Well friends, time to write a bio about myself, some of you might think...

... or not ? No, seriously, I am not much a fan of written stories about characters. Afterall, you don't just post the story about your life somewhere but rather speak to your friends privately when you see it fit into the situation. And RP wise it's alot nicer to learn your friends ingame anyways, allowing for a nice evening with a six-pack or two of your favorite ale while sitting at a lake during sunset.

As result, I shall not provide much more information here. You will learn to judge Tigrim from his actions and get to know details during the time anyone of you meets him. The story exists in my mind and shall be revealed to all those who I meet in my travels, if there's a proper occasion to speak about it.

P.S.:
As result from this view, I honor the effort which people put into writing stories about themselves, but I never read them. Tigrim doesn't read memoirs anyways.

We know each others in game.
These topics are to show strangers who we are and I wouldn't call it worse kind of RP.

Eh sorry if you took it like that, but I don't think I said anything like it at all. Instead I tried to make people understand how my own view on things is and why I don't post a story. As always in RP-stuff, everybody is entitled to his/her own way of doing it and I am not the one to argue about style or taste. I apologize if this wasn't clear enough.

No worries.
Communication sometimes sucks, especially between dwarves and other races Wink

I appreciate your views, and understand them. I had similar thoughts about the character bio thingy when us moderators considered how it should be done. For me it represented a chance to really nail the character down. It's a whole different deal to think your character's backround, views and quirks in your head than really putting them into words (almost wrote 'to pen and paper').

RP-wise these could be considered 'rumors'. You may know alot about a person before even talking to them. I have to admit that I for one went far and beyond what could be considered a 'rumor' when writing the bio. But I did it for me, cause the stuff just kept coming. Eventually every character will be judged how we act in the RP situation, and if you wanna go to that situation 'fresh', I have nothing but respect for you.

Though talking in the kinship channel affects your opinions about the people and hence about the characters also, whether you want it or not. The lonely way of taking it totally fresh would be to shut all channels off and never reading anything about the game from forums and such. And then learning the skills and tactics by themselves and talking to other players in RP only. I don't think there are many to commit themselves in such way. We all have to choose the road how we approach the game, and in connection to that; it's each person's individual choise to read these bios or not.
