This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

As a GM, I actually love it when players are lazy and don't make me much of a character history, just two - three sentences.

A whole lot of guns that I could throw in there. You are just a former veteran from the army? Guess what, your fighting buddy shows up with murder in his eyes, as he claims that you are a foul deserter who should be hanged, and he'll do everything he can to prove that.

Always give the GM a good character history. Being lazy with your character history is for me a signal that:

1)The player will be lazy with RPing and gaming
2)The player doesn't really care about the character.

And if the player cares so little about the character - why should I care to keep it alive?
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed
