I am in agreement to interest checks that often include nothing more than "I would like to roleplay". I would love to know what you're interested in. I think I've said here before that things like this tell me you want me to do all the work in the roleplay and you'll take a passive stance. And I...
This is a weird one, but my pet peeve/irk of the day is application or advertising threads that don't include the plot of the roleplay they're taking apps for or advertising. And it forces me to click around to find the main thread and read everything, or click around to find a discord. I'm not...
I could write a novel on the above topics but I'll keep us on track.
If you want to ghost a 1x1 roleplay? Fine. Life comes first. It's just me. You aren't hurting my feelings. I totally understand if life grabs you by the braids and swings you around like Ms Trunchbull did in Matilda. It...
I'm sorry I know we aren't supposed to quote things but my jaw is on the damn floor and I can't pick it up. You entered a roleplay and the character you were playing against just...came out the gate racist? No warning at all whatsoever? Not even hinted at? I trust that's true I'm just like...how...
I don't believe in posting orders and deadlines, but I do think there should be some respect in regards to the other players. I started up a group RP with the friends I usually do groups with. It started around the time I had contracted the vid and was not able to do any work on my characters or...
I mean, I'm just basing the assumption off of my time being in charge of optimizing search engine results for companies. In some threads you'll see people lay out exactly what they want and then simplify it with a word bank. My brain just goes to "I want this to show up in a search if people are...
Everyone has incredible points as to why mobile friendly or accessible versions of your search thread should exist.
Today my pet peeve is word banks. And not just like, "Here's all my ideas but I'm added a bank at the bottom so this thread populates in a search". But people who say they want...
It's that time again where I beg all of you perusing this thread to stop writing interest checks in 7pt font without an accessible version. Or just put it in a legible font. I'm happy you have 20/20 vision and can read it. I cannot, and will most likely nope the heck out of your thread and hit...
I know I know this thread doesn’t allow for quoting but I wanted to piggyback off this statement. Two reasons why I will only do group roleplays with people I know
1. I am tired of cliques where everyone else knows each other and I’m on the outside getting treated very differently.
2. A...
I'm legally obligated to post it here whenever it happens.
I'm begging you to stop using 5pt font when making your searches. You might not be blind and I love that for you but some of us are. And when you don't offer an accessible version it aggravates me to no end.
Onmyoji, I have the same exact issue. These last few weeks I've tried desperately to keep up with writing with people. And it seems like right when I want to catch up, I just can't. Because something happens irl that requires my attention. And then I have to disappear into the void and explain...
I feel compelled to post this here every time I see it in hopes that maybe some of you will make the change.
I'm once again asking to either make an accessible or mobile friendly version of your search thread. Your blinding, neon, size 8 font with various ombres makes it impossible for me to...
This is a huge part of my ADHD, it's "decision paralysis". It's my brains inability to prioritize something, start the task, and complete it. This happens with just about anything from making dinner, doing laundry, and yes, even which RP I'll reply to or what things I want to RP. It's a huge...
I consider a partner has ghosted when the roleplay has started, and they haven't spoken to me IC or OOC in at least 6 months. I agree with the above statements that "ghosting" had kind of gone from "You leave the RP with zero notice and I can't reach you" to "I saw you rt something on twitter...
I have a lofi playlist of popular music I put on when I work or write. I can't listen to loud music with lyrics doing either of those things. Too distracting for my ADHD brain. I'll never get anything done.
My own? Absolutely. If one was really good and we got kind of far, I'll sometimes archive it in a google doc to read again. I don't really go out of my way to read someone else's RP. If the 1x1 or group populates in a search I do, I might peek (seeing if a person is still active, checking...
I think having a basic role and maybe a short descriptor is fine in group RP settings, and even in 1x1's where it might call for it (I see a lot of Muse A and Muse B type plots where the setting is kind of laid but there's still wiggle room). Anything beyond that is a turn off for me personally...
I swear its different on every website too. Some places I've roleplayed, people want these long introductions and every idea you've ever had. Some just want you to get right to the point. It's different everywhere you go I feel.
The most I would ever do for someone is play a character with their desired face claim. If they have a certain personality or traits or story tidbits in mind I'll take it into consideration. But if someone has already built the character for me to play it feels weird to me. I sometimes feel like...
