GK, this is on topic. Proof that we take steps to avoid powerplaying.

Powerplaying is irrellevant. Take it elsewhere.

Anthricids? You mean those things which nearly wiped out the Diotoir?
 
Also-

It's called the Roleplay thread for a reason, GK. Powerplaying is relevant to it.

It's a debate about the relevancy and merits of RP to the forum. Not a discussion about RP's points.

Quoted for truth. ELLB is made to be slipperier to catch than a wet haddock covered in butter flopping about on an ice rink, whilst Jade's godmodding beasts can somehow destroy whole battleships with one flick of the wrist.

Those two yeah, but the Anthricids, no that wasn't powerplaying. It's just the simple fact that a single battleship is going to get torn up fighting an entire fleet!

Right. Let me sum up what I think most of us can agree on:


1. RPing will not kill the forum.
2. Don't like the RP threads? Don't look at them!

I agree. But this is not the thread to discuss powerplaying.

I'll start a different thread for powerplaying if necessary.

Ima end this debate right here: If you want RA2, stay off the junkyard. No need to participate in roleplaying.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

This is an RA2 forum, not a roleplay forum. Simple as that.
Why don't we get rid of all of your non-RA2 posts then? Let's delete every music thread, the GTM MP3 player thing, every movie thread, every artwork thread, every political thread, and anything that doesn't stay on the topic of RA2. Sure, we'll only have maybe 3 members who remain, but it'll be focussed, goddammit!
