GAME PET PEEVES

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

Don't blame your 'anxiety' and your 'tag brain' for why you can't tag me more than once every ten days. I see you tagging shit on Tumblr upwards of ten times a day. I see you literally bragging on plurk about how great all these meme threads you have are. I asked you if you were still interested in our thread after five days went by, and you said yes. I asked you if you wanted to write something different after a week, and you said no. And yet I'm still waiting for you to tag me.

If you don't want to write with me anymore, fine, don't, but at least have the balls to fucking say so. I hate how people use real mental illness as an excuse for their fucking laziness and inability to fucking communicate.

november: most of the game absent b/c of politics
december: most of the game absent b/c of holidays & burnout
january: ????

I understand that rl comes before rp every time & the holidays are tough on everyone, but this has been the second month in a row where the game's slowed to a crawl and I honestly wonder if it'll survive through even half of 2017

well anon, our orange overlord is taking office in january so don't expect much tagging then, either.

Re: GAME PET PEEVES

november and december are always slow in rp because of nanowrimo and holidays. this is our dead time, anon, and we survive it every year

[(Anonymous)]

honestly, anyone who keeps using politics by now as an excuse to not do tags may as well quit rping for the next four years. at least in games with activity checks anyway.

yeah it sucks, and i'm gonna be angry about it for the next few years as well, but if it affects you so much that you can't engage in your hobbies then you need to seek help (not sarcastic here btw.) I'm forgiving of people not being so active during this time of year - people got finals, a lot of rpers work in retail, holidays, etc - but you can't keep making excuses every month and expect people to still want to play with you.

Re: GAME PET PEEVES

for all the people playing female love interests that talk about getting snubbed in games I'm over here DYING to play out my character's canon m/f ship

and no one plays his love interest :(

and his love interest both an older (over 50) woman, which I rarely see played here, and from an LA canon that doesn't have much of a presence here to begin with so I doubt anyone ever will :(

i generally play the m in m/f, but on the few times i've played f's, they've varied in ages from early 20s - 40s, and trying to get smut cr for them in a smut game was impossible. the best i could get was that sort of throwaway lip service smut cr where 'they're totally smutting, really', but it was either all handwaved or i'd get one tag every week or two while they boomeranged with their favorite cr (which wasn't always m/m, so i'm not hating on the m/ms).

it is unfortunately just a lot easier to get cr and smut cr when you're an m/f playing m than when you're a f. and the lack of fs is probably from people who've tried and failed and opted not to keep failing. it's a self perpetuating shitty cycle. i wish we could break it.

If you're looking for a Laura Roslin to ship against Adama I would be so down for that, fyi

I know, I know. My character is being condescending and bitchy. This is, regrettably, entirely in line with their character. They don't consider the feelings of others, and they often assume that everyone else is stupid.

The point is, this is the character you tagged, and I'm playing them IC. It's not personal. There's no need to get PA in your meta text.

Re: GAME PET PEEVES

[(Anonymous)]

check to make sure your own meta isn't unnecessarily condescending and bitchy. a lot of people who play asshole characters make the mistake of including asshole commentary in their meta without writing in a tight enough voice to make that meta come off as strictly IC.

Re: GAME PET PEEVES

Is it too much to ask that, in a game with lots of physical mutations, you put the description of how fucked up your character is in a place that's easily referenced?

[(Anonymous)]

nothing like going from lcw to having a bunch of castmates who are going to have strong emotional impacts on my usually well-balanced character to make me salty over the holidays! all of the players are dull at best and ooc at worst, too, just adding insult to injury.

[(Anonymous)]

go play in psls or get over it. you don't get to monopolize a canon.

[(Anonymous)]

I've experienced similar too many times to not want to give up games because of it.

So much wasted effort to develop my character, gone in the matter of a week or so.

[(Anonymous)]

TMW people who play characters with powers have to take a hiatus because they don't want their precious snowflakes to be affected by a depowering plot.

HOW DARE THE MODS DO A PLOT THAT MAKES MY BABY BE HUMAN-LIKE?!

If they wanted to play a human, they'd have played a human, right?

it's a SOL game, how often do you use all their sparklepoo powers anyway?

just drop already. you're shitty as it is. ALL of you.

We want the Medietas players to stay in Medietas

i'm pretty sure hiatusing through a plot you have zero interest in is the sensible course of action here.

do you shake and cry over people hiatusing through genderswap plots and "lol the water is all alcohol" bullshit too?

[(Anonymous)]

My character's already de-powered because of a technicality when he joined, so the plot wasn't even going to affect me.

I don't understand why anyone was complaining. De-powering can be a fun concept, and they definitely could've survived 3 months.

Now they get to just survive for one month. Kudos to the mods for changing their plans to keep their playerbase happy, but I'm kind of sad their game plans had to change because a few people don't want to have to think of plots to do, despite the tons of potential plots they could've done in the original time.

Dude, if you admit you're playing a character from an obscure canon, please, for the love of God, put your app or at the very least basic information about them in your journal! This is the first time I've ever interacted with or even heard of your character in the game. I don't want to have to hunt through pages of apps to find yours so that I know what basic pronouns to call your character and what unusual powers they're using in a thread.

[(Anonymous)]

of all things you go after pronouns??

why not just look at one of their threads and see how they refer to the character?
