16. No one is OOC to the point where I'm going to be a retarded RPer and whine that they are 'idiots' who don't 'deserve' a character, since a lot of characterization, especially changing the circumstances they are in, is subjective.

But I will say that the Lois Lane and the Gatts are freaking awesome. Farf sometimes goes off canon, but mostly stays IC. I love how you don't have Yachiru or the KH or D. Grayman gang up there, since they are the only ones OOC (aside from the rushed narusasu). I'm a huge Adventures of Lois and Clark fan, and I love how both of them are played. And Gatts? I suffer from having three older brothers, unfortunately, who have all been obsessed with Berserk from 1995. And while it isn't my favourite manga (not into the gore and rape), Gatts is basically spot-on and perfectly IC. I say this as someone who is perfectly caught up in the manga (and love the gatts and griffith there so much i've wanted to app as a berserk character). After the Sacrifice, Gatts remains very dark and brash and harsh on the outside, while being an emotional ball of angst on the inside. I haven't seen the player deviate from canon.

And I remember actually being impressed with Lois Lane. The RPer does her calm, collected, smart, sassy, and makes her value the truth above all, which is what she does. The Clark and Lois relationship is played out awesomely.

I haven't seen Vincent do anything OOC, either.

I am just laughing at how all of the worst players there weren't even attacked. The ones completely disregarding characterization in favour of stupid yaoi logs and recent posts. You seem like a h8r ;-)

♥ aww, I'm glad someone loves our L&C Love~ :D It fills me with warmth, because those two are my favourite to play, by far!!!

[(Anonymous)]

You two are my Paradisa OTP. And it has been played out nice and canonly, but with a good slightly different spin on the relationship due to what was taken from Lois.

I still am not getting the Gatts thing. That player does him awesomely. What do they want, for him to be softer? Because he isn't. Or for him to be darker? Because eh isn't. And Lucien is done fine, too. As is Shampoo.

Did this person just pull names out of their ass?

While I'm used to whiners in RPs not being able to just allow others to have fun with RPing, I'm surprised at such good portrayals of the character's canon to be criticized. Everyone on that list deserves to play the character they want to play, especially the Lois and Gatts because I ♥ them so, and I don't know Lucien's canon very much. However, judging by how you play Clark and Zuko, I'd say you're doing him awesomely, too.

This person is lame for holding in such negative feelings toward a very finely played-out game. Doesn't sound like they 'love' it too much.

[ironjill.livejournal.com]

♥ seriously, I love you. XD L&C are so frustrating because they're so... L&C! I feel like they've been shoved in another season the way they're relationship has been torn apart agian, and they gotta build it back together!

Aww, thanks for that too! I love Lois and Gatts so much, but I'm glad that I'm doing well enough!

Yeah, they really are! I feel like there was so much hate there, and not much love. ._.

[(Anonymous)]

OP: I love Paradisa so much!! Now, let me pick a bunch of random characters who haven't even done anything OOC and whine about them and complain and call them names and judge their RPers!!

It really does feel like I'm watching some AU season of them when I read the logs between the two, and I adore it.

[shatters.livejournal.com]

I do agree with your points, but I do think the DGM gang is very IC- except for myself with Kanda right now. XD;; Then again Kanda's OOC right now is on purpose so~ hopefully he'll go back to normal soon.

[ew-younerd.livejournal.com]

FIRST OF ALL I LOVE YOUR ICON. secondly, I agree with you, too. Kanda was pretty on-point and IC until, well, circumstances CALLED for him to be OOC.

[shatters.livejournal.com]

♥ (Blood+ is great! XD)

Thank you! It makes me feel a bit better that people can see that.

[ew-younerd.livejournal.com]

*pimps icon* Not gonna lie, I just got into the series and I LOVE IT.

And really, the Kanda thing? It's just for fun, and to add spice to his plot for like, what, a week? It isn't a big deal. I'm seriously thinking this person is just a Negative Nancy :D

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, when I mention some of the characters, I definitely am only referring to recent developments. And Kanda's OOCness really has been only temporary and for plot, so it is not a big deal. I had just been surprised that it was not mentioned, instead. Because that way I could have interjected with a "Aha! So you are not paying attention the prices being taken!" which I strongly suspect with this person.

[shatters.livejournal.com]

♥! Yeah, I'm surprised too since it's a very bad OOC-ness. XD;;; I guess I'm also guilty for a bit of m/m recently but I have tried to be IC with it and not just DO it.

[continuing.livejournal.com]

Thanks XD; <-- Vincent's player. I'm a little confused as to why he's on there XDDD

[(Anonymous)]

You've been playing him wonderfully, and I'm being honest. I am confused as to why 3/4 of the names are on there.

[cirrusly.livejournal.com]

[(Anonymous)]

Vincent is one of the MOST out of character, IMO.

But nearly all RPd Vincents tend to suck monkey balls, so no big deal.


Stick to writing bad self-insert fics and get out of my games, people.

[(Anonymous)]

You do realize you are no higher on the nerd hierarchy than a bad RPer? You are someone whining about portrayals of fictional characters in 'your' games. Your hobby. A dorky hobby, at that.

You shouldn't be in a game if all you do is look for (perceived) faults in other players to have something to whine about.

And there is a concrit post. Log in as a player and respectively tell the Vincent RPer why your canon interpretation is superior to their own. Or, you know, just sit and bitch and whine. That's always worked.

LOL SENSITIVE.

Maybe this snarky post would be valid if you weren't hiding behind anonymity on livejournal.

LOL HAVING "STANDARDS" IN RPGS.

[attaining.livejournal.com]

I totally agree that characterization is subjective, especially given the circumstances surrounding Paradisa.

But, I honestly don't think it's fair for ANYONE to be attacked like this, you know? Attacking someone anonymously in a public forum is really mean, especially when some of these muns might be very young. Replying to the OP in defense of the characters listed by putting down OTHER characters instead? While your heart was in the right place, that's not cool either. That's just my opinion. &hearts

[shadhahvar.livejournal.com]

This is very true. I, for one, should have been more careful in my wordings. No one deserves or needs to be put down; everyone needed to be positive. I suppose you could say it's the nature of spontaneous argument to be pulling in other examples, and in the cases of many of the above, the OOC mentions are for specific reasons that don't hold up as to saying someone is OOC, let alone all the time. I don't know of any character from the fandoms I know well enough to concrit for who are blatantly OOC.

There's also the difference in how it feels. No one feels blatantly OOC all the time - so in my understanding, no one is OOC. Moments, yes; those happen in games, and I see them, but they don't bother me, and are also not my business to sporadically comment on. I should remember this more often. =)

[attaining.livejournal.com]

&hearts You own up to it, though, so mad props to you. I don't think I've seen you say anything that's really mean here. Concrit is one thing, saying someone sucks is another. XD I definitely agree that everyone has an OOC moment or two, an off day, and you're right about not jumping them.

It happens to all of us! I know I've run my mouth when I shouldn't have. XD The important thing, I think, is to realize your actions and to own up to what you say, for better or worse. :)

&hearts TO YOU THOUGH!

^ Where did I name any names?

I already have spoken to the Kanda RPer, so if you believe I was implying them, I never meant to offend them and apologized. Otherwise, I did not single out a soul.

[attaining.livejournal.com]

I actually wasn't referring to anyone specifically at all. :) I don't think you meant to offend anyone, but you did criticize others in your defense*. I didn't necessarily mean naming names; I just don't think it's fair to put down others anonymously in a comm like this in general. That's all I meant. Love and peace and tree hugging? Though I guess I am singling you out when others have done it, too. DX Sorry, that wasn't my intention either. &hearts
