Everybody wants that fire IC but nobody wants to GM it.

If you're roleplaying with your only friends, you're roleplaying with your best friends.

I think to sell someone on an interest check, it's really important to seem enthusiastic about your own idea. That means writing more than a single sentence to attract potential players.

Bio
W I T H R I G H T E O U S H A N D S
Did you know that Dante's inferno is called a divine comedy because things work out for the protagonist? Back in the day, the only two genres were comedy and drama. The only difference was that in a comedy, the protagonist is better off at the end, and a drama is the opposite. So that's why a story about going through hell can still be considered a comedy, even if it's not funny.
Name:
Broken Promise, BP, Boss
Age:
Old enough to know better, too young to care. (that is to say 30's)
Preferred RPs:
I Prefer to make my own, but will occasionally join something if it looks interesting. I'll join just about anything so long as it isn’t overly edgy/sweet, though it's rare for me to do. I don't do 1x1s too often either.
Preferred Roles:
I tend to play adorable characters everyone wants to befriend or proper assholes everyone wants to stay away from. I try not to play moral paragons or prime evils.
RP Conquests:
I've completed quite a few RP's off site, but most of them are on private forums or have simply been lost to the ravages of server crashes. As for stuff here, I'm sure everyone who sees me post in the off topic sections has seen me find an excuse to talk about Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage. It's a project that took over 4 years to complete and I feel pride not only for myself but all the wonderful people who helped make it enjoyable during its run. Re: Zero: The High Council Is technically my first, but it was just something I kind of took over and ended up ending the story after just six months. It finished, but eh...
Last RP I finished was Symphony of Espers which turned out pretty good.

RP's in progress:
For some reason I can't seem to stay away from Ari's magical girl RP, even if I'm not sure why I'm still in it.
As for my own projects, I'm doing Symphony on High to continue the gigachad adventures of the espers in Pax Septimus.

RP Graveyard:
I've been pretty fortunate on this forum. I think I joined one when I first came on the site that didn't really do anything, and there are a few 1x1 things that didn't go anywhere. It's disappointing when an RP ends before it can be finished, but I've come to look at them as learning experiences.
And then there's that london magical girl RP, and that dark magical girl RP. I think I'm done joining magical girl RPs for a while.

I watch a lot of educational videos on youtube. Usually as research for something I’m writing or purely because a topic interests me. I like channels like Tier Zoo and Daryl Talks Games, and I’ll also watch things like Critical Drinker or Literature Devil to deepen my understanding of story telling. Though I also like memes and jokes, to which I’ll find myself watching stuff like Sseth, but usually find myself surfing through meme videos. I gotta work on that.
Games
I have a rather long history of playing virtually every platformer to come into existence during the indie boom, as well as quite a few other indie games. I’ve played Meatboy, Binding of Issac, Gunvolt, Cuphead, Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt, Classic Metroid, Warcraft 3, Final Fantasy 7,8, and 14, Left 4 Dead, Shantae, Celeste, Danganronpa, God Eater, the list goes on. What I’ve played is kind of all over the place. I don’t play many games these days, I tend to pick things that look interesting and go on a decent steam sale.
Painting Minis
I do this in moderation. Otherwise, it's a pretty expensive hobby to start...
Music
I listen to everything, save most country/rap songs. I have too many favorites to name.
Personality:
Not one to take life or the internet too seriously. Is only serious about writing well and having a good time.
People to Insult:
Dalton is a Dingus.

@Mateotis That's what being the infinite poet is. It's not settling for mere ultimate level poetry. He's gotta keep pressing that envelope!
In other news, I changed Damiyon's notes to character notes, and that section now contains a few entries from Cyrus's list. It's more or less becoming a section to house unsolved mysteries. Once the prelude is over, maybe we can start chipping away at a few of them.

I'd like to tackle the question from a more philosophical angle. Rather than looking at it as a plea to stop shitposting, maybe we are being asked if it is possible to stop shit posting. As in, can we stop ourselves from the act of shitposting, or is the call too great?
It's gettin' real.
Editing in a notification does not notify, @Mistiel. Something to remember for the future. I've been betrayed many times by that, haha!
I was just thinking of a simple plug that turned digital data into memories inside the brain. There would be no wifi or other ways to connect to people. The Progenitors would likely control all of the equipment anyway, so you'd only get a download when and if they let you.
I was thinking of something that is less words but more sound. It would be less "I love this person with all my heart!" and more "La la la LA LA LA JAAAAA!" Or something. But it does present its own flaws. You would still need to practice them, as one example. This is true if you go for "sound" songs or "word" songs.
And neither of the above really prevents small groups from making up their own sign language. It wouldn't be terribly complicated, but people would find ways to commute simple ideas like "lets go shopping/have sex/go to the movies." you could give people crippling arthritis, but they can still trace things with their feet. you would have to be pretty thorough to prevent someone from finding some way to express themselves. I'm not sure what the solution is.

Very interesting idea. Unfortunately, It's a bit difficult to present the idea in its purest form and also have it make sense. We can only speak about 10 thousand words, but we also have crippling arthritis, learning disabilities, and bubble life to contend with. Forget going insane, I'd kill myself out of fuckin' boredom under these conditions!
I actually think there are two very simple methods you can employ, one or the other, that could make such a world work without needing a million other things to have it make sense.
#1: people can download information directly into our brains. Kind of like the matrix. However, the Progenitors have controll over what kinds of information we are allowed to have. For whatever reason, they do not permit sign language or the like, and so it is not taught. Probably for religious reasons. something along the lines of "actions speak louder than words, but speaking with actions is forbidden." or something.
#2: People do not learn how to speak, ever. Instead, they teach songs, and these songs convey strong meanings in conjunction with body language. They are very ceremonial and used in special situations. These songs have been recorded, but using your life force gives the songs weight.
In both of these situations, people would learn pictures to convey simple messages. like a picture of a slab of meat might indicate that a building belonged to a butcher. It all depends on how much control you want the Progenitors to have over everyone's life.
EDIT: Oh yea, and interested! But a bit skeptical. Haha!
