Letter Format:

Dear you,

Your character is cute, I'll give you that much. But every. single. scene. you do with them is the same thing over and over and OVER. It doesn't help that you only, really, play with one person. I understand that you two have a good connection, and that's great, but the only saving grace is that the one person you play with happens to be on the mod team. If it were any other game, if that person weren't a mod, your ass would have been been talked to about activity. Ages ago.

Not only is every single scene a carbon copy of the last, but your ideas on child-rearing are ridiculous. Do you have two parents? Have you ever been part of a single-parent family? Have you ever, in your life, taken a child psychology class? Or even just a regular psychology class? Even a basic, bare bones knowledge of how families work would show you that these opinions that your character keeps spouting make NO sense at all. The fact that you, and your character, are so committed to the idea that you are right and everyone else is wrong here is, frankly, pissing me off.

Branch out, mofo. I've already had to have the mod team talk to you about doing scenes with other people. I don't want to have to bitch to them about this shit too. Get a clue already.

No love,
Me.

Disclaimer: I have no problem with slash or buttsex when they are done well. In fact, I enjoy it very much, and really, this goes for any pairing, be it het, slash, or femslash; however, because I've seen it done more often with slash, I'm using it as an example.

I do have a problem when someone joins a multifandom RP and only interacts with the characters within their fandom until the other half of the player's OTP arrives and then proceeds to jump straight into a badly developed pairing while ignoring the rest of the RP and being somewhat OOC in the process...

BRPS, why do people do this? Why don't they just ask for an RP partner on their fandom's comm? It really boggles the mind, especially since the fandoms of those involved are usually very slash-friendly.

Why would you refer to yourself as that? Yes. You’re an unwelcome person. You ever stop to sit down and think about why instead of throwing your usual dramatics and flouncing away?

GTFO. No, seriously. At this point I just want you to GTFO. That takes a lot of talent, my unwelcome guest. Normally I’m all for helping people reform instead of just tossing out the B&.

I thought we had worked things out with you. We had this big ol’ group conversation and hammered some of the kinks regarding you and the RP and…It ended well. Crisis averted; situation normal. And yet you’re still being as big a drama whore as ever and Mod seems to have no intentions of banning you for it. I’ve had discussions about this with her and…She intends to do nothing about it. I’m sick of feeling like it’s my job to call you out on your shenanigans because our current mod can’t man up and just kick you out.

ETA: Turns out this was the straw that broke the Mod camel's back, among other OOC drama. I smell a ban coming.

Look.

If you're going to tell me you're sick and lost your internet and that's why you disappeared for a month in the middle of our thread (delaying a bigger plot that's pretty important to my character, not to mention the relationshipping you asked for)...

...at least make sure I can't see you still posting on your other sites, yeah?

( Let's talk about conversation in battle, shall we? )

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but tl;dr version, I am tired of people in combat RP assuming everything will stop in the fight so they can make wordy speeches. And it seems to happen really often. And when you don't play along, for some reason they get angry. :-/ Times like this I wish the GMs weren't MIA

So. Found this group/kingdom thing, gods help me. Was checking out their rules and I'm sorry but, Dear Moderators of thie Group, no one is going to let this rule of yours fly.
It's their characters they apply to your group. Say it with me: "Their chars. Not yours to do with as you please."

Said rule, directly quoted: If at any time you decide to leave the storyline, you will not be given the ability to write an exit for your character unless you do so in a room with witnesses. If not then your character can and likely will be used to further the storyline as we see fit.

/end sarcastic, screaming laughter.

A couple of weeks ago I joined a different type of HP rp. I was excited, but I wasn't overeager enough to skip the rules. I read the rules, copied the app and submitted it after typing in the "secret password" that was "hidden" in said rules. I wait for about half the day, joined a couple of other rp boards, while I wait for my app to be reviewed. I go back to the site and find that my app has been rejected, with a note attached that said to read the rules.

I'm thinking I must have left something out of my app and that's why it was rejected. I read over the rules carefully and then resubmit the app. I don't have to wait for long since the mod was still logged onto the site. Again it was rejected with the same little message. I'm getting frustrated and confused, so I pm the mod and ask what was wrong with my app. I wasn't being aggressive or mean, just a simple question.

