There's a pretty big stigma in the (non-sexually based) RPing world against "self-inserts", or identifying too much with your characters. While the linguistic and storytelling devices are the primary reason that 3rd person is preferred, there's also a traditional opposition to the notion of...

I think that following the Outlanders on some kind of mission would be more fun. ^^ Seems like it would be a shame to have this great world and then not get to explore it a little. If they had to go from place to place, searching for answers or treasure or something, that would be a great chance...

Ehhh, I don't think this issue is binary so I didn't answer the poll. Depends on the situation. For a realistic RP, a realistic picture (photograph or realistically drawn) tends to be best. But for something more fantastical, a stylized image (not necessarily anime-style) is more fitting. It...

IMHO creativity and dedication are what make a "good" roleplayer. Spelling, grammar, and posting length are much too variable and often knowing which to use is more important than anything else. A good roleplayer is dedicated to a plot in that they will see it through as long as they enjoy it...
