My Very Brief Bio

Male, 33 years old. (I'm even more dead than before.)

Likes (other than writing and roleplaying): I'm into all genres of music. I love to cook. I love the outdoors, and walking through the park near my house. (Yes, really.) I read a lot of thriller/mystery novels. And I usually watch seasonal anime. (Or cooking shows. Because Western Media provides even fewer things that are worth watching.)

But as for my many other neglected hobbies, I've played basically every sport. (Soccer and Bowling being my favorite of the bunch.) And I'm trying to play more video games. (Going through my never-ending Steam library.) Plus, I've dabbled in making electronic & metal music, and I used to play a number of instruments. (Guitar, French Horn, etc.)

My 1X1 Interest Check: SleepingSilence's Tavern (Want 1x1 RP's? Please come in.)


Hope you have a wonderful day!

That honestly kind of sounds like an excuse to dropping RP's. You shouldn't drop out of group rp's because one person bugs you. It's beyond petty. Especially if it's long going. And if you drop a 1x1, because that person bugs you. Maybe you lack judgement and shouldn't have started or joined it in the first place? We can play the game of, you should blame yourself. But that just goes right back to "what if it isn't their fault?"

I know I made the same mistake back in school, when people treated me like shit and spread a rumor about me. I always thought, "what did I do?" and I had counselors tell me "oh, you must of done something to them!" Only to believe that shit, because I was a gullible kid. And last day had some of my bullies come up to me and straight up admit, they we're treating me like shit for no reason whatsoever...

Maybe the answer isn't that it takes two, or that the person is blameless. Maybe it's because a whole lot of people are generally self-centered and lazy assholes. Now, if those people keep having people drop RP's, while also happening to tell them. "You're too demanding" "You take things too seriously" "You don't write well enough." or something to that effect over and over again. Maybe there's some needed self reflection that the person needs to do. So I get the intended point, or what it should be anyway. But people dropping without word, there's usually not a super complex reason. The person is irresponsible with time management. Simple as that. I mean it seems like people don't have actual filters nowadays. So you'd figure if it wasn't the dropping person's fault. They'd be able to explain themselves. :D I've literally never dropped a roleplay without stating an explanation and it was never because of a single person that clashed with me. Because I'm not that childish. *Shrugs*

Occam's razor applies to most situations. A principle that states that among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected. So let's go with someone dense who started a 1x1 with someone and that person hasn't replied in a while and hasn't answered them back when asking what's up? What option makes the most sense with the fewest, 'but why's'?

>A. Person is busy with super serious real life stuff.
>B. Person is super angry at something you did. So they don't wuv you no more. (misspelled on purpose mind you.)
>C. Person is lazy and doesn't take your time seriously.

Route A:
Person is busy with life. Okay, why not say that? I'd understand. All people have a life. Some brag/make excuses about it more than others. But everyone has a life outside the internet. So why nothing said?

Route B:
Person is mad and doesn't wuv you. Okay, why? What did I do? What did I say? I probably would be smart enough to remember a fight...so I shouldn't be confused.

Route C:
Yeah, makes sense. It's often a fickle hobby. On to the next one.

That's all there really is to it...

TL:DR Yeah, I learned a long ass time ago. People don't need reasons to do what they do...negative or positive. Most people don't think before they do what they do. So, I'm going to go with some people are poor with time management.
@Heat Oops. Just realized I forget to use mentions. Been a while. xP

@Altered Tundra 7/10 I can always enjoy another female fronted rock band.

Wasn't sure what to put here, I chose one that wasn't really as interesting as other ideas. But I didn't want a low rating because of the genre again. *crossed fingers* Hope you like electronica. :P

@Demon Shinobi My character is basically completed. Just wanted to know if it looks good? I edited my comment, so you might of missed my question too. But where is this taking place? Location wise. Is it going the tamer route, where most of it is in the real world? Or is everyone just getting sucked into the digital world? I ask because two people have Japanese names and I made mine American. So, if it's digital world. It doesn't matter. If it's Japan or Somewhere, USA. I was considering doing a name/history change.
Banned because everybody dies.
Because everyone can use a good laugh and share experiences you've had in roleplaying. To put it simply, share those moments that probably don't look great to the ones that posted, after a bit of hindsight. But will always be funny and something you laugh about. Now keep it to IC stuff. I could go on for eternity about the private or OOC stuff. But that's not as fun or memorable. With that brief/obvious explanation out of the way.

I'll start in sharing two quick particular experiences. Both with my roommate and his cousin, bless their souls, but they had a plethora of fail moments. So here's two of them with some simple context.

First, the roleplay was just the three of us. Each of us controlled three demi-gods that were shaping a new world. Backstory isn't important. The purpose was a battle/action roleplay where we would fight one another. Both of them we're itching to fight as soon as possible. So very early on, I described one of my gods wandering in a completely barren and dry desert oasis in scorching heat of daylight to scope out the area. My roommate really wanted to fight me, his three gods had the general powers of Light, Earth and Water. Do I even need to tell you which one sent given the topic at hand?

He sent his water god and challenged me to a fight to the death. Apparently, he missed the whole 'completely dry and barren' part (and the desert part). Which his exasperated screams over the phone, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT A WATERY OASIS?" made it all the more hilarious. It was a miracle that that demi-god made it out alive. A moment I'll never let go. Wasn't even the last lopsided battle in that RP. (Pro-Tip, don't write you expose your only obvious weak point to launch a powerful attack, if your opponent is in easily range of it. Also, don't join a battle RP and expect no death.)

So the second one is also quite early into the story and happens to be his cousin's fault this time, we had a six person party. A simple D&D style quest adventure, everyone had just entered the small town that was about to get attacked by a group of bandits. So the group gathered in the middle of the town where they started causing trouble. So, the cousin's character who was a warlock decided to start the battle by threatening and instilling fear into them. He changed his ordinary human appearance, into something more demonic looking. One bandit cried out that he was a monster. He loudly called back in a unnatural voice. "I'm not a monster, I'm a devil!" He proceeded to laugh manically. Ah, teenagers and their writing. Good times...

The problem with this, is one of the other character's entire backstory is based on demons slaughtering his people. He also was a barbarian and mercenary paid to kill demons, and a stranger whom he hasn't met yet started calling out in the middle of the town. "Mwhahaha, I'm a devil." casting fire spells. So, it lead with a bastard sword impaling that character. His cousin was not pleased with this action. But basically everyone else laughed their asses off. Maybe not the best way to introduce yourself. Edge writing, on top of being embarrassing to read often leads to embarrassing results. Sometimes, a quick and instant death...

There you have it. Well, I found them funny. I'll post a few more, if anyone else cares to keep the stories coming. Have something better? Do tell. ;3
