Post by Vyt: Down, but Not Out on Jul 21, 2008 8:58:54 GMT -5
Assessment report:
I've decided to comment on how I did in roleplaying aspects during GW2. Ignore me if you don't have anything to add. I'm just posting this up so I can remind myself later on when I revisit this thread (besides, I can use this as an excuse to criticize myself, but moving on).
Godmodding still existed on my actions, especially during the first half of GW2. I have yet to acknowledge the limits of my characters' abilities and strengths, and though I managed to catch up by the second half, a godmod is still a godmod.
In relation to that first problem, I seem to have overused the statement "... quickly knew what was going on." I tried ignoring posts that either were unrelated to my characters or had perspective natures that were supposed to be kept private, but due to simplicity's sake, I tend to "have a foresight of what was going on", which proved to be unfair for the others in the long run.
Also, though my posts have gone longer than they used to be, I still have lots to learn about putting in more details on my actions. I have probably been scarred by the thought of "having the same content in smaller packages" too much that it degraded to simply showing what I wanted. "He died seeing Death" and "His sight met the lingering presence of Death, as the mysterious reaper waved his scythe towards him" are technically the same actions, but I would have to be accustomed to adding more details if I wish my characters to have a colorful storyline.
I need to be reminded to look more carefully in other people's posts. For many times throughout the roleplay, I have been corrected for simply overlooking important details in the actions of other characters.

Well, Vytvyt, at least you've been improving, right? :3 Heck, we all probably have. I know I, for one, have improved since GW1. And I can probably assume that I'll be saying the exact same thing about GW2 when GW3 rolls around. XDDD;; *can already imagine herself looking back on this very post and laughing* So... yeah. Here's to continuing improvement or something like that.  *toasts* *butters and eats toast* Mmm... toast. [/lame pun] |

>_> ...Yep, that last post pretty much summarizes the whole reason Jernath doesn't like to be 'shipped. Oh, and Cyborg, I just thought I should point out that I noticed that your post is a bit contradictory in a couple places. XD; "...we are both taking a break from the mercenaries, I don't know how long." Midknight said. ... "... We'll be back in about one and a half to three years though." Midknight replied. It was badly worded, I meant for him to say " I don't know excactly how long." " We'll most likely be back in one and a half to three years." Speaking of improvement, I've improved a lot also, from my non descriptive one liners in the Pirates RP, to these longer more descriptive posts. I still have a lot of work to do though, like finding a way of destroying all of the world's typos! |

Umm Cele, Cyborg's not in the Box, Midknight, Esme, Rose, the squirrels, Jernath, Shado and Gryff are the mercenaries in the Box.

On a sidenote, my internet access will be very jumpy, scarce, and unpredictable for a moreorless unknown amount of time due to having a vacation in The Middle of Nowhere (lovely place, great nature, wish you were here). I should be back home on August 4th at the very latest, possibly earlier, but until then I can't make any promises about how often I get to post. |

[glow=green,2,300]Cyborg: I take offense, I'll get my revenge, Hunty, if it's the last thing I do!!! *shot*[/glow]

XD Not like the wedding.)[/glow] *mental image'd* One of those 'a shadow in the night, a single scream, a drop of blood on the floorboards, a kingdom's fate changed' kinda scenarios? :3 I should reread Macbeth. (Though I'm still likely to stick to Wyrd Sisters references. Same thing, 'cept better.) Rane's a bit of a fail as far as any fighting goes and I don't intend to write any powerups-ex-machina into him either, so in the finest storytelling and Hollywood traditions, this'll be an equal match x3 But that's not the topic of this GW any more, yes. As it is now, we can has wedding. My internet access is still mucho questionable, so don't rely on Rane giving orders much (read: d'aww, he's all speechless and floating in the clouds x3). |

[glow=red,2,300]He's the Queen's true love. That's like seven powerup-ex-machinas in one. ^_^ In that, "I step to the side and suddenly there's a twanging arrow in the floorboards."
And Kite's all, "Don't worry about it, it was probably just the wind." ^_^
But the sketchiness of the Kite can indeed wait until after GW is done. ^_^ Hope you're having fun on vacation, Hunty-kun! [/glow]