Well, that was obviously the wrong thing to do since the Mod got all over my case about me not reading the rules and that a four year old was smart enough to figure out what was missing. I'm surprisingly calm and explain to her that I have read the rules three times now and I still don't see what I've been missing. I get ignored. So I wait until an Admin logs on so I can talk to them. This person happens to be very nice. I explain the situation and I'm told to resubmit the app. This time my character is accepted without hesitation. For a few days everything is going fine, my character has made a strange couple of friends.

I try to log in and I can't. It turns out that the Mod that kept denying my app banned me for a fake offense. Even though I can't log in, I still have access to the c-box. The Mod and the Admin that approved me was on and I let it be known that I couldn't log in. The Admin had no idea that the Mod had banned me and when asked why the Mod just started making up shit. After about a few minutes of pure bull shit, I say fuck you and leave.

Now I feel kind of bad about leaving since I did make a friend of sorts with a fellow member and feel bad about not getting contact information from them so we could talk more. But was the mod in the right for denying the app?

You. Yeah, you. You strange guy who messaged me on MSN out of the blue one day a few years back (I am *still* not sure where you got my address), and then convinced me to RP with you. Let's set some things straight, here.

Just because a vampire was turned a young age but is 'mentally mature' (i.e. thirty year old in the body of a six year old) does not make your insistence on a yaoi RP with him any less creepy. Okay, yeah, I have no qualm with yaoi -- what *does* bother me is UNDERAGED SEX AND PEDOPHILIA. Mental age does not play into that. If the character has the body of a six year old, they're not physically ready for sex in any sense of the word. In short: EW.

Luckily we never talk. I have no idea what happened to you. I'm kind of glad I don't.

*****

P.S. - You. Other you. Yeeeeah you, back there. It's so not fucking cool to let me help moderate your proboards RP by reviewing apps, and then get all up in my face and face of my co-reviewer for DOING TOO GOOD OF A JOB. Screw 'having fun', if I see a character whose sole purpose in life is to be a villain so that she can kill all men because of her OMG ABUSIVE BOYFRIEND, I am GOING TO FUCKING REJECT THEM. I'm very, very glad I left your RP along with my fellow mod, and I hope you're happy managing all the idiots who flooded in after we left. Good luck with that, you moody bitches.

Dearest admin who shall from here forewards be known as B
( Read more... )

TL;DR:: admin, who I have no idea WHY she's an admin, has a godmodding, too-powerful character, claims to be dying and uses it as an excuse for excessive bitchiness

Why, hello there wonderful, darling roleplay partner! I come today with a message for you, muffled, but hopefully heard, from under my sockhat.

( Long letter of discontent ahoy! )

TL;DR: Please stop trying to act like my mother, then beg me to RP with you, only to proclaim that you are TOO HIGH LOLOLOL to continue. It's not funny. It's just fucking weird.

I have a small update for you. You may remember my last post, or you may not, so I'll summarise - I LARP with an attention seeker. If you do remember, well, let's just say that she's added a pink corset to the high white wedges her totally authentic geisha character is going to wear.

Sexy-geisha-wannabe-player has had, the last two outdoors (outdoors are, basically, a one day quest event where half of us are players and the other half are monsters/NPCs, whereas indoors are talky drinky affairs where everyone but the GMs play) a crazy NPC. She is crazy of the "HEDGEHOGS RANDOM CRAP *teeny plot hint that she is interesting no-one in, because of all the shit either side* EARTHWORM TEAPARTIES" variety. This last outdoor, the GMs asked for suggestions for random events to happen in a cave. I have a crazy (of the "I have no human contact, so I shall raise these zombies and talk to them instead and see absolutely nothing wrong with this") necromancer I never use, so I put her forward as a one-off event.

Geisha-faker is not happy and insists I can't play her, because I obviously can't play a crazy the same event as her, ohnoez. The GMs, on the other hand, quite like the idea, because for a while they've been trying to think of a way to prove that not all necromancers are totally irredeemably evil. They not only let me play her once, but also as my alternate player character.

