Okay, I've been wondering what people think of me and others RPing, so I started this thread. You rate the last user to post's RPing skills on a scale to 1 to 10 (10 being Nirvana) and explain why and how that person could improve. Be honest here, folks.

I'll start with Egyria. 10/10. Reading over old posts, it's obvious that E was quite a writer.

Are we talking about writing ability or RP'ing ability, because as far as Egyria goes, I'll give him an 8 for his writing ability, but only a 2 for his role-playing ability, because he had no give and take when it came to rp'ing.

I agree with New Harumf. A 7 for writing ability and a 1 for RPing ability.

First off if I understood right, the thread should have gone like this:

Quaon rates Egyria
Norightsia rates Quaon
New Harumf rates Norightsia
Norightsia rates New Harumf
CE rates Norightsia
The CNNP rates CE
I rate the CNNP... which I will do

Secondly:

The CNNP = 6/10

Thirdly:

Egyria was something like a -1000 for RPing. But yes, easily a 10 for writing ability. Great writer. Could have gone very, very far. Chose to be a selfish ass.

I hope CE is paying attension to what being a selfish and inflexable person does to you...

Oh, well, all I had was his writing ability to go on, see as I was never there.

Filo, 7 for RPing ability. Your pretty good, but I give you a 4 for writing. I know your Italian, but you could use an American spell checker. It's getting better (your English, I mean), but a spell checker could easily get you an 8.

Fine. I'll rate Harumf first.

RP=10. He is a golden oldie (on the Forums I mean ;) ) and has been in a lot of classic RPs, including many wars. His characters are very different, and have strong indpirations. Amen.

As for writing, since he is the only person I know who can use a semicolon, I am forced to give him a ten too.

****

Quaon

RP=6. You seem to have a lot of talent, but war RPs are the true measure of an RPer, and you've seldom taken a commanding role in those. Your strongest characters are still in your mind, IMHO. Take a little time to develop your talents, and you could get a ten easy.

As for writing, giving you a low score would be hypocritical, as you write no worse than me. And since I'd always give myself a ten, you get one too.

Fine, you're the boss.

And Origen hasn't really begun to develop yet. Stay tuned.

Well, I've just gotten some bad impresions of war. Before I joined here, I RPed two words: one I got my ass whupped by some God-moder who refused to take casualties (he was bigger than me and had been around longer, but still) and the other one where I was really into the war when some guys got too technical, so I just gave my forces to the command of my ally. I know a war here would be different, but I want to settle down with my nations and figure a way into a truly epic, momentious war (World War, anyone). Anyhoo, I like pre-planned wars the best, where you can make a great post without worrying about getting accused of Godmoding, or anything.

Anyway, 8 for RPing ability, 9 for writing.

I try and pre-plan wars too. Although this latest hasn't been typical for me.

You're free to give him ten if you want. But justify it. Why is he a ten? Sure he's been here a while, but would you give CE a ten?

No, he annoys me sometimes.

I would give Harumf a ten because he consistently becomes active in the greatest RPs. His characters don't always play the most dynamic part, but they always integrally change the plot as it develops around them.

Your good, but I'd like to see some variety. I kinda think that Esternarx itself should've pretty much died with the nuke attack and you should've tried something else (oh, and you should've made the American colony your "New Republic.")

May I be rated, bitte?

I shall also rate someone else.

RD.

RP: 9. He's always in on the best RPs, and he does them wonderfully, but he disappears for long periods of time, which can be very annoying, and can effect some important RPs.

Writing: 10. Quality posts. What more can I say?

I'll rate easternarx:

Writing, 6. Needs to be more creative and involved, tends to drift.
RP, 6. I don't care if your nation is 500,000, if it is wiped off the face of the earth, start over. I have taken at least 4, if not more, nations from nothing to world powers, without sitting on 6 billion people like others have. Even a small nation can be influencial!

I'm kind of curious to how I measure up on the scale. Anyone care to take a crack at it? Personally, I think I'm a solid 7. ^_^

And I'll rate.... Norightsia. :lol:

Solid 8. Maybe even a 9 RP wise. I find your RP's pretty interesting and well thought out most of the time (I'm not counting the Civil War. Even I'm finding that one confusing). Writing in general, 8 as well. Your grammar is pretty good. Spelling as well. Its always easy to read and to find exactly what the point is.

Overall: 8.5

Anyone want to do my rating? I'm pretty curious now. :rolleyes:
