Endless Dreams
For those of you who GM-ed roleplays before or are GM-ing one or more now, I'm pretty sure there are times when you come across problems that you gotta deal with in your own roleplay.
One of the biggest one I personally experienced before (but is my own fault cause I didn't try hard enough to keep it up) and what others have experienced plenty too is that nobody ends up replying so you watch it just slowly die. Feel free to share your frustrations on this too, but all other types of problems are welcome. Other common problems I know is that none of the people are contributing, or too dependent on you, not listening to what you're saying etc etc. Feel free to rant all about it. I'm all ears.
What are some problems that have happened in your roleplay before that you have to deal with? How did you deal with them?
We know that when drama erupts inside the roleplay, aside from the moderators of the site itself to come solve the problem after it escalates so far, many times the responsibility falls upon you the GM (and co-GM if you have one) to solve it. Are you used to it? Still new?
How do you handle roleplayers who are not keeping up with the roleplay, or is ruining it (be it your own opinion or actually happening), and have you turned down roleplayers before they even joined, for what reasons? Do you have to kick them out eventually?
Do you consider yourself a good GM?
Personally, I am one who is still learning and growing. I'm proud that I've kept my roleplay up to ten pages so far and that it's still going. I'm fortunate to be with a group of people who don't have much problems or cause drama and are all creative with their characters and imagination and contribute to the roleplay. Sometimes it's really by chance or luck. My happiness now also reminded me of the contrast it formed with my experiences in the past when I'm still too noob to be a GM.
Share with me stories of your GM experience and any frustrations you experienced as a GM!!
(Really, I'm just bored and want to read people's experience haha.)
