The Commonwealth

[Enkidu]

I really like everything I've seen from this faction during my scoots around in the Taus and such, with one exception. The "gimmick" of your entire faction talking like an explosion in a thesaurus factory is probably one of the most irritating and obnoxious "quirks" I've ever seen. I'm all for having a wide vocabulary, but when your average word length is creeping into the double digits, maybe you should tone it down a bit.

That said, the quality of RP and everything other than the thesaurus abuse is excellent. You keep the Taus interesting.

Thanks Omicega for the instafeedback .

I can see where you're coming from - our post lengths are certainly outsize and certain roleplay characters (mostly Achille and Robert, but you could extend that to about three others), have a tendency to deliberately overcomplicate their sentence structures, but there's a reasoning beyond simple flamboyance behind it; both characters delight in obfuscation and confusing whatever individual they happen to be dealing with at the time. See it as the none-aggressive, firmly neutral equivalent of threatening someone with an antimatter round to the head; it's intended to incapacitate the opposition just as effectively.

I'll admit that we're beginning to lose a handle on it, and are well aware how OORP strenuous a lot of CW| dialogue can prove to the uninitiated, both ingame and out. We're trying to tone it down a little.

Edit: Most of the faction actually communicates with the archetypal accents of their origin houses, or just types conventionally. The verbose chars just have greater forum representation, partly due to faction structuring and partly due to Oorp activity restrictions.

It's not a "gimmick", it has a use.
