Looks like basic newgrounds shit right now and not at all worth 2 million dollars.
Stop forcing yourself to play in a game when all you do is complain about how hard it is to do tags because you're so tired/stressed/not feeling it all the time.
Just drop. It's not that big of a deal. People aren't going to care that much. I'm sick of RPers staying in games they clearly feel nothing but contempt for because... I have no idea why. It can't be for great CR or love of the setting since you're not doing tags.

I agree that Carrie Fisher kind of embraces that reputation, but there's a time and place to refrain from the trash garbage baby dialogue.
Is made by me a terrible tagger, too, or is it just the horrible icons? I'd love to hear how it goes if only because I haven't read much about them past the icon stage.
If ever a time to post random memes, now's a good one! It won't last for much longer though...
they're a boring tagger. very neckbeardy, tab a into slot b or yuri doujin shit.
are they actually withholding the popular character as leverage or are they just tagging out with the character they want to play more that doesn't have as much cr and it just seems like withholding?
i've known people who do the leverage approach. a friend once told me that she withheld her canon character, who was extremely popular, from people who wouldn't tag her oc because she was offended people liked the canon character (who was from a popular canon) more than her oc.
i've also known people who apped two characters, one more popular than the other, who weren't trying to be shits about it. they just struggled to get cr with the unpopular character and would tag out more with them, while being inundated with cr whenever they posted with the popular one.

The feet draggers should stop signing up for these plots. I don't mean the people who have to hiatus suddenly because of a family emergency. I mean the people who are sitting on their ass all day everyday on Plurk or Discord talking about their characters but never participating in the plot they signed up for.
You're that same fucker who fouled up the oc drawing giveaway thread on rpa a few months ago, aren't you? Fuck off with your jealous insecurities.
It's not needless! I'm trying to set up for future events I plan on weaving into the upcoming few tags to take us out of the boring as fuck mingler small talk that every game everywhere has. Either drop the thread or help me out here, stop ignoring my hooks so you can stonewall me with 'blinks' or other one-liner boring-ass responses! You're boring the pants off of ME!
I can see why someone would put in more effort with the character who needs it to have any CR at all than the character who's guaranteed to have threads.
yeah, pretty much.
if you're terrible, at least you could be funny bad or interestingly shitty.

- Tags are cut from the same cloth. Same kinks, same setups, same typing-with-one-hand dirty talk that leaves one feeling just a bit in need of a shower.
- There's nothing wrong with hypnokink, he just doesn't ever really do anything interesting with it besides make the other girl parrot the exact same "sexy" (um no) stuff back. Most people he tags get tired of the regurgitation and just pull a fade.
- His Katsuragi talks and sounds exactly like the creepy Succubus and every other character he plays. If you changed the names you would not be able to tell them apart. There is nothing more disappointing in RP than putting in the effort to get IC for someone who never does.
- Doesn't really keep the scene in his head. You write out how your girl is posed or where her hand is, he'll just make it up for himself the next post.

while there's players who take it too far, there's a reason people do this. let's say that captain bob is usually a happy go lucky guy in canon, but over the past few months in game the world's shit all over him and he's in a pretty foul mood in general. a newbie coming in who's familiar with the canon might be confused over bob's change in demeanor, so some exposition helps explain why he's behaving outside of the norm. it can also help set up threads that will eventually pull bob out of his funk and develop his character further.
I completely sympathize with not wanting to see your siblings go, but this person really is in no shape to take custody of them.
If you find yourself consistently overwhelmed, cut back.
It seems simple but no one actually does it. It's like 80% of the problem with chronic flakes and 90% of the problem with the chronically miserable. Sure, you may be a bit sad to drop that game you've theoretically really enjoyed, but you'll do better on your other threads with the pressure off. And if you find in six months that you can handle more than you could before? Re-join the game!
Remember that this is supposed to be fun. If you're not having fun, change something about how you're doing it.
If you find yourself with a crush on a roleplay partner, be a little cautious. This is an emotion-heavy hobby and can lead to false positives. Maybe pull back on actual RP with them for a little while, see if you and they have other things in common or other hobbies you can take part in together. From experience, RP alone is a terrible basis for an actual relationship. (Think of all the strife and frustration you sometimes feel with canonmates or game-mates and turn that up to 11. It's not that it's not doable, but it takes a lot of work and an insane amount of communication.)
There's no shame in saying to a PSL partner 'this isn't working for me; let's hash out something else'. If your partner flips out, that sucks, but be patient. A lot of people in this hobby tie up their egos in it, and aren't used to criticism or failure. It can be hard for both people involved, but learning to hash things out openly is so valuable. And if they really can't take it after all? Then you've lost nothing of real value. Besides, if both people aren't having fun, what's the point?

True, then you also get the cases where the fandom view of the character is so out of sync with the actual canon that it's baffling.
>no tension/conflict
because conflict is icky and """problematic""" when you write it into a gay relationship
isn't it so nice that they can be blissfully, boringly happy 100% of the time

the amount of ungrateful shitstains bitching about their free shit they got yesterday is astronomically high.
and people complain because we have wankgate, damn
It's almost like there's room for roleplay aside from that hive mentality where everyone migrates from game to game until there's nothing but bones left.
speaking as the anon who linked the original tumblr... what the fuck? they have their own fucking domain?
god damn, tumblr rpers take shit too fucking seriously.
at least dwrpers don't have a special wankgate.com url for our shitty internet drama.
also, if you really wanna see some hypocrisy: http://burnbooking.com/search/dreamwidth
OH, DW HAS WANKGATE, BETTER NOT RP THERE, GUYS. TUMBLR IS JUST FINE! -FROM A FUCKING WANK BLOG
