However, I still find it extremely rude to do so and not say something about not wanting o participate or something to say you're out.

If I gave reasons on why I wanted to drop out of RPs, then I will be hated by anyone on the site because I will tell that the truth (which could be that they cause too much drama and bullshit, it doesn't interest me anymore, and many other points). So I just don't say anything and just drop out of the RP.

Why do you care about what some random person on an internet forum thinks about you? It's infinitely worse to just disappear than to say why you want to leave. If they take offense in your reasons, then it's questionable whether they are worth the time and effort of roleplaying to begin with.

My complaint this time is directed at myself. After not believing in the negative stereotypes of roleplayers and believing myself impervious to them, I am now convinced that they exist and that I can fall victim to them as well! Feels great, actually; much easier to identify and avoid them now that I've seen them in action.

It drives me insane that there are seemingly dozens of people on the site that simply float around and state interest in RPs without ever joining any. Their activity histories are a handful of interest check posts spanned over three months. One could argue that some of them are just making comebacks recently, but almost every RP I have started has had at least three such people with the same background. They artificially inflate the amount if interested users, so, believing it's appropriate begin the roleplay in earnest, I make an OOC that only ends up with a small handful of members. I have to repeat the recruiting process, but more desperately this time since the ship is barely staying afloat and it's infuriating. If you're going to be a Roleplayer Guild member, ROLEPLAY!

To which stereotypes are you referring? Now I'm interested in this as a topic, as I'm sure we all notice different trends and a multitude of complaints here come from people picking out the ones they don't like, but it's always fun to see what someone perceives as a stereotype versus another.

And Prisk, why would you avoid somebody that disappears? We all here to roleplay after all, so why would you reject someone because, they do an action that you don't like?

I get annoyed by the amount of bad GMs I seem to run into. They either leave the RP to die after a few posts, or I guess they just don't live up to my standards of how a GM should be. I don't think I've that high standards either really. I kind of wish I was better at telling who is a good one before I join an RP.

People who don't post for an entire week with next to no explanation why or forenotice. I once had a girl;s sister tell me she was in the hospital for some broken bones at one point. The point being if YOU can't then ask one of your friends to log onto your account and tell the GM and people you're leaving or you're not able to post. People who don't post leave notices always IMMEDIATELY go on my shit list.
