Re: Cliche RP Elements - Kashemia - 07-20-2010
Never having played the game, I actually think they do. At least from some of the stories I've heard <.<
I still think one of the worst things I've tried was a guy on ARP commenting on my characterprofile that he wanted to "liprape" my character or something along the line. While applying to our guild. I was mortified.
And hehe, yeah, I do know a little slang. But the first time Iroh said something about "Stepping" or "stepping up" or something, as a joke, I was one big question mark

It's really irritating. I've gotten to the point that I hate frequenting the "tavern" of whatever game I'm playing, because I'm afraid of the 'escort' guild types that are always there.
Kashemia Wrote:One thing that drives me crazy is characters who show a great deal of interest in you, and as soon as they discover you're not interesting in roleplaying relationship with them, they lose interest. It doesn't have to be ERP, some people are just only interested as long as the possibility for some relationship melodrama is there.
This. Yes. A million times yes.
It seems like there's no real friendship between characters these days. Don't get me wrong, I love a little bit of romantic undertone and the underlying tension, but it really doesn't make sense to have that with everyone. Seems quite limiting, actually, as to the kind of RP you can really do and range of plausible emotions. I would think it would get boring to do JUST that, but I'm apparently mistaken.

I blame all the manga.

Escort Guilds... There was one of those in Aion >.>
Re: Cliche RP Elements - Kashemia - 07-20-2010
Well, I'm personally open to all friendships! Especially since I've felt weird about doing real romance since I got into a serious relationship <.< I know, I know, keep IC and OOC seperate, but still. Light flirting or something for the sake of a storyline might be fine, but going into a well developed relationship would just feel weird to me.
So friendships, bring them on!
Re: Cliche RP Elements - ArmachiA - 07-20-2010
After awhile that doesn't matter, me and Ellion have never made characters who got along well enough for romance XD. I dunno, for some reason our characters never get together. In Aion I had a thing with Siben (On two characters) and Lloire. Armi being the huge douche nozzle she was, never settled down and lost them both

Im not even sure I want to ask.
...But.. curiosity.
BUH-WUUUUH?!
Re: Cliche RP Elements - Kashemia - 07-20-2010
Actually, despite having roleplayed several characters over the past year, Vahsyl and me haven't really roleplayed romance either for a long while. But I haven't really roleplayed romanticly with anyone else either.
Maybe I'm just not romantic anymore :O
Actually, IF I roleplay romance, it's usually never completely happy. I find that if you end up in a relationship where everything is just perfect, it tends to get very boring to roleplay after a while.
In roleplay that is, in real life, I very much enjoy not having drama in my relationship
Re: Cliche RP Elements - ArmachiA - 07-20-2010
There was an escort guild in Aion called Akutenshi. They started out as a Geisha guild, but that wasn't in lore, so they became.. umm.... an escort guild.
@Kashemia - no one wants to roleplay a happy relationship! It's like a soap opera! All drama, no waiting!... That's my way of saying I'm the same way..
Re: Cliche RP Elements - Kashemia - 07-20-2010
On my server in AoC, there was actually a harlot guild that managed to pull it off well for a while, and actually be one of the more respected guilds on the server. People would hire them for parties, for discrete ERP, or black curtain stuff (just for IC progress), to flirt with them for an evening or stuff like that, and they were really professional about it. Then it started going down hill, and they got a lot of members who were mainly interested in relationships with each other and very public, very explicit ERP.
In general though, those kind of guilds are just... Scary.

Nah, your characters probably just haven't been compatible or interested in anyone you ran into. That's not a bad thing!
My last couple of characters haven't been romantic-oriented either, but that's probably because I had a couple of really bad experiences on an old character a while back and have kinda scared me off of it.

Never really did much in the way of Romantic RP. My characters were either off-putting (Sailor types), or.. just didn't get anyone interested.
*shrug*
Never have planned one specifically for romance.
