[quote=@Unfortunately]I get it when people whose native language is not English are poor at it, but given enough exposure to the words of the better-experienced, they should have at least improve after some time. If you think that "alot" is a legitimate word, you got a fuckton of run-ons, and/or you confuse "loose" with "lose", then use that excuse, and I see you got over hundreds of posts in hundreds of days, I'm not going to stop wearing my judging hat. (It's fine if you do it OOC because less effort is needed in mere discussion, unless it becomes unreadable.)[/quote] As someone whose native language is not English and had been through the difficult stage of learning it, I can understand those who are in the same boat as I was back then, trying to improve and be better at English. However, as someone who actually can reach to this level where I can be often mistaken as a native at this language, I'm less forgiving compared to most other RPers, especially at those who think they can get away with using this as excuse not to put in effort to minimize language errors in their IC posts.

And if most, if not all of them are just of the same damn premise. This is why I'm not keen on fandom roleplays.[/quote] While I agree to some extent that popular fandoms are so overdone that they are literally everywhere on the net, and that it's frustrating how these fandoms are so successful that almost no parts of the world is spared from the contagious fever - but that's the point, right? These authors created a universe so huge that is worth exploring beyond what's shown in the canon books with our own personal touch. On a side note, I think that it's quite impossible to actually create a 100.1% original idea that isn't based on anything that ever existed on Earth - you probably think that it's original, but someone will simply tell you that this idea had already been done a million times before you actually thought of it; maybe not exactly the same, but similar (you can see how many different people have been using the same trope way before you were even born). I don't believe in creating an idea out of absolutely nothing - many ideas are often drawing inspirations from existing works/lore and whatnot before mixing with personal knowledge/experiences to give a more original feel to it, but never, like I said before, a [i]completely[/i] original idea that warrant you an exclusive patent right to it.

I know it feels hard on you, but put that lifeless roleplay out to pasture already. Try presenting a different one.[/quote] [b]Bumping[/b] I think it makes more sense to just make ONE interest check thread and edit or add more new stuffs to it rather than creating 34879756176496186732 godzillion new interest threads for each and every new idea that comes to your mind at that very moment, or if that thread got buried under other members' new threads and you're too lazy to dig out your original thread. Just my two-cents. [b]Rebooting[/b] Sometimes a RP died due to various factors i.e. bad luck of getting the wrong cast of players, inexperienced GM, etc. I don't see why people can't reboot an old idea with improvements and give it another shot with the right cast; for GMs, learning from previous setbacks to become better at moderating the RP. RPing is a hobby, not a lifeline job; we're here to enjoy ourselves in the world of fantasy while also learning to improve ourselves, not here for another virtual military camp. --- New Pet Peeve: when the other party may not get the references I'm trying to get across when discussing ideas/settings and stuffs, but instead of asking Google and make an effort to do their own research work, s/he simply chucks me with an "I don't know" and sits back, expecting me to do all the detailed elaboration for them.
