When you RP with people and their posts are like fucking Shakespeare and yours are basically I CAN COUNT TO POTATO

“Oh come on, now. In terms of collaborative writing, we’re all within the realm of potatoes, as each thread is only as the average of the partnership. Besides, it’s not as though Shakespeare was any good, anyway… 

"If anything, a ‘potato person’ comparing someone else to Shakespeare is very likely an insult at best. As if to say, ‘you’re good only because you’re famous, not because I understand any part of what you were trying to do. I also don’t know enough about writing to realize that your satire is brilliant despite the overly pretentious and flowery purple prose. I believe that you have skill not because I’m able to recognize said skill, but because I have been informed by popular media that such a skill exists, thusly invalidating my compliment to begin with.’

"So you see, my fellow writers, do not be afraid to be a sparse and straight forward potato-counting journalist, and do not fear that your roleplaying partner is somehow more ‘quality’ than you simply because they have more followers, write longer posts, or confuse you with their literary nonsense that falls flat but seems impressive because of fancy window-dressing…

"The point of the matter is, poorly defined sonnets of pointless tragedy is not necessarily something we should be striving for… in essence, I would rather have the potato, which is far easier to stomach in any sense of the word.”
