It's funny - when you're stuck the most with some paper (or in my case - my thesis), someone always comes along and un-intendedly gives you a little help. Todays helper is Lisbeth with her quote from Scott Adams on EverQuest. I went *PING*...of course it's important for my paper to view this ongoing discussion on roleplaying as part of the EverQuest society creation/maintainance. But where Scott Adams sees it as roleplaying vs. role-playing, I see it more as a matter of something close to the concept of languages - in EverQuest there's english, german, "role-playing", spanish, french, etc. The funny thing is that those who speak roleplaying have a hard time understanding anyone else... I quote too from same article: A: "I said what level are you!!!" B: "Please do not shout at me. I am just a lowly apprentice and do not understand this strange talk." Of course it's a matter of roleplaying, if you see it as from player's point of view, but if you see it from the viewpoint of the avatar, it's something completely different... Thank you, Lisbeth, for adding more to my "things-to-do list" :) Please don't make it the last time! *** - | posted by Tommy on 9:02 PM ---ooo--- |
