issaferretI would like to illustrate my ambivalence with online roleplaying.
In the last 24 hours, I have been approached by three different RP-quality guilds on World of Warcraft, and actually interviewed with one of them, in character (Sayvil, my warlock, has an interesting character, potentially. Quietly obsessed with control, self and otherwise, because of her constant work with demons and party-managing aggro, disdainful of 'adventurers' who go in, hack everything up, and are pleased with the resulting carnage, and fascinated with money, because of the effect she can have by making and spending it.).
My honest response surrounding these interested parties is:
Embarrassed, I say, because there's a reasonably noisy voice in my head saying THIS IS A CLEAR SIGN YOU'RE ONLINE TOO MUCH. GO THE FUCK OUTSIDE!
This of course, delves not at all into the RP gyrations I get to go through trying to decide who to go with, because I'm currently Daffy Duck jumping up and down on the head of the noisy voice, all the while chanting "Down, down, down, mine mine mine, back back back!"
