So I was at an RP for the Titanic (not movie related, just a general Titanic RP). I actually made an effort to look like and act like I belonged in 1912, and even gave my character an older-sounding name.
Then I look around and see a bunch of ODers wearing short-shorts and tank tops with RP names like Brittany and Tiffany and using way-too modern slang ("love ya bae" was a common quote on there).
Not to mention there were a bunch of kids going "it's gonna sink" before the ship even strikes the iceberg. One guy dragged me off a life boat to inform me that the boat will break in half.
Seriously, if you are going to RP in a historical event, at least make an effort to look and act like you belong there. Don't be saying what's going to happen before it happens, because if you're going to act like it's the real thing, then your character won't know what's going to happen.

Now try this on for size:
Human, Mouse and Pet story: You are aboard the Titanic back in April 11, 1912. You are not aware that the ship is going to sink in a couple of days.
Dolphin, Shark, and Octopus story: You live in the sea. dolphins and octopuses are good while sharks are bad. The sharks are planning to sink the Titanic by tricking Tentacles,a gigantic octopus, in an iceberg throwing contest so the Maltravers ships can hunt the whales. Dolphins and octopuses must stop them.
Rules No godmodding No mary/gary sues You can be an official character OR an original character HAVE FUN!
Official characters: Elizabeth Don Juan Smiley Ronnie Top Connors Stella Maltravers Rachael Tentacles Mr. Ice

Was that found on the RP subforum?
And RP is roleplaying.

1. ATF is mostly bad, I'll agree.
2. What's KLII.
3. Warriors RPs have actually gotten a lot better over the years. |

KLII is Kingdom Life 2.
I have been to Darkened Dawn and that one is beyond cringeworthy. I used to RP as an alien with ice powers there, but then all of the May Sues and Marty Stus invaded and killed the game for me.
And why does every OC I see seem to have a dark and tragic backstory that they angst over every chance they get? IDC if it's a dark RP. You don't have to be unbearably angsty.

"KLII is Kingdom Life 2."
Oh yeah, I've been to it. It's pretty bad a lot of the time.
"I have been to Darkened Dawn and that one is beyond cringeworthy. I used to RP as an alien with ice powers there, but then all of the May Sues and Marty Stus invaded and killed the game for me."
Poorly-written nekos and vampires everywhere.
"And why does every OC I see seem to have a dark and tragic backstory that they angst over every chance they get? IDC if it's a dark RP. You don't have to be unbearably angsty."
Making your character or their life extremely nihilistic is a classic Stu/Sue trait. |

@Choco
One of these days I want to join an infamously bad RP place and have a character like this. Just have a really poorly written and/or obnoxious character.
Also, back when they still had the knife I would use it to move people. It would make many users angry.
@Evil
What's almost as frustrating IMO is when characters know things they shouldn't (as in it's almost as frustrating as straight-up god-modding). |
