Hum, there are a lot of good qualities to this game, and very little bad qualities (atleast, to me, if you think otherwise, that's your opinion and I respect that). Of course, that comes with everything, hm~?
Likes:
- The flexibility of characters. Almost every character can interact with another and still have a flowing role-play; whether it be fighting, befriending, or any other interaction.
- How I'm able to freely express myself. I love, love it when people are so open to me (even though I might not approach with that sense of feeling, I eventually open up in due time), and actually want to talk to me without me feeling judged or disliked. I can shout (not literally shout, though. -small laugh-) what I love to them, whether they like it or not, and will either have no clue what I'm talking about, respect my opinion, or they enjoy it too.
- All the creativity! Sure, there are younger children on here who just want to fit in (but that's another thing I'm about to list) on here and make the stereotypical cub routine, with either that they killed their parents or that their parents died in a horrible way (which, I'll talk about in a moment as well). But, if you're like me and have too many characters to count, and like to make everything - from markings to personality and so on - from scratch and completely different (or maybe not so different) from their other characters.
- People who don't want to fit in, who don't want to live up to the "stereotype" of FeralHeart. I love people like that. I absolutely love people like that! People who see something that they enjoy and morph it into something else they like (me with my gaybie pirate and bird-man) and make it their own are my favorite.
- The people I've been allowed to call all my own. Of course, I don't mean like children or slaves or anything of the sort, but like friends even best friends. Now, I have really bad social anxiety (I can't order anything in person, and I'm terrified for my life as it doesn't seem to be clearing any time soon) and have very little friends due to this in real life. My social anxiety makes me feel pressured to speak in Local or any other public discussion, but I made friends on here. That blows my mind sometimes. How someone from so far or so close - a living person - decided to make friends with me.
Dislikes:
- People who happen to be really mean. Why do people think it's okay to be mean? To them, it's probably "only a game", but there are real people on the other side of that screen that you're talking to. Not NPCs.
- Territory claimers, mate-beggars, and godmodders are the worst. This one's pretty self explanatory.
- People who make fun of others for their literacy. I know the feeling of not being able to join a role-play because I was either "too literate" or "not literate enough". I used to have less literacy than a rock, I'm telling you. I couldn't form a sentence for my life. But here I am now, and I'm glad to not be so strict. (However, if you come see one of my role-plays, I do like it if I can read it, so they're normally literate but with some semi-literacy. I know, I'm a hypocrite.)
- People that purposely try to "fit in". First, I wanna get something off my chest: online and offline, you're you, and you cannot fit in with anyone but yourself - and that's not to be mean. No-one can fit in with anyone besides themselves. Secondly, why fit in anyway? What's so wrong with sticking out? I love to stick out, and I love people that love to stick out.
- The feline model. I'm not to big on the feline model, actually. I have very little felines within my characters (only two are actual lions, and the rest - there's like five left - are just warrior cats). I don't know why I dislike the feline model, as they're basically the exact thing from the canine model, but as a feline (obviously).
- The "stereotype" of FeralHeart. There is a thread on here that talks about this, but I want to drag it here to give it the 99.99% dislike guarantee seal of Wolfie_Lover - which can be pretty hard to get. You might know what I'm talking about. Roughly one-third of FeralHeart want to "fit in" and make pretty overused characters ("emo" characters, ones with over-exaggerated personalities, etc.) and another third would be bright and in-your-face. The last third would happen to be those happy to stick out (not like neons, as they're more trolls than happy if anything), such as myself.
