this wasn't THAT bad, but once i'd put up a "rp with me" type of request and had someone hit me up with their OC. fine.
i click the OC's journal, and there's pretty much no info inside other than that he's a king. well, okay. i PM the other player to ask them about their OC and see if i can get a sense of whether they'll mesh with my character. i get some rambling PMs back that are 0 percent helpful, and after a couple back and forth, all i've learned about the OC is that he's nice and friendly and a king... and that the player herself is married and has a kid, works a retail job, is very busy, is going to cook dinner now, blah blah blah before i stopped responding
to this day i'm still utterly baffled as to why she wanted to tell me all this
Re: the creepiest/skeeviest/most pathetic PMs you've ever gotten
i had a pretty pathetic pm from someone i cut out of my life once i started rping in public again. it was neutered and fake-sweet, wishing me well and talking about how they'd love to catch up with me and play with me again. like our fall out had never happened
get me numbers to compare to from a couple years ago and i'll happily stop believing this hobby is dying, or we can check again next year to see how the population does. until then, live in denial.
Is there a polite way to tell a mod that you think their AC requirements are too stringent? I'm in a small game right now and we've had quite a few people get booted out because they couldn't meet the AC requirements, which I've rarely seen happen in games before. One of the most active players in the game even made mention that they're having trouble getting enough threads going to make AC.
would you be okay if you were a made to order slave who found someone who treated you like an actual person for thousands of years, then lost them forever? can't really blame pearl for pearling.
does the game have a state of the game or hmd? is there a mod contact post?
bring it up in one of those. i'd do the hmd over the contact post if it's an option, if only because it'll give the game a chance to chime in and maybe the mods need to hear that it's not just one or two people having a problem.
it's definitely happening and it's not the egg hatching because the other day my friend had one that was less than halfway there disappear out of nowhere. there was no possible way it could've gotten that amount of distance and then hatched.
lj/dwrp's heyday was back when we were all young and too shitty to know better
now we have lives and jobs and we've matured enough to become elitist fucks. that plus sjw culture is choking the life out of dwrp like so much kudzu, i'd say there has to be less than a hundred individual players around
the fact that she is currently functioning as an autonomous person (albeit with serious and understandable emotional issues) completely debunks your idea that she is incapable of functioning as an autonomous person.
which means the heyday i remember from ye oldene days meant we probably had like, multiple hundreds of people floating around, goddamn. (i should probably have said that i'm not in games and i keep a low plurk count, tbh)
