He was right actually, when I first got here, I felt like a lot of people weren't really right out rude, but just kinda feeling superior when talking to new people, instead of just keeping the community friendly. This is only a few people, not everyone, so please don't start asking who because there is no need to go into those kinda details. I'm merely stating an observation of mine.

I agree with Pan. Arrogance is overrated. I am arrogant, but not to extremes. Anyways, back towards several earlier comments...

D&D? Hm... well, it is a so-called 'RPG'... Although I hate to seem rude, the only thing it has to do with this site is the dragons that'll get shoved up your ass ;) And to tell the truth? Those things hurt. More than unicorns (which is saying a lot).

Too bad the joining topic was closed for me to school this guy, but this thread isn't... So get ready.

Okay, first of all, stop feeding all that bullshit that you're writing in First Person. When you write as a first person narrative, you ARE there, right beside Gohan and Cell when you see them in combat. That is not what roleplaying is about, it is about creation, and when you write in third person that is when you are creating. Simply put, you are the god of your roleplay, you control everything around it, the background, and the characters.

The reason we don't use. "And Gohan said 'You're all idiots'" is because it is grammatically incorrect. The right way would be...

"You're all idiots," he mumbled.


And the funniest of all, you just owned yourself.

Quote:
 
Speech in a first person narrative differs from speech in second or third person views. In a first person narrative, the narrator is often the main character and can hold conversation in both present and past tense depending on if he is narrating, or acting his part within the story. He may be recalling a spoken statement from another character without beginning a new paragraph, and in many cases entire conversations can take place in a single paragraph. This however, is not always the case in second person narratives, and is never the case in the third person.


Like I said, MLA is a style of quoting someone... Not a way to start dialogue. And with that, I've concluded that you are in fact, an idiot. I rest my case.

If you want to continue arguing with me about language, I won't mind. But just so you know, I won't go google shit up, because I don't need reference to back up my point. I actually KNOW my stuff.

Paint is a horrible utility to attempt to make signatures in. You are destined to fail from the beginning.

This topic is as toxic as the other one i posted and got totally reamed in.

close it.. delete it.

all anyone is doing any more is bitching about sentance structure and composition.

MLA
APA
APP

All but APP allow for conversation mid paragraph in narratives, because APP is an annotative note taking.

ARGHH!!!!! -headdesk-

Every single damned thing i have ever read when it comes to MLA is that it is used for quoting a person or a passage in a book. I have never ever, heard it referenced as a way to write a novel, and I'm wondering if I'm missing anything, but surely my English teacher would not have left this bit out?

Pan, what you're thinking of is how to set up a bibliography or reference page using MLA. Which MLA happens to be the most common standard.

MLA is a universal writing composition system that in corperates different writing aspects to develop a "clear and easily understood paragraph and sentance structure"

Another common system that is closing in on a standard of writing is APA, which is a bit more confusing in the overall uses, but does give us the perfect "5 paragraph essay" standard format.

Those two formats are the most common, and I grew up with MLA. Most people who grew up later than I did, had a combination of MLA and APA and those who are going through grade school and up currently are learning APA.

Its almost as confusing as why America developed the "American ("standard") Measures" versus the "Metirc System."

I hope that helps clear it up a little bit.

I cannot bring myself to believe you considering your syntax and semantics are out of whack, not to mention you are unable to spell certain grade school words correctly.

I also just did a search (via internet and the documentation I have kept from grade school/high school), and APA is just another way of documenting your sources. So I have no idea what you're talking about....

When editors or teachers ask you to write in "APA style," they do not mean writing style. They are referring to the editorial style that many of the social and behavioral sciences have adopted to present written material in the field

I do not want to escalate this further. All I want to say is, you are actually stupid. Contradicting yourself twice, and you still won't give up. The more arguements you come up with, the more stupid you sound. If you want to debate over this though, you can PM me or drop me a message of AIM.

Steer clear that I am not an active RPer on this RPG, and trust that you won't have to deal with me if you join the game. Just know that, continue acting the way you do and people will be lining up to argue with you. Take what criticism you get, and live with it, use it, absorb it, and get better. Otherwise, you're just a dillhole.

On a side note, if you still want to get back at me. Prove me wrong. Make sure that I won't have anything to say back to you the next time you post something.

a writing style is a person's own signature style. hence style.

take everytime i said MLA or APA "style" as a form of composition and format. Thats all it is. It is a form in which to structure your work. thats all.

annnnd! Why can't I spell certain grade school words correctly? Two reasons. I am slightly dyslexic.. usually when it comes to words with double letters... and I don't proof what I read. I get the main point of what I want to say out and then I don't look back.

I'm a 3D modeler/animator and Graphic Designer... not english major.. but all of you are so good at it, I don't have to worry about it because everyone will be here correcting every step.

We're not your editors, we aren't going to do that, and I hope you are aware that you are awarded RP credits for how well you write, that means you have to proof yourself, we ain't gonna do it for ya. I just hope if you are accepted (doubtful at the moment) that you use Microsoft Word for each post you make. Either that or use the embedded spell checker you get with Firefox.

You don't HAVE to be an English major to write well.... Argh, y'know what, I'm just going to be quiet and see Pikkon's decision when you make a new join form...My head is going to explode if I continue to interact with you.
