Memorable Things of Discord

The day @Kidd called me Senpai...

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

Ninety percent of the time if a character is described as "snarky," the writer probably doesn't know what that means (same goes for self described "snarkers" out there).

@Surtr

Urban Dictionary:

A word that should be googled to find the definition as per direction from Dane Cook. It means short tempered or irritable.
"He was being very snarky with me. Yeah, snarky. Its a word, google it." -Dane Cook

Star Wars - Liberation

Banned @Midnight Rider from the thread. If anyone is going to accept character sheets it will be @Sep and Sep alone since he is the GM.

If you do wish to seriously join the roleplay I would suggest PMing him personally from now on.

Is this decent for a roleplay?

Having a read and it feels very instructional, ie: he did this, then he did that. Your grammar also has a few errors too, so I think a combination of those could be holding it back.

You can also flesh out parts a lot better to give greater impact to the scene.

For instance, the first sentence is missing some commas and feels like you glossed over the most important part, the actual stabbing. Reading on and I can see terms like "has and had", "were and then" mixed up, and even brings quickly should actually be quickly brings instead. (also, never 2... Write two)

I feel if you fix up those kind of errors it'll help improve the scene for the most part without rewriting a stack of lines. What I would suggest as well is maybe a little novel reading on the side. Pick up a book like Harry Potter in English and read through it. It will help both with your word structure and understanding on how to write a scene that flows naturally.

on firefox idk what it's doing tbh, it just doesn't let you check the "remember me" box at all. i reinstalled brave so i think i'm gonna use that more often, but my phone is a samsung galaxy j3 (2016 model). i can't remember if it ever let me check the box at one point, but since i primarily use my desktop and only use my phone for late-night browsing it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

@Grimhildr

Oh yeah. I noticed that straight away. Only way I can see if the check box was selected is to do a text highlight and drag it over the box itself. Maybe a better option for that or even prompt will help with that.

i use mozilla on mobile, and that doesn't allow me to stay logged in, if that helps towards any eventual cookie-fixing. i think i used the brave browser in the past, which allowed me to, but other than that it's always been a mobile-based issue.

@Grimhildr

I swapped over to Firefox cause Dolphin had a terrible update that caused crashing, and I haven't had any cookie issues (yet, only been using it for a week). If you don't mind me asking, what phone do you have cause I have an S7 and even the base unit choice can cause issues.

Brave is good, but I personally didn't like it's style. It felt a bit too basic for my liking.

I dunno if there's other ways to save your log in, maybe through IPs, but that may present questions with security to which I'm not sure about. I know there's a lot more information transferred these days compared to years ago, so I'm sure there's something.

On the Limitations of Creativity

Freedom means that the easy choice is always available, and by limiting these choices you are creating a challenge for people. People work naturally with a challenge and will try to find ways around it, both creative and lazy ways.

I don't wanna say too much more cause I feel others will be able to explain better than me, but creativity is a direct result of having a limitation and it brings about the skill of problem solving.

that's why, then. it's a glitch on mobile; whenever i browse on my mobile i have to keep logging in, too. mahz pls fix

@Grimhildr

@Caster

I believe it's a cookies issue so it could be how your browser saves cookies too. I had that issue with Dolphin browser on my tablet and I have to re log into all my sites on every session. My mobile never had that issue. Mahz may be able to improve the cookies save session, but that may also come down to the app developers.

What Roleplay section do you mostly post in?

Title is self-explanatory, but I want to expand this question a little further.

Right now, I'm trying to procrastinate on editing an essay and how the Guild socializes has always been particularly interesting to me anyway. So, denizens of the Guild, which section(s) would you say that you are most likely to Roleplay within and why? Do you feel that you are "welcomed" as a "member" within this section and/or sections? Would you feel comfortable writing in the other sections? Why or why not?

@Cyndyr

Casual and Advanced.
Casual is where I started and it has always been a section that allows you to join without too much difficulty, and with little requirement. Advanced on the otherhand is slower and longer in post length, which I like, but tends to have a lower success rate in commitment. Most advanced RPs I joined die die to inactivity; most casuals seem to die from lack of direction or inexperience. May not be in all cases but that's the trend I experienced.

In those sections I feel welcomed and haven't had too many problems. Few RPs I felt like I was ignored and a few members burned me by removing work I added to collabs or pushing me out of the RP by not acknowledging my character, but on the whole I'm happy.

Tabletop, free, arena, and NRP are sections I don't join. Tabletop doesn't really interest me, free is too basic and feels unrewarding, arena feels like it's too set on the fight while I'm more interested in writing the character experienced, and NRPs just have a different writing style where I feel I don't get the right character interaction. There's nothing against these sections but they're not for me.
