yes but there is no tangable diffrence that we can effect on either the how the game reacts to us or how we can react to anither player.

we can't bring some one up on excessive force charges can we? do thing other than for a bit of flavor is utterly pointless as you can't acctually go byond saying something, i't like villians being gross for the sake of it.

Gritty is fine, but thats about attitude, but no one is a really a vigilantie, we are all police sanctioned.

not really, it's difficult to maintain the illusion when the populace seem pleased with you and you have the full support of the police.

can't actually have been that bad of a vigaliantie if your rep with the police is fine can you?

it's called macroing.

you can even create buttons in your power trays.

yeah, or a need a online mod like hero stats to record the info, so say DPS record would have to be sustained for 20 seconds then repeated. and the hero stats log submitted for checking.

honestly way to easy to cheat and way to hard to authenticate.

no it's not. there are rules for each comp.

for instance the land speed record actually requires traveling the standard mile and turning it around and repeating that mile in a set time period. the average of the two runs being the new record.

you just need rules that anyone can duplicate.

always has been a bit... Flamboyant...

Shirley not!

i like to use the badges as an extra bit of discription, but thats about it.

i would say blackmail, the promise of a secret revealed would be closer to the sort of incentive you could use, certainly for heroes. as moneys not likely to be a big incentive.

you did notice how old the OP is didn't you?

if character transfer comes though i have a charater that would be interested in taking part.

well fortunately for you the how guy is on it, it might only be a weeks absence. we shall see how ever.

No you can't be aqua man ;P

but as Keener said, lots of fudges round things.

((indeed it could have been avoided by simply PMing the artical to the play that has created that bit of back ground to get details, rather than posting regardless.))

You are aware that your not allowed to start forum games here right? or indeed anywhere on the forums?

Guy, i must offer my sincerest apologies but i will have to pull out, i hope you have enough time to find a replacement.

its a very last minuet thing but i have to go Friday night rather than Saturday morning like had been planned.

Level 50 invul/SS Tanker (Cassandra) willing to come if you still have space.

it and Maxes work are all that can be, and now it has been done once, thats it.

it's not voting, it nomination.

After tripping over this part of the forum completely by accident I've been inspired to open a DevArt account and actually stick something in it!

If anyone has nothing better to do, feel free to take a gander. Be tolerant though - I havent put pencil to paper in a couple of years now - I forgot how hard it can be!

why they are really quite good.

while i have a character i am willing to RP with on defiant, she won't ever change SGs (sentimental reasons, have been in the same SG since beta)

you ain't seen me! right!

i wouldn't phear that, been meaning to for a number of years.

It's hard not to be repetitive of the many things already said here, but I'll try to throw my two cents.

First of all, being a RPer is not like martial arts. You don't earn belts because you've been doing it for long and were tested on it.

The title "veteran" is usually awarded to people who are experienced in RPing, most of the times in many media, and for that reason, they have seen and done many mistakes, and have learned from them.

Not all Veteran RPers are good RPers, but many are, because let's face it, if you suck at something but you keep doing it, you're bound to improve. Otherwise, you'll probably just give up on it.

How do you earn your "Veteran Title". Simple, you don't. Others give it to you by recognizing your worth. I've seen players who RPed for years be dismissed regularly as whiny gits, whose characters are dramallamas and aren't happy unless they're angsting about being injured, brainwashed, tortured, etc. And I've seen players being designated as "Veteran" and "Experienced" although they only had a few months of RP under their belts.

Hence, what I see as Veteran doesn't necessarily match what other people see as Veteran.

If I was asked, I'd say, yes, I'm a veteran Rper. I've been Tabletop Rping for 10 years, and I've Rped by Forum, by mail, by MSN, by AIM and also (believe it or not) by Introduction to Literature Notebook. I own about 500 RP supplements and I played with multiple settings, as well as being a GameMaster in many games, including one campaign that lasted one year.

Impressive resumé, isn't it?

I quickly realised that I couldn't impose my view of "Veteran" on others -- people calling themselves "Veteran" Rpers (such as the leader of one RP SG on US servers) turned out to be people that had never Rped outside COH, and only had been RPing since the game had started. So, I sorta started disregarding the "Veteran\Newb" title, because I also found out that people who by my standards would be called "Newb RPers", were actually rather good at RPing and that was more than enough for me.

Now, the big question is: when do I know I'm no longer an inexperienced RPer?

You really don't. It's something that comes slowly, and RPing is not a static activity. Even the greatest veterans learn a new trick every now and then (it was hell for me to actually learn how to RP in the superhero Genre), and you never really stop learning and evolving. There might come a point where you feel comfortable enough with your style and abilities that mistakes won't look as earth-shattering as they do when you first started RPing (which is often a problem with starting RPers) and you will also probably earn a measure of confidence that will allow you to engage in new situations without much forethought.
