HE SHOOTS! HE SCOOOOORES!
Hi there. I'm assuming this is the right place to post this, so if it isn't please tell me and direct me to the appropriate place to post something like this. With that out of the way, let me get to the main point of this post which you may have already guessed by the title.
So, I'm pretty new to roleplaying in general (I've been doing it for about 2 years) and very new to RPN the site (joined in early February of 2022). I'd like to think I have enough experience though, and I know for a fact my grammar is good (I've been around the top of my class when it came to English back in high school) so it's not a matter of me being unbearable or hard to talk to. Are people turned off by inexperience? I often find myself getting super into the plotting process with someone, and it seems like we are both totally down to start something, and then boom, I'm ghosted out of nowhere. Sometimes it happens even before we actually start the roleplay itself, and sometimes it happens like right in the beginning of the rp. Also another disclaimer, I NEVER do one-liners, so that couldn't be a reason for the sudden ghosting. So, why is it when it seems both parties (me and my partner) are both clearly hyped to get started and clearly invested in the roleplay do I get ghosted out of nowhere? Does this happen to any of you or do I just have bad luck? Do people think they're like superior to me because they have more experience and don't feel I deserve their time just because I'm a relative newbie? I don't know what it is to be honest. I'm always polite and I love plotting, brainstorming, and helping out my partner so we can have an enjoyable experience. But sadly I find that I have a hard time finding a stable roleplaying partner. Sometimes a partner will go as far as to leave the Private Message unannounced and I'll only later discover that their name is crossed out and they left, sometimes in the middle of plotting! Listen, I get ghosting, but for the love of God, why don't people let you know when they are going to totally ghost you? I'd much rather have you tell me that you aren't into what ever we are doing than just leaving me ignored and ghosting me for eternity. I know this has now turned into a rant, but I was hoping to get some of your guy’s input on the matter. Does this happen to anyone else or am I just unlucky or doing something wrong? And yes, I understand people being busy, but I have definitely ran into people who straight up ghosted me yet continue to be active on the site and such.
I also want to stress that I have met a few great people who I have some good roleplays going on with, so if they somehow see this post, then know this isn't directed at you guys haha. In fact, this post isn't direct towards anyone or a group of people specifically. I'm just hoping that maybe I could get some answers from the community. Well if you actually read all of this, thank you for doing so haha.
