...What.Sorry for playing a shy character who wasn't in the music club, then!

I'm not the one complaining here. I'm saying(in general, mind you) Why complain over lack of interaction or whatever when you(whoever) controls their character and is responsible for interacting with the other characters or isolating them. It seems like some people were bitter about Mira x Tohru lmao but nobody is complaining about Nadeshiko x Himawari even though she has blatantly stated she wants to get norty with Himawari, and they have been isolated to themselves pretty much the whole time.

But, we're the bad guys when like I said, I've made an active effort to interact with almost everyone. How is that fair?

@Fabri This is NOT your fault! You're doing an excellent job as a GM.

Ain't we all, Fabri. *pats back*

Now here's my two cents on the issue. I've been sitting back and keeping my mouth shut for quite a long time since all this started up about character isolation and how someone's character was supposedly getting more attention than others, but frankly I'm not doing that anymore because I'm fed up with all the bickering and complaining. The reason your character isn't getting any interaction is that you did not pursue it when you had the chance. It is not because someone made their character so popular and everyone is just drawn to her. That is completely the opposite of what we got here. The purpose of this RP is for characters to socialize with eachother, and that doesn't mean stand around and wait for someone to go after you. Sometimes, you have to put yourself out there like real life. Sometimes you have to actually push your character to get out there and speak with someone. So what if your character is shy. That's the point, develop your character. Let them overcome their shyness and their introverted nature. And second off, since there is socializing, that also gives way for romance, that's the main point of this RP anyways, is it not. But the moment two characters make a connection, everyone harps on them and says it's too soon. Like it or not, love at first sight does exist for some, and I'm not saying that Torhu's completely in love with Mira at the moment. Right now it's more of the friendship/highschool crush phase. Say what you want about me, but that is my honest opinion on all of this. Now, I'm gonna cool off for a bit, because I'm really irritated right now, but the one thing I don't want for any of us is our in-fighting to ruin an RP that's not only special to me, but this is Fabri's hardest attempt at GM'ing, and I'll be damned if anyone ruins it for her too.

I personally don't care. I'm not dropping from this roleplay unless Fabri kicks me or closes down the roleplay, and Fabri there will ALWAYS be people who want to join a roleplay like this so don't let any petty complaints get to you. I'm sticking around for the long run. If someone wants to leave, no point in chasing them. That is life, things aren't always going to go your way.

I asked OOC. Repeatedly. Because the thing about socially-awkward characters is that they only work if other people co-operate. And, I would like to note, character development isn't a valid reason for them to start talking; you need an established characterisation before you can go about developing it.

But I got ignored every time. That's why I ended up leaving: the OOC is absolutely useless for OOC, because any actual OOC tends to get ignored in favour of (generally omake) RPing!

Also, Rusalka? It's not 'every time there's a connection'. Tohru and Mira is a unique case. : /

Wrote up a post. Was angry and said some horrible things but yeah. Just going to post the first and last parts because yeah. Sorry.

Okay, right. First of all, Nadeshiko is a pervert. She has very little romantic interest in Himawari right now; whilst she is starting to see her as a friend, her attraction to her is almost purely phsyical. Secondly... She's shy and socially awkward! It doesn't make sense for her to approach people unless she feels comfortable around them; Himawari was nice to her earlier so she feels at least somewhat comfortable around her. And I did in fact keep asking if people would like to interact with her, since... Like I said, it made no sense in-character for her to approach anyone without turning into a nervous wreck and running off. And I'm not going to have her break character just like that because otherwise what would be the point of playing a character?

... ... ...

...And no, it's not your fault, Fabri. You've been doing a great job so far, far better than I would've. Don't be so down on yourself.

Just going to go calm down now or something sorry. Really love writing Nadeshiko and this is the most successful run I've had in an RP for a while and I don't want things to die out sorry just upset and angry sorry.

I understand sometime there's not a connection between characters. But again, beside the point. I just want the arguments and stuff to stop. I get tired of the OOC just becoming this instead of us always messing around and having fun as usual. So without further ado, let's just drop this and carry on for Fabri's sake.

But 'messing around and having fun' is a large part of why the RP has become increasingly concentrated around one group.

Sounds good to me. Hopefully, more people that haven't stated they quit the rp will come back to contribute once Spring Break and St.Pattys day is up.

I think stuff like this is both good and bad. It's good because I welcome an open forum for discussions and issues such as this. It's bad because, well, it can lead to people dropping and extended arguments. I totally see Raineh's point, and were I in her shoes I'd probably do the same thing. I know I hate being ignored in RP, but to be ignored both IC and OOC is practically criminal. So again, Raineh, for what it's worth, I apologize for ignoring you in OOC. Mea culpa. Too little, too late, but I felt like saying something.

I've been somewhat lax about pretty much everything, but going forward I'm going to be sure to listen to issues as they crop up instead of just being all jokey/jovial about it, like when I replied to Raineh about Kotone with "Because of the drama!" when she asked why Kotone would go to drama club.. I'm not asking you all to cut out the OOCRP, but when there's stuff being brought up in OOC it shouldn't be ignored. Granted, a large part of that is my fault because of my general lax attitude.

There's nothing less fun in a group RP than insular groups springing up.

I treat all complaints seriously. There's no petty complaint. Well, almost no petty complaint. A complaint is almost always stemming from an area that could do with improvement or worth looking into.

Um... I kind of think I have a suggestion for a solution, um...

One of the major issues is that this group has formed in the RP and it takes up a lot of characters in one place. The solution I can think of is, well... either allow secondary characters or open up the signups again, with the rule of no-one joining the music club because a lot of characters are there already.

I tend to confuzzle myself when I go for secondary characters, but I like the idea you've got Vita, plus since alot of players have already dropped, there should be room for more students now, so again I see no trouble here with this. And...I do have to agree on limits to people joining clubs, but my fear is that it may hinder others from deciding a character, so that is more or less a risky action which should be decided by the GM. All in all though, I think what you said does make good sense.

I had a really long day so will put off posting until tomorrow.

You guys accepting new characters?

We are

Yay, possible new people! *huggles*

Sorry for not replying, I've been sorta stuck on what to write about. I'll try to get a post up soon. And by the looks of what is on this page, I may not read the OOC xD kinda scared to