And I'm finding that a small part of the fun of playing this character is that, without really trying, I have a character that pretty much everyone has to have an opinion on. I have all the attention sexy-geisha could ever want, even though I will be fully dressed, and in some ways, I feel distinctly, well, gloaty about it. And then I feel guilty for being gloaty. And then I remember pink corset, and feel less guilty.

I may suck as an RPer and as a person. I'm not entirely sure.

Before you say something about the fandom (that the game is based on), gather your facts first. You spitting out these incoherent thoughts about what you think is canon, or accurate, when half the people in the room/channel see its not, is just silly.

Not correcting yourself after the multiple times you do it a day... Now that's just stupid and makes YOU look like a complete moron.


Gather your information if people are nerd-raging and you want to be a part of the fun. Its starting to peeve me out.


- On that note: Please stop assuming things of players/characters when you: A) Don't know them B) Don't know their abilities or skills C) Never talked/scened with them.

Again, it makes you look foolish.

Dear Solar System,

It was hilarious the first night.  Mildly amusing the second day.  Now you've just killed it.  Stop pls.

What is up with your holier-than-thou attitude?

( Cut for swearing. )

Dear Party Bard (again),

( Still sick of your OOC BAAAAAW about your IC failure to be diplomatic. )

Vague annoyance at the loss of a neat subplot,

The Cranky-Pants Party Cleric

I'm a busy lady, so let's make this short and sweet:

If you can't keep up with a thread (i.e. a post a day, because then at least something is happening) then PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF SWEET JESUS DON'T TAG ME. I can understand being busy but you do this PRETTY much every time and then it leaves the characters in the middle of a conversation that I'm not sure how it ended. I'm not even asking for large paragraphs of narrative included here. Just give me SOMETHING.

You're not a terrible GM. In fact your a pretty good one. You've kept a group of winy Buffy/Angelverse Mary Sues contained and less likely to be letting original characters overwhelm the plot. I understand that English isn't your first language so I can over look the random verb use. HOWEVER just because your a GM doesn't mean that your player character can be super awesome and a total superman.

Heroes...not needed. Let the rest of us play like that.

Kay thanks.

Dear players,

You want a new power? A new skill? A new feat?

Fine.

I require at minimum:

The name of whatever it is you want for your character as well as the title of the book or game supplement it comes from!

Why is this so f*cking difficult to understand!?

Exactly what am I supposed to with "Hey GM, can I have this new feat? I think its called "bravo challenge" or "divine challenge" or "divine bravo challenge". I'm not sure what book it is from."?

No really, explain to me what it is you expect me to do? Next time one of you tries that I am going to answer "I'll let you have it, if you can name the title of the movie or TV series that stars what's-his-name. Here's a clue, the title starts with 'The'."

Okay. If you want someone to write with you and they tell you their not sure what to do with your character because you're not involved, then suggest you get involved, suggest ways for you to get involved...

You really shouldn't come back whining about how you're not involved and everything that you've "done" isn't enough for people to come flocking to you.

Okay, well, you are the M. Night Shyamalan of role-players. You don't come up with ideas or plots. You don't come up with any reason for characters to engage with yours. Oh sure, he has an interesting life... but he's not around to talk to, so I'm not sure how that's supposed to help. You have done all of this stuff with him that keeps him away from the public areas and prevents other characters from having contact with him... and then bitch and moan that no one is getting involved with him.

Well I'm done with being called the bad guy here. There wasn't a lot going on in our corner of the RP world and I have done my best to revive it. I went to you to get involved with it, but then that upset you because it wasn't centered around your pup.

This wasn't meant to be so letter formatty. The moral of the story here is it is BRP if you bitch and moan about having no involvement with your character when you have made no attempt to correct it yourself. I have a professional policy of never doing more than the person I'm trying to help is willing to do for them self. Well, this person isn't willing to do anything, so I'm not going to do anything.

edit: I'm sorry this is so redundant. I'm tired and I can't think of any better way to put this all.

Maybe everyone would stop trying to rape your character if she didn't fall down so much.
