Hilarious how many butthurt people try to pounce on you. You're exactly right and I can't blame you. Not welcoming people to a game is generally a bad sign. Games that don't usually die very quickly, so leaving is a pretty good idea to begin with.
op is the butthurt one. what kind of moron drops a game for being unwelcoming without even trying to rp there first? so what if her friend didn't get replies on her ooc intro. big fucking deal. it could have been a fucking boring intro, people could have been busy, it could have been buried under a bunch of other posts, everyone could have been more occupied with, you know, rping...
dropping because a game didn't reply to your friend's ooc into is the dumbest overreaction i've seen in a while.
show more buttpain please. OP and probably dodged a bullet by not getting invested into a failing game. There's nothing for them to be butthurt by, you can find a game easily where people are actually welcoming to newbies.
how am i buttpained? i'm not the gameless crybaby here. idk how you're getting "failing game" from op's friend not getting ooc replies, but damn, you're reaching for the stars.
they might've blown off a perfectly newbie-friendly game because of their impatience and diva personalities.
Honestly, I've dropped a game over that before. But it was a game I was having second thoughts about anyhow, so that was just me getting even more second thoughts and the straw that broke the camel's back by that point.
And by the way, I do disagree with the anon who said the acceptance notice is the mods welcoming you. Most games have a very formal copy and paste acceptance notice that is completely and utterly impersonal in the effort to sound professional and get in all the info needed. It's nice to see at least one of the mods make a more personal touch and it only takes a couple of minutes and makes a huge difference between a new player feeling the game is welcoming and them starting to have second thoughts and increasing the chances that they won't even last past their IC intro.
if you were having second thoughts about a game before you even made an ooc intro, let's be frank, you shouldn't have applied in the first place
also i don't know why you're telling me about your disagreement with that other anon, i didn't say anything about mods anywhere. sure, it's nice if they reply, but i mean, come on. realistically, they're probably not going to have time
i don't respond to ooc intros unless it's (a) a castmate or (b) a character i recognize and am excited for, because "hi i'm (blank) i play (blank) i hope you have fun here!!!" gets super old to type after the thirtieth new ooc intro
Unless I know the person, the person mentions they're brand new to DWRP as a whole or if I'm super excited for the character they play, I don't comment to their intro. I've seen people get no ooc intro replies but go on to get HUNDREDS of comments on their IC intro.
