Â This is starting to feel like everybody on this server wants to schedule roleplay rather than it just being random.
I do apologize but this is how I feel. Â Balmung feels like I need to file paperwork to do anything and I am finding that no one really does any actual random RP outside of their circles or cliques/friends.
I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful but I just can't handle this. Â I want random RP not try to hook up with someone via request. Â My apologies for saying this. Â I know what this site is for and finally find myself understanding now. Â I've been doing this the wrong way.
If anyone ever sees Nara'to walking around feel free to bump into him randomly. Â I won't be scheduling play dates, I'll be seeking random RP.
I don't want to sound mean saying this (but it's likely regardless of intent), but what were you really expecting? Sure, yes, there's going to be random RP, but like so many of the other threads that have been opened the past week, if you want to get in "someone's social circle", random RP probably isn't going to do that. Of course we have to schedule things a bit, even if it's relatively simple stuff like "when can I expect you online?" or "hey, are you available now or shortly after?". It isn't as if 100% of RP is set in stone like "this scene will be allocated exactly 43 minutes and 57 seconds. It will begin at 7:03 PM Pacific time because the sun will be setting" strict or anything.
Outside of the tools and advice others have given, I'm not really sure what else can be provided. I speak for myself (and the possible other like-minded individuals) here, but we're not NPCs. The RPC was made to help find RP, and I think it does a pretty good job of that, whether that means you're only checking the calendar for public events (which are great to get to know people) or to post IC stories (which help people gain interest to seek you out) or to find similarly-minded people who are online roughly around the same time as you.
