Do you roleplay? Not RPG video gaming, but adopting a character and creating a story with other people. If so, what medium? LARP, forum, online chat, through an MMORPG, pen & paper? What are your pet peeves? How do you like to play?
I'm very free-form and don't like rules or numbers in my RPs. I think having a referee is good, to make sure people aren't completely out of line, but I don't like the idea of a DM having more creative control than anyone else. I haven't RPed in more than 5 years, but I used to really like it. I mostly did forum RPing, since it let me write out longer and more thoughtful messages as opposed to just spewing words in order to get my ideas out, which ended up happening in real-time RPs. I got fed up with having a lot of morons jump in and ruin all the good RPs I had going with people by saying "Vegeta is so strong!!! he comes and hits u all!!! u died and vetega says hahaha u r lusers" (which gets ignored, but after a few of those, it's just really annoying). I guess this is why you have rules. :P I kind of think forums are just good for meeting people with a similar RP style and interest, and then you can go off with those people and have your own invite-only RP forum. Incidentally, I've lost most of my RP friends over the years, so if anyone knows a good site for RP, let me know. :)
