Venting off steam albeit here.
People, the number one ting that ticks me off is that you all imply I have a gun fetish, that I only care about bullets rather than people.
STOP. JUST. STOP. Yes, it seems at times I'm stubborn, but I try to have a rational discussion most of the time concerning firearms. (I ONLY HAVE ONE MILITARY RP, ONE, AND PEOPLE LIKED IT) It seems that the more and more I be here the more and more intense hostility brews. Which brings me to another point. It seems that I'm starting to get more hostile to everyone around here. Yes, it is true, I admit, but I'm not certain why. It seems I'm starting to have random emotional spurts of "happy", then "annoying", and then depressed. No, it's not school. No, it's not my father, either.
A third thing I'm starting to note is that there's more and more Oocs every day. Although yes, RPF is almost always like this, it seems to be getting worse. And they're starting to get more pointless.
So, bleh. Random things. Feel free to go "rock no one gives a flying crap about your feelings" Flamingos |

W8 m8 Forgot a thing
In short, I want to apologize to the RPF for my sometimes uncalled for behavior. All I ask is an acceptance to the apology. |

Yes, you have a gun fetish, but no, you don't care more about bullets than people.
We all have our little niches.
I don't hate you, but I can't speak for other people. |

| The OoCs have always been rather off-topic as long as I've been here. |

Meh, it's the internet.
Aren't you the same exact guy who criticized Mega in his pokemon thought thread saying liking pokemon was essentially the equivalent to bronies: "grown men obsess about it" or something like that. Then you over here on your soapbox about not being a gun-nut?
Jesus bud, it's the internet. I can't speak for anyone but besides myself I'd let all except one of you die to keep my internet on. |

| I agree that the OOCs are getting more and more off-topic, but you weren't here a few years ago when "OOC" meant "This is a thread about collaborating, roleplaying styles, upcoming RPs, etc.", nowadays it means "The ordinary random bullcrap that people here post". |

You kind of had me until you mentioned OCCs. There are no more OCCs than there were last year in fact there are less at times but all people do is complain about them for the sake of complaining about something.
Rock sometimes it seems like you have an ego which is not disimilar to others on this forum. You don't care more about guns than people but at the same you regard your opnion above others when it comes to RP genres. It was evident in Mega's recent interest check but I don't want to criticise you because you are pretty cool. Just know that the only reason some people may imply that you love gun is because you make it seem like you do. |

What Duck said. Pretty much. There only seems like there's more ooc in comparison to the less adequate roleplays.
Like, the ooc to roleplay ratio is unbalanced, where there being less of one. |

| Or maybe people just ran out of ideas for rps and suddenly feel they should just resort to telling what they ate for dinner. |

STOP JUST STOP posting about how great guns are, and then complaining about how everyone thinks you're a gun nut
It's actually pretty reasonable to think so seeing how you act |

This is out of topic on this out-of-context thingy, but... What if we MADE A THREAD on here for all of the OOC that doesn't even minorly relate to RP, and everyone posted on it? Or, instead, there is a single thread where we each put links from our rants on OT? [Yes? No? Okay. -Gets hit by a tomato and boo'ed off the stage-] |

| Godsdj, your ideas are good. Of course, I thought of them and proposed them earlier, presenting reasoning for the advantages of them. But still nobody really cared, thinking it simpler to just post here all their OOCs. |

| Maybe if you stopped complaining about "ders no guns!111!!" on medieval-esque RPs, then people would stop saying you have a gun fetish. |

OOC SPEECH INCOMIIIIIING!!!
.
.
.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM OoCs are because of the community here, and we each play a part (a large portion taking part in OoCs.) People have tried to lessen the amount of OoCs in the past, but it didn't work. Do you know why?
When Tai and some other people argued against OoCs a couple months short of a year ago, the "OoC-haters" fought against them aggressively. Flame wars spouted almost everywhere in RP, and occurred in basically every OoC that popped up, whether it was really relevant or not. Thus, more and more OoC threads were made, some offending, others defending, some giving futile attempts at trying to break up the fight, and even others just innocently posting interest checks and such. When the war had ended, there were more OoCs made than there ever would have been without.
Timeskip. StegosaurusGuest, the probably-alt, returns. [She?] makes a thread saying that "ALL OoCs should be put here." Of course, it was a good-intentioned, but terrible, idea. Never could one put ALL THEIR OOC TALK into ONE THREAD- It would be a mess. People would have to flip through hundreds, eventually even thousands, of pages of replies, just to find ONE post. Needless to say, the thread was a subject of controversy, and many people made other OoCs just to spite her. Again, when the wave had passed, more OoCs had been made than there would have been otherwise.
"There are way too many off-topic things here. These OoCs belong in OFF-TOPIC, not RP." "But OoCs build up our community! We can't just get RID of them! Besides, some are bad and some are good."
Fights and failures! All for what? Nothing.
Personally, I think that if someone really has something to say, but it isn't really relevant to RP, they can just have a game party and say everything they need to there. And I know what people ask next. What about links? You can't put up links in Roblox games. In those cases, you just have to decide whether it's, again, really relevant or not. Selfies? Irrelevant. No one needs to see your face, whether it actually be your face or not. If you really want to show off your lovliness (or ugliness), you can have an off-site party ... or ... you know ... JUST INVITE PEOPLE TO A PARTY CHAT. Drawings of RP/RPers? (cough cough me [and other artists] cough) Yes. (because it's a drawing OF ROLE-PLAY.)
It's up to each individual to decide whether they SHOULD or SHOULDN'T post an OoC; whether it's really relevant or simply a plea for attention. It's up to Rockmax. It's up to Birm. It's up to Dwagon. It's up to Pruz. Up to me. Up to EVERYONE, to do their own part, and NO ONE can stop us once we choose. |
