Stop calling them toons

[Paladin]

Honestly, I only see people use toons when they are describing their entire set of alts and than just refer to themselves when they have 1 character.

Really the person who uses toon to describe there Avatar/Character is a gamer that has multiple created PC's (player Characters) in the game and spends no real time on any one specific PC. Where as me I refer to my PC as my character often times referring to it by name or "me" I usually do not have a second or more characters and devote all my time while online to that one PC.

I would think having say 3 "Toons" as they call it means they have three PC's that they have divided leveling exp among so lets say you are level 300 ego or whatever they are prolly level 100 on all three. You have SMG level 5 they prolly have level 2-3 on all three though each one is specific to one weapon style.

In the long run I would say These toons will be inferior to those that refer to the PC as a avatar or character and take pride in the development of there said character. I could be wrong and reading to much into the sociology and psychology of a game lol

you just hit it on the head. "Toons" are never as good cause they get less time and care I always use person and most of the time they look like me i don't make a new one unless I mess up and it can't be fixed or I max out no one needs six or eight diff characters for one game cause none of them will amount to the one that a single pc player will have

Anyone who disrespects another player and tries to dictate how they should play the game is simply wrong, period.

Everyone's stating by calling your character a toon you're stating its inferior. It's all personal preference, albeit an incorrect use, it's still however they want to call it. It doesn't matter what you call it but from what I've seen in the majority when people are describing their multiple alts they call them toons, doesn't mean they are inferior, it's just said because it lets you know "oh they put time in multiple pcs". Rarely do I hear people call their character "character" when they only have 1, it's usually referenced in 1st person such as "I" or "me"

I don't mind, call 'em what you like

[Amnesia]

Yes, people can call them whatever they want---I'll know what they mean.

Personally, I call them "characters"...

I'm stating its inferior simply because a group of alts "toons" can't be as strong as a single pc in the same givin playtime. Not that the people are inferior. Please read before you go agro
