If anyone is interested in a Silent Hill roleplay, check out the interest check! I'm hoping we can capture a fun survival horror feel!

Are we *technically* alive though? I mean really, shouldn't you say unlives?

Bio

Former Enlisted Army, and very avid gamer. I have fallen hook line and sinker for Dungeons and Dragons, which has actually taken over as my preferred method to roleplay--as both a DM and a player.

However, my roleplay adventures started with writing, and I always will be interested in creative writing. I left for a brief 5 year stint (Hey, that's brief to an elf or dragon, yeah?) but am back and ready to dive into something (though what, I am unsure).

Happily married to my wonderful wife @PrimalArcana, whom I met at this forum (thanks @Mahz) and I can't be happier :D Love to RP pretty much anything. However, my time is much more limited than it used to be. My PMs are open if you want to roleplay, I'm known to do both 1 on 1 RPs and open forum RPs.

I may not be active anymore, but this still applies: All Green, all Army, HOOAH!

I are a mutie. I rawr and I howl.

WOOF!
Time for a brand new face reveal! This is me, taken just a handful of weeks ago when I went home on leave. The furrball is my furr-sister Tori xD

@LetsFly I hit spam pretty hard, but in phases. So I'd be really super active in Spam for a week or two, then just focus on my RPs, then hit Spam again, etc. I MOSTLY stuck to RPing. I joined sometime in September 12 or 13? I can't remember exactly for sure. I know it was early september because I was just about to have a birthday, I just don't remember WHICH one. I know it was 12 or 13 though. Probably 12, since I joined THIS place in 2014--literally the day after it was created. Might have even been the same day.

@Jannah Yep, you was here LONG before the guildfall! Glad to have you back in an RP!
@Dinh AaronMk But why is there a time to give up? It often is really just a matter of waiting for the right people to see the RP. Hell, go into the chat and see if there's anyone there that would be interested, or the Facebook page. If you really want to RP an idea, I don't see why you should give up eventually. Re-evaluate, certainly, but just decide you won't try? No, I flat disagree with this one.

I understand people want some semblance of power by being the big boy on the internet but it's truthfully not worth it when so many do and there's so many other RPs that might be doing that field much better.


Just because there are RPs in a field doing better than yours, doesn't mean you shouldn't try for a good successful RP. At some point, there just isn't an RP you REALLY want to join, or you feel passionate about. In these cases, it's time to step up and make one. I don't think one should let the fact that there are already highly successful threads stop people from trying to form their own. I DO agree that one should look at what makes the successful ones take off, but it shouldn't deter people from attempting.
@Phoenix I've waited months for an RP to catch interest, at least on the Old Guild. I haven't in this one simply because I had a small group of friends that I knew would love to RP with me. That said, I also had a LOT of RPs peter out and die due to lack of interest after it starts. Couple people drop, then bam, everyone else starts to follow. It's like a freaking plague, a cancer. Once it take hold it is hard to fight.

I think if you have a great idea that just doesn't take off, keep trying. There was one RP I tried to get going 3 times before it finally garnered enough interest to get off the ground. It was going good for a bit too, but eventually died. Still, it made it a ways past the very start, and that's farther than a lot of RPs go these days. Just keep trying, maybe modify your ideas if you think there is something turning people away--unless you are adamant about that particular thing. In which case, just keep trying. Eventually it will take off, if you wait long enough.

Also consider what section you are posting in. Obviously an advanced level RP will be a harder sell than casual, simply because a lot more people play casual vs advanced.
@LetsFly You were here before the Guildfall? Huh, I don't recognize the name! D:
