Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

@Gowi Nothing makes me angry except for people who insist that I'm angry even when I am not.

People like that are annoying.

@Buddha

It almost makes you want to be a blatant asshole, right?

[Dion]

@Gowi Honestly I'm way ahead of you on that one. I'd be surprised if people liked me at this point.

@Buddha

All I know is you remind me of @Beta, except your politics make sense.

[Dion]

@Gowi LOL. As someone that knows Beta, you should really take that back.

That guy .. god damn. Don't ever liken me to him again.

@Buddha

That generally seems to be the consensus when I use him as a comparison. I'm sure you've got stories (as do I).

[Dion]

@Gowi Don't worry though. I already knew we wouldn't get along when I first saw you, so no hard feelings.

[Gowi]

@Buddha

O-Oh. Why not?

[Dion]

@Gowi Simply put, you believe in things like rape culture and a wage gap (that is my assumption anyway) where as I do not. Therefore, either of us will be unwilling to let go of their beliefs and therefore any discussion we hold in these subjects is doomed to fail as it would devolve into a primitive shouting match between two brick walls.

Now, I am definitely a primitive, so it's not like I would be lowering myself, but you on the other hand, hmm.

A subject for another thread, though.

[pugbutter]

So I've finally done it. I've found the worst roleplay character. Not the worst "in the thread"; not the worst "on the site." This is the Holy Grail of bad roleplay characters and having beheld it I now feel totally empty inside because where the hell am I supposed to go from here? No one will ever top it. I must move on with my life knowing that this feeling of disgust and dread will never be surpassed. I'm like that guy in Hellraiser who has experienced all the most intense worldly pleasures already so he resorts to joining an S&M cult in his quest for the next big endorphin hit.

Granted, he's not the very worst quality-wise. There are so-bad-they're-awesome characters, the Plan 9 from Outer Space of roleplay. I can laugh at bad characters sometimes and get some entertainment out of them. Not this guy. He's not a good character, and he's not a so-bad-he's-awesome character either. He's in that terrible middle ground where he's too good to be awful and he's too awful to be good. He's vacuous, flavorless, vapid, bland. He has stolen life from me which I could have spent reading something actually enriching or God forbid, entertaining.

• "Jerk with a heart of gold" trope; because you want to be a badass but you're too timid and weak to accept the consequences of actually standing up to people and defending your unpopular beliefs, so you need to be "a good guy deep down" and I totally need to dig through your hard exterior just to realize you are—!
• Your horse has a name. Of course it does. It's a super-speshul horse, and you're, like, connected to it and shit. Maybe your sword too?
• You use a "hand and a half" or "bastard" sword because you want to be ready for anything; you want to be versatile and prepared, so you can use it 2h or with a shield. Never mind the fact that that's not how bastard swords work. You're the hero. And heroes use swords.
• Mid thirties, sexually attractive. Speaks for itself.
• Has a lot of scars (to look more rugged) even though he's apparently really good at fighting.
• Feigns at a tragic and sorrowful backstory even though he apparently likes fighting, and spends his entire time IC smirking and generally being a pompous ass.
• Dead parents. Wouldn't want Mummy mailing him some of his favorite cookies or something equally embarrassing, would we? He's a badass.
• Pet animal. Usually a wolf or a dog but there can be some leeway here.
• Perfect sculpted bodybuilder physique on a medieval diet. No.
• Arbitrary and gratuitous wilderness survival skills; because again, he's a badass, and relying on other people in any way whatsoever is a sign of weakness. Can't have that, can we? So yeah, I'll totally humor your "wilderness survival skills" even though I can tell you've never been camping before in your entire sedentary life.
• "Is very cold and distant at first but once you get to know him he'll be your most loyal friend for life." While the rest of us gullible fucks are giving our bank details to Nigerian princes because they're probably nice guys.
• BOOT KNIVES BECAUSE YOU'RE TOTALLY AN ASSASSIN OR SOMETHING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
• You were afraid of having a silly or non-masculine name so you went with the most mundane R and K-riddled fantasy name you could fathom. The letter R is badass.
• Weaknesses which are totally endemic and won't ever realistically be confronted during the course of the RP; because having actual insecurities to confront IC isn't something badasses do. I get it, your tragic past is so fucking poignant and totally justifies why you're afraid of jumping into deep water from tall heights while there's a spider sucking blood from your neck. But come the fuck on.

If you're reading this and you're the guy who subjected me to this intellectual and artistic torture, I'm drunk and fuck you, give me my ten minutes back. I wasted ten minutes of my precious fucking life having deigned to read this mediocre garbage which you wrote, edited, sanctioned, and had the sheer fucking balls to post online. You know exactly who you are, you animal, you depraved fucking monster, and you're directly responsible for this abortion having pierced my innocent virgin eyes. You're responsible!

@pugbutter

i actually went and stalked your posting history to find this character, and i found him

aka the protagonist of every fantasy rpg ever, a projection for the player to impose themselves on

[Fyre Unholy]

@Mercenary Lord My dragons post was because of someone on that same thread actually.

@Mercenary Lord

From this day forward you are my personal roleplay guardian. Continue to stalk my post history, and if I ever write a character this bland and trite, you have my consent to smother me with a pillow while I sleep.

Edit: I'm not kidding btw this is a legally binding document

[StarWight]

Let's bitch? Here it goes.

I am so sick and FUCKING tired of lazy ass ASSHOLES at my work that want to complain when we release them EARLY almost every damn day. And it's not from the military I work with (there was ONE exception but she is gone now), it's from the spoiled ass civilians I work with (no offense to civilians in general, just THESE ones in particular). Where I work, our work hours are from 0730 to 1600. In a regular basis we let them go at around 1500, because we finish up well before 1600 USUALLY. We keep one person who has to stay late with our on call doctor, the rest get to go home.

And yet. And yet, when we have a super busy day and we have to have someone pull a LITTLE extra weight, I ask someone to do ONE extra task, all I hear is bitching, pissing, and moaning. I am sick of this crap. If I did that same BS, what would happen to me? Disciplinary action. But when THEY do it, it's okay.

What happened to a good work ethic and appreciating wtf you have? This crap is really starting to piss me off, and I wish I had the damn rank to DO something about it -_-

[BrokenPromise]

Uh, @LoneSilverWolf?



Non-RP bitching thread would be that way.

[StarWight]

@BrokenPromise What, did I go too far? xD

[Baklava]

@LoneSilverWolf I think it's more the fact that you're only really supposed to bitch bout that roleplay related things in here. Lol

@pugbutter This is the best thing I've read all day. Lmao

My bitching complaint today is people who post character sheets an OOC, get accepted, and then disappear from the RP. Not RPG. The RP.

[Eklispe]

idk something about people only playing one character and just changing it to fit into different universes is weird to me. Or playing only the same type of character, so basically the same thing.

Also wonderful image use ^
