Â When characters are behaving as they ought, and events are happening realistically - sometimes bad things happen, sometimes good things happen, sometimes things are just dull and we scrape together our own entertainment. Â But I agree insofar as I don't like it when characters "win" all the time, or are eternally successful. Â By the same token, it's just as offputting when drama is forever constant and there's never any sort of respite or celebration. Â I like the middle of the road where I can be dragged along on the dangerous, gritty missions... and then get dragged along [usually via peer pressure for my own part] to "tavern RP" or [my favorite] "tea party RP" - which sounds a lot more dull and uninteresting than it usually winds up turning out to be.
Good RP, to me, is a realistic balance - one that provides multiple avenues for developing characters and sharing background realistically.
