I always read the spoilers first, I just had to laugh even in real life, only to realise that i should cry. We're rp-ers but we're acting like nothing of the sorts.
I noticed this at Merri's event a -lot-. People came to the place where we started and slides right to the persons they only know and always and always play with. I can understand that, we do that in real life as well of course but what we also do and what is in our nature is to socialize. ALL! of those friends, yes ALL! of them, were once strangers. Every single one of them, you had to meet them once. In the end they became your friends and you met more strangers through them, and they became that little clique, felt safe, and closed your border for no one to ever enter in.
I tried to hop from person to person, evading the persons I already knew and only tried to talk to persons who I didn't knew, but I didn't got any more than a name before they left and talked to their tight little buddies again. I don't understand why, is it that scary to just talk normally to someone? Is it that scary to maybe let someone into that border, that shell of yours and maybe find out that person is a really cool person, who knows others persons as well and make super epic storylines and adventures and... Fun.
Second thing that i totally agree with is the OOC/IC line.
IC == In character. Meaning My character, not me, not my life, not my name, job, sex, eyes, hats, whatever in any single way. It's a different person, his of her unique and very own person. NOT the player behind it.
OOC == the player behind it. Me. Yes, me, my life, my name, job, sex, eyes, hats, whatever defines me, the player who types this. I am -not- my character, I don't think as my character, I don't even ever ever would wanna be my character.
This is something so many people seem to forget. You meet someone, rp with them lots and lots untill you find out you maybe don't like his voice on vent and you cease all relations to the character, maybe even retcon.
Yes, this includes the blindness to see a female character as a female character, even when played by a male. Which seems a popular subject to bash these days.
Yes I am male in real life, i never lied nor denied it. Yes, Miyu, my character is female, it's a fact and it will always be. No matter how much you might hate it, might be disgusted about it, she is a female and I won't change it. If you truely hold onto that IC/OOC line, you should know that i don't even relate to my character in any way and that she is a seperate person. Stop looking at such trivial matters.
As an endgamer in various games I feel the dedication, the thrill, the need and the fun in what I do. I like meeting someone new and find out he would be a lovely addition to my guild/corp/shell/whatever. Expand on that and get his friends in, grow even bigger and create massive people who all have the veyr same goal, Endgame, in our case this is RP but I don't see a difference.
Rp starts with -you-, no one else, make it so!
HOO RAH!~
