I really hate it when I join a RP and everyone's posting at a mad speed, but after 1 day all of a suddenly everything stops. no more posts, one day ago a RP I was in went like a page a hour and it was awesome, but all of a suddenly everyones just GONE

That's just hype, homie. It diminishes.

I can't tell you of how many times I ran an RP that slowed down. It's just that hype dies down, people get bored of their characters, or they have other commitments.

@elfenlied123 always check your other RPers how there posting schedule is.

One thing that annoys me is when an RP is just full of supermodel level, perfectly flawless, characters - especially in "realistic" roleplays. Diversity? Realism? Nope! Just make the thirtieth uber-hot character in the same roleplay! It's annoying levels of escapism, and it's honestly what keeps me away from certain RPs sometimes. I roleplay to create interesting stories, not beauty-pageants. lol

Don't get me wrong, it's okay to have a hot character. It's fine when it isn't their only character trait, and there's some diversity. I make some "hot" characters - though I normally just leave it up to interpretation of the reader tbh because the idea of "handsome/pretty" changes from person to person - if it works with their character (Such as a seductress/assassin/spy I'm running in an RP of my own who uses her attractiveness to sway people to do what she wants). But, I certainly give them flaws.

Scots?

@VKAllen no not scots. Bots are invading again.

I am starting to be done with the NRP section. When I am interested in a roleplay, it either dies out or the owner just disappears for no reason at all. In one of those roleplays, the owner left because of some sort of drama. Some of the users seem to not care about their writing at all as they either leave or disappear after making their sheet or posting their introduction. It doesn't make senses why this section is still there. I am an active user on the NRP section and I think that the section should be just deleted. Any active nation roleplays would be moved to the other sections (Free, Casual, etc.) after the section is deleted. Plus, there aren't many users that often check out the section unlike any other section on this site. I think that the time has come for the staff to remove Nation Roleplay section for good.

The FAQ thread in the arena isn't actually a FAQ.

Non-fandom RPs where there's an already created character with a backstory and look and personality for the character 'you' are supposed to be playing. It bothers me so much, particularly when the premise of the RP is interesting.

It's like I'm reading along, liking the idea well enough, then the CS for 'their' chara comes up and it's like okay, cool you already have your character. Then 'and here is you will be playing!'. >.> Nopes.

I feel like part of the fun of non-fandom RPs is working on a new character and building them up and developing them. And I'd get massive anxiety trying to play someone else's character - there has to have been times where the other person has been 'Your character wouldn't do this because I created her and I know what she would do.'

Just write a story then, jeez.

@Light the Dark I'm not sure whether or not English is your first language, but what do you mean? Are you talking about pre-made characters?

@Mr Allen J Yes, I suppose that's the term I was looking for. English is my only language, but I tend to become a bit less intelligible when I'm ranting. And that post up there was very much a rant.

Then I get what you mean. Not being able to make your own character, and essentially get railroaded is boring af, and I never even experienced it myself!

I'm pretty sure I abhor the NRP section.

I abhor you.

I've said this before and I'll say it again.

It frustrates me with people who do not reply to PMs. I go into the 1x1 interest check forum and look through the threads. I find a few that I find interesting and send off an message to ask a bit more and see if they are available... AND THEY DON'T MESSAGE BACK! What is then stupid... Like SERIOUSLY and COMPLETELY...
...is when I see the person decide to bump the thread.

I do not understand!!!!

Yes I see your rules. Yes I see your preferences. I have offered you a sample of my writing. I can match the length you ask. No I don't write in first person. Yes I can play characters of either gender. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes! So what part did I fail? What secret aspect are you looking for? I sent you a PM, a... PERSONAL... MESSAGE!!! DO YOU EVEN WANT TO ROLEPLAY?!?!?! I reply back to all my enquiries and tell them why I'm not sure they are suitable. Sometimes it's minor like post length, other times it's major like theme that I do not want to RP... but I message back. How hard is it to reply back to someone that god damn wants to Roleplay with you!!!!

On another note I started two 1x1s with some lovely people. (◠‿◠✿)

Dear god.

That kind of pace would be a huge nope for me. I've got shit to do, and I wouldn't want to miss out on a good chunk of the roleplay because I had to leave for a few hours.

GMS who try to psychoanalyze you and then permaban you.

I had one say I was "trying to see how far I could push language usage". Then permabanned me.

I was saying that I played Overwatch and was called a faggot in Overwatch. An online game. Where that word is commonly used. A sentence that is accurate.

People who run roleplays should save armchair psychology for actual psychologists.

My account if anyone wants to call me a faggot.

I'm understand school is kicking back into gear and what have you. But I'm honestly really unhappy that my gundam roleplay came to a screeching halt because not only did someone make a CS, add it to the CS section and not post. But everyone else is not posting either. Two of them are waiting on me and I'm waiting on the rest so I don't get into a one round circle jerk and since no one is with my main NPC's who are planning the next battle I have too talk to myself and make a god damn narrative with a bunch of NPC's THEN only can we move on too finish PART ONE of a two year running roleplay.

Very few people on this site genuinely irritate me. Some do.
