I am making myself obvious for like the three people I know cross-pollinate from my plurk to here, but I always found it this way: BBC!Holmes is borderline hollywood sociopathic; from the very little I could watch, he comes off as cold and unemotional and uncaring, and god help me I am so tired of watching shows about a cold unfeeling white dude learning to have ~feelings~.
Elementary!Sherlock is bad at social everything, but he experiences them just as much as anyone else does; they make a point of this. He is a broken man, a man with serious and kind of huge flaws and weaknesses, but he still experiences and shows an incredible emotional range. It makes him empathetic, not just sympathetic, to viewers much sooner on in the show's run, and while I can't speak to how much BBClock becomes such, I know that early on he might as well be a crime-solving robot.

I don't see a problem so long as you're not the one running the plot. In that case, then, yeah, fun though it might be, you would not only have an unfair advantage, but your players would perceive it as playing favorites.
We have this problem in one of my games. Every important clue is discovered by a mod character even though player characters are actively searching. It's lazy GMing (i.e., easier to let my character drop the clue than to contact another player to tell them what their character found).
TL;DR Anyway, as I said, so long as you're not running the plot, I think it's fine for you to participate, and your players should agree.

Has anyone actually tried to give the Shitzaku crit? Or is that player one of those anti-crit people?
I've definitely seen games where the character you play is all that matters with your post. An obscure character is going to take a lot more effort to get a lot of tags to their post than the flavor of the month character will. The characters from popular canons will get loads of tags without even trying and on a stupid "Where am I?" intro made the same day as a bunch of other intros.
That's just the way RP is. Plenty of idiots won't tag characters if they don't know the canon, the character isn't the same medium, isn't played by one of their butt buddies, etc.

what game have you been looking at, because amat's the exact opposite of unwelcoming
You can think what you like of me, it's all right. I cheered up a few people and that's what matters.
If anything's got you down, even if my post isn't helping, I hope you find something that does ♥

I think I've come to realize that I prefer being a lone canon warrior overall. Doesn't help much that my character actually deals better with not having castmates, than having them and losing them later.
...I laughed at this, ngl.
thanks for being a sweetheart, love-anon.

Is anybody else sick of her crying about how haaaaaaaard her life is it's like all she plurks about lately jfc
Okay, no. That's not it at all. Some of the best RPers I've ever played with are ESL. I'm just referring to shitty writers in general and how ESL is not a get out of jail free card for bad writing.
If you're a shit writer, you shouldn't be taking part in a text based hobby that involves other people.

If you get yourself a plurk or start adding everyone on the plurk you have, people will be more apt to play with you. I had absolutely no one playing with my new characters and I've been in the game for years, but when I got more active with my plurk again, people started interacting with them all of a sudden.
If you don't want to use plurk though, I'd say just comment to people's entries if you can. I've never had any problems getting CR when I put in the effort. It's just really hard to comment to the same post by newbies every single month over and over because it's basically the same intro and that gets tiring.
I don't know if it's cliquey exactly but it's hard to get footing if you're not persistent.

except that's not his longstanding, prolific relationship within the comics. sharon is important to steve's development and she's the driving force behind a lot of his decisions and the person who pulled him out of the doldrums when he was moping about the past. she's not just a girl he dated, she's a very good friend and someone he's relied heavily on for decades of canon. it's not anything to do with her being related to peggy. steve wasn't aware of the connection when they started dating and they continued dating because they were in love with each other and it wasn't steve chasing peggy's memory.
and to be honest, sharon's not a super-hero and never showed any interest in being one. she's an agent and she loves her job and the flashy public part of that is steve's role. so i don't get why you'd even try with that point.

Any time ♥♥♥♥ Maybe I can inspire more people to act like this, too!
this is captain america, not spider-man.
besides, steve was in the ice for about sixty years. that's a lot of generations between peggy and sharon. i wouldn't keep trying with the "too close" stuff.

wait, is this the same jae that just became a mod at cfud?
I assume this, as well. But that might just be because the characters I play have pubic hair. So I just tend to assume that other characters do as well.
Their personal HMD doesn't allow anonymous comments and has IP logging on, and they've never posted to the gamewide HMD since the game opened.
Tbh, if the only negative thing you can say about a character/player is that they're kind of boring, that already puts them light years ahead of the likes of Spandy and Suzaku.
i haven't seen this at all, who has been whining
a lot of generations? that's maybe like, two
i don't have a horse in this race but there you go

The problem with that is not every game has more than one person actively running plots. Smaller games especially, even if they have more than one mod, often have only one plot runner. Yes, you shouldn't give yourself all the good plot developments (and should probably take fewer than the rest of the players, to avoid the appearance of plot-hogging), but having to never\ participate in plot just because no one else ever runs them is equally unfair.
