Make sure they know which spot you're gunning for too!

@Roosan

Thanks, but I don't want to impose and I've got my new job that'll start eating time away. But I find the concept refreshingly original and I don't dislike anyone in the crew there.

But if you haven't got a place for me or a foul taste in your mouth - it's cool, I'll bow out.

@Write

Miso's in a castle right now, but I can answer for you.

All roles are technically opened except for the GM reserved ones. Just fill out a sheet for a Carrington in the next two days and you'll be considered.

If you're looking to play an SO or Family Member, then just ask around. Maybe wait until Tuesday or Wednesday, though, when the cast list is finalized. ^^

Make sure to PM your sheet to Undine AND Haggis to save some hassle and inbox space. ;p

I just noticed that I quoted the wrong post.

@Roosan My character isn't much of a disappointment I'd say. I think he falls closer into the in between area, seeing as how he isn't exactly their shining star either, but then again I'm doubting too many of the children are.

Edit: Granted he's only seventeen, so he hasn't had much time to disappoint :P

@smarty0114

REITERATING ON THIS BECAUSE I JUST NOW SAW IT STALKING THROUGH THE OOC POSTS.

My boy's halfway there. I mean... how to word it...

Mom and Pops Carrington were more of a disappointment to him, than the other way around. *Scratches head* If that makes any sense, at all.

_{i just watching Finding Dory today and every time I see you, @Roosan, I keep muttering "Ooroo. Ooroo ooroo!" (it makes absolutely no sense unless you've seen the movie)}

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

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

Man, roleplayers who try to incorporate a different genre without GM consent. Example: Bringing in cyberpunk into Middle Earth.

Farfetch character sheets, too. If you decline, they argue. //sighs

@Pair of Hearts

Double post, WOOPs.

People who don't take criticism well fucking kill me. If you're applying to my role play and I state in the OP of the thread, "Advanced/High Casual Standards," and you can't take the feedback I give you on your CS, then you obviously don't belong there. If you have an inherent problem when it comes to critique in that you can't differentiate that from being scolded, then I have no idea why you're writing or have such a subjective hobby. Art obviously isn't for you if you can't understand why someone's critiquing you and every critique is taken as a personal affront to your work.

That's not to say don't question your GM. But do so in a kind and respectful manner. Ask why they want you to change it and ask what they're looking for, if they haven't already spelled it out clearly. It's good to keep the power balanced, but it's never good to directly challenge your GM unless they're doing something insanely dumb.

(If there's anyone out there that I have thoroughly enjoyed working with to craft and change and fix a character to fit into an RP I've run, it's probably @Lady Amalthea; your level of professionalism is absolutely amazing, to be honest, even in the face of nitpicking GMs. Looking back on those exchanges we had, I can clearly tell we were picking your character a part way too much and the things we pointed out were minuscule and nitpicky. Entirely unnecessary, in hindsight. So, here's my formal apology for being a pain in the goddamn ass and a thank you for having the respect not to grill us for it.)

@Rawk

I like @Ey Iran's post as he has some valid points regarding image usage, but I'd say the most abused for the "lazy writer" are images to convey your PC's or NPC's appearance, or story location(s). Imagery should enhance an already well written description, not replace it, and I find too often a picture on a player's CS under the "Character Description" section with no text to support it as though the author is saying "No need to use your imagination here, folks!".

Just my two pence...

@Rawk

I've grown to dislike that, "The Image I use is sufficient," mentality, mainly because I always have a written description added onto an image. Especially concerning still images, one can't necessarily convey proper poise, posture, normal attire, voice, or anything of that nature that requires a finer pen to describe. Even then, I'm picky with my images in that I rather have high quality images that not only fit what I have in mind but also fit the entire theme of the character. It's why, when I use real life people, I use rather well-known individuals. Gives me better, higher quality photos to use as a running theme while giving me ample space to write out the much finer details that you can't see or garner from just a photo.

Also, stock photos are the bane of my existence. I'm an HQ elitist *cough*

Regardless, because of that, I never allow any of the players in RPs I GM to just give me a photo. I need something more than just one image to get the feel of the character beyond just their surface looks. Cause, while looks and appearance are on the surface, there are so many intricacies that one can write out aside from hair color, height, weight, etc. Honestly, that's why I use images in the first place, so I can skip the dull parts of the appearance, so it doesn't feel like I'm just listing things. That's the purple, flowery poet in me, though (I've been working on stopping unnecessary filler description in my writing don't sue me).

Most definitely! Sometimes you have something very specific in mind and don't have anyone else to play them and that's fine! It's also fine to recruit someone or ask for them to play an accompanying family member. It's all up to you!

Oncw i start getting a more solid character roster I'll start actively working on people who want to play/need accompanying people.

Also friendly reminder to not call them plus ones!

I also think it's been said that you're allowed to play your own SO or Family Membersz @Undine Confirm??? :o

<Snipped quote by flightless-angel-castiel>

You play your own plus one?? (There was someone asking around for people needing a plus one character for they wanted to be a plus one, that's why I'm asking.)

@KahleenCuthald

My plus one.
