I, for one, have heard so many unofficial defenitions of 'twink' that it is hard to distingush the real from the made up. Of course, the most popular of these is "Someone who Roleplays bad". This is not only an extremely broad defenition of the word, but also one that would fall under almost every other furre besides the user of the word, considering everyone has their own unique way of Roleplaying. What does it take to be 'bad' at Roleplaying? Simply not doing it the way you do.
Now, unlike most people, I looked at the official defenition of the word before I started throwing it around. For those that dont know, the people that run Furcadia were nice enough to provide us with an official defenition. The general idea of a 'twink' is "Someone that purpously breaks RP rules". So, one that is 'bad' at Roleplaying isnt nessecarily a twink, unless they are doing it in an attempt to be annoying.
The general argument in this matter is that guns go against the intended Medival setting of Furcadia. Thus, gun users break the RP rule by going against this Miedival setting established by the makers of this game. However, I say again "Furcadia is intended to be in a Medival setting". This is not a rule. This is not regulation. It is simply a guideline. Therefore, when using a firearm, there is no rules being broken. Therefore, guns do not fall under the defenition of twink.
People can catagorize guns in this catagory due to the difficulty in dodging bullets and the fast speed that they can be redied. Again, I agree that even good modern Roleplayers cant avoid powergaming with a gun. It is tough to deal with their speed and power. However, some of the better modern Roleplayers I know treat guns more like a move than a weapon, I being one of them. When a Medival Roleplayer uses a powerful move, such as a large fireball, they must dedicate a few turns to preperation. In turn, these prepped moves can legaly be large, powerful, and maybe unblockable. The same goes with firearms. Due to their unique, powerful nature, a good Roleplayer spends several turns making their weapons ready to be more fair about their use. More about how Roleplaying with guns is located in the next section.
