But I don't mean they sound smart; in fact, I find when people try to speak with forced, neo-medieval formality during regular conversation it just makes them sound awkward and tryhard. When you a person tries to sound intelligent and it isn't natural, it's just as bad or worse as when a person just doesn't sound intelligent in the first place.

Seriously, "I do not live to serve you, fool?" Who do you think you are, the 21st century evil Lancelot?

Also, on a different but related note: the fact that almost all IC leadership characters sound the goddamn same. Just because your character is the new court advisor doesn't mean he's suddenly going to change his vernacular to constipated-peacock. Yeah. I know someone who rp'ed with me and my friends. He/she played a snooty, smart noble/commander. After he/she went ooc, he/she acted like a total jerk, just like the character. Degrading me and my friends for doing things wrong. (By wrong, I mean not the way he/she wanted)
