You Know You Have an RP Problem When...

[Mach2]

Finish the sentence, ideally with examples that have actually happened to you. Saw one of these threads on another forum, and some of the results were pretty fantastic.

You know you have an RP Problem when...

Your original characters have conversations in your head.

You've approached a real-life situation by thinking "What would [my character] do?"

You've stayed up to an ungodly hour waiting for someone to post. Or, alternatively, have set your alarm for the middle of the night in order to check for new posts.

This can be really problematic depending on what character you play. Jeez.

... When your roleplay is dropped and you feel like you have to explain to your character why you can't write him anymore.

Ditto to all of these. Yes, all of them.

Additionally,

When you load IC threads on your laptop browser before you leave home in the morning, so that when you get to school, where you know you won't have access to wi-fi or any other means of access to the site, you will still have the threads to look at, so that you can write responses in a word document and post them when you get home.

You know you have RP problems when roleplayerguild.com is not the only roleplaying forum you join... and not the only roleplaying forum you're active at.

You know you have an RP problem when you understand the underlying frustration contained in the sentence, "No, it's not THAT kind of Role play."

[Ichthys]

You know you have an RP problem, if you identify with any of the "you know you have an RP problem" statements on this thread, including this one but excluding any of the outrageously unrelatable ones.
