You really should publish your thoughts on role play so we can prevent scenes similar to the one I am about to describe. I have been visiting other boards recently and I notice that every person needs to have the character that can stop time with his mere presence, summon the power of the gods with the mere flick of his wrist, and broadcast the mysteriousness that flutters about his being.

"My power is greater than yours," the black mage would say.

"You are a mere child, I am a god!" the white mage shall counter.

"Ha! HA! HAAAAA!!!!" the black mage would counter, "FEEL THE WRATH THAT CAUSES GODS TO TREMBLE AND TIME TO CEASE!!!!"

At which point a fireball of green haze would shoot out of his left nostril at the white mage.

The white mage laughs, "YOU FOOL!! YOU KNOW NOT WHAT I AM CAPABLE OF! (He is saying all of this while the fireball is threatening his doom) YOUR POWER IS THE POWER OF A MERE MORTAL!!! I HAVE TRANSCENDED BEYOND ALL POWER OF ALL THE GODS COMBINED!! YOU SHALL PERISH AS I SUMMON THE VERY FABRIC OF TIME AND SPACE TO SERVE MY COMMAND!!!!!!!!!!!"

The white mage would then spin three times, chant something inaudible, (remember the green fireball of death is still hurtling at him at a very rapid pace) and his skin would peel off of his skull. Thirty-five daggers would shoot out of both eye sockets and four red fireballs would shoot down from the sky. Then, he would open his mouth and swallow the green fireball of death only to turn around, bend over, and shoot it out of his arse.

Not to be outdone, the black mage would laugh in the very face of his impending doom and shout, "YOU CANNOT EVEN FRIGHTEN LITTLE CHILDREN...HA!"

And the battle would rage on and on until they both start accusing each other of "god moding."

Perhaps that is a dramatic overplay of what I have seen, but it happens.
