Apologies to all writing partners both current & prospective. Been sick for two weeks straight (and have to go to work regardless). No energy. Can't think straight. Taking a hiatus. Sorry again.

Where's the personality? The flavor? the drama? The struggle? The humanity? The texture of the time and the place in which this conversation is happening? In a word: where's the story?

"Keep the speeches off the feed, too. Your allies might have something to say while you're yapping." Troy didn't expect to be that important speaker—not at that distance away from ground zero—not when his sensors and radar were not much better than those belonging to the rest of the team. He kept his finger pressed to the mic button a few moments interim. He tried to remember what he wanted to say next.

Oh, yeah. "Cam, do we even know yet whether they're bogeys? Over."

Grudgingly he realized he really ought to get into battle position. Or at least sit up straight. Pulling his feet off the dashboard, fighting the sluggish resistance they gave off like a cooling molasses, he rested them delicately against the lower pedals, and set his beer down so that it wouldn't spill during the Chicken's march, if things came to that. He wasn't sure whether the risk of pain and death was worth breaking the drudgery and boredom of patrolling this frigid bitch of a moon, but he obsessed over his radar screen nonetheless, watching as the two groups of dots began to converge.
huh? who?
One thing I'm noticing when people make assholes is that they tack something like "has a sensitive side" or "Is really a nice guy" at the end of their personality section. But, never showing it in their IC-posts.

I'm guilty of this myself, but there are other, more organic, ways of showing your character isn't a total cunt, or just writing down their dickish aspects like they really want to so people will like their character.


"Jerk with a heart of gold" is a coward's trope. It's for the people who want to RP as "badass" douchebags, but who don't want to suffer the IC consequences of pissing off the other players. Because if you hate their characters when they reveal how kindhearted they are through some selfless deed or other, that makes you look like the asshole. And they're relying on that fact.

B-BUT I'M SUCH A GOOD GUY DEEP DOWN, YOU CAN'T HATE ME :'3

Like hell I can't, you fucking pussy poseur.
Just write a fucking IC post already you weebshits jesus christ
At this time name changes are, unfortunately, not something that mods have the ability to do. You're welcome to put in a request to Mahz, but it may be a while before he's able to get to you. Otherwise, you're welcome to make a new account under the desired name, but that's really all that I can recommend for you options-wise at present.

On the old site we were allowed to send requests to the mods for name changes, but it seems they don't want to perform this service anymore.
@Sanctus Spooki Literally no GM has ever complained about having too many players.
I can't stand the ones who either yell, or else to the other, just because of 'the lenght', and then expect the other to match the other, while treating them like trash, yes, i understand the envy to not be bored, no, there is a better attitude than this one, no one is a machine programmed for that.

The whole 'i hate one-liners', for what? for wich reasons? maybe some can't write a lot, why not asking? i came accross a lot of profiles communities who were like that, acting like they are 'the kings/queens' of the RPs, i despise that.

this is all i have for the moment.


Yeah, I haven't ended up writing a one-liner in a 1x1 (yet), but I make it clear to all my partners from the get-go that IDGAF about post length, so it certainly "can" happen. If I only have one sentence's worth of contribution to add to the scene, I'm not going to puff that sentence out into two or three paragraphs through redundancy, tautology, and fluff.

I haven't had anything to bitch about in a while thanks to a batch of lovely RP partners, but this is definitely the sort of language which turns me off to someone when I'm reading his/her Interest Check.

@NuttsnBolts But you're describing a length ceiling, a maximum post length, and I'm 99% sure this doesn't exist anywhere in the Guild. No one is forcing you to write short posts if you RP in Casual or Free, so that logic doesn't fly.
7 is the best
9 is 7 except with funkier characters and worse storyline
8 is trash
10 if you like easy campaigns
6 has great storyline, but only if you're willing to accept very bad graphics


You should have revealed the fact that you're a graphicsbabby at the beginning of the post. Then people would be able to discard your opinion sooner and waste less time reading it.

@Awson Generally @BrobyDDark is correct, but 9 is the one game in the series, of those I've played, which I can recommend wholeheartedly. It has great atmosphere, decent storytelling (by videogame standards as a whole, not FF standards (because the series' storytelling is ass, but 9 is the least ass)), and more intriguing characters both visually and narratively.
The fact that the author, the show-runners, etc, refuse to pander to their audience for any "fan favorites"


Except Daenerys, Jon Snow, and Tyrion. GRRM's books have "main characters" like any other, but he's talented at tricking his audience into thinking minor characters (who are going to die later) are actually the protagonists.

All three of these characters have plot armor, especially Ms. Mary Sue.
Actually, Mag, we're probably gonna have to drop out of this one. Fyre and I agreed that the characters we want to play, while they'd make great villains, are probably too OP for the current cast of characters. We should bring them where they'll cause less conflict with the setting and with the protagonists.

Good luck with the RP. Hope it succeeds this time!
