Darius' Roleplay Information Thread

[Petitioner]

While you and I were both inRPly and ooRPly at odds for a good while due to various circumstances, I can't deny that your roleplay is, on the whole, excellent, and I have enjoyed every encounter with you that I can remember at the moment. Your news articles et al are also very good and well-written, and are some of the few I actually bother reading; furthermore you've gone from being one of my least favorite people on Discovery to someone I enjoy hanging out with and talking to within a relatively short period of time. I'm definitely looking forward to getting to engage ingame more often once my life circumstances settle down enough to make regular play possible for me again.

However, one thing I would like to mention, comrade communist republican, is your nomspeak -- as you know, I'm a Vagrant player, and Vagrants have largely done away with the ancient Keepers-origin nomspeak that we're all familiar with (yet none of us understand). Obviously, you play iotashare Wild rather than voidshare Nomads, but I do believe that in any case, whether playing a Nomad or infectee of either hive, the frequent employment of metaphor rather than literal language is critical to achieve a truly "alien" feeling. While there are of course almost innumerable ways to do this, there are also many established conventions that one can draw on as a way to dip one's toes into less human-like ways for characters to express themselves. Considering how much time and energy you put into Wilde stuff, I think it would greatly behoove you to focus on fleshing out this aspect of your writing, whether via reading poetry for inspiration or just asking other alien players for guidance.

Don't take the above paragraph too harshly -- I'm relatively new to playing aliens myself, this was just something I immediately picked up on about your writing. Overall, like I said, I'm eager to read more of what you write (human or otherwise) and especially to encounter you ingame more often.

[say this part like a stuttering schoolgirl]
I hope you enjoyed reading this textwall as much as I enjoyed writing it.
