Revamping the RP Community � by and Elezen who cares

[Eva]

And when someone breaks out of the mold and actually RPs with me, I often get, "Wow... this isn't what I expected, I thought you/Oskar was a complete " lol

To be fair, Oskar can be a real turd sometimes. As an RPer though, for whatever it may be worth, I have never had anything short of fun when our characters have interacted - even if he was being kind of a douche ICly. Without getting into any sort of longwinded character analysis and derailing the purpose of this thread, I just wanted to throw that out there.

 

@Aysun - I think we're on the same page, personally. I don't know too many RPers here that are into that half-demon, half-princess, half-platypus, half-antling style of yuckiness. I just wanted to throw a legitimate example of something where there are differing opinions. Certain in-game storylines hint at things which some might argue are outlandish and don't want to RP with - I'm looking at you THM storyline. I'm not saying any of it is right, and I'm not saying any of it is wrong. Different people are always going to look at the same lore items and interpret it differently. I wasn't targeting anything you said. (and Eva's not half-wolf, don't worry lol)

The long and short of it to me is that SE is keeping the lore in a constant state of flux recently, so what was passibly acceptable one day, might be completely ommited the next. let's be fair to to whatever roleplay style and/or story a person makes up for their character, give them a chance to flesh it out. some people just go over the top because they (like many of us in a way...i think all rp'ers are guilty of it imo.) want to make a character that stands out in a crowd. Is that a good thing, sure it is, in a sense, as long as it's something that won't like suck the air out of a room when we see that person coming. i've started to fix and revamp my own wiki for just that instance, in an attempt to at least be more in -line with lore, and to also be more approachable. hopefully at least for my part it helps.

If it's ok I'll give my take on all this, because it happens every once in a while it seems.

Just talk it openly with the person that you think was rude or over the top, or whatever, we are all in for the RP, otherwise we wouldn't even bother right?

 

Just some things to keep in mind.

Nobody is absolutely right. Ever. Because it's all perspective, just like the colors we see are mere translations from our brains of things we can't even know for sure are there.

 

Everyone messes up. And you know it, me, you, everyone eventually messes up. Just like this extremely coordinated and not at all subordinated sentences.

 

Unless someone get's in the way of you doing your thing theres really nothing wrong with it. Other people are not responsible for the mood you want in your story.

 

It's very unlikely that anyone that wants to RP will go in a self-centered craze and dismiss an attempt to work out the rp to it's best if you talk it out politely (not extra-nice, just politely).

 

That is all my opinion.

 

And as a closing note, the only thing I think might be wrong with it is shunning people at all, unless they are being throughly disrespectful, like as said above as in trash-talking, etc. And even then, odds are it can be worked out. It's all an exercise of maturity.
