I would be so up for this.

If you had made a Parks and Rec one too, I would've called Andy Dwyer instantly.

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

@Clear That sounds like an unfortunate circumstance, sometimes people aren't actively trying to be mean but they are ignorant of how they're treating others. Kind of sucks when your the kind of person who can realise such things, and even more when it happens to you.

I think my major problem is I get very bad social anxiety with people I don't know. It's not so bad on a site like this in which I can stay completely anonymous, and to some extent I don't mind meeting people in person IF it's in a relaxed setting with friends. (Meeting a teacher or boss or something just fucks with me). I just get very anxious talking to someone I don't know on the phone or over the internet (Voice not IM) so I find it pretty difficult to find new gaming buddies because they all want to use game chat and I just hate the idea. I have to rely on my current friends to play games online and well, we know how that went.

You don't play 7 Days to Die do you? :P

@Brink

I hear ya especially since I have social anxiety too!

I haven't heard of that game before. I own a PS4 and Wii U which is where I play all of my games. I wish my computer had the capacity to play games but it can only handle so much. ;~;

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

So I don't have many friends to play games with, and I'm having a difficult time in my personal life at the moment so such things would be a welcome distraction. So when a friend tells me, months after he rejected the idea of playing Battlefleet Gothic, that he will be buying it and then promptly plays it with a different friend instead, it kind of hurts. Whats more I have recently picked up 7 days to die with another friend after a long time not playing it, we talk about when we should play, he says Friday probably not Wednesday. I go on discord and he is playing 7 days today (Wednesday) with other friends.

Sucks to be bottom of everyone's list.

@Brink

I definitely know how that feels, even offline.

I had a "friend" and her cousin invite me to the movies two months ago and I was genuinely happy to see them because I hadn't seen them in so long. Turns out the whole night and sleepover were set up for me to be the third wheel. It was so awful, I hadn't felt like that in so long. I enjoyed the movie a lot (I went to see Nerve) but I did not enjoy their so-called company. The whole time, they wanted to catch up on each other when they saw each other every weekend so I didn't understand that. I also didn't understand why they even wanted me there. I thought going to their house would be better but they made me sleep on the floor. No mattress, sleeping bag, nothing, while the cousin slept on one. I didn't say anything because I had already decided to stop being friends with them and that's what I did.

Even well into my twenties, and I'm 22, I struggle a lot to make friends. I'm pretty shy but I warm up easily to others. I just always felt different from others -- not to sound like a humble brag either. It just takes me a lot to connect with people. I'm not really anti-social just selectively social because I don't want to waste time with people who I don't feel connected to.

The same goes for gaming. I play online multiplayer but don't have anyone to play it with but I still have fun anyways. It doesn't hurt to have someone though, even if it's just one person. The same applies offline and not just for gaming.

Hey!

Welcome to the guild. I find that it's important to have a strong character-focus and plot-focus, since without both the world usually lacks. Anyway, all the best.

@Shoryu Magami

Thanks!

Definitely.

I just enjoy the characterization process more but I sure do love brainstorming for plots and worlds!

Hey!

Clear, here! Or CL, you choose. I've been roleplaying for over a decade now and going strong. I'm into almost all kinds of roleplays but I can be very picky too. I don't like smut, fantasy, steampunk, and cyberpunk to name a few. I play all genders but my least favorite pairing has to be MxM; just a personal preference. I am more character-driven than I am plot-driven and love character building over world building. I do original and some fandom (I don't like Canon x OC) roleplays. For those who request it, I'm happy to give writing samples too.

Thanks for having me!
