When I was a youngun', back when the LOTR movies were still big and Return of the King was still in theaters, I joined an RP on an LOTR fansite. I went for a new RP that looked active enough to keeping going. Since most of everyone was an elf, I joined as an Orc warlord. 

After a few posts I realized that the Elf Rpers were more interested in prancing around the forest and we weren't going to really be fighting or making a story, I lost interest.
