Hosters Please Read

Hello Everyone,

I am posting this because I'm sick and tired of people trying to kick people who are ... not so good at spelling or grammar... I think that all people should have the chance to role play... I just recently joined a clan OSRP and am seriously thinking about quitting after a previous experience with a few members, they were about to host a game and one of them said, "Let me pick the GN, Name it SotDRP No Illiterates"... I honestly think this needs to stop if Role Playing is ever going to revive... Theres the chance that Role Playing diden't just die... We could have killed it.

Wow man... i really like your enthusiasm... i seriously think we should atleast try to revive it...

You mean Eva Unit? He is a douche, he made me make a game with his game title and then he left when I started.
CLIDUS should kick him from the clan xD!!

Sounds like it but im not sure, my statement still stands though.

Alright its final I'm leaving clan OSRP, its not only the one person you mentioned but the leader CLIDUS as well... a direct quote "You see Zan, unlike most clans, i don't just host pubs and let noobs join.I look for talent, I don't want a bunch of scrubs in my clan like COTR or LERP." In response to this (I'm getting all this from in wc3) i say "Are you calling me a noob?" he says next No, I'm just saying, thats why I don't have many people in the clan yet." I once again say in response "Well I'm going to go host my pubs and play with some scrubs" he says, "Rofl? What are trying you saying? I would rather RP with pros not noobs." in response i say "I believe this is why RP is dieing."

I do believe this is why its dieing, everyone is so stuck up that they wont let "Noobs" play so that no one ever learns to play anymore, and the people who do know partially how to play but need a little help aren't allowed either, they are considered "Noobs." I'm not saying you should give up your fun RPing just to help Noobs, but once in a while host a Noob training game...

I emphasize proper grammar because it makes people think before they type, eliminating conversations like this:

1: k
2: whats the theme?
3: can we do castle theme?
H: Did you read what I said?
2: dude castle theme is gay
3: HOST OMG RESPOND
1: ya castle theme!!

And theoretically replacing them with conversations like this:

H: We will vote in game.
1: Ok.
(2 reads before typing because it takes more time to type)
3 (joins game): What's the theme?
(instead of getting a flood of responses from the game, the host has time to type)
H: We will vote in game.

Also-- I don't ask for commands in game. If you don't know the commands, that's fine. As long as you aren't an idiot who loves uber stuff and doesn't know how to actually roleplay, and as long as you can take your time and listen to the host.

I can see asking for people to use proper grammar but... i mean what about the people who don't have proper grammar ... seriously they should get a chance to RP too

Well I don't mind if you don't know english too well, that's not what I mean. I mean when people talk like this:

"omg u r ignoring me red, wat are the rules"

Instead of this:

"Red, what are the rules?"

Either way, if we stop encouraging proper grammer, or if we do. Either the amount of RPers will decrease, or the amount of Rpers will decrease.

Thats right. People who can spell, begin to stray away from the RP, because all the public ones are filled with people who cant spell their own god damn name.

And if we force it, then the amount of RPers will decrease (the people who cant spell) and due to a lack of games because of the decrease, the people who can spell will also decrease.


Wc3 Rping is going to die. Simple put. But we can delay it, atleast.

What about the people that just don't care about grammar? I myself do use proper grammar and spelling but I couldn't care less about what other people do unless it directly effects me, you've completely left the neutral people out of the eqution, I'm hurt, truly I am.

And yes I realise I came into this late, everyone in this topic seems to have a valid argument, and if most of the people here heed my good friend Zan's advice we might actually be able to revive rp's, and hopefully eliminate the narufag rp's. (BTW Zan this is Munk I finally registered :D)

Woot Munk my man... thank you for supporting my point on this. And neutral people... that should be the way we all are... and Void instead of saying no Illiterates say No Slang... Ask them to please not use abbreviations and stuff like that.

Well I think it's more like use it while in character.

Sorry for coming into this late i am a neutral person concerning this i spell properly except for some big words :),of course type-o's happen.
Well if we dont train noobs then who will play when we quit WC3 (if that happens).Of course that grammar is important, especially when characters talk.So like there shouldnt be something like this:

Gronnash:we orkis r kool
Gugrok:Yeaa wer kewl
(i know stupid sentance but couldnt make up something else)

My point is if we dont train noobs were killing RP-ing,and if we do train noobs theres a small chance that we could revive it.But as time passes by more and more i think that Steel_Stallion is right.
I myself was a noob 2 or 3 months ago i thought everything myself (sorry for bad grammar but i kind of forgot how to properly write that).

Well i would advise everyone that in your time of rping... train at leest one noob... that way if you go out you have some one taking your place!

Yea but better 2

Two would be nice too... if every rper trained at least two people... the community would increase dramatically...
