Knowledge doesn't mean upset.
(2 posts)-
I run into this time and again. I suggest someone looks something up, OOC because they either say they do not know it, need to know it, or some other reason that its a suggestion, or I explain some historical fact. This doesn't mean I am screaming, upset, or anything more than knowledgeable. If someone going "Here is this fact" means to you that they need to "Take a chill pill" or "Cool their jets" then maybe you should learn something you want to RP instead of not. Maybe. Maybe not. Not every conversation about knowledge is one that has everyone upset. Basic passion is not upset. Basic knowledge is not upset. If every time someone who knows something seems to upset you? Maybe you're insecure. I don't really know. A part of me does not care but, I do not need to chill, cool my jets, or otherwise not know things. If you ask a question and I answer it, and this isn't to your liking? Next time Google.
Legos is huge, this means tons of people with a variety of knowledge. We're at least from my perspective expected to have basic facts. Doctors didn't all know about germs at this point, germ theory was knew for example. So no rubber gloves, we're supposed to know that. If I correct you, which is rarely something I will do, it sbecause you should know and if you don't my goal is to help.
I haven't gone IC for almost a week because I am sick, doesn't mean Iam not talking to people. So why don't you go learn what your own character should know, and then you won't get corrected.

A good character is born from good research. The only way an actor can truly portray a convincing being is by knowing something about the subject. It helps to method act.
Alas, there is also the fact that virtual world acting is still very "text based". Although we act in a 3D environment, it still lacks that context that is simple to understand in real life. The little twitch of the nose, the eyes, the face as a whole, is very blank in a virtual world. Therefore, we have to portray our "emotions" in a textual form. This is the hardest thing to do and writers throughout the ages have never achieved a perfect solution.
To this end, all we can do is "take it with a pinch of salt", and just read what we see with no emotion. Just pure logic.

RP Long and Prosper.
