Probably not a compatible RPer anyway, so just part ways and find someone else.Yea, I had thought that maybe it was my style of rp. I was thinking I should change it to cater to the masses. It seems, from my perspective and experience, that bar chatter/random banter/conversation is the more widely popular rp style. I've always felt that every action or conversation must have some underlying meaning. Always felt it hard to grasp the concept of random idle talk. I sought to change that mindset.
And also yes, the onus is on them to initiate conversation. I guess that's why I don't really go out RP in the open with random people. I know the people I RP with at least OOCly, even if it's the first time, and we always both decided to RP so... it doesn't happen.
