Okay, I'm not disagreeing with you here. But I do often use "I" as shorthand for "my character that I play as and write for" both in video games and in SL. I am quite clear on the difference, because I'm not dumb and can recognize that fiction and reality are not the same thing. Mistakes do sometimes happen when speaking to people that aren't clear on the difference though, unfortunately, yes.

Oh look, you fixed your grammar this time. Congratulations. Still, your whole "That's why I'm an assassin" speech still points you out to be the kind of cringy retard that the rest of us want desperately to avoid people thinking of when we talk to non-RPers about what we do as a hobby.

I hate Sims like Vrek'Mar for its variety of avatars tbh. Most people just make pretty looking avatars and put zero thought into who their characters actually are beyond their design.
They're just a series of fancy hats put on cardboard standees of people. Pretty, but absolutely no substance whatsoever. Someone playing a regular human or a "standard" race will draw my attention ten times faster than one of these retards.

Tiefling rules were updated so you can't make them sparkledemons any more. Players who already were were grandfathered in so you'll still see them around the sim, but eventually they'll get bored so they should trickle out.

I like this way better. There's no level-based stats, no endless missing in fights and actual strategy in how you build your character.
I'm so sick of being not being able to do anything in sims because I can't dedicate 40 hours a week to RP with the same people over and over to grind up levels.

Not really. If you're standing around doing nothing, someone will usually approach you or a DM will throw a random monster at you.
They put out notices for DMed adventures and dungeon crawls often too, so there's shit to do if you're just hanging out by yourself.

I dont know why slab & co meme it. Probably because all the people in their gang never atually played a tabletop rpg, so they have to suckle up the refuse that is fantasy rpg sims on SL.
Enjoy playing with women who have no idea how the rules work and are too dumb for dice mechanics and middleaged men that are only there for pussy.

Well, what alternatives are there? TarinFAIL, ageplayer haven whose so shit that the founder/former owner cringes at vestigial association? Elysium, whose human faction is lead by a tryhard orc who murders people in the street but is still to be considered the /GOOD/ faction because the owner says so? Novus, with it's messy shitshow of a build, one absentee owner and another whose cockthirsty and bipolar who believes the embodiment of chaos ought to GIGGLE and wonders why the drow won't take her seriously? RoX who can't decide which genre it is, and is subject to being ruined by the next ho who manages to seduce the owner? Silverwind, Elements of Ezari, Revenland?
Mhirdrun may have it's share of autism, but it's better than the alternatives.

What's the dirt on a Sim by the name of Xenark?
I mad a fantasy murderhobo and dropped by. The current system is 1d100 with a few mixed stats and a flexible approach to combat.
Of course they have a shitty adult tag and a good handful of characters that just look like they're there for a fantasy fuq but the sim owners do have staff that play combative NPCs to help rouse things up every now and then.
Tell me your horror stories, /sl/.

The owner is literally-no-joke mega autistic, and any girl that shows interest in him basically runs the sim.
The sim used to have a whole different build and story, but because someone showed the owner some tiddy he completely rewrote everything and rebuilt it all to her liking.
The system there is also garbage, based off of a stolen combat HUD from DBI, which awards levels up to 80 or 90, giving anyone who's been playing there a while a massive bonus for doing pretty much nothing, making it impossible to make a new character.
The 'revisions' they made are a complete joke, making it even harder for newcomers to even stand a chance. The factions do nothing but sit in the Discords all day and plan attacks Gor/SLMC style. There's also been an influx of retards there lately because Vrek'Mar closed.
Honestly if you want decent fantasy, your best bets right now are either Revenland or Mhirdrun. Revenland is Freeform everything, few rules and Mhirdrun is more strict tabletop, so if you fuck up royally and act like an edgelord autist, expect PC death.

without a shared metric to judge the effectiveness of actions taken in certain scenarios all actions become completely subjective. what you think makes sense might not actually make any sense at all. freeform conflict boils down to who feels like losing that day.
i prefer unbiased arbitration over "now let me halt the entire momentum of this scene to spend the next twelve minutes writing a purple-prosed paragraph which describes exactly how i am able to turn this entire situation around using nothing more than this single stalk of straw and the powers afforded to me by being a half dragon half demon half human i mean obviously my character is so much stronger than your own have you not read all the entries in my picks containing my extensive lore totally not frankensteined together from bad genre fiction"
