Sormani Strict? I can't stand illiterates. I've learned to not swear at them, threaten them, intimidate them, taunt them, blackmail them, etc., in the presence of either the Official Morrowind Guild or the Official Oblivion Guild. Each and every one of the above, I have done, and much more. I can not stand illiterates, because they tend to think that illiteracy gives them more intelligence than those who type in a clear, legible form. I don't use chatspeak, and I don't condone it, nor is it my place to tell people how or how not to type. I can only assume how many illiterates there are on this site. As an educated guess, illiterates make up around eighty percent of Gaia's population, and probably more. I don't even consider them in the same league as myself. I know that this doesn't apply to all illiterates, but I stereotype all of them. If someone joins a literate roleplay in Barton Town, and types illiterately, not only will I refuse to read their posts, which I'm capable of, but I'll tell them that I'm incapable of reading what they posted, while barely hinting that I know exactly what they typed. I've learned that that's one of the best ways to tick them off. After that, I simply ignore anything they say until they improve(something that very, very rarely happens). I don't even use smilies, unless as a joke. I hate smilies. To me, smilies are chatspeak. Of course, sometimes they improve. As I said, it's rare, but it happens. One case has posted on this board... ((No offense, Arnix.)) Amen to that rant against illiteracy. Though not speaking out makes me sad to hear, that's just because I speak out against everything that pisses me off (ie. alot of stuff), even if it's against my better judgement. You only live once, and there's nothing after you die, so ******** the rest of the world, they can live with it, or not. I honestly can say I don't care.

gamemaniac Ha, Sormani, I thought you were talking about me, I have improved somewhat, I started capitalizing my I's when your around... (And I use many less ...'s too. Than before.) Capitalized Is, always a good thing. Now if only you could do something about your and you're. Just a friendly comment about your grammar right there, but I couldn't help noticing.

Has the RP died, or are we just biding our time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike and make the kill?
