme/reference works, but not when the ooc text sounds like how the player talks oocly every single tag.
