I've done some roleplaying away from here lately and I've got a fun new one now. Really tired of being the odd man out. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect a single person to have their character drop all their initial plans to have the topic revolve around whoever I throw in. Yet when you're in...

@Merkurial Yup yup. I believe you had the handle of uh...Tarquin, if I recall correctly? Was such a bummer, so much potential there flushed down the drain for nothing. I'm attempting to get into a few again but I'm trying to keep my expectations incredibly low now. Probably for the best. Would...

@AThiefOfSpades It was. That seriously hurt my feelings. People need to keep in mind that there are individuals behind these accounts. Just try talking to them to see what's up instead of flying off the handle like that.

There was a roleplay I joined based on a particular fandom a while back. Shared elements with the series but was an entirely original setting and cast. Everything was thought out extremely well and presented adequately. The GM really had a way of painting a picture with words, and the characters...

1) What is justice to you? An extremely subjective view of what may be considered "right", and often dictated by the masses. I feel it does more harm than good in most cases, but to speak generally it's punishment of nefarious intent. 2) What is victory to you? Overcoming a difficult challenge...

About bed time for me so apologies if my thoughts are a bit scattered. Wanted to go ahead and chime in here. Will come back later and continue more clearly. A) I think that having a main focus of "identify the cause and return home" is fine, but anyone acting as a GM should try and engage in...

Clay dolls. Characters that are so bland and lacking in personality because the writer is afraid of not being the center of attention that they purposefully drain them of all interesting quirks aside from a boring trope so as to prevent them from ever making any enemies in-character. Often...

@RegalWindstar Nah, I understand. Can't say I agree with it but it's a personal feeling. Like I said, perfectly valid. For me, I'm the type of person who loves cringe. I want to see friendships fall apart. I want attempts at romance to fail either immediately or very slowly. This is mainly...

Yeah, this really bugs me too. Most of the time that's all I really see - not their backstory (aside from "bullied cuz gay"), profession, personality, beliefs, faults. "Gay" isn't the defining trait of a character, and if it is then you've written them poorly. I mean, I have no problem...

Never recycle characters, no. Face claims and names are about as far as I go but they're always written up specifically for the roleplay. Worth the extra effort, but makes it suck that much more when a topic dies.

I just want some decent romance. Embarrassed to post it here because of all the cringe stuff around the forum with these already. Still. I'm tired of blowing up, mentally destroying, and maiming my characters for once. I don't want a fine steak. I just want a greasy, artery clogging burger.

This annoys me so damn much. Why do you even have an application there when you're just going to accept any tripe that gets posted at all? Double disgust points if it says something about their "mysterious past" or amnesia. Whatever, you're just lazy and don't want to bother with a backstory.

This has happened to me twice. My name is pretty common due to...well, The Beatles. I'll hold back on the details of that since explaining would narrow too many things down, but it's certainly a coincidence I find amusement in. Makes me take a special interest in the character. Always curious to...

I wouldn't worry about it. Never going to go so far as to identify them as I don't wish to start drama, but I only have three people on mine as of now. They really had to earn those spots. If someone is making notes for dozens upon dozens of different members then you might get tossed into...

@Play On Words Sounds about right. To be fair I'm partially to blame for some of my experiences. My circumstances in life have shifted around a bit since joining and left me with less free time than I'd like, and a lack of energy has prevented me from really challenging myself in a lot of topics...

Yup. Usually the one I'm really invested in is also the one that implodes horribly too. It's a good thing I'm not gambling man or I'd be homeless with that kinda luck.

Villains driven by a single ambition have to be carried by raw charisma though. Seen that fall through plenty of times. When it's done right, like Dio, it's excellent. I really love the trope of a once fearsome enemy turning out to be nothing more than a child throwing a tantrum. Someone who...

Please don't take a group roleplay and hijack it for your personal 1x1 romance. Please. Stop already. I'm not a great writer and I don't have the energy to even challenge this any longer since it's everywhere but you can just as easily take this to the 1x1 forums or a private message. It adds...

Oh look, it's an interest check for that fandom that you like. That really light hearted thing. Excitement rising. Days pass. Seems like it'll be a pleasant experience. Topic goes up. Someone immediately rushes in and forces their brooding OP teenager with a billion powers and abilities...
