gamewide plots and events that inevitably fizzle out when the person running them doesn't release new info for weeks or months at a time and leaves anyone trying to get involved in limbo. when a plot takes almost a year to get going i stop caring tbh.

castmate apping for the apparent sole purpose of trapping me in a ship

I don't ship it, they know I don't ship it, and it's not canon

why you do dis

if it's not canon, you're not being trapped into playing anything. just play it ic and if they whine and fuss that you're being ooc, point out that their wannabe ship is neither canon nor anything you wanted to play out, which they're aware of. keep screenshots of all pms. give to mods if they make a big deal over it.

how the fuck could them apping possibly "trap" you into a ship? especially if it's not canon?

or are you just assuming that just because someone ships something, they'll automatically gun for it in a game?

Oh, fuck you. People do not have to check with you OOC before replying and being IC. That's like posting with your character asking a question then bitching because people didn't check with you OOCly first before having their character answer it.

If you can't handle offers from healers to do what they're supposed to do, don't make posts about injuries.

Why does it feel like half the people who sign their character up for plot-intensive roles in an event almost immediately flake out?

Bonus points for coming back a week into the plot all "lol idk what's going on someone tell me what my character should be doing???"

either that or they tag at the speed of frozen molasses.

i glances at a couple of people who signed their characters up for plot-heavy stuff in my game given their average tagging speed.

You were on hiatus. Yet you sent me a couple of reminder emails about the log we had planned before you even finished your hiatus. So I posted it the day you announced you were off hiatus since you seemed eager about the log.

Now it has been two days and you haven't replied to this log you were so eager about, nor have you sent an email asking me to change anything in my setup.

Da fuq?

When you get a bad feeling about a player in your game but shrug it off as paranoia or overthinking only to later find out they were a huge asshole in another game and have just been keeping their asshattery under better wraps this time.

stop complaining about your game tags and having NO MOTIVATION

you've been in this game over a year and you've nEVER had motivation to do your god damn tags, don't act like this is out of the norm

cut it out, finish some damn threads for once. Put up or shut up and get out I'm SO TIRED of your bullshit. Not to mention that every time we crit you it goes through your eyes and out your ass.

I'm so close to filing a mod complaint I swear

I'd feel more sorry for people like that if they didn't drop threads nigh constantly.

Like, we get it, you only want to thread with like one or two people. People get like that sometimes. But that's what PSLs and memes are for, okay?

If you're only gonna play with a few people, do it on your own time. Don't get into a game and get people (especially your castmates) excited to play with your character! Don't even bother trying to plot things out with other people, because you're just going to tag them two or three times while racking up a 70 comment long thread with your favorite character or ship partner.

It's a waste of everyone's time.

so fucking sick of everyone being so pedantic these days in regards to ~what's absolute canon~ and what isn't

so and so is never EXPLICITLY SHOWN drinking alcohol in canon!!! despite the fact they're a hard broiled detective who smokes and hangs around bars all the time and is grizzled and has empty beer bottles strewn all over the brief glimpse we get into their apartment

uh

that's a very strong implication they drink alcohol if i ever saw one. if they seem like the type to booze it up they probably are especially when it doesn't clash with their personality.

(no this isn't an analogy for sexuality headcanons or smthn. i'm actually referring to a character's drinking habits here.)

If you feel the need to say that your character is a big buff dudebro in every tag you write, I think you're compensating.

Nobody besides you actually cares.
