Today, dear friends, I bring you a tale
Of youth, and suck and epic fail
From Gaiaonline this story comes
And no, I'm not doing it all in rhyme, don't worry.

( Long rant is long )

Tl;Dr: Dear you, plz get off the 'I WANT BABIES" bandwagon, learn to rp you some proper relationships before you go trying to force babies, and stop badgering people to start rps when you aren't even tagging in yours.

Mikako (for cocoa puffs) is a Japanese fairy born to human parents whose characteristics include retractable butterfly wings, telekinesis, eyes that change color on emotion, aura reading, and an amazing singing voice.

So um. Reading other people's RP posts would be good. I can tell you didn't because if you had, your character would not be walking deeper in to the forest to hide. Since two other characters have already made loud announcements that anyone who doesn't show themselves will be killed.

Either by them or, it has been established, by the ravenous monsters lurking deeper in the forest and played by the OWNER OF THE GAME.

Whose posts you apparently didn't read either.

Cheers, friend!

...I felt this conversation I just had was too lulzy not to share.

(beware, some foul and graphic language lies herein)

( Bitch girl is bitchy )

I'm not saying I was necessarily the best behaved person in the world, but I was walking on eggshells anyway trying not to offend this person on the off chance that this "PROFESSIONAL author" might actually be half-talented at writing.
C'est la vie.

(and for the record, her example posts kind of sucked...I was just being nice.)

Edit: Sure, okay, I'm butthurt, whatever. Like I said, I never claimed to be a paragon of RPers either. My point is that I find that a really poor way of telling me "sorry I don't think we would work out." I'd been doing my best to remain civil and cater to her hitherto, so suddenly pulling out "But frankly, we won't be playing anyhow. So don't even waste your time. You've provided my friends and I quite a few laughs tonight and I thank you for that much" does in fact seem like unto behavior that might be termed "bitchy," imho.

The GM has said he has never run the game before and wants to keep things simple until he has become familiar with the rules. This is fine.

So, dear self, stop coming up with convoluted character concepts and backgrounds that push the character creation rules to the limit. Yes, the ideas may be cool and interesting, and yes the actual character creation rules may suck horribly*, but if the GM wants something simple and straightforward that follows what's in the book, then this is what should be made!

*headdesk*


*This is 'Rogue Trader'. Oh Origin Path, how I hate you...

"Addie is the typical blonde beauty, she has pouty full lips that just make you want to kiss her. Her long blonde hair falls in llong aves that she usually leaves down. Her eyes a sparkling hazel that just pop out of her head."


Taken from an app on a board about a government that dictates marriages.

0_0 at that last sentance about the eye's popping out of her head. Then the spelling mistakes reared their heads. LOL

Why is it always sparkling!?

EDIT:

"In the past she had her best friend, well they were more like sisters, at the institute she was two years older that her but they got along like a house on fire."
>< english fail!

the whole thing is....bad >_

So there is this fandom and in this fandom there are actually several really amazing players. There are people that dedicate time and effort into reviewing the characters they have or at the very least not being obnoxious bitches. Then you occasionally get the mun/muse combo that you want to kick in the teeth even if your character doesn’t directly interact with theirs because they are just. that. obnoxious. This would be one of those cases. The mun failed to get the attention of the desired muse(s) with their first two attempts. These muses, while terrible, still weren’t as bad as the “winner” behind door number three. This mun started by taking something someone else did and effectively turned their version of this particular muse into a caricature of one that was being done well.

I have never in my life wanted to kick a muse in the teeth as much as I want to kick this individual’s take on the character. What’s sad is that I’m not alone. There’s an entire group of people (some of which aren't even IN the fandom) that have offered various suggestions in terms of dealing with this muse, acid and fire being the big two. It’s sad when you are so hard up for attention with your muses that you can’t tell the difference between positive attention and negative attention. Your character is meant to be an ambassador (- a diplomatic official of the highest rank sent by a government to represent it on a temporary mission, as for negotiating a treaty.) That implies the character has some sense of diplomacy (-skilled in dealing with sensitive matters or people; tactful) and is not an irredeemable cunt. Of course, this is when the mun isn’t making the muse some kind of schizophrenic freak. Irredeemable cunt one second, disgustingly cheerful "I'm going to be your new BFF" pleasant in the next.

What’s even worse is that barring the awful job the mun is doing with the character, they don’t even have basic RP etiquette down. Not every muse with the same face is the same. A thread held with a version of Muse 1 isn’t going to mean anything to a DIFFERENT version of that same muse (1b). RP is not a collective in that sense. What one person does with personal storylines doesn’t make it open for you to take and use, neither does it mean that another mun/muse combo is going to know what the hell you’re talking about when you use events from another unrelated thread and topic in theirs. Take how much they like to abuse punctuation, a sad lack of spell check, and add it to the fact that they can't be bothered to take the time to read basic community rules. For example: posting an entire letter style paragraph to a community with a word limit.

I’m aware the correct response here is just to ignore them.Hopefully once they’ve managed to piss off the community as a whole and no one gives them any attention, negative or otherwise, they’ll crawl back in the abyss they climbed out of.

TL;DR version? This mun/muse sucks. They are desperate to get the attention of the character they fangirl most and they’re using the “Even negative attention is attention” philosophy to get it among other assorted and various RP crimes.

I just thought I would share. this person has lots of RP blogs, and her mary sue character is pretty much the same other than the name and clothing on every single one:

Okay, here goes. This is my first time posting on here but there's something that's been annoying me to no end recently and I figured, where better to bitch about it?
 
( Read more... )

Right, so having read an intriguing post regarding people looking for rp buddies, I messaged this person. They didn't seem insane within the first five minutes of the conversation. They seemed friendly, articulate, intelligent.

Then we started discussing chars and potential scenarios for rp and they interrupted me to ask if I had an image for the char. NOT a photo. They suggested I 'go to Deviant Art and select an image there are tons there.'

I was slightly bemused at the prospect of being requested to go and find an illustration of a pb on the spot. Right, so this person's a bit weird, I thought to myself. I cautiously suggested, 'Well, I have some stuff _I've_ drawn, I could send you a jpeg if you like.'

This, I was informed, 'might result in my char being rejected.'

Yes, rejected from an rp session via AIM. I figured what the hell, this person is obviously a twat, but I confess I've a bit of professional pride since I'm a freelance artist, so sent them a jpeg anyway.

I got this response: 'Your drawing style looks like Joe's. Suspiciously so.'

I have no idea who 'Joe' is, and so asked the other person to clarify just what the hell they were on about. I also mentioned that since I am an artist, the insinuations that I'm some sort of plagiarist are highly offensive to me.

Their response was, 'Oh no no I don't mean you're a plagarist. I have to ask Joe something.'

By now I was irritated and said I didn't think this was going to work out. Their response was, 'No wait, it's okay. Joe says it isn't him. Sorry for the misunderstanding but you can see why I have to be careful.'

So, after blocking and deleting this person, I am still left with the burning question...

Who the hell is 'Joe'!?
