How far can RP go? - lw'nafh - 04-22-2010
Dave, stop this... Really, bad RP isn't bad because it's furry, or scalie, or whatever. Believe it or not, there's a big difference between stupid furry RP, and stuff that makes sense.
Get. Over. It.

As someone that rides around with such a character, what boundries are those? Cause... I find the Furries are much like breaking the fourth wall.
Like, it seems it's so ridiculous, it breaks the sense of RP for me.
I don't get it.

Boundries such as:
They need to be created somehow, in a way that can be in some way explained. Therefore, cloning is acceptable, magic is not.
They can't be better than everyone else in every way. Sure, give them cat-like reflexes, but then subtract something to equal that out. In Vixen's case, she is loathe to take a life, which prevents her from attacking to the best of her abilities should the need arise.
You need to know how to RP it properly. Vixen is anthro, she doesn't really flaunt it around, she acts mostly like everyone else, except for certain slips-of-the-tongue.
Usually any Furries, catgirls, or scalies around are a result of genetic screwing-around. I explain this fair enough. As far as i know, Kanga explains this well enough. And if someone can explain something to a fair RP standard, leave well enough ALONE.

Er. "The Retribution Chronicles"? The basis for all my stories on the forum? Oh never-mind, no one ever reads them because it's a wall of text anyway.

I understand how OP is upset about it because thinking of it, this game resolves around human beings, there were no catgirls/boys in the singleplayer campaign if i recall correctly, no dinosaur or raptors either.
People are free to RP how they wish and will, but it should at least somewhat resemble what the universe of the game is, humans in space.
I like catgirls myself, but i don't think it fit in here so i RP as some human being instead. If catgirls can be dragged into lore i'd accept it. But seeing as most people don't care about lore relations, i guess it's ok to RP whatever you want to be.

Your point is moot.

Things are connecting and circling tonight, time to sleep and let this pass.

I dunno, things have pretty much gone off the rails with Ghost ships, over 1000 year old crazy terrorists, cyborg people, anthros... meh.
I'm just wondering at what point does Disco just become a mixing bowl of random sci-fi stuff bunched together.
Not a rage or hate thread Sindy, I'm just saying, I could work out a way to have Dinosaurs flying space craft, but why would I do that?
Question being, why do people RP furries? as Sirius is probably the worse enviroment for that...
90% of Sirius are killers, or fund the killers who kill alot, and alot of people are Xenophobic, dangerous universe for a cat-person.
How far can RP go? - lw'nafh - 04-22-2010
Because in most cases my scalie is just as xenophobic and killhungry as most of Sirius? For different reasons, mind you. (See: Survival, predator)
