Things About Roleplaying...

I hate when you give an opening for your character to get met by or interact with the other person(s) and they totally ignore you and post some sort of nothing post!

[Key Gavotte]

Yeah...something like that Ryvvi...

it's like you have to leave breadcrumbs to let people know what you want them to do. But with some people you have to leave whole loaves of bread behind because they'll never get it.

i dont really rp, but ive seen something a few times that look like it would be sooo frustrating
person y: A big broadsword swings down and hits person x right in the face, blood errywhere, total death etc.
then person x is like: Person x dodges at the last minute and completely kicks ass!
i dont just mean dying and stuff but theyll do an action and then the next person disregards it completely
like why D<

that annoys me ;3;

[Turtle Sensei]

Oh my gosh yes!! Or like, your character walks by them and says something totally shocking, and they ignore it and just continue on?

[Key Gavotte]

Although I'd be annoyed if we're randomly maiming characters without permission too! If someone did that, I'd 'dodge' their post a bit so that's not quite what happens. But changing the actions in another's post sometimes happens because they did too much and didn't give their partner a chance to respond with anything that would be in character.

[Turtle Sensei]

I agree Key! Sometimes they jump the bit a little and try to control the events without letting others post.

I hate vvhen people do that too it's like you send a nice little reply on vvhat your character vvould be doing and then all of a sudden their reply is telling YOU vvhat YOUR character -has- to do because they said so.

[MystMist]

The thing i hate most when roleplaying is when roleplayers are too hesitant to interact with each other or when the plot stalls.

[Maro]

yeah that sucks too

[Key Gavotte]

It's okay if someone does a little controlling stuff later in the story and you have to follow along. Like if they understand your character. But it's really bad when my character would never do that!

Like hesitant to interact inside the rp?

[MystMist]

And i understand that many people hate god modding and mary sues.

[Maro]

oh yes both can be annoying especially at the same time

[Key Gavotte]

I never actually met anyone that god modded. Or at least to my level of specification.
