GAME PET PEEVES

we get it. you like your ship. that's great! but you don't need to reference it in every fucking tag you do. your character is perfectly capable of functioning outside of the relationship. canon review if you can't remember this. please stop treating the game like a stage and everyone else's characters as two-bit parts in your ship's epic romance. it's off putting and makes me want to stop pursuing cr with you.

Seconding this. Would also love it if every step in the relationship didn't need someone else to shove the characters together. No one else cares half as much as they do. If they constantly have to be forced together for the UST to build, then it's not a good ship.

someone is doing this in my game and i am so curious if it's the same person. she's getting really obnoxious about it to the point she's stalking meme threads of her ship partner's and pinging people on plurk if they "overstep" some invisible line she's drawn.

nothing will make me drop cr with someone than a person who does this. i get it that they like their ship, but don't use me as a prop for that type of shit.

if this is how they rp a ship, i'd hate to be dating them

Switching from one mod team that followed a very strict, on-the-dot schedule with announcements and events to one that's faaar more lax. It's stupid but I get really antsy.

That awkward moment when I'm not sure if someone's idea for a thread was serious or just joking around. I mean, I'd like to play it out and told them so, but now I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop and for them to go "jk i didn't really mean it."

Your character is more powerful than my character, I get it. Last time we threaded yours got to do all the important stuff because of this. And that's why, before we started this thread, the first thing I brought up was how we can make it a situation where your character DOESN'T steal the spotlight. You told me if x happened then your character would do y, so we both agreed this was how it would go down. I was very clear throughout this discussion that I didn't want the thread to end with my character sitting on the sidelines or having to be rescued because they can't actually help in any way.

So why, why, WHY is your character doing something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from what we discussed and stealing the scene again? I'm not here to play your character's cheerleading squad. Sit your ass down for one fucking threading and let my character do something.

when you want to play in low quality games just so you don't have the stress of uptight assholes in better games.

you've been slow as shit on your tags for weeks. this isn't new. posting a brand new excuse every day ("got distracted by new tv show!" "oops, caught up in meme threads today!" "oh no, my paid ran out!") is just making you look ten times flakier. how is this helping?

When someone consistently flakes on you until suddenly they get into your canon. Then suddenly they need to be up the entire cast's asses 24/7 and have their character too invested in this cr that never had the chance to be established and expect the whole cast to fall over everything they're doing, too.

Idk if this is the right place, but like...

Do you ever feel like you have too much CR? It feels like it's becoming a chore to keep up with ALL the people my character knows and whose muns want my character to thread with them, and when I fail to keep up with even one of them people start crying that our characters arent threading enough anymore. I'm grateful people wanna thread with me, but sometimes I just want to relax and have fun with a few people so I can actually keep up with things. I feel like I cant even post a plotting plurk without someone breathing down my neck to resume CR I've had to put on hold.

when you join a game that has the other half of a non-canon ship and they immediately get clingy, ping you on plurk every five seconds, can't stop talking about the ship in unrelated plurks, and mention your character in every thread of theirs to make a joke about how the ship is totally canon.

i should probably be flattered, but jesus christ shut up about it. go outside. forget i exist for a few minutes. you're making me want to drop what's otherwise a good game.

when you really want to cut off cr with a person but they've already attached themselves to your character's closest cr so it would be ooc for your character to ignore them and also make things awkward ooc for everyone else in the group

tmw you're way too nice and could have gotten a cast in game in so much shit for being immature assholes who don't talk about problems they have with other players until it's too late, because the mods of the game actually asked you what the issue was.

When an rp partner regularly misinterprets your tags and you've just. given up on correcting them and roll with their misinterpretations.

Re: GAME PET PEEVES

I know flakes are endemic but it feels like it's been extra prevalent in my games for a while. Maybe I'm just hitting a bad patch all at once, but it's pretty disheartening when so many threads are dropped within a couple weeks and a lot of the rest take just as long between tagbacks. I just want to be in a game that's actually active without a bunch of ooh shiny thread droppers or squatters who barely pass AC.

Re: GAME PET PEEVES

more of a question than a pet peeve but

is it just my game or is it getting more and more common for rpers to put up an "open" log that's empty. No scenes set, all they do is leave a message and tell people to contact them if they want to set up a scene to respond to. it's baffling.

Re: GAME PET PEEVES

look good for you for finding a new shiny game that's suddenly giving you all the shameless threads you want, seriously, congratulations. but when you're constantly ignoring the game we share for weeks on end, a game that has a character cap btw, you had better not start asking around for threads by the time ac rolls around i swear to god

rpers idc how subtle you thihnk youre being with faux-ic arguing on plurk, youre not being subtle at all.

ive watched so many players from so many games get ott defensive/buttmad about ic confrontations not leaning in their characters favor this month. its obvious every time.

Re: GAME PET PEEVES

I'm kind of starting to think "clique" is just a word for "anyone who decides to get their AC done with their close friends before they rp with me" around here most of the time.

Re: GAME PET PEEVES

This character is so desperate for my attention, and provoking my characters, and my only reaction is that I'm too angry to grant them even negative CR. I've never tagged them, but we keep ending up in the same group logs.
