Quote:Caex, you need a wiki for Caex so I can figure out who to bludgeon him with. I feel like your flower can hang out with Tahz and Karu. I really hope I don't wind up regretting that statement later.you're right as hell. I need to work on Caex's RPC some more. It's so incomplete compared to A'ry's. x.x I also need to learn how to draw or something to get some pictures up.Â
I do see alot of points, and I just can't help but wonder how much of it is common social anxiety, and how much of it is genuinly feeling unable to get any breakthrough RP with people. I've very often been sitting and RP'ing with someone, only to see some kind of 'thing' breakout nearby, whcih they quickly shuffled off after. To me that's extremely strange and it's just broadcasting - like I said. It's attention-ish.Â
Quote:Think about it this way: If me and some friends are at a bar talking about a hunting trip and someone we don't know is all "I love hunting! Take me with you!" we're not going to humor him.
But would you tell them that IC'ly? I think that's the most important thing. there's a number of times I've tried to make IC posts at people to try and garner some degree of attention, and don't even get a nod of the head back in turn. Being IC is the biggest thing for me in this capacity, and perhaps my reluctance to be OoC is the biggest issue I have (The only time I go OoC is when I have -major- issues with people.)Â
Quote:"Story begins at X location, Y events happen, Z conclusion scene."
It's moreso that these events that I see are "Story begins at X location With A group, Y events happen with B group, and Z conclusion with C group" - the RP isn't really 'open' at all, and most people seem very preoccupied with their own stories to try and mix and intertwine stories.Â
Mind you, my major weakness is that I'm just acting out a character, and I can't write plots for shit.
 So perhaps I'm just not seeing good enough ways -to get in-. Quote:Just because it's a public space doesn't necessarily mean that the people have any sort of obligation to involve others.
Oh, definitely not saying to be forced to include people. But I do think people should show consideration when choosing to RP in certain spots of high density like the Quicksand. If you want an inclusive event, do it in party at that point and disable your nearby text, or do it on the forums/in skype. But if you're gonna do an RP and have things drawing attention to yourself, what's the point of doing it there? It just feels inconsiderate at that point.Â
I do love when people clearly are trying to involve those around them - that's a great RP'er in my book.Â
Quote:What are your available playtimes, out of courosity's sake.I mostly try to RP in the afternoons since that's the usual "Peak" time.Â
