Re: RP 06 AWARDS! (yes we ripped the idea off PvP ones)
I imagine the scene. Take any award, like the Oscars. Some nominees are presented, clear winners for this year begin to surface. However, one guest speaker starts talking against another actor. This actor answers back, and others join to support either group. The essence of the initial presentation is now lost, because they wanted to bring some interpersonnal conflicts publically. Eventually, the award ceremony is stopped, to let people calm down.
If this would happen in the real life, every actor that took part in the name throwing would be the laughing stock of the cultural community, simply because they wasted the ceremonies' mood, despite if their arguments were good or bad.
Roleplayers are actors in a sense. Our role is our character, our play is this game, and every action we make, either in-game or in the forum is what we want to show to the public. Many mentionned in this thread do a great job, making our everyday interactions inside this big screenplay more real, more enjoyable. However, it only took a few personnal vendettas brought here to hide the good work of some players.
No need to answer to this message, I already feel bad to have written this because I hate intervening in OOC conflicts, especially those I'm not involved.
I would gladly write my own nominees for RP awards, but displays of meaningless conflicts like that remind me why I don't want to participate anymore in the current state of roleplay, prefering to do my own affair with those that care.
