So let me give you some clarification; let's say hypothetically I have an RP where some people have posted something that misinterpreted something that happened in the RP. For instance, let's say my character gave out some information, and then another person's character came up and asked a...

I read this story and thought it sounded a lot like something I had seen before. Then I remembered I was actually in that RP. But yeah, that was one hugely disappointing moment. It was one of the first solid RPs I had been in for a long time, and the GM just had to piss it all away because he...

Okay, but I was under the impression we were discussing a system in which people actually did mention their activity level.

This idea only works if everyone's honest about it. What's stopping someone from claiming to be totally interested only to vanish without a trace anyway?

Is that the actual name they used?

I think the simplest solution would be to just to preface anything you're unsure of by mentioning that you're new and you might make mistakes. A lot of bad players won't even admit when they've done something wrong, even if it's the most blatantly bad thing they could do. If you ask people to...

@IIQueenestII You're entirely correct that a degree of forgiveness ought to be given to new players, and it's entirely reasonable to think they might do such things out of ignorance rather than contempt. However, I know a lot of examples of godmodding aren't necessarily about new players. I've...

@JPax Is that something that actually happened to you? Cause it sounds hilarious. Also, it reminds me of something similar to that; inventing details in an RP for your own convenience. I had a friend that had planned some kind of kidnapping mystery plot or something to that effect, with an...

Anyone that's been roleplaying for a good while has to have played a character that could be at least be described as slightly evil. Whether they were just a jackass that liked to mock people that walked by, or an utter degenerate that would make the devil cry, chances are you've played...

At the end of the day, the success of that character was a bit up to the good graces of the group/GM, no? I guarantee you, as cool as that scenario sounds, it wouldn't have gone so well with a less favorable lot of people around. I for one would love to see more stuff like that, but the cynic...

I guess so, but it sounds like the players are getting a little too lucky in that case. 

I haven't done any dice gaming myself, but I was under the impression that the game master was the one responsible for handing out rewards for quests and stuff. Unless I'm mistaken, doesn't it mean they have the power to stop people from getting too wealthy? I can't imagine the GM would be so...

I believe this is due to a little phenomenon called the "Korean Wave". Basically, Korean culture has gotten real popular in the last decade or two. My brother got caught up in it something fierce many years ago, and he's still bloody obsessed with it today. We have a big poster of the band...

But how does one make friends when your RPs collapse just a short distance past "Hello"?

I've never seen this happen before. Did it happen to you? Cause it sounds hilarious.

Reading this, I suddenly remembered that I have seen something like this before. In fact, it was worse; it was a less than 10 year old (6, I think) character that was not only a super child of prophecy  (and I mean ACTUAL IN GAME PROPHECY) but also possessed the mind of a serial killer from the...

Here's some dumb Japanese names for you guys; Destrushia Maindofurendo Iomaski You google the first two, you will find the asses from which they were pulled.

I've seen this quite a bit; characters that barely acknowledge the events occurring around them, as if they exist in a little bubble within the RP. The way I see it, it's usually an egotistical thing. Many characters ignore, dismiss, or scoff at anything that would usually have an impact on a...

Something to add here; initial interest barely matters. Sure, you like to see everyone say "TOTES INTERESTED BRUH" and make their sheets, but I've seen so many roleplays die in spite of a huge initial cast. What's important is retention. Getting a handful of dedicated, competent players that...

Coming off of this, I think it would be funny if a character flat out disbelieved and even mocked someone after hearing that kind of stuff. Everyman: Sure buddy, you were turned into a DEMON. Seriously, did you get this tripe from the internet or something? Whatever, I don't have time for this...
