I like having an established personality for my various characters, but I refuse to freeform roleplay because there is a lot of people who cannot accept ever 'losing' or not being good at something ever.

There's a lot of people who end up with horrible horrible power fantasies. I've interacted with more than a few amarr roleplayers and they tend to be some of the worse ones (everyone is a holder with the biggest holding ever and personal ties to the empress, etc). It reminds me of being fourteen and joining a freeform RP forum and entering the 'tavern' where it had to have been some non-Euclidean extradimensional space because all of the four-hundred special snowflakes there had their own dark shadowed corner where they were alone and brooding.

I used to run fairly successful freeform roleplays on a different forum. But, being a writer anyway, could always put the rp back on track should anyone try to derail it in ways that were just downright ridiculous.

The point is that without established rules and structure, people tend to be real **ing idiots about things. I still play and enjoy D&D fairly frequently, but there's always problem players.

Incest, Pedophilia, Bestiality, Extortion, Murder, Theft, Embezzlement and diminishing the papal office to the point where a person who was later sainted called you 'the devil himself', is not the paragon of what it means to be amarrian. I've met a few 'holders' who think this. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.
