Sirius is too Serious

[Thunderer]

take the game seriously

I respect having an opinion, but I will leave you to think what is wrong with this one. Shouldn't take you a while.

I don't mind the role-play aspect of the game. I mind that the role-play is so often empty, dry, hateful, distanced, bureaucratic, cold. It lacks spirit. So many characters appear to be made on the same frame. I can't see persons behind the words. They are more like the automatic message voice I hear when I call someone, but their phone is turned off so I am being told to "please wait".

And of course, there is the opinion that getting a game seriously is good. That it is more important that you role-play than if that specific role-play is fun. That all that matters is to win at something and look awesome, without heeding that there are actually humans you are playing with, not automated message programmes. It's like playing football with a gun, where you win by shooting the opponents' goalkeeper in the limbs, and where the referee somehow considers that as good sportsmanship.

We are playing roles here. It doesn't matter if the Corsairs or the Outcasts win. The script's already written, you just need to play your role well. Your character might lose something, but there's nothing you lose. Don't let your character take over your mind. Just play.
