I swear, wolfspeak is just another way for people act and sound smarter and act higher than the rest of people. I mean... I get the fact they wanna be unique, but when you sound like an 8-year old with a list of made-up words to sound like a 17-year old who read a dictionary over and over and over again... just... wow. I mean, the fact that most wolfspeakers call themselves 'literate' really ticks me off, since the fact they are NOT, and I mean NOT, literate WHAT-SO-EVER if you use made-up words in a paragraph. It's like saying 'the byuia fuweio hufwe fewiiwjm anipa an,jek ah ahujk'. e-e I mean... I'd say a wolfspeaker is more illiterate than a chat/text-speaker, not to mention that they are both pretty much put into a category the same place of each other. Fact is, I'd say as far away from a wolfspeaker as I can, unless they are my friend. But still, I despise all wolfspeaking. And some day, I'm gonna tell they they are grammatically incorrect, and illiterate. Sure, they capitalize the letters, but made-up words? Please, I'd rather roleplay with a text-speaker... And the fact that you have to post 3 paragraphs just to do something so simple, like SITTING DOWN?! That's absolute nonsense.You do have a point, but you have to realize that most wolf-speakers are like ten at the least, thirteen or fourteen at the most. I'm not going to disclose my age, for the fear that people are going to act biased against me, but whatever. It is illiterate and wrong, but we all start somewhere. I remember roleplaying on WolfQuest, Furcadia, IT, etc... Oh god, it was horrible. Everytime I think about it I cringe xD. It does bother me a lot, but I tend to just go into a private map or work on a private map.
If I was a WolfSpeaker, I'd be very ashamed. And for these reasons.
1) Wolfspeaking is just another way to act literate and smart and be like a show-off.
2) It is nonsense and grammatically incorrect, and does NOT mean it is literate.
3) It's literate, and is worse than chat-speak. Chat-speak can be understood.
4) It's idiotic, and I feel should never exist.
In my mind, I usually say
'Have fun roleplaying as an illiterate, ungrammarly, pompous wolfspeaker with a fake dictionary.'
I agree with you. I believe there is no "correct" way to roleplay, it's just bothersome sometimes. Sometimes it's ridiculous and illiterate, but hey, if they like to RP like that, it's their choice. My only suggestions to the people who RP like this is that they use these words in figurative language instead of as synonyms for simpler words. It would make so much more sense! You have to give them credit though, at least they are trying to expand their vocabulary, unlike the other inhabitants of Bonfire (lmfao)((There is no room for arguing on this thread. Everyone's makes mistakes, everyone's human, so do not burst. Kthnx.))
Just, I don't like wolfspeak at all. In my opinion, it's illiterate. That's all.
As that is Their Opinion.
Umm..
Wolfspeak isn't the "correct" way to roleplay. The correct way to roleplay is to have a scene of action that everyone can understand, ether if it's words or actions. For example, the stereotypical young TLK roleplayers at Bonfire who say stuff like "pushs zira of clif no mis" are not roleplaying right. Most wolfspeakers are not correctly roleplaying because they are trying too hard to be smart (and being very rude while they are at it), and is using words that the common man most likely will not understand. It's likely not even George Washington or Shakespeare will understand "wolfspeak". A correct way to roleplay is like Hackers.'s rp sample.Pardon me as I say, I did
NOT
say WS was THE correct way to RP.
When on earth did I say that?
However, it is A correct way, due to the fact that, by the looks of this thread, we know what they mean.
If we agree or not with their words is another problem.
RPing as a whole is, in my mind, just typing a bunch of stuff to say what your character is doing or acting.
This thread PROVES that we CAN understand wolfspeakers, and therefor, it IS a proper way to RP.
Though, at the same time, completely wrong due to word choice.
As stated above me, words are unrelated to their use, but do we understand their point?
YES.
So therefor, they ARE RPers.
You cannot say it isn't a way to RP, because it obviously IS.
And those TLK RPers are RPing too, we can understand what they're doing, they can understand it.
As long as that's true, it is an RP.
And '...are not RPing right.' Erm, yes they are.
That is how they RP.
Being Literate is not THE way to RP, as you seem to of ment.
Just take a drop by any forum RP area, and you see.
People RP like that there, it isn't just FH.
People also RP literately.
Sorry for my forever-long rant here, but it's true. >:|
Also:
I am in NO way supporting the idea of WS.
I am just trying to back up my previous point.
And I have to say I agree with you.
+Floof for you, M'Dear.
