what is your favorite thing; role-playing or coding? (whichever it is, explain why)

wow .... I don't really know if I can pick one. It would probably be coding. I like coding because I can sorta just unfold all of my problems into it I guess. Maybe this sounds weird to you guys. I know it takes a long time but I just like putting in the color codes by typing and all the rest of the codes. Darn. Maybe that's why I mess up on everything. xDDD hehe. But role-playing is really fun too. You get to just run wild with your imagination and nobody ever thinks your crazy.

I'll shut up now. c;

Hahahahaha roleplaying. I can code, but I don't really do it for fun, but just do it to make a form that works with my character, so I can keep track of them and save them for later.

what do you think of myspace's glittergraphics?

Pfff, role-playing. Anyone who has role-played
with me knows that I really don't do much by
way of coding. Sure, I adjust the size, use the
list button, and always put a little header or
whatever for my characters, but that's about
it. I'm no coder, but I am a player of roles. :3

Roleplaying; I can't code but even if I could I suspect it would still be roleplaying.
Writing is an outlet that's free from reality; it doesn't need to concern itself with my concerns and, as such, I can immerse myself in a fantasy world and characters that evoke emotions in me instead of the mundane avalanche of stress and disappointment. I can be my characters, I can engage with scenarios that go beyond all reason because writing is liberty. There's no pressure or limit to what you can do, every post is an evolution from the last and being able to read back over what I've done, what my partner's have done, is thrilling. But roleplaying, rather than just ordinary writing, is more than that. It's unpredictable, it's interactive. You don't know what's going to happen next and that element of surprise is what makes roleplaying so addictive. How you would react to a given situation is far from fun, especially after a couple of years of writing where you've come across an array of predicaments. Writing with another person and having no control over them is thrilling. It keeps me on my toes and fills me with anticipation, it's the same feeling I get before a rugby match: nerves for the performance before I begin to write; where am i going with this? will it be enough? does it give x anything to work with? should i change anything? But once you begin it's fully engaging, you can't break out of it. Each mistake hurts but it's a pleasurable pain when you catch it and righten it, even more so when your labour is rewarded with a response that, maybe it's not long or detailed, contains the heart and soul of your partner.

I couldn't hope to compare that with matching colours, really.

and yet again we can't hope to see something better explained
I mean, there's nothing to add to this and I agree wholly
especially when there's those characters that just write themselves, no matter the plan you had for them. They just go off in their own direction and to change it would be.... wrong

CODING!!! roleplaying great and all, but i find my escape to be coding. unlike roleplaying coding comes easy to me. so i'm not going to get detailed on this. my answer is coding c:

Roleplaying.
Don't get me wrong, I love coding -- more than roleplaying. But without roleplay, I don't see the reason to code. When it comes to signatures, it looks different in the preview than what it does on your posts. I mean, do the post previews do that? Yes, but it's not that drastic.
Besides, people have different computers and zoom settings. My computer is wide. Like, have you ever heard “yo mama so fat, she walked passed the TV and I missed three seasons of my favorite show”? Yeah, that's my computer ... but it's paper thin. Our school computers are tiny little things, so my coding just looks like crap on there. How do you know it will look good on other people's computers? You just don't. When you roleplay, it doesn't really matter what the post looks like. The person's responding to the content, not the coding.

A few months ago I would have said role-playing.. But I have to say coding just because i'm learning and discovering all the ways I can make it my own. There are always new ways to be creative with coding. I don't know, coding makes me feel special haha

umm, umm, umm, this is really really hard...
they're both so close together that it's almost a choice i can't make.
however, i do say that roleplaying might be a hair-length ahead of coding for me,
merely for the reason that it was because of roleplaying that jump-started my journey in coding in the first place.

i can't choose.
coding is my life. it is beautiful and i enjoy it so much. it's so pleasing to create a form/thread.
roleplaying is a work of art. for me, it requires more work, but the results make me smile uncontrollably.
so. i can't choose.
yeah.
