I wasn't part of this RP, but I once read an very casual RP about Warrior Cats where the kids writing it kept making what I am pretty sure was accidental innuendo. It was so bad I showed it around to people IRL. I wish I had kept the link.

That I've been in... there was one time where sex scenes became in vogue in an RP I was part of. One guy, trying to keep up with the trend, wrote a sex scene where he described a blowjobs looking like... I think the word was "Headbutting"?

If he was trying to get the roughness across, he succeeded on that, at the very least.

A 1x1 where the other player must have had a broken shift and period key cause apparently writing a single sentence for a multi paragraph RP is a thing.

Might I also add that this person managed to get my character's name wrong... No not a misspelling... My character was, let's say, "Steve", and they called him "Phillip". Like how the fuck does that even happen? Did you even read anything about my characters and the RP?

I had to cringe in a Starcraft Roleplay once when a poorly-written Hydralisk experiment character came on the gyros of my advanced Kallathani scout walker.

You'll excuse me if I won't go into more detail how that particular roleplay went.

I was once part of this horror RP. It was decent at first, some parts actually scary with fairly well-written characters. The plot was going well, until we got to the part where the car our characters were in broke down in the middle of nowhere. Our characters saw a car pull out behind us, so wrote our chars getting out to hitch a ride. Then the bad part came. Our characters went to the passenger side and opened the door...

This ... actually scares me. As someone with a short attention span and likely a phobia towards intimidating text walls (well-written or otherwise), this is a legit horror.

I bet they said they were sleepy and stuff like that when you confronted them.

I was in a roll play. It was pretty good. the writing was on par, the people were friendly, and the story had just the right amount of drama and comedy.

Then the GM decided to introduce an evil god to be the main villain. The evil god saw a goddess that was cosplaying as a maid in a field of white roses. the roses turned black for reasons. The goddess cried. The evil god forced himself onto the goddess while reciting lines from paradise lost.

it all went downhill from there.

As for your story, were they high on something when they posted?

@Pair of Hearts Yay! Another fan!

*Sigh* I actually really like the guy. Can't really say anything bad about him personally. What shocked me so much is that this was the sequel to an RP we completed together! I think it was just a bit of a try hard moment. You don't see an RP completed often, and trying to surpass one of your greatest successes can be a daunting task. I won't lie, I've written plenty of stuff that could be a candidate for this thread. But nothing quite on that level of cringe.

I've had several unhappy experiences in 1x1 Roleplays where my partners would harass me until I posted. I'm not the best with posting and I made that clear in my Interest Check. Regardless of my lack of posting, I would keep into contact with them and give perfectly reasonable explanations as to why I wasn't available to write. I've had to cut off at least two people from posting peer pressure.

Hmmm……… I hope Tabletop experiences count because do I have a tale from the weird side.

It was a game played in the dorm break room by a few friends and oddballs; I suppose I could have simply said oddballs because that’s how we were viewed in general.

Well there was this one guy who had also pushed the envelope where twilight zone level experiences were concerned but who broke through the fourth wall from the other side.

We were playing Rifts which if you are from a sheltered existence is a game that is centered around the ability to travel through dimensions and we’ll Call him Ninja Nick or Nic for short decided to use his ability to walk the Leylines and navigate to this dimension directly; I know “What’s weird about that?”
Well Nic or should I add his character had come looking for his Nic personae’s GF because he had come to negotiate with her on Nic’s behalf.

It was so strange that I and the GM sat there two hours later trying to decide on whether to call the Butterfly net squad or inform the RA, in the end we had pizza at our favorite place and drank three pitchers of beer

...'twas a strange roleplay indeed.

