I fall half way. I like to give my character glaring flaws and torture them mercilessly, although I suppose I tend to play this up for comedy, which some...

Larry, this is my official press-release blurb on Belligerent Mary: "...Just like all great warrior princesses, the Belligerent Mary Sue is tougher that anyone...
Personally, I'd like to see the press releases for all the Mary Sue types. Awesome! If it's alright with you, I'd like to use them on freeformrpg's, crediting...

The gist of the situation is this: Game with co-mods who all have different jobs. Enter the "bad player". The app approval mod approves something from the BP...
My first inclination? Unapprove the plagarized character and watch the BP like a hawk to make sure future characters are original. If the other mods absolutely...

To give credit where credit is due, this idea comes out of a rules light game called WUSHU. The game is very close to freeform, although it has a few dice...
