Standards for Role Play "Invention"

[worldstrider]

Sorry, but,I think you talk about Dreygon's last RP, and I'm fan of this guy, so, I'll try to make it short : ok, you don't like new tech's creation. So be it : the original stuff goes to garbages box, and let's throw a nuke in the sun instead... Hmm ? Simple, as efficient, boring...

Actually--the whole point--is I do like new tech.

There is always the chance someone will have such a great idea that its natural to suspend disbelief because it is so original or unique or fun. I'm all for that when it happens. I said I like Dreygon's rp with Mon'star.

But we can't all sit around and just make anything up out of thin air with no limitation or basis for it.

Also, its a bit hypocritical to always hear "we want real role play" and then read the forums where every time anyone dares to do something new they get mass flamed by all the old hands who don't want anyone else having the "good old role play" because its just for them.

Good fences make good neighbors. When people have some simple boundaries, it makes it simpler to get along.

A lot of newer players need guidelines to get them started. Having a rationale helps.
