Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

[Ammokkx]

GM's that after accepting a character nerf them retroactively by writing the roleplay around a single character's skills and making their skills practically useless indirectly, sometimes in nonsensical ways.
Example: goblins and kobolds are considered as smart as humans to prevent a character using weak mind manipulation on them.

@Ariamis

And here I thought you were going to complain about people not showing up in EoD SoS.

EDIT: Although, to be fair, what you ARE complaining about is slightly annoying too. This been happenin' for a while?

[Ariamis]

@Ammokkx
End of Days? It's been like a year since that ran, and while I liked it to continue, I wasn't angry about it ending. Some RP's just end up dead, no matter how good a community is around them.

Yeah, I've seen it happen a few times. One time it was with a character that used summoned animals to fight. The GM responded by making a rival character that used cyborg dolls AND also had the very same ability as my character had.

@Ariamis

i actually fucked up and meant SoS, keep referring to it as the original EoD

@Ammokkx
Oh, now I see why you brought it up. Sure it's annoying, but patience is a virtue.

Players who don't respect the Private in Private Message.

On that note, if I send a player a PM, and then another player responds from their account, what the heck am I supposed to think of that? I think that's shady! Like, you're one person, don't play me with two accounts, and if you're two people in a room together, stick to your own freaking accounts! I don't want to have to talk to you through another player! What is this, the third grade? If I'm your GM, and I send you a message, I expect you to reply to it, not your buddy Timmy or Randy or Lucy!

@Invader Len

I feel like this is a great time to let off some team.

This may not be a good reason to bitch about, but still. It kinda hurts my feelings. When you put a lot of dedication into your roleplay. Have many ideas for it, and try to be as active as possible. And do what you can to keep it going. But then someone goes missing without even telling you! It's so freaking annoying, to go to a roleplay, express interest, and then have the nerve to slip out without telling anyone. Makes me really, really angry. And then when they are in a roleplay similiar, and they use THE SAME CHARACTER SHEET THEY MADE FOR YOUR ROLEPLAY.

Tell me how you guys would feel about this. I may be in the wrong. But it's kinda just hurts my feelings.

@Chaotic Chao

My thoughts on these matters. Seriously, that's unfair for y'all.

[Tarquin]

So I just saw a GM accept a character sheet....with nothing on it.

Okay, there were SOME things on it. Namely, it had a name, an appearance, age and some other trivial details. However, what hadn't been filled out was the personality, the history, the combat abilities or anything else that was definitely relevant to the roleplay. Am I going nuts, or is that the stupidest thing ever? What's the point in accepting a character when not a single important section of their sheet is complete?

I can kind of understand letting someone post when their sheet isn't 100% complete (i.e. they haven't finished the history or something). I don't approve, but I could understand it. But this? This????

THIS!!?!?!?!?

EDIT: Sorry, I was wrong.

They don't actually have a name.

[NuttsnBolts]

@Tarquin
Boycott the RP, and if they question you leaving, tell them.

Personally I hate WIP char sheets. Just write them up and then post them. Seeing them always feels like the person is setting up grounds to argue if they get declined or the RP closes entries before they finish.

[Tarquin]

Believe me, I had no intention of sticking around once I saw that.

Fortunately, I only once posted on the interest check, so I figure they'll just forget I was ever there if I don't join now.

[boomlover]

That moment when there is a really really good writer in your rp group that is really enjoyable to read. And then just disappears.

[Gowi]

Pretty frustrated about a former player that quit one of my RP's and continues to stalk the RP and troll its chatbox. But not much I can do about offsite harassment.

[boomlover]

UUUUUUUUGH why is it so hard to find an rp you really really like!?

[Heat]

When almost everyone in one of your RP loses interest at the same time and quit the RP.

Just gonna stop making RPs. They always die prematurely.

[boomlover]

@Heat i feel thine pain good sir.

@Heat

RP's are always trial and error, but that shouldn't dissuade us I feel. I can understand the frustration considering you put a lot of work into your RPs.

@Heat

I had a problem akin to this a long time ago, bud. I found a group of people I trusted with my stories and mostly carry on privately or with only select DMs. I don't meet so many great people, but I get to enjoy my games for real.

[Punished GN]

tfw you're interested in an RP, but it looks really meh at the OOC stage.

[Weird Tales]

Not enough young justice roleplays! I want to rp a teenage hero!

@Weird Tales

Then make one. lol

[Unfortunately]

Most of RPG's RPs are becoming uncreative, especially within the Fandom category. Their premises are all too similar, too many of them come from the same source material, and many GMs just pick whatever is popular, even if it's not really plausible.

If it's not young justice then I don't feel the nostalgia
