Reeling a bit from a mispage earlier in the day that kinda took the wind out of my sails.
On the one hand, I guess I know who to avoid in the future. But it’s coming at a really bad place of timing.
It really sucks to feel like you’re okayish enough to pass the time with RP wise if there’s nothing better to do, but you’re not of the caliber where it would be worth engaging in deeper RP with you since you’re just a lightweight bore and there’s nothing substantial there.
I do often feel (as do like 98 percent of the people I know) like i’m the always the unwanted/last person to be picked for the kickball team. I don’t /think/ it’s the reality (and hey if we were all the super popular kickball captains growing up maybe we wouldn’t have gotten into mushing or whatever so it’s just kind of a primal worry for a lot of people. But i’m feeling it super hard tonight.
I’ll work through it (or disappear) but damn. I’ve done my share of mispages but it’s been awhile since I got one and i have to say it kinda really did hurt this time. Even if if it’s from someone that I really don’t even care about!
You and I have a bit in common (the bolded bit). I’ve kind of lost my will to RP (in all of 2022 I don’t run out of fingers on one hand for number of scenes), but even when I had more energy for it I always felt more on the side of things, even though I can point to occasions where that’s not true.

Someone that I actively didn’t enjoy told me my RP with them that day was boring.
It sucked. It sucks no matter who says it.
You’re fun and I’ve enjoyed my time with you.

@tsar Most people I don’t like RPing with probably think I’m boring. If I’m not having a good time, no one is gdi, I’ll take this whole scene out with me.

lmao
YOU WILL TURN THIS CAR AROUND

@tsar first clearly you are not boring.
Second, it’s up to everyone in the scene to make it fun. Things are boring? LIGHT THE COFFEE SHOP ON FIRE (not your PC, you can blame the barista who just broke up with her boyfriend and has had it up to here with the manager insisting the croissants be evenly spaced in the display case when they clearly already are).
I think I am the chaotic opposite of KB in this regard where if things are boring I will go way in the opposite direction for my own amusement. Unless I find myself having to drag people along after multiple attempts, then I will probably bounce.
But my point is, you don’t blame your scene partner, the fault is not with them.
Unless it’s @KarmaBum then maybe.
-
@YetiBeard idk @KarmaBum lights shit on fire ALL THE TIME.
-
@YetiBeard For sure, everyone is responsible for being fun. But that means an equal share of the load.
I don’t waste good ideas on boring people. If I am gonna burn down the coffee shop, I’mma invite my friends to watch it burn.
But yes things do tend to be on fire a lot around my characters. Or sometimes exploding.
@tsar & @Snackness have often been part of these shenanigans and often to blame in fact. Pretty sure you and I have RPed some fireballs or explosions or both.
Ergo not boring in my book.

@YetiBeard and @KarmaBum are both arsonsists

C’mon Pookie!

@mietze fuck that fuck I think you’re great
(are we allowed to say “fuck 'em” on this board? I’m sorry, I’m new, I don’t know the rules. I assume so or I owe like $8…7, yeah, $87 to the jar.)
I wish you would.
-
@KarmaBum nothing says ‘I love you’ like only blowing shit up around people you care about.
-
@Pax yes, FUCK ‘EM.
-
@mietze You are one of my favorite people to RP with ever! Never boring, always a joy to scene with

This surprises me. You seem really popular as an RPer in general, and the like two interactions we’ve had made me go oh I would love to rp with them more. I’m sorry it happened, you are fantastic!

In the light of the discussion about abusers in other threads at the moment –
Consider that that mispage was a power move by somebody trying to manipulate. If it was meant to go to you in spite of the mispage claim, it’s negging – putting you back in your place of feeling like second choice. If it was meant to go to someone else, it might be intended to make them feel like they’re special and better than the rest, a.k.a. love bombing.

@L-B-Heuschkel Sometimes a person just does a dumb thing too and it’s not a more elaborate attempt to manipulate anyone. I’m not sure it does Mietze any good to start considering it like it is?
-
I generally go for cock-up over conspiracy, myself.
-
@tsar Sometimes it’s a cock-up and sometimes it isn’t. I’d suggest looking at this other person and their general behaviour. If they’re usually solid, it’s probably a cock-up.

@L-B-Heuschkel i hear you and have def seen accidentally on purpose mavs or mispages before but honestly I don’t think that is what happened this time. I have definitely had worse slip ups in my mushing years, but just it hit a little harder due to unrelated stuff that was just not anything anyone could help.
But yeah a pattern of that stuff is something thats a red flag that I’m sure a lot of us have experienced! And thanks to all. I’m feeling a lot better this AM.
-
@L-B-Heuschkel Honestly, if they’re saying this sort of thing anyway, then I wouldn’t bother looking into their behaviour and just write them off. There are only so many hours in the day.
