MRA Guild members

Are there any members of the Guild who are Men's Rights Activists? I'm one and I'm curious to know if there's anyone else who is as well.

It isn't a stupid question, especially since at what point someone marks off whether something is truly 'story driven' or truly 'character driven'. Likely roleplays will require elements of both.However, to clarify a bit. I've been a part of roleplays in which the GM is so focused on pushing the roleplay forward with his story that even when my character disrupted it, he completely ignored the actions my character took and shouted at my in the OOC saying that I couldn't do such a thing 'for plot reasons'.

That sucks when gms do that. My point is that it gets really frustrating for me when the rp turns into a social gathering and then becomes a total mess when every single character gets in on a conversation because the players don't have anything else to do with their characters and then it gets really annoying having to respond to each character. If I want a social gathering then I converse in the ooc, it especially pisses me off when the theme of the role play is suppose be about telling a story and instead becomes conversational mess. I don't role play for the sake of conversation, I role play to create interesting characters and to tell a story as well as have my characters face challenges. I'm in it for the Hero's Journey

And you can also have a good story in an RP that lasts barely a week.Yes you may argue "Good story takes time", but so does Characters.So if you're claiming you had good characters in such a short RP I only assume the posting for it was intense.In which case, a good story and characters can still happen.But the outside world still exists, and still influences peoples abilities to keep up.

Well in my experience a role play gets old pretty fast when we're just having our characters talk back and forth with no movement in the story. If there's no story then it's boring as hell for me

Is it just me, or are we going to be forming this RP's version of the Marvel Knights? ...gosh darn it, I'm procrastinating again. >.<@Raptor and Marra: I have already started the Iron Knight post. I just need to finish it. Just wanted to keep you two in the loop.

I'm a DC fanboy, I hope that doesn't turn you off of role-playing with me

You seem to not have quite taken from it what I had hoped, but I also advise that you might want to avoid speaking in such absolutes for anything expressly identified as your feelings.

I hope this doesn't sound rude but you are aware this is the internet? People speak in absolutes all the time and it's just role playing we're talking about, I've seen a lot worse absolute statements on the internet.

Your last line would be better phrased as, "I think it is important to make sure there are set goals and have your storyline planned out." Your current phrasing rubs me the wrong way.There aren't absolutes in this.A lot of it depends on the level that the roleplaying is being done at. Character driven roleplays can operate much better in free than in casual or advanced because the expectation is different. However, that isn't to say that you need to absolutely have a storyline in order to make it work in the higher levels, as there is a distinction between having a storyline and having a purpose. I've ran Natrelmon many successful times without a real storyline, but created challenges for the players.

Most of the time if there's nothing for the characters to do except just talk then the rp doesn't last very long. That's my experience, again most players want direction and something to do
