There have been times when I've gone to the Quicksand and emoted for hours to get nothing--especially if I'm on my alt. Val tends to get noticed or interacted with because people know him and he's a catboy.
My Midlanders? I even emoted one bumping into someone else, or spilling his drink on someone, or asking someone else questions--all different days--all ignored.
Honestly, like I said before, it's very very easy to miss someone emoting at you or to you. Did you send them a /tell?
I have, actually! Sometimes they respond, sometimes it continues to be ignored. As Aya said, results may vary. It really just depends on luck and time of day/person.

You're confusing the active rpc community you're engaging with here for the overall rp community on Balmung - they overlap but aren't the same

I'm not sure why people are trying to make it seem like sforze is making himself out to be a victim. I'm certainly not getting that vibe from any of his posts.

I'm going to have to agree. He has not come off as a victim at all in this. Instead, the OP is simply throwing his story out there and seeing if he's the only one feeling this.
As someone who does go out of their way to talk to people in the Quicksand, I can 100% tell you that his experiences are not limited to him. I don't think that this thread was unreasonable, and I think that people who are pushing his post off as something that he just isn't doing correctly or whatnot are ignoring the problem. There ARE people who RP who deliberately ignore other RPers. Is it everyone, no. But is it a noticeable portion, sure. Â I could tell you exactly who I got the cold shoulder from, on more than one occasion, but that doesn't help the situation either. I think threads like this are simply a call to action. We should be looking at this and thinking, "Damn, what can I do to help make sure this doesn't happen anymore," not looking at the OP and saying, "You're doing it wrong." That's exactly why people leave communities. |

We should be looking at this and thinking, "Damn, what can I do to help make sure this doesn't happen anymore," not looking at the OP and saying, "You're doing it wrong." ^^^^^^^^ This. To be honest, I was kind of bummed out seeing how many new folks are having such a hard time getting RP rolling. While it's great that we're offering bits of advice here, I feel like we should also be thinking about how we can do more to help others out. We're not obligated to take in every single person that comes our way into our RP -- but that also doesn't mean we shouldn't adjust our behavior a little to help others find and get RP in our community. If it means just RPing in the Quicksand a little each week, or trying to greet one new person that you've never met before every once in a while -- what could it hurt? I'm currently slammed by work for the next four weeks, so it's hard for me to even manage to get RP for myself beyond a couple of hours on the weekends, but once I have sweet, sweet freedom, I would be down for collaborating with others on creating icebreakers or ways for others to enter the fold with less trouble. |

However, IF that is true, then I'm truly at a loss how such thing is possible actually. Following what others wrote here as suggestions, and doing what I do (and described in my post), I find myself currently drowning in roleplay. So perhaps I simply can't see / don't see this struggle, or don't understand how it can be as dire as described.
The answer to this thing you cannot fathom is in the post title. You are part of a clique that you benefit from. The people who have tried the same thing as you have aren't, and therefore haven't. You're the leader of an FC, aren't you? I mean, c'mon... You can't possibly mean what you wrote there literally. You're a smart guy, you can figure it out. As for how you were able to get into that clique? I bet the community was once a lot more welcoming before people got established and set in their ways. Aya mentioned earlier how a lot of people have retreated to their FC Housing for RP. That's a microcosm of changing attitudes towards inclusivity, I wager. And it doesn't matter how hard you try to be included if people simply ignore what you write. |

Calling a FC a clique is a bit underhanded in my opinion, given that we're not very exclusive and do welcome any interest with open arms.Â
As for I 'can't mean it, I do entirely mean it. This FC here is something that I've created throughout the span of a week (Which is roughly the period of time since I returned) Nigh everyone except for two people are entirely fresh, new people to me that I've met through initiating OOC contact and so on. Infact, if at all, me having made this FC / Linkshell and RP group 'exactly' during this time is the complete anti-thesis to the point raised in this topic ; that it's hard to find RP here. Infact, I am quite sure I would even have far more Roleplay if I simply opted to choose one of the bigger RP-FC's currently out there recruiting. And there are plenty. |
