Current Remember, nobody actually enjoys roleplaying if there isn't at least five shameful fetishes uncovered by the 2nd page.

Somebody stole my mood ring. I don't know how to feel about it.

Let's be honest, it's far more satisfying and challenging to actually imagine what a character looks like than paste a hundred gifs of a celebrity and call it good.

So, a team of players who are good at playing as a team in a team-based game are individually bad players. Seems kind of silly when you put it like that, no?

My goal these days is to have an RP that can actually finish, or the very least, last a few years. I see way too many die on page one to take chances

Best solution to the player introduction conundrum I've experienced was seriously a simple and surprisingly effective solution, which is all of the characters knew each other already and players could mention something that happened in their history (in-game references) that other player characters could fill in the blanks. For instance,

"Oh, Tom knows all about dangerous caves. He ran into a tiger's den when we were on an exhibition three years ago."

"Hey, you were the one urging us to get out of the rain!"

"Don't forget about the tribe of cannibals that were on our trail, either."

It doesn't have to be predetermined, it can just be spontaneous. You can be surprised by how easy it is to just go with the flow and get into the juicy stuff. Some of my favorite RP moments happened because of situations like that.
I'm staying out of this, but from the bits and pieces I've gathered, the fact that people are threatening this woman with rape and death threats (along with a few other notable individuals like that Feminist Frequency lady) highlights a way bigger issue than what people are up in arms about. It's disgusting.

I don't care what these people did or didn't do, and yes people should be demanding changes in game journalism, but the fact that there's nobody speaking out against the fact that a huge chunk of the gaming population thinks it's acceptable to say that shit is wrong, just wrong.

To me, the fact that there's people who are posting people's personal information, nude photos, forcing some of them to leave their homes, and basically reacting to women who earn their ire in such a way is a way bigger problem that needs to be addressed. Basic human rights and privacy
shouldn't take a backseat to anything, ever.

Now I'm sure someone here is going to half heartedly bleat about how most people aren't like that and then journalism angle is super important and blah
blah blah, but I really don't care. There's a startling lack of humanity being shown by a lot of people who aren't being held accountable for both the venom coming out of their mouths and their actions. Whatever Zoe Quinn did didn't deserve this. It isn't justice and accountability when you take it beyond scrutinizing what she did as an industry figure and tear into her personal
information and threaten her private life and physical well being.

I really don't care how you try to justify it, it's fucking wrong and disgusting, period.
Nope! Everything looks a-okay. Although, in the cases of players dropping, run by writing out the character ideas by me first next time. :P

So, how go the posts people?
Serenity.
District 9.
Rise of The Planet of The Apes.
Skyfall 007.
Inception.
Taken.
Law Abiding Citizen.
Game of Thrones (Season 1).
War Horse.
The Dark Knight.

My pick from that list. You really can't go wrong with any of them!
Nothing edible has yet to have not been roasted over a fire spit by me yet. I think I will be okay that way, plus I know where to find clean water and shelter for the most part.

If anything kills me, it'll probably be the arena pulling some bullshit maneuver that catches me by surprise or the fact I probably can't outrun the axe murderer chasing me down.

Mainly, I've just pooped on their porch and ran the minute they opened the door.
