I can't tell if I'm a boring RPer or if my game mates are just a bunch of cliquish flakes, but trying to get CR and tags is like pulling teeth, even though I make an effort to tag out.
This is me all the time.
All that you can do is keep trying. Assume the best in your fellow players when you can and if it burns you too much focus on new people who have yet to let you down.
And always keep trying to improve, but don't feel bad about being flaked on because in the end this is supposed to be fun.

Do you play obscure characters or lone canon warriors? That might have something to do with it.
I wish I were in your game. I love obscure characters and LCWs!
them: your icons are ooc
me: how can icons be ooc
them: the expressions, your character would never make those faces in canon
me: ....... the icons are made from screencaps from the canon
them: they're ooc, you should stop using them
me: ??????????????

... ww..huh? i hope you told them where to shove it. what the hell icons were they expecting you to use?
my new castmate just gave me a response in our first thread that is so wildly ooc that i literally don't know how to respond. like i actually do not know what to do here and am not sure the thread can continue.
obviously i need to crit them and i get that but like, just what to do for this particular thread. i don't want to be that asshole who asks then to edit a tag or whatever but like. what else can i do? have my character icly be stunned that their friend is acting like this? pretend like nothing's wrong?
i feel bad because the mun is really young and super nice but
what... the fuck...

Go ahead and politely request an edit. If you're polite and gentle about it and they throw a fit it's not worth devoting more time to, if they take it on board and change things, thank them, and if they take a third option and explain why they believe it to be IC, well, weigh thing out from there.
sometimes when I reply on here I wonder if I'm arguing with people I consider friends
sometimes when I look for a smut partner, I wonder if the sock tagging me is dad
okay so everyone is always complaining about cliques but let me tell you it is just a thing that happens with roleplay
try something for me
http://www.shamchat.com/
go here and see how in a random character random partnership chat room there are still cliques
go on ill wait

...okay? i'm pretty sure anyone with two brain cells was already aware that cliques weren't a dwrp exclusive thing. they're a human thing. we're attracted to like kind, we group up, cliques form. wow, what a revolutionary discovery!
i don't think you thought this all the way through, but have this for your effort anyway.

who the fuck prices dw services and why are some reasonable and some insane? it's the most bizarre thing in the world.
the paids and even the premium paids are very reasonable, but then you have shit like 15 dollar rename tokens and $1 PER ICON a la carte. surely renaming isn't that hard of a process and wouldn't it make sense to set things like icons at a lower price point? sure, it'd be cheaper, but you'd get more revenue because people would be willing to buy much more.

the pricing a la carte icons i can understand because they're permanent and you never have to rebuy them again (as long as you have a paid). some of my permanent icons i've had for several years now, since i buy 5 everytime my premium runs out.
when you get a tag from someone you hate playing with because they're boring, but don't feel like "you're boring" is sufficient cause to ask them not to tag you
pm them and tell them that your writing styles don't mesh and that it is best not to tag you again.
man, even our trolls have been half-assing it lately.
would you play with someone you hate if they were an otherwise decent player, were the only person who played the character you wanted to play with, and you had an agreement up front to never, ever speak oocly?
no, because the number of characters I'd like to play with is greater than the number of people I hate
I'd rather thread with someone I can plot with ooc if I need to and avoid the knob

the longer i'm in this game, the more i dislike the people that are in it that i'd been friends with. they're at least okay at rping, but i wish i'd never gotten to know them personally.
I don't think I hate RPers in general, I just hate the judgey bitches who live on here. Some of you are so full of shit about it too, either admit you aren't getting ~*~linked by a friend~*~ every other day or stop talking about it.
which rper(s) do you think have the biggest ego?
which have the highest standards in order to play with them? is that deserved or not?
do you sometimes have standards that might be too high?

always neko
and while she is a decent writer when she actually deigns to play with someone, she doesn't deserve the standards she demands
as for me, my standards are shamefully low

(Anonymous) 2015-01-22 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)and anons thought we needed a new season of DRR for the terribly izayas to crawl out of the woodwork
You're going for another season? Seriously? I just stopped watching in the middle of the most recent episode because it's gone from being a good show to, "Hey, let's see how much money we can make off this!" I mean, I used to care for the characters, and now I kind of just want to see everyone die in a massive apocalypse.
Even fanfiction can't fix you - because the only way to fix it is to just cut off the cliffhanger in Swan Song and pretend seasons 6 - now never happened.

misfire, anon.
but what, you don't want to see another season of dean winchester: man pain while sam and even castiel now are nothing but accessories to making dean look like the most put upon martyr of all fiction?
that being said, dude, supernatural was never a good show. that's why the first three seasons are so much better than what came after. back then, it was aware it was essentially episodic love letters to urban legends and b movie shlock. when it attempted to become this great epic was when all the charm of blue collar ghost hunting was lost.

Nothin’ worse than that specific style of unmistakably dude-drawn cartoon porn that’s awkwardly shiny and has all sorts of weird anatomical contortions and protruding vulvas and saliva strings. There is absolutely nothing attractive about that shit.
i've seen so many porn icons with mounds of venus making no goddamn sense in contortion or foreshortening. not to mention vaginal openings on stomachs for some reason and vaginal lips that are practically nonexistent. i know big lips down there "look like roast beef' or some bullshit to dudes, but when there's no visible lip and the pussy looks like it's falling out, it's not cute.
have you ever wanted to start playing from a rly old and well established fandom? how did you handle juggling a canon that most of the fans know backwards and forwards? I just want to have fun but there's so much obscure fandom theory and preference I'm not sure I won't just be laughed out
i'd never do it, tbh. which sucks because i'd love to play han solo or something but i'm not touching that fandom with a 10-foot pole.
I hate when ATP is on the very last day of the month and now we get that two months in a row
Reserves are gonna be closed by then dangit

most games will extend reserves in case of atp, if the mod remembers. and if not, it doesn't hurt to drop them a pm after atp and ask if they'd consider opening reserves again.
Sometimes I feel like I am the gigantic bitch and the only reason anyone even still associates with me is out of obligation, or because everyone else is too polite to tell me how much of a worthless piece of shit I am.
Fuck, I hate being depressed.

anon, the world is full of many personality types
if you were were really the gigantic bitch, some people might put up with you out of obligation, but a bunch of people would also have called you out
if that hasn't happened, it's totally your brain lying to
depression sucks sfm, and I'd give you a big hug if I could

I always prefer playing in something huge and sprawling like Star Wars. One book/movie fandoms get so grabby with every little scrap.

at least i'll probably stop hearing people going on about how their characters are the greatest

people that are so terrified of OMG INFOMODDING/GODMODING/RUINING SOMEONE'S CR that they ignore a villain's shitty actions.
doubly so for the above if heroic castmates are involved. i'm sorry, it's stupid and OOC that cloud doesn't warn people that sephiroth is a psychotic, evil fuckhead, no matter how woobily sephy is played.

Why am I seeing Luna Lovegood with an asian PB and black Hermoine? Did I fall asleep and end up in a Tumblr rant about lack of POC in literature or something?
man this is the third fucking time someone's brought up that asian pb luna
