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

@pugbutter I see! Advice taken. I'm going to remember this as long as I'm on the guild. Thanks!

Yeah bro, I think most of us don't take it personally. When you're skimming the forum of your choice for a new RP, do you like every single thread? Do you join every single one? Of course not. We all have preferences and we all come to understand that about each other eventually. There's no reason for me to believe that my Fantasy thread is garbage just because you, a Science Fiction player, are not interested in it. We'll never appeal to everyone, and frankly we shouldn't try, but that's another B!tch all its own.

It's when you make a mockery of my thread by pretending to join it that a line is crossed. We all have only so many minutes on this earth and I don't like squandering them by reading bios for characters I'll never get to RP with.

I hope I don't end up like one of those people. I've already expressed interest in a few roleplays and I'm excited! I'm certainly not going to back out.

I totally understand how it can happen. I do. I used to be fifteen, with a short attention span, with which ensued a spectrum of problems, from reading comprehension (e.g. getting bored and "skimming") to waiting "too long" for an RP's rising action after the boring shit like worldbuilding and character development. I would thus join RPs thinking I'd get something different from what I would actually get. And slipping away was easier than having to look people in the eye and tell them I was leaving their RP, because if I was leaving their RP, it was inherently implicit that I didn't like their RP, and I was also a pushover who didn't like hurting others. Uhh, you can see that has changed, lol.

So, yes, I used to do this. Then I grew up. I was always offended and insulted when people abandoned, ignored, or deceived me, certainly, but it took me a long time to realize that I was probably hurting other people by doing the same shit to them as others did to me: apparently just pretending to like their threads, and then deserting like it was all a great prank. Asking yourself "why" people leave always hurts more than any reason they can come up with, even the most bitter and vindictive. So really, when people do this they either don't realize at all that they're hurting others, especially such fragile and egoistic people as artists; or they just don't care.

TL;DR: Anyone who does this is either a child or a coward, or both.

I want to understand the mindset of the people who are willing to spend enough time to express interest in an RP, ask questions about an RP, design a character for an RP, edit and adjust this character so he gets accepted...

...but who, once the RP is up and the character is accepted into it, suddenly decide that showing up and actually posting in the IC tab is just too much fucking work.

And forget ever getting an apology or at least an excuse. These people disappear and they want you to wonder whether they're coming back. They want you clinging to false hope.

To those of you who do this, why? Is it ego? You want to know people are thinking about you, so you entrench yourself in that "fashionably late" bullshit and just take it to extremes? What is it? What? Why?

Make no mistake that you perpetrators are the cancer of RPGuild. I hope you have to take a bath in Tabasco after dunking your buttcheeks in a bucket full of broken glass and thumbtacks. I hate you even if you haven't done it to me personally, because there's a possibility, however slim, that after reading this you still have the titanic iron balls to apply for one of my RPs and waste more of my time. I hate that you and your slimy kin make me feel like I have to do background checks on people before I accept them into an RP census. What is this, fucking border control? Does the Guild need its own DHS to keep you rancid cunts out of our threads?
