1. When I play a female character, I get much more roleplay. Instantly with the same or other groups.
   
2. People don't want to roleplay with quiet bookish characters, or characters who are more neutral with their emotions. People want a character who over-reacts or is vibrant about X, Y, Z.
   
3. If I offer to help it is instantly pushed aside for someone.
   
4. If I set up plot, it is put aside for other rp with other people.
   
5. Even after introducing myself and roleplaying for a few god hours, I wont be contacted again for further roleplay - by anyone.
   

• IC Dungeons runs for 'research' or adventuring purposes.
  
• A plot dealing with poachers and chocobo chick thieves.
  
• Researching Leviathan.
  

1. This is due to a number of reasons, but a fairly inoffensive one is the fact male characters are more common than female characters.
   
2. That's not entirely true. Quiet bookish characters are much harder to interact with (and to RP effectively) because they give little feedback - so people have very little to work with. I have an alt, Maliqa, with that problem. She plays best against cheery types who will initiate conversation, and I tend to warn people that it'll take time for her to open up.
   
3. Offer to help with what, precisely?
   
4. That is an unfortunate reality when setting up plots. Out of several interested people, usually only a few will stick around - even when they're the ones setting the plot up.
   
5. Lies and slander. I owe you RP and I still think Naih would be a sweet traveling companion for Elissa so they can geek out over science. My main issue is having tons of alts - I get very little RP on each of them per week compared to people with just one.
   

• Try being less specific with IC dungeon runs. Everyone is there, each person can have their own reason. Or they're there because they have to be. It's easier than trying to get different characters to have the same objective.
  
• It's very, very hard to get other people involved in specific plots because characters generally need reasons to be doing things. Elissa, for instance, wouldn't care about poachers and chocobo chicks. She would need a reason to be involved - something that interests her.
  
• Again, it's hard to get others involved in specific plots when their characters don't take a particular interest in the topic. Again with Elissa - she would research Leviathan, because it's a primal. She would also research every other primal. None of my other alts would be interested, and there are 6 of them!
  

• I'd love to do IC dungeon runs, but with the timer I feel incredibly restricted by it.
  
• Pay Val enough and he'd gladly go after some thieves =)
  
• Sadly, Val doesn't much do research and he isn't incredibly intelligent. He can go find things and protect someone doing the research, but as far as making assumptions himself--well. It just isn't in him!

First off, I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience, and I'm sure RPC doesn't want to seem cold and closed. I think is some of the issue might just be because the RPC exploded in size, theirs a lot going on and you might have to keep pushing until you find a good place.

I've had quite a few of my ideas seem to fail, and many of my RP threads didn't go anywhere until I went out and asked people in my linkshell to join my threads. That's my first piece of advice is to seek out people in your linkshell or on the forums and ask them to join you sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't (or somebody hasn't been on the forums recently.)

You could also find a linkshell that uses something like skype for OOC chat, I think thats why the Hipparion Tribe is so active is we are always just bringing up random stuff whether pertaining to RP or not, and as people become more comfortable around each other they tend to talk more.

I can't say much for in game roleplaying much I really haven't been involved in much random RP, but most of it was planned out of game, or I specifically set up meetings with people.

On the bookish characters I guess it depends, I would decribe K'mana as bookish her main love being history of her tribe but being a huntress in her tribe means that she must have certain skills. But her love of history and her tribe is what I use to drive her storyline, currently involving finding missing members of her tribe, but even then I've only recieved one "clue"(reply) to my article, so far even in our active linkshell, but I just keep pushing it along.

Looking at your ideas something such as chocobo thieves would be something that would affect the Hipparion Tribe, if you still looking to persue something like that. I don't know much about your characters history, so I can't say if you'd like to be a part of the tribe but if you do I'm sure naunet could find you a spot in the Keeper branch. We'd might have to wait a week or so to see where the Tribe might be moving to before we set something in motion like chocobo thieves, but the tribe does use them for their hunting, and I think we'd be very upset if someone was making off with them.

It would be interesting to get involved with a Sun Seeker tribe as I wished to of found a keeper tribe for my own character. But several threads and a failing LS later I've realised that no one really cares about tribal Miqo'te unless you're a sunseeker.

Sadly; my character has a very SOUR opinion of sun seeker tribes due to one particular K' Nunh he has met. He doesn't approve of that tribe at all if they are putting such a person in command.

Though I would definitely be interested in a one on one rp, maybe as an adventuring group?
