This is the REAL issue...  roleplay is cooperative and good roleplayers
cooperate with each other in their story development.  They understand that
the otyher player should be maste of their own story and they intrude ON
that story only with great care and sensativity.

This is a silly point. Im a human being and Im NOT fond of physical
conflict nad personal danger. Nor, i think REALLY is the writer of this. i
am fond of CHALLENGES... challenges I have a good chance of overcoming.

But if the author of the original paragraph is REALLY fond of pain and
physical conflict, i sugegst he get himself arrested forthwith.,.. he's
gonna LOVE the society inside your average state prison.

Frankly, Im beginning to believe soem of these posts are trolls and im
gonna start asking 'is this WORTH a response' before I answer to save you
all the grief.
