Today's New Year's Eve, and as such, it's time to do resolutions. I came up with a great one involving the RP community here - Write and post one RP a week. I don't have to post the RP if I'm collabbing with someone on said RP and they post it. ISRPs count. Do you guys have any ideas for New Year's Resolutions for yourselves or for me relating to RP?

| Does that mean you'll be able to manage 52 different RP's at once by the end of the year in case none die throughout the year? |

My resolution is that I will try to finish Revenge Against Minty, as well as trying to fulfill the promises that I probably have made. Also, I might even get you to notice my Vigilante ISRP thread.

Probably more; chances are there will be some ISRPs in there as well, making it closer to 100 different threads that I'll have to manage, assuming that nothing dies. Of course, knowing this community, most of them will die after a few months, and I may post some without actually participating in them, but I'll try to be active in as many of them as possible.

I usually don't do Resolutions be cause of procrastination.
Person: You should probably finish your Resolution. Me: I'll do it later. [Repeat for 364 days] Person: HURRY UP DUDE!! YOU ARE ALMOST TOO LATE FOR THE RESOLUTION THING!! Me: What was my Resolution again?

>Write and post one RP a week. Have you ever heard of quality over quantity? What good is one RP a week from you if it's all trash? Why even create that kind of deadline? Something entertaining will stop being entertaining if you set a deadline on it.
You actually resolving to make RPs is a good start. Everything after that is stupid. |

Annual resolutions are overrated and empty inside. A true resolution isn't affected by how close to the new year it is, nor is it fueled by shallow pressures and overused promises. |

my resolutions are 1366 x 768
and also i dont really do any resolutions, since i hardly ever (aka NEVER) follow through them. i mean, maybe it would be to "complete a nanowrimo for the first time" or to "start a webcomic" or to "make a successful rp" but we all know that's probably never going to happen, especially with school. especially with highschool, win senior year. so uh. yeah.
but if i could right now, it could be to try and finish my homework until i go to school. a bunch of online work, an english project which is open ended and confusing, and a really hard math worksheet. yeah. that's a good enough resolution, right?
but for real, my resolution for right now would be to "complete a nanowrimo, even if it's complete trash because anything is better than nothing come on pick even just 2000 character gibberish a day is good enough, it's something ", "try not to fail highschool, attempt to keep up with my classes," "do not procrastinate, please," "maybe get a job, even if it's minimum wage," "have fun" to "not break this laptop at all, make it last for more than 12 months, PLEASE". i think those are a bit realistic, and like i said, i'll probably wont be able to finish them, but it's just the bare minimum of what i want to do. or just the maximum of what i want to do. eh. maybe i'll add "stop being so depressive and edgy" to that list too.

Same. I had an osu! Background problem and discovered it needed to be 800 x 600. I though it was the computer resolution.

I never do resolutions because I'm the kind of person that can't follow simple instructions for 10 mins without messing around with them, let alone an entire year.

My resolution is simply to get better at roleplaying. As of right now I am rather bad at it.

My New Year's resolution is to reinvent myself!
Hell no. I'm not a typical white girl. I'm a white teenager.
But seriously, my New Year's resolution IS to eat healthier and work out more. I went to the clinic today to get my wellness check and my BMI percentage was 88%, which is 3% higher than the recommended percentage (this means I'm too fat.)
Good news, my doctor said that since I'm starting puberty late I'll be taller than other kids who have already been through/started puberty before me because it gives my bones a larger deadline to expand and grow.
Other resolution will be to take care of my new iPhone 6s, stop procrastinating, and actually not get in trouble with my new math teacher.
Fun fact; my math teacher is literally moving from SWEDEN just to come teach our lowly math class here in bum-out Texas. My last math teacher was Filipino and she was nice. But hopefully dem Euro-folk aren't as harsh as Asians are.
Okay... I think that's all of my resolutions.
Yeah mate.
I am actually thinking about making a community hub on here where we can just talk about controversial- I mean, randomly picked subjects using a Wheel of Fortune-esque thing. |

"Have you ever heard of quality over quantity?"
Yes, I have, but as it normally takes less than a week to produce an RP of the quality that I produce them ordinarily it's not much of an issue.
"What good is one RP a week from you if it's all trash?"
I'll make sure that they're good quality RPs. I'll collaborate and other people will make sure that they're good quality RPs. And, as I said earlier, it normally takes me less than a week to produce an RP of my standard quality, so it's more an issue about how quickly I can think of good ideas, which shouldn't be an issue until well after the average time that people forget about their resolutions.
"Why even create that kind of deadline?"
I like deadlines and I work better and quicker with them. Additionally, they help prevent procrastination.
"Something entertaining will stop being entertaining if you set a deadline on it."
But I like deadlines.
"You actually resolving to make RPs is a good start."
This is the first time in quite a while that I've set a deadline for RPs and actively resolved to make lots of them, but I still post RPs here semi-regularly. The tone of that particular sentence implies that I don't, which is false. Also, the tone is somewhat condescending, and as such I feel the need to point out that the last RP I've seen you join was Powers, over two years ago, and that I don't think I've seen you join nor make anything since. Feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken, but the tone of that particular sentence implies many things that are not true.
"Everything after that is stupid."
But I like deadlines.
