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

@January They, ultimately, make me go for the less 'correct' option out of spite. Hahah

@Rilla

Don't call it "spite." Call it sweet, sweet vengeance and run a hand casually through your hair.

On topic, I hate people who play characters with eidetic memories and then forget to have their characters remember everything about some markedly important picture or page in a book. Likewise, I hate people playing characters who are "geniuses" in their respective fields, but then don't do sufficient research to sell the whole "I'm a genius in astrophysics/biomechanical engineering/etc." image.

I'm certainly not saying they need to become actual geniuses in those fields, but when a "genius astrophysicist" can't explain classical physics in-character (even if it's BS), the illusion kind of breaks down for everyone.

This has probably been brought up before, but tfw you know that someone doesn't want to do your RP anymore, but refuses to say anything, and just ignores the thread/messages sent to them.

Rude af.

@Mr Allen J

Is it time for ultimatums in that case?

@Billsomething

Huh. That's an interesting dilemma: you like the RP but find the CS too complicated.

Unfortunately, I err on the side of the GMs in your situation. They put forth the effort to create a world for others to play in (or, at least, took the time to plot something interesting in a preexisting universe), so they can demand a lot within reason.

In this case, I don't think that CS's demands are unreasonable, especially if the GM already explained the sections to you. (Maybe it's actually far worse than what you've presented, who knows?) You'd probably have to hash it out even further with your GM in the OOC or PMs if you still really want to join the RP but find the CS too difficult or confusing to complete.

In a more general instance, if there was an CS format that confused me, I would just do my best to fill out the CS as completely as possible and have the GM vet it--I've never come across a CS format I've found unreasonably demanding, yet, so I can't speak much for the situation other than offering general advice on it. I suppose you'd have to judge for yourself if you'll have enough fun in the RP to justify working through a CS format you dislike, but think of it another way: once you pass this hurdle, you can enjoy yourself, so if you really love that RP, then hang in there.

Habits/Tropes You Utilize

There aren't enough public examples specifically on RPG that would let me prove how habitually I use tropes, but as far as personal writing and other websites go, my top five abused tropes are the following (the lower the number, the higher the prevalence):

• 1. Deadpan Snarker
• 2. Insufferable Genius
• 3. Break the Haughty (If I use 2, 3 always shows up.)
• 4. Dark And Troubled Past
• 5. Vitriolic Best Buds
