     I guess just you, I don't know.

     Maybe go back and edit the original post where you acquire the Andalite. That way it doesn't seem rushed, like it was added.

So, we Visser 3 have a part in this RP? As an NPC?

So, I hate to be an English Nazi or anything, but, uh...well, I get paid to be one.

TMP, feel free to overrule me.

I was wondering if I could, ah, encourage everyone to look over their posts before hitting that 'submit' button. There are a lot of errors popping up, some unobtrusive, and some that seem to be directly affecting the flow of this rp.

For example: Gorilla, I get that your character talks a lot. It's just part of his personality, which is cool. But the way he says things are important, and it doesn't seem like he's talking how a real person would. Try to read your dialogue out loud before posting. If it doesn't seem like something you'd say irl, maybe modify it a bit. Each one of your posts seems to have your character saying or doing five different important things at once. I get that you want to get a lot of information into one post, but it's okay to save some stuff for later.

NBA: I know your Andalite is dead now, but voice is hugely important. An Andalite wouldn't say 'Hehe', and an Andalite would speak in a much more rigid way. Remember, they are a society based upon honor and tradition, and even though this particular Andalite is breaking the rules he has still grown up in that culture.

Like I said, I know Larz is dead now, so it hardly matters, but think about it in relation to your Yeerk character. Is your Yeerk a die-hard supporter of the Empire? If so, why? Does he believe in what the Empire stands for, or does he just want a shot at the power that comes with a Visser rank? Is he sympathetic at all to his host, or does he treat it like a lesser species - or even enjoy torturing it for fun?

Oh, and by the way, it's "Ellimist", not "Elimest"

Sorry for the tl;dr.....and sorry if I'm stepping on any toes. I just...teach English...to high school kids...so voice and flow and grammar are all rather important to me.

Ok, my point is that I wouldn't do that in real life, so it doesn't apply here. I would more likely be frozen stiff than running and screaming. And I don't appreciate people taking my charie into their control.

     Oh my

     If it's that big a deal, let's edit our posts so RAFRukh's pride isn't hurt.

     Kayla, introduce her if you want. Just make sure the character is well thought out and NOT a Mary-Sue.

Excuse me?

I'm not a prideful person. In fact, I'm much like my character. I'm very self-conscious.

The standard of Role Playing is to leave each character to their creators. Unless you THOUGHT I was screaming because you misread something I typed, this looks to me like you've taken control of my character. And as I am in control of my character, and it is supposed to be like me, I absolutely know I would not scream.

So no, it's not like you've offended me. But this is not how Role Playing works. I'll play along, but It's not that big of a deal to edit your post...

Posting now...

Sorry, I gotta agree with Caleb on this one. I really hate it when people tell me how my character acts or feels, unless it's a GM I trust with my character. And there are very few GMs I trust that much. :P

  • Back to the original.
one of KA's biggest plot holes was the andalite sense of humour she has some acting like robots and one remembering his childhood friend loving games and jokes. And for your information, I was trying to make him sound as stiff as possible. I guess I'm just to "lax" for that so someone else can have the role of ellimists little helper.

Roleplaying 101: You can't say what another character does or doesn't do. This goes from something as large as killing off some other person's character to something as minuscule as making a character fart.


As far as the Andalite sense of humor bit...it is pretty firmly established that Andalite humor is either nonexistent or, at least, very different from what humans would perceive as funny. I have no doubt that Andalites enjoyed their own brand of games and jokes, but they are not anything we, as humans, would find humorous. Additionally, an Andalite warrior is raised in an honor based society that is run by an extremely strict social code, one that is reflected in the manner in which a warrior carries himself. This includes speech as well as physical being.
