      @SpaceKhomeini I don’t believe social RP even exists. There is only interview RP: where one person talks about themself, only answering questions exactly as asked but never asking a question or responding to attempts the other person makes to talk about themself, until all that’s left is for the interviewer to run out of questions to ask and go do something else.

        These scenes are so frustrating. I’m asking you to tell me about your character! Give me something! A hobby, a pet peeve, SOMETHING I can riff off of.

        Anything.

        Please.

          @SpaceKhomeini What kind of RP do you want to do?

            Reminder to myself that after 15+ years in this hobby, I still dislike CGen.

            After one of my long breaks from the hobby, any time I tried to app on a game… I would get terrible anxiety over starting chargen. Still do, tbh. I’m only comfortable doing chargen for FS3 based games these days.

              I don’t mind the CGen process so much, weirdly, but I hate having to learn a whole new feckin’ series of commands. Because nobody standardises this shit. Every CG is a new nightmare of spaghetti strung together over washing lines.

              Ares/FS3’s commands are simple and I get to do it on a form instead of figuring out how Faraday’s brain works, so it’s A++.

                My peeve today:

                There’s nothing like trying out a new character and getting completely subsumed into the story of a new place to make you really, highly aware of how burned out you are at your old stomping ground. The disparity in activation energy is astounding.

                Not to tmi but I have pneumonia, the doctor says I need to spend the next 3 days in bed, and I still wanna RP my idiot werewolf, but I can barely even manage to get up the gumption to log in and read mail on a place that has been my primary game since September 2016.

                I’m tired and I’m sorry.

                let it be a challenge to you

                      The adjacent problem of knowing its not personal and not really caring because it’s still frustrating and boring, and having to deal with the expectation that knowing its not personal should make it somehow non-frustrating and fun.

                        This may make me seem like a heartless Bitch, but boy it would be nice if people would stop telling me they are going to go cry because of MUSH drama.

                        It evokes more of a desire to back away from the person telling me than sympathy. And I try to be kind to people OOCly.

                        But for fucks sake…

                          @Cobalt I might be a cruel little fucker, but at that point I’d say “Well, I think you need to take time away to recentre yourself and reflect on how you’re feeling and why.” Which is just code for fuck all the way off, and when you get there fuck off some more.

                            @Cobalt it’s only crying over mush drama if it’s from the champagne region of France, otherwise it’s sparkling emotional manipulation.

                              I understand. I will never not be triggered by the way poison dart frogs are portrayed in pop culture.

                                Reminds me of the time someone accused me of causing their husband to threaten divorce (because the player spent too much time MU*ing, I think?) because I had to quit a scene before we started due to rl on my side.

                                I was like, well, that’s an unfortunate situation but that is not on me.

                                  You too? Wonder if it was the same person. Got accused a couple of times of ruining their marriage because they were mushing too much. Was like, well, go offline and fix your marriage, then. They never did.

                                    @L-B-Heuschkel I’m not surprised I’m not the only one they said this to if it is the same person.

                                    This took place some time between 2006-2008 so, honestly, all I can say is I hoped they worked on their marriage or they both found spouses they were more compatible with.

                                      @oknow We can but hope. It’s probably not the same person, though – this was 2021-22 for me.

                                        When you know it’s time to retire a character, but you can’t make yourself let go.

                                        Finally giving up a beloved character and knowing it was the right choice doesn’t make you less sad about it.

                                        as previously stated, good day.

                                          @Cobalt I have told some that it’s okay to go have a good cry. Get it all out. They’ll feel better. And if they aren’t feeling better afterwards, perhaps they should reconsider playing on that particular text-based game.

                                            I just want to write fun stories with people. My mu peeve for the month is me…
                                            I don’t like the timing, stupid awkward to get an ic position then be dragged off by rl. :C The brain weasles are having a field day thinking staff and players are annoyed/inconvenienced.

                                            It bothers me that I may have forgot to do necessary steps for plots and/or actions or if I’d promised things to people and I’m keeping them waiting.

                                            I know I have a few descriptions I owe a few people… but damned if the memory muncher hasn’t eaten the names and descriptions…

                                            Me… get with the program…
