SE RPG community dying *sigh*

It is not dead.

I think Taera is referring to people who not only multiplay, but do it in an RPG fashion. That means that they don't go "out of character" while using out of bounds communication like email. I intend to roleplay as much as I can in my current PBW game (with you Letharg). So for example, in stead of saying "Please move your ships away!" I'll say:

"The diplomatic emmisary of the Dragon Empire respectfully conveys the wishes of his Emperor. It is Our desire that you clarify the intent of your vessels who have entered into Dragon space. Be aware that if no explanation is forthcoming, forthwith, we will treat them as hostile."

I'm just curious about what's always going on between Hadrian and Judj. I mean what the hell is the big deal between them?

I'm not so interested in the judj-Hadrian thing... I'm more interested as to why they think we should all know about it :P

Back to the RPG topic..
every game I play, any communication between players I do in "Role" unless it's technical Queries or similar.

The RPG community aint dead, we just dont have a website that tells everyone else what's happening

I think Taera means RPG in larger scale. There used to be a lot of Role Play were people wrote tens of pages in forums. Nowadays I've seen only little compared to that. The Judj-Hadrian thing has been around since SE3 so I don't know a lot about it.

I, too, intend to be a pure role-player; I'm less interested in winning the game than I am in telling the stories of my people.

Of course, I haven't actually _played_ yet; I'll be joining my first PBW game in a day or two.

I enjoy roleplaying my races, too, but my Favorites, the Tiktsin, are too pacifistic to be competitive in a game against human players. My Rrurrr are combative enough for PBW, but my lack of experience is getting them crushed in Geo's tourney.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
