Just got back and read all this and they were pretty interesting since i had to research all these acronyms.
So from what i have gathered from all of the comments is that everyone is more or less drawn to rp because of the love of storytelling even if it is something small like a side story. It is the desire to know more or immerse yourself into the world that is the appeal of rp, from what I've gathered anyway.
From my view, getting into this because you wish to improve your writing skill is also a fun and effective way to go about it too. It is difficult to get the background or objective of a character to work with the overall goal or nature of the world, nevermind the reactions to other different characters created and controlled by other people.
This was a very fun to read all in all and it was surprisingly informative. I learned new acronyms and found board games I've never heard of. It was also interesting to see how this could improve one's story building and writing. All in all, this was beyond interesting(btw teadrinker, you're gonna have to do a lot better than that if you want me to cringe)
