    Virtue Or VIP

    Yes, because these incoming f2p players aren't real people.

    Commence with the wringing of hands.

    That's your problem, not mine.

    Just sayin'
    I don't hate roleplaying. I just hate 99% of the roleplayers out there.

    They might be authors, but they're more the worst of fanfiction.net than Shakespeare.

    All I read were multi-paragraphs saying CO makes them look ugly! which is, again, not the fault of the concept, but of it's implementation in that specific game.

    But okay, keep thinking you won.

    And you folks are still hyper-focusing on CO's implementation of it and screaming DO NOT WANT.

As a thought experiment, that editor works. As an actual tool to use, it's horrible.
    No kidding.

    But I'm mocking the absolute refusal to even think about such a system due to fanboy tunnel vision.
    Don't blame the concept when it should be pointed towards developer ineptitude.

    Yeah, because more scalable options for a characters proportions are a bad thing.

The best thing that happens is that everyone who RPs with you will ignore it. The worst thing is that a character with connections in the international intelligence community will make a few phone calls and hack into a database, and announce their "discovery" to the entire bar.
    Any of the oldies might remember Angelus/Geisha. When Pocket D was still young, and before /getglobalname, Ang made a character named Mother Kindly. Going around the D, Kindly would read the bios of other characters and use the information written therein to abrubtly throw it ICly in the other character's face in a very cryptic and creepy way.

    Since this was before /getglobalname, I didn't know and raged in globalchat about it, while Ang basically smiled and nodded.

    It really reinforced the whole 'If you don't want others to know about it, don't write it down in your bio.'

    Sometimes I wish Mother Kindly or someone like it would make a return

    Then you're just looking for justification for your trolling for futa-on-X dockings.

    Oh you rascal!

    Pretty much this. It's hard to do well, and right, while trying to also go 'romance rp' (which is just the apologist's way of justifying ERP, IMO. But I digress.) without running into the creepy fetishists that dominate those genres of RP.
  14. No, no, no!

    But you can spill all the screwdrivers you want after that!

    Although you shouldn't be spilling them in the first place..

    Alcohol abuse, man. Not cool.
  15. Will you be the first person to make a non-objectified futa character?

    Hmm.. catgirl with huge mammaries, penor and skimpy clothing.

    I remain skeptical.

  17. I suppose it depends what is more prevalent, the spoken part or the emoted part. If there's more spoken, and the action is fairly minor, then *****. Otherwise, italics.

    Just as I'm entitled to not acknowledge your bastardization of an AT. There's limits to what I can tolerate before being 'unique' means 'I'm a special snowflake Mary Sue.'

    Two way streets and all that.

  19. I see AE has killed CoH.


    Again.
