B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

Argh.....

So who was the jackass that gave me "swine" flu.

Seriously!

@Mahz um hey im just a little confused. I said one thing into the chat and suddenly i couldnt see anything that is said or any members what so ever. I didn't spam or say anything rude. I just asked a question. I dont know if its a server error or something else

@blazeflame13

You're not on the ban list. Probably a forum drop out.

@Rekaigan and I are writing up a collab starter, but we'll have to finish it tomorrow since it's late and I'm still sick (aka: exhausted and need sleep). Since there's no real rush on the post, we're making sure this'll be a nice one indeed.

This looks awesome. Just wondering, did the Vietnam War happen in the timeline of this version of our world? I was thinking of playing a Bomber who is a Vietnam Vet.

@Zebanamana

Vietnam war ended in '75, rp is set in '87. Unfortunately the Maxage for a character is 23 so that won't work out unless baby soldiers we're a thing.

So, no Block User feature? Or Ignore User?

@Rirrii

Block user in the sense of "user can no longer send PMs or leave VMs to me" - yes.
Hiding all posts by said user - preferably not, that leads to some threads being horrible mangled messes (just imagine you two accidentally joining the same RP...). If someone is being disruptive on public forums, mods.

On another note - did this new forum ever have e-mail notifications? It appears some people in a RP I'm in appear to be missing those, which occasionally leads to some goose-hunts.

@Shienvien

I'm pretty sure everything is answered in Shienvien's post. Blocking and ignoring users on a "collaborative writing" site seems to be something that would start a whole world of problems.

With only 9 posts in 5 days, why would you need to block someone this early on anyways. If you have a problem with a troublesome member, let the mods know. I'm sure they can help. :)

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

Not all guys are like that. Hopefully someone you meet will see you for who you are and view your writing as a part of you, not a part that needs to be sold off.

Anyways, need to head off for work. Take care you two. @Cynder

Will start to work on a reply later today.

@NuttsnBolts
For me, I feel pressured because usually 3 posts in, I just don't feel the zing for the roleplay but can't Spit It Out. Other times it's because they rushed me.
...
UPDATE: Forgot to mention I started in RPG by posting everyday, and then my parents started asking to hangout more about two weeks ago. I think I spoiled some of them into thinking I sit there all day just roleplaying when I'm really chilling here in between conversations and chores.

@Pair of Hearts

Tokyo Ghoul RP... never felt so neglected when the IC went up and there were so many posts that I felt as if I was pushed out of the RP by force for not keeping up... and I can post daily too!

As for living on the internet.... yeah.......... >.>
We won't discuss the USB port that's attatched to the side of my head. ;D

Yeah, this is part of the problem. I've dropped about four or so since we last spoke. It's also because of the fact that I'm just tired and lethargic lately. I'm also still in high school and it's the last month of the year. Not exactly the easiest time, you know how that goes.

@Cynder

Sounds like you're experiencing a burnout. Same thing happened to me a while ago with my signature images. (One below doesn't count as its just a crop) but at one stage I was doing requests, entering in Signature of the Week competitions, making my own things, experimenting with large photomanipulation images... and I got my first mod position on a gfx site. In the end I stopped using Photoshop for about 3 years I think and its only been in the last 18 months that I made several different signature images.

Don't let yourself reach this stage. The moment you change your hobby into an invested interest that you want more out of, is the moment you start to loose sight of why you began writing in the first place. Was it to explore character personas? Journey to new worlds? Take on history with a new meaning? Or design monsters and beasts to battle?

Admiditly you do have the last bit of school and that usually is a handful, but once you finish see if you can ground your views again and go back into writing. Write because you enjoy it, not because you have to. :)

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

@Cynder I know you have several RPs you were in when I talked to you last, but maybe limit those down to only a small handful.

I for example, have a 1x1 with a partner that is super relaxed, meaning that we post when we feel like it. Posts can vary from day to day, to week to week. It means we only post when we have time and a reply is more like a present than a chore.

At the most I will only enter 3. I have a stagnant mechanical one that might kick off again, the 1x1, and one I just entered that I'm trying out for interest sake. I find any more than that and roleplaying for me becomes a second job.
