No joke, Ameline and I RPed last night - although we all know Mel was referring to Edda Vincents. Unrelated, I generally feel like crying when someone asks me to RP, even if I have a tough time believing it, I consider it a huge honor. I'm sure most RP celebs feel the same way, so don't hesitate.

I am also intimidated by Jancis and Edda and often cry when they ask me to RP with them >_>

They are both intimidating and super-nice at the same time!!

Back off bitches, I'm Edda's #1 fangirl.

You can be #2.

Confessions, eh?

I got terribly, thoroughly sucked into three goals for Heavensward: getting BRD to 50 (done), getting MNK to 50 (I'm at 49), and riding the wake with MNR until I made 60 (done) and made as much gil as I could. I've multiplied my fortune by a factor of seven since the expansion dropped, but I got sucked into the Red Scrip grind...

Why does it matter? Because it all sucked the RP right out of me. It's only in the last week that I've felt able to start breaking out of that grind, with the realization that poor Nathan has pretty much lived and breathed by 11pm/11am Eorzea time everyday (and if you are a max level miner, you know what that means...). I wanted that Red Scrip gear. I still want it.

In the interim, my main RP partner had a schedule change that's left us having trouble scheduling time, and Soliloquy has rather dissolved because I haven't taken up the slack to try to rebuild it / keep it going. I even missed the Celebration of the Builder. Me, who has NEVER missed one ever before, missed one. It doesn't sound like much, but those who know me might recognize that as a big symptom.

I've talked / passed by several folks with whom I've RPed a lot before and... well, the grind just called me back. It's only been this week that I realized that I don't NEED to keep up the pace anymore. Everything else I want from the game can be obtained at a casual pace, now (since I'm not planning to do Alexander anytime soon, nor do I really have any reason to get more gear for the single purpose of... running Alexander more)

So... I've slacked off, and I've felt stuck in that self-fulfilling prophecy of wondering if I can catch up, feeling intimidated by the effort I know is involved, and getting mired in the downward spiral it creates... and I'm the same person who's been able to walk into the QS any old time and pretty much RP with anyone, at the drop of a hat.

Of course, this week it's been trying to get the Moonfire Faire outfits for a number of alts, and even with the Battered Fish, that takes time. Having one of my parents in the hospital for a week, who was just released last Sunday, didn't help either.

So, yeah, my confession is that I've felt stuck in the mire and stupidly intimidated by the sheer effort I'll need to try to get back in good with everyone I used to do more with, and rebuild those bridges. But, the truth is there ain't no way to get started except by getting started, so I'm gonna try. Now, where can I find a good fire to light under the ol' arse...

And I don't even really know Edda to know whether I oughta be a fan or not, but I do try to keep an emergency, inflatable fainting couch should I get too close to Jancis Wink

Yes, I too have made some goals in game that had been keeping me far too occupied. I really do not want to fall far too behind again like I did ARR. Heck when the expansion launched, my characters were all still at the 2.1 story line because I had no interest in continuing no matter how many people would tell, " zomgz it sew gewddd " Seriously, many people would tell me it was so good in that sort of way. I actually did catch up with one character, in fact I got 3 of my characters to Ishgard which was not a fun grind. I been keeping myself far too busy to RP, and whenever I contact people to RP they seem to be very busy too with " keeping up " too which is not a bad thing.

Otherwise I have seen several confessions that would apply to me in this thread. Such as Quality of life RP will always be secondary to me as I prefer adventure and conflict and just open world/dungeon diving RP. I do not ERP, I have tried it in the past but my ERP partner got far too creepy which really turned me off from it completely. My characters are all inspired from my GW2 & SWTOR characters I had in the past. It's too bad I was not able to complete their overall stories but hopefully with FFXIV I can. I will do walk ups if the player has it listed on their Character Info, but only if they are alone really. I do tend to lean more toward the /tell before I approach though just in case the person is actually AFK, I know I wander away from my keyboard often and it can be awkward talking to a person not exactly there.

I'm always worried that my RP is extremely boring and slow when I RP with new people.

Yeah I always feel the same way...especially when I get ooc requests for people to want to RP with them, cause it makes me afraid I'm not going to live up to their expectations. Kinda makes me glad I'm not one of the famous people, since I can only imagine them being bombarded with constant requests.

Oroban · **08-18-2015, 07:45 PM**

Now I want to harass all the shy people for RP. Except I'm shy too. Foiled again. D<
(For example of that RP celebrity thing, I was on a skype call with a friend when I saw Edda AFKing the other day and it popped into my head to mention it. I don't know why.)

Since we're on the topic of ERP.

Confession is every time I go somewhere I pray to god almighty there's a ERP session happening nearby and they mistell if only once and I can clearly read it.
