Come on! Don't I get a roll?

OK. It's rant time.Though I have never taken part in this internet pastime of screaming angry feelings in a livejournalsque expression of suburban middleclass angst that no one actually cares about. So what's a better way to go about entering this world of trolls and troll bait, than by posting a rant about roleplaying drama.

A recent session of Exalted ran by a friend of mine ended in tears in no figurative meaning of the word. And not the good kind of, hey that game was so incredibly awesome kind of tears, or the I can't believe that character died kind of tears. It ended in the "I am so disturbed by the way that game happened that I feel like talking about it with non-geeks on the subway about it in the hopes that someone will give a shit.

So just so everyone understands just how important roleplaying drama is, I have made a chart of things people get upset about. 1 being the most valid and 10 being the least valid.

1. Nuclear war. Boom the world is dead.

2. Horrific crimes. Murder, grand theft, arson.

3. Infidelity. Cheaters never prosper, but in the words of Jimmy eat world "Cheating gets it faster."

4. Communism and Fascism. "Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff"- Frank Zappa. Facisms great, if your a fascist...

5. Naruto and Narutards. I like Akira, but I don't go around wearing a big red cape. Though I suppose wearing a metal headband will come in handy when I decide to shoot paint balls at you while your trading pokemon cards in the cafeteria at your art school.

6. Someone bumping into you and not apologizing. Hey! Jerk...

7. Someone bumping into you and apologizing. Alright, just look where you're going next time.

8. Role Playing drama.

9. Someone being wrong on the internet.

10. Internet roleplaying drama.

So in the end it is less important to be angry about roleplaying drama, than it is to be mad at someone that bumps into you and apologizes. Though it is more valid than anything on the internet.
