@farfalla I do think there are many people out there. A lot of the time the OOC expectations of IC exclusivity read to me like just a way to try to curtail the worry about dealing with another person’s weirdos, or wanting a certain level of knowing that they’ll be the priority if they need a +1, ect. Which I do totally understand. It’s hard to express that I think without worry about seeming controlling. And having those discussion with someone you don’t know can sometimes be kind of difficult. And while some folks are great about being able to work through that without OOC discussion, until you know that about someone–I mean I can understand why people maybe just want to do generalities.
My own current situation is that while my PC would like nothing better than to raise children, ect–he also is, well I guess not quite WORTHLESS as a political match, but ain’t no one going to be breaking down that door either. Add in the OOC issue of what happens to houses when active people marry out and like–I’m not sure Arx in particular (while having an awesome AWESOME IC cultural setup for it!) is very easy to be totally IC about such things just because of those other issues that aren’t anyone’s fault. So there’s that level too, that really has nothing to do with someone’s willingness or not to take on risk and the like! I am grateful that culturally it’s set up so that I can engage in the RP I like regardless, where there might be tension/longing at times but there’s also happiness that can be found outside of the Happily Ever After /married/ pathway.

This is why I almost exclusively ship with friends. The risk is high with strangers.
That’s exactly why I do this. I don’t trust the rest of you(general you). Also, the fact that I don’t do a lot of TS these days in romance(still do it, just not nearly as much as in the past)seems to be a non-starter. Which is fine, just something I’ve noted.
-
I don’t do romantic RP of any kind these days. I was all about it in another era but I’m very happily married these days and I just don’t desire to access that side of my personality for anyone other than my partner.
I would RP the shit out of a completely non-romantic political marriage tho. Like straight up do whatever you want with whoever you want but if it results in any drama that impacts our Household don’t be surprised if your lover ghosts you I mean a literal ghost I’ll have them killed.

@Roz When all you have is an image that says DON’T ARX, everything looks like ARX.
-
@Roz How many lords and ladies games are actually active besides Arx? Not that you’re wrong, but y’know.
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

@Roz now we’re talking about arx though so

I had quite a bit of fun (and dramaz) around political marriage play on Fading Suns games. And one other original theme place that I can’t remember the name of. Also on WoD once too, around generational oaths. So the opportunites have been out there, but the same sort of worries/problems seem to crop up!
-
@mietze I think I would enjoy the hell out of a (GENERIC MUSH) political marriage that started off ambivalent or even antagonistic and slowly morphed over time into respect and friendship or even romance or didn’t morph at all.
-
@mietze I’m just saying I have some great references.

Someone write up an Ace Lord roster I’d be that hubby.

I am pretty sure I am a fail for people who want the long term romance stuff. For these reasons:
- Most people I seem to run into want polyamorous relationships, I don’t really enjoy them. I tend to feel forgotten.
- I get bored with constantly being ‘lovey dovey’ after so many times.
- I can be a little AWOL for periods because I have no creative energy.
- I do prefer more political marriages over ‘forever in love’.
- I just stop trying to interact with people who try to play the jealousy game with me or the ‘cheating game’. I don’t enjoy them and I’ll just ignore attempts to make them happen.
- I ask only once or twice, if a good friend more, for someone to RP with me. I use to ask frequently but I started feeling like I was the only one doing the effort.
- Finally, I am not certain I get ‘emotionally invested’ enough for a lot of people.
Thankfully, I got couple friends who don’t care about any of those with me. They are willing to play monogamous with me, even though the majority of them are polyamorous inclined.
As for those who prefer political matches, I’m always game for that.
ATM, I only have ORchid on Arx and the in progress OC is going to be with one of my friends who doesn’t mind being monogamous with me.
Thundergultch: Arabella is the Madame of the whorehouse so she could, probably, be in some sort of exclusive relationship now since she is the Boss now, not a minion. Kathryn is a political figure who is more of a villain than I planned but I’m game for a political marriage on her. She’s basically considered ‘grandma’ by the settings standards. I have been stuck on my 3rd alt so open to possibilities.
Atharia: NPCs and PCS alike, I’m happy to plot political matches for the ones that can do marrying stuff. The only one of the PCs and NPCs that would not be able too is my Courtesan and my married Queen and King. As a staff, I’m perfectly fine with PCs getting into relations with my NPCs. Just bear in mind that said NPC will not always be available for RP.
-
@icanbeyourmuse ‘Enough emotionally invested’ is a massive red flag for me. I’m doing an RP thing with somebody. I’m not entering an actual, real relationship with them.
-
@L-B-Heuschkel Its not to much for me. A lot of people I know seem to get very invested in their character and it doesn’t surprise me that it extends to their IC relationships. I don’t get as attached or invested in my characters so romantic relationships also aren’t invested for me. I’m not completely detached but a good portion of the time I am not gonna be bothered to lose a character. I might briefly get angry if I wasn’t ‘ready’ for their story to be done but that is over quickly with nostalgic discussions about said character and not finishing their stories.
