How NOT to Roleplay!

[Profoundcactus]

So this being a roleplaying site I bet plenty of people have done things in rps that are just plain annoying, hell you may have even done a few of these things. (I just as hell know I'm not perfect)

I would love if you wrote this in a sarcastic tone like: Don't you just love it when you get the forums and threads up for your rp and suddenly everyone just drops out of the rp. I don't know it might be funny. Basically, this will be where anyone (including me) will be putting a collection cringy things that you and someone else has done.

Obviously, I don't want any names or any bullying of the people you are referencing to because that's not fair, we just want to keep it light hearted and fun here. REMEMBER we've all been beginners before and we all have probably done stupid things.

I'll be adding to this often as I can but I would love to see all of you rpers stories because sometimes you just go through a lot to write a good story with people.

I'm gonna post in the 1X1 search, I will list all of the pairings I want (because gods knows how can we do a 1X1 without romance! It's the closest I'll ever get to porn here at work!!!) and All the fandoms I want and will list out plots that I want you to just be a part of while I control everything. Also, it will be a neon color so that you have to highlight everything in order to read it
GOOD LUCK!​

Oh yeh, imma create an RP where imma describe some pretty danke ass OP species/races, but GODS NO, actual RPers cannot be that particular species/race. Oh look, I just made one myself, but GODS NO no one else can make that species/race. Oh oh, someone's put up a CS I have to approve - their character is said banned race, but imma accept it anyway! BANTZ -.-

Like I've seen plenty RPs where the creator has described gods and such for a bit of background, but have then specified that these cannot physically be made. If you say that RPers cannot be that particular thing, don't then go and make one/accept them. You don't have to make everyone happy. If they've chosen to join your RP then they have to follow your rules. Simple.

Boy, I love it when people make life-changing decisions about my character without my consent! Did you know what Marsha's pregnant now?! Surprise, because she is! But don't worry, this life-changing development is vital to the plot that they made up in private and haven't shared with ANYONE, so it's completely fine!

(this literally happened a year or two ago, #neverforget)

When making a character make sure that they have a super deep backstory (Dead parents are always a good idea) and it will be so deep and 2edgy4you that your character will brood in the corner ignoring all other characters trying to interact with them

Then suddenly, out of nowhere, that one special person manages to break through their carefully built, "sturdy" walls, all with a simple "howdy".

No need to build their relationships with this person! From now on these two characters will just stare longingly into each other's eyes while other characters trying to step around them.

No matter the plot of the rp the drama will only revolve around our couple is the MOST SUPER SPECIAL EVAR and if characters ignore us either of us will either get pregnant or get super jealous at another character for no reason because how dare they ignore us!!!

and of course, the pregnancies just keep coming! 14 kids? Pfffff why not fren! I'm sure any woman in RL would handle it with the same grace and "la-dee-da" personality of my woman!

 

[Easily Amused]

Don't you just love it when every character someone makes is an exact carbon copy of the previous ones with a different name tag slapped onto their foreheads? Wow, Riv, you have a tragic background with severe abandonment and authority issues? So do Alex, Claire, and boy howdy Jackson, why don't you get in on this big ol' group hug, too? How do you tell us all apart, you ask? Why, that's what the name tags are for!

Making a thread that CLEARLY goes in another section, WHAT A NOOB!

You mean like creating an introduction yet deciding HECK why not just post a partner search in the same thread JUST IN CASE

((Anyone else having way too much fun with this? While of course hating yourself for actually being most of these people?))

Because that's not at all confusing for people who may or may not be interested.

Hell while you're at you could be one of the loser who rp on DISCORD!

(god yes! I love poking fun at the little things we're all guilty of every now and again.)

HEll while you're at when posting a thread make sure that the bbc code is so blinding that anyone would have to highlight the text in order to read it. They have to work to rp with a god LIKE you!

And of course be sure to insert a myriad of hard to find tabs that hole the information people are ACTUALLY there to see...

Don't forget to include your RP rules saying what you will and won't do, even though you're gonna blatantly ignore them during the RP anyway~

SOOO many tabs! If you don't have seven tabs and block and blocks of code that it just creates a black hole in on itself then you are not searching correctly!

Your background must a picture of your favorite anime especially if it doesn't have anything to do with what you're asking if for, it will let people know that you are hip and cool.

Also if you are searching for gay or lesbian relationships plots make sure to state you are 100% submissive which is code for I want you to play the character that will push me around while my character secretly likes it.

isn't it just great when they make a complete angst backstory and their character has major mental illnesses (note this is just a realistic, modern rp about friends... not about an asylum or anything), and then their character just haha drops on the floor and cries. then they expect someone to come and help them when no one does bc everyone actually hates their character.

I love that! Coddling special snowflakes is the number one reason why I RP. Always. (and that's absolutely how mental illnesses work, wow they've got it so on point that they must have PhD hidden somewhere)

I think those said species should just be available for certain people and not "common" people or else you would have a roleplay full of those said OP species.

Also...

DON'T YOU JUST LOVE IT WHEN SOMEONE TRIES TO MAKE HIS "SPECIAL" CHARACTER THE VERY CENTRE OF THE ENTIRE ROLEPLAY AND MAKE EVERYONE ELSE OBEY TO THEM AND GET INSTA-KILLED IF THEY EVER DEFY HIS AUTHORITY? BECAUSE I SURE AS HECK HATE IT.

Masochism in a nutshell.

You can only be these races and you must pick one of these pre-defined party roles.

What, you want to create a character you might actually enjoy playing? Nah get fucked mate

Oh my god I love this thread already.

Isn't it just so heartwarming to see the front page flooded with profile comments of people nagging each other about RP posts instead of using PMs or a proper OOC thread? Especially when it's the same person posting on five different profiles in a row! Who needs subtlety anyways, am I right?
