I just counted how many notifications I had from him roughly forty minutes ago. Five notifications in five different servers, probably would have been more if I didn't say anything in the OOC section.

Yeah at that point Inkarnate's advice is more fitting.

Just a small annoyance that has been bugging me for awhile. A friend of mine has been doing a 1x1 for some time with me on Discord, and like any good partner, he does a @mention if it has been a few days since I haven't replied (sometimes I can get busy and don't have the time to reply).

However, what annoys me is the time when he posts a reply and does a @mention if I haven't replied to him within thirty minutes to an hour. Additionally, he has a habit of going to every server we're both in and doing a @mention, so sometimes I reach almost ten notifications over the period of a minute that all deal with the same topic.

I've brought this up to him, as well the fact that he doesn't do the same thing to the other people he does 1x1s with. His only excuse is that he cares about our 1x1 and not the other ones he is in. I've known him for several years now, but frankly I've tired of all the crap he tries pulling with me because I don't have my eyes glued to the conversation and not instantly capable of responding.

Tl;dr Friend is doing a 1x1 with me and often annoys me with instant notifications or multiple notifications in the same time frame.


I had a friend come pester me from another site in a different role play.

You have the patience of a saint for putting up with it this long, dude. This would piss me off to the point of wanting to drop the rp entirely.

I'm ashamed to say I was once this annoying person too, about 10 years ago when I didn't have anything better to do with my life and didn't understand that other people weren't the same. But jeez if you can't give a person a day to a few weeks breathing room to reply you're gonna look like an asshat

I'd suggest as others have said, just to give said friend a nudge and remind him you have other life concerns and that it doesn't mean you aren't fond of the rp...or else you're gonna eventually reach a point where you snap. We all do

@Poi Sounds like you have gone through the usual - please stop this route. Looks like you might just have to be a hardass about it sadly - Message me more than once a day about posting and I won't post again, end of story. It's sad but sometimes you just have to be ~That person~ if they won't listen. If they were truly a friend or a good partner they would have already respected what you have asked, since they are not - you should not feel bad at all if you have to walk away.

I'm not telling you to drop a friend, but this is exactly when I would drop a partner. Life comes first. Fuck the post until it's handled. >.>

And that's why I am so happy with my 1x1 partner and how she understands when my life gets a bit chaotic. Unfortunately I would love to post but I just don't have all that free time for a while.

Leaving a roleplay because the GM is a grade-a megalomaniac cunt only to see them claiming the reason people left is because they weren't advanced enough is always hilarious.

Time to bitch about myself, and my kneejerk reaction to stop everything at the slightest fuckup.

Instead of fixing the fuckup, my initial overriding reaction is "fuck all of you" in the given scenario and just dropping the whole topic entirely, with a 'healthy' dose of bridge-burning and self derision.

Damn, that sucks that happened, Eggs, but at least you got a pyrrhic victory out of it?

@Inkarnate At least. I don't have to deal with 'em anymore and I get to laugh at the absurdity of the whole situation. That's like, at least 1/3rd of a win.

Eh, people like that are going to build a reputation pretty quickly in my experience. Blah blah karma or something.

I've never once left* an RP. I always make others kick me out when I don't want to participate anymore.
Wait there was that one time that I resigned...but that doesn't count. I gave my resignation after the RP died anyway.

I hate that there are so many rp concepts I could do but I am too poor a gm, and lack the capacity to do those specific roleplays as the gm. In other words I have a lot of ideas but neither the time, not ability to make them happen.
