NOTE: I AM a roleplayer! these are just some of the things I can't stand about some of the others that share this interest, so think about that before you flame me.
1. Roleplayers who roleplay as a major gaming,movie,etc figure. Seriously, If I had a dime for every roleplayer who mimics Freddy fazbear, I could retire at 40.
2. Roleplayers who take the vampire/emo aspect WAY to far in their characters. Theres nothing wrong with a little bit of darkness in a backstory, but when it gets to the point of: "Jack/17/Causes self pain/Doomed for eternity/Vampire/Alone/single" It gets annoying to me.
3. People who judge a RP game based off the people who play it.
4. Anime roleplayers.
5. Roleplayers that place their characters in the story of major figures. Ex: "Yeah, Satan, hes my brother" and other dumb newb roleplayer stuff like that.
6. Roleplayers that refuse to take ANY advice and improve.
7. Roleplayers that belive they can kill your character whenever they feel like it (Only a problem if it hasn't been agreed upon).
8. Roleplayers that play a generic role in an uninteresting way. Ex. 13-25 Year old vampire or werewolf (God I hate those people).
9. Roleplayers who cry OOC When something bad happens to their character.
10. People who "Play to win". |

| True, but the majority of people here don't partake in any of those ten. |

"Roleplayers that belive they can kill your character whenever they feel like it (Only a problem if it hasn't been agreed upon)." THE most annoying of them grates on my nerves |

| I used to in-game RP (something I'm under no circumstances proud of) and then later joined the forums. RPing on a forum rather than a game improves skills mandatory for good writing significantly more, such as, grammar, character development, forming plots, vocabulary, etc. I believe that everyone who joins the forum (except for those who blatantly refuse to take advice from the skilled writers of the forum) is molded to become adept writers with strong imagination. |

| I don't get all the prejudice against in-game RPers. There's plenty of good RPers out there that RP in-game, and I do it myself from time to time. I just met an in-gamer the other day, and he was pretty good. And I found him at Kingdom Life, no less. |

"something I'm under no circumstances proud of" Everyone starts out somewhere, you know. This is nothing to be ashamed of- In-game RPing doesn't necessarily mean you're bad at it; that's just the tendency in this case, since in-game RPing is easier and attracts more newbies than forum roleplaying does. Most of them never even find the forum; we're the lucky ones. |

| Moreover, there's plenty of in-game RP communities in ROBLOX that make us look like amateurs. |

I've been in two in the past; Ciphrus and Dawn of Hemera. There still were many more experienced roleplayers here, but game roleplaying is quite different from forum roleplaying in it of itself. Here, you're usually writing a post about what your character is thinking and doing. In-game roleplaying usually focusses on quick actions and dialogue. |

| That's true, but they also tend to be more knowledgeable in the setting or genre than us. I used to participate in a small group of in-gamers (well, sort of; I'm pretty sure they saw me a nuisance) that RPed at TecMagDiam's Medieval Life game, and they seemed to have wider understanding of... well, medieval life. Our "medieval" RPs usually take place in a fictional world and consist of minimal medieval elements. |

| Definitely. Both of those games I mentioned had a long lore page that you were required to read and acknowledge when roleplaying. |

| Yo guys, if you want to have a very developed character and strong focused lore, I recomend RPing in World of warcraft. Yes, its a nerdy game, But I really play it for the RP aspect. Strong lore, Interesting opportunity for RPs, all of it. |

I haven't been here in a while, but I don't think this is very common, since I've never seen one of these (Unless you are talking about in-game)
But the again I used to RP in nation rps, not "real" rps. |
