P2 – Plain + Predictable.

When Pipsqueak 1 was released, my main problem was that absolutely all the dialogue was the same. These dialogues, the phrases that ALL the characters used, were incredibly annoying. Now with Pipsqueak 2 even my chatty and shy character, who Pipsqueak 1 played so well, doesn't talk at ALL. He was rambling, why stopped? Ah yes, Pipsqueak 2. Better version.

I can't say Pipsqueak 2 is absolutely terrible. It's actually very poetic, using a variety of rarely used words, This makes the roleplay very romantic (romantic in the context of "dreamy", not "loving"). I love it.

But I'll be honest, it's been treading water and for the last few days that we've had it, I've been quitting the site every three minutes instead of roleplaying. The lack of a coherent plot and dialogue makes this process unbearably boring, despite the beautiful words.

Of course, Pipsqueak 1 and Pipsqueak 2 have something in common. Namely, they still repeat the same patterns. While the first version had repetitive dialog patterns, the second version has repetitive description patterns (that is, describes all the scenes in the same way).

These are my thoughts on the new model. For me, it's neither better nor worse, it's just a change in direction. What are your thoughts, and what pros and cons have you encountered using it?
