A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying: Chaos says "Come back Sakky"

But I'm super realistic... Wah!

*Goes on a rant for three hours.*

And that's where babies come from.
If you thought I was being serious you have no sense of humor and should go star on the show: scrubs.

How many married people spend hours on end at the lab finding cures for diseases? How many more spend hours on end standing in line buying things for their kids? Enough said.

Somebody's girlfriend just broke up with him...

This guide is great! Just saying this deserves a sticky.

One: I'm not too well-informed about autism, and I didn't want to offend anybody.
Two: I've never once seen a roleplay character with autism, so there was no use in including it.

Depression, I forgot to add. I'm going back to that later.

Shade, love at first sight actually does exist. See, everybody has the image of the ideal partner for them in their head, and if they happen to meet that person, then it's known as love at first sight.

Shade, ever met a doctor whose wife was sick with cancer? Guess what he spends all his time doing.

As usual, top notch, Osaka. My personal opinion is that ADHD is often overdiagnosed, as in it's become an excuse for ordinary hyperactivity common in children and teens, but that's just me.

@Shade: While they didn't discover a cure for disease, the Curies come in mind.

Mhmm.

If anybody has any suggestions for the next sections, I'm open to them. I'm going to be covering fighting, and that's about the only idea I have. Maybe deaths or something as well.

Breaking the fourth wall? A lot of the time people forget and include things that were only known OoC. But that's not exactly the 'realism' you're talking about here, I think...

Maybe Boss Battles as a topic in section II.

Tell people not to come up with ridiculous impossible solutions to thing unless it's the point of the rp? I once saw a guy make a fishing pole from a banana, some rope, and a stick...

Deaths would be good, maybe something with characters meeting eachother?

Second the thing about deaths.
I'll put a link up in my guide. Has anyone PM'ed Chaos/SMMidas?

@Everyone: The doctor spends his time with his wife.

I've seen too many people torn apart by love, too many people ravaged by a story called Love people tell their toddlers to make them think that this world is good and that this is a good world to live in.

If you have to rely on someone or something it is a weakness. There are some reliances you can't help: air, food, water, sleep. Others-love, friendship, telling secrets-not so much.

@Osaka: I wouldn't mind writing something on how to make original/good characters or something on metagaming, if you need me to.

Never Mind.

Glitch?

I've got something which is always screwed up, but pms. I don't want to offend anybody, 'cus I'm not good with words.

Hey, Osaka. Great guide, this will probably become I reference for when I need my characters' emotions to be actually realistic instead of shallow and stupid.

Anyway, in the I-b Emotions section, under Stress... It sounded a little like the Avatar: The Last Airbender episode Nightmares and Daydreams. Can't remember the episode number... It was part of season three, right before the invasion episode(s). If you don't know what I'm talking about... Well, you did a pretty good job of seeming to talk about what Aang went through in that episode.

So, anyway, thats what I have to say.