And in retrospect, I'm not entirely sure the other player was old enough to write those scenes (that was far from the end), which makes me wonder which was worse >.>

Oh oh, I have two from AGES ago that I'll never ever forget XD:

One time there was this person in a small group RP that I GMd and they basically went out of their way to get their character together with mine just to magically bring back his dead wife and then have him make a huge thing out of it and go out of their way to try and make her as miserable as possible (such as literally killing off all other characters who had shown interest in her so she HAD to get with this guy just so he could fuck her over a few IC months later)
This same person also would make up random lore on the spot for these characters that everybody else's characters were all supposed to know and respect but the lore things that I had set out AS GM FOR BACKGROUND OF THE RP were shat all over and never followed by them because they didn't want to and it conflicted with their stupid on the spot lore which they kept changing every couple of posts. Then I was bratty and unreasonable as a GM for finally getting the hell in and trying to tell them to get their shit together or piss off basically T_T and like I'm sorry but I wasn't being unreasonable by that and I'll stand by that because the way they behaved was a joke (especially since they were supposed to be 5 years OLDER than me, and I was only like...14 or 15 at the time? O_o)

Then another one was a fandom 1x1 I did where the character was such a broody Gary Stu that it was painful. Literally every post they wrote, while it kept to the 1 or 2 paragraph length of Casual we had agreed on in our pre-RP discussion it was LITERALLY two paragraphs of this guy internally monologuing and whining about his tragic back story where his whole family died and his village blamed him for it when it wasn't his fault and exiled him etc. etc. You get the idea XD and they never moved the canon plot forward AT ALL, even though we'd agreed to run it as "canon plot with our OCs added into the adventure". So when I got annoyed and pointed this out to them asking them to actually help row the boat with me they flew off the handle at me acting like I was demanding they write 6+ paragraphs of detail post every half hour and I'm like....dude, no. I asked you to stop writing nothing but "oh woe is me look at the special snowflake me feel sorry for me" in silent brooding that the other characters can't even HEAR to respond to even if I wanted to constantly write "oh grow up and get over yourself damn it" and actually contribute to the plot. XD

Needless to say I don't roleplay with either of them anymore LOL

Chick lied to me both about her motivations for joining the RP, and about why she wanted me to change my character. The two are interrelated: she wanted the 1x1 to blossom into her crummy little wish-fulfillment romance RP where the princess gradually falls in love with her loyal, devoted guardian-knight.

My character was too ugly for her, but her way of trying to convey this to me was by claiming he was "too old" instead.

I managed to catch her lie because the alternative portrait she offered to me was of Aragorn, who in the 2001 film was played by a 43-year-old actor, and who in the books is in his eighties due to his Numenorean lineage. Yeah, she, uh, never read the books.

I tried to stick it out but then she stopped posting in the IC. Went totally cold-shoulder on me. Which usually I hate, but honestly I was very grateful for in this case. lol.

Maybe I'll block out her name and post the screenshots. It's pretty funny in retrospect.

Oh jeez these all sound painful X( This one didn't happen to me, and the site it was on closed down long ago and the rp was deleted, but it irritates me to even talk about.

My friend started an rp on this site with very little... rp moderation. The admins didn't moderate the stories/rp section much at all, you couldn't edit posts, and in retrospect it was kind of a scrapped together type of thing. No split OOC and IC tabs, you get the deal. They made the rp, with a decent plot from what I remember, and set it up. Some people applied, and while my friend, the creator of the rp, was asleep, these people just started posting. They didn't wait to be accepted. My friend woke up to see that the rp they planned to be low casual (like, a paragraph or 2?) turn into like 180 posts of quick one liners. It was ridiculous. My friend tried talking to the people and saying they hadn't been accepted and weren't posting up to standard, and I tried to support them, but the people just kept posting and ignoring my friend. I don't remember clearly but they may have lashed back a bit? In a sense of 'Oh we joined and we've been rping for a while so we'll keep doing it stop being mean!' or something. My friend contacted the mods to delete the rp in the end, which sucks, and that happening to me is one of my biggest fears in the rping universe x.x

If anyone wants to look at the portrait of the guy who was "too old" in full scale, I have him saved in an album on my Guild profile. I'm pretty sure Yoshitaka Amano couldn't paint an old person even if he wanted to, what with how ethereal his style is, but...fuck logic.

PAHAHAHA wow. The portrait you supplied doesn't even look older though? XD and don't get me wrong I love Aragorn as a character (and gosh damn Viggo looked good for his age and probably still does lmao) this person clearly had a terrible case of fangirl-itis; anything that wasn't that specific character/personality would have been 'wrong' for some hilarious reason like that XD
