[TheUnknowable]

Well, one of my characters are on the bridge, the other's with the princess. is there anyone at any location to respond to me?

@TheUnknowable

Welllllll... I'm still waiting on a reply from ya. If you're wondering about me not being online for a while, that's just because I only log in when I'm planning to post. Since you haven't replied yet, I've had no need to login until now :D

[TheUnknowable]

@Candywhat was I supposed to reply to? I didn't see anything to respond to in your last post.

@Candywhat was I supposed to reply to?

@TheUnknowable

That actually doesn't sound like my problem or anyone else's. This is a role play and people post true to the character they are playing. It's not something you're meant to be stressing about. If you're having a problem getting a little creative about this then no one else should be expected to it for you. It's not my character so I'm not gonna tell ya how to play him.

If your character doesn't have a natural response to walking to the mess hall, then maybe standing there and looking into space is more fitting for him lol

[TheUnknowable]

If you expect people to respond to everything you do, even when you don't do anything that needs a response, maybe you are a bit self-centered.

You are using the fact that I didn't respond to a post which ended that scene to not post. It's no wonder that this RP died if the players won't post and others like their post for snarky comments blaming others for them not posting.

Haha, I wasn't expecting anything. Looks like you missed the point as to why I replied to you here on the OOC. No one else was responding to you so I figured I better say something. Point is you don’t need to respond to another player to make a post. You should know your character well enough to act without having your hand held. If you don’t see a way to respond to me then that’s your deal, not mine. I’ll happily move along now without your response, because I am able to create a post without needing a reply from another player that meets my special standards. RPing is also about improvising when you don’t get the response you would prefer to have gotten.

So go to the mess hall and drink your tea, or don’t, whatever. It was your idea to begin with and I responded to your content when I didn't need to out of courtesy for another player, but I guess that was self-centered of me. Again, I didn’t expect anything. You’re the one complaining and expecting people to do your thinking for you, not me.

[TheUnknowable]

I wasn't demanding anything, just asking if anyone was there.

The point of a group RP is to interact. Posting by myself is pointless, so I was asking if anyone would respond.

You can't RP as a group if no one is interacting with each other. It's just individual stories in the same universe at that point.

[Hokum]

Well, it's good to see Quote's RP is getting activity XD

So anyway, it is early in the game and we haven't even started the journey yet, which, I might add, is the sole reason for this RP. At this point the players are just establishing themselves, which is normal for an RP. We shouldn't be bickering about interaction so soon, if ever. I think if any player ever has a problem finding a way to respond to another player, they should just take the initiative and go onto the next step of progress. If you want my opinion, which I'll give anyway, having the lieutenant arrive in the mess hall and sitting down at a table with his tea would work. Something along those lines. It would move the story along, and in the end there doesn't need to be any further dialogue on the bridge about soup, tea, or anything else, since the destination has already been established. So if it was me I'd just go ahead and arrive in the mess hall already. Oof!

---

As for my own characters, I'm content on having them mosey around on their own until I find a non-contrived, natural reason to interact with another character, or if the GM jumps in to lure my attention. But atm, my characters have no need to, and they aren't really in a position to do so anyway. In any case, both my characters have hidden agendas, which I've discussed with the GM, so me playing my characters with a more, uh, indirect interaction, works for them. That said, I may make a post in the next few days and see if that kick-starts anything. ...Unless Quote plans on abandoning this RP? Then I won't bother.

[Quote5]

So it seems like people are wondering what happened to the RP. Well, I don't know either. But I have not abandoned this RP. Yet. I don't have much faith at this point but if people start posting again, I'll keep going.

It has been 28 days since the last IC post. That's 4 weeks. I must unfortunately consider this RP to be dead.

@Quote5

Aww... Is a shame. I was planning on writing something, but I couldn't think of anything cool. I should strive to be cooler. Anyway, don't blame yourself, my first RP didn't exactly take off either. It's a good idea though, Quote.
