i'm not gonna lie, it's weird and a little off-putting that you're saying that you lost, not your character. even if your character is competing icly for another character's affections, as a player you should be collaborating with the players involved (yes, including your "competition") to create an interesting story arc for everyone involved. normally i'd be sympathetic that negative cr dropped before your character could get some closure, because that really does suck, but if you're looking at it as a loss/win scenario for yourself as a player then you shouldn't be playing love triangles in the first place.
Been in this situation before, and honestly, it's one of the reasons I don't do love triangles anymore. I'm fine with a little pining over the one that got away, but when you're competing against a ghost, there's no way to win. Eventually, my character isn't going to have the patience, and look for someone who actually wants to be with them.
I was in an IC love triangle where we planned to have my character and another person's character get together as the end result, but then she suddenly sprung on me that she was going to ship her character with the other side of the triangle instead.
felt really bad in context mostly due to the fact we had planned for it, and then to suddenly be told "lol nvm" at the very last possible second
As a practicing occultist I make sure that no one spirit feels more attached to me than any other, as their attachment to their chosen wizard can sometimes create problems. One of the ways I manipulate my energy to this end is by not capitalizing names.
Wankgate, I come to you for advice because the idea I have straddles the line between a troll account and a bizarre but legit one. Specifically, remember the Wicker Man? The Nicholas Cage one with all the misogyny and bees?
Cage had reportedly wanted to do a sequel in Japan with Manus as a ghost. No joke (or at least I don't think entirely)
I've kinda wanted to do an account for Manus like that, as a vengeful but mopey ghost. It feels like the absolutely best kind of stupid imaginable, but do you think it could have any staying power if it found the right environment?
honestly, I think your best bet here, assuming you're 100% serious and this isn't some weird attempt at trolling, is just file the numbers off, swap some names around, change the pb and say it's an oc
i don't mind my friends rping more frequently with each other than me, they've got more going on, i get it
but i'm starting to get really sick of only get tags every couple of weeks from both of them. i'm beginning to feel less like they're just really into their stuff and more like they don't care about threads they have with me
i'm sure there's a way to solve this, but it's really hard trying to word it so i don't come off as just bitching for tags and being self absorbed
find new rp partners. A tag every couple of weeks is slow even by DW standards. You'll feel better about your writing once you've got people that want to rp with you regularly and it will take a great deal of the discomfort out of interacting with your friends so that you can enjoy them without being left hanging over tags.
Out of all the comments you've posted here, which one would have been the worst to anonfail on (you can just describe it, you don't have to link the comment)?
i've thrown so many golden apples about the games i'm in. sometimes i namedrop myself out of curiosity, other times i've namedropped people i was friends with for a bit but just got an off vibe.
or sometimes i defended and contributed to both sides of an argument because i knew it well enough that both parties had a legit point, but it became a dumbass shitfest on a hate meme because both of them couldn't communicate at all.
or other times i've pretended to a concerned anon to drive my own or my friend's sexual harasses out of games. so, yeah, i'm the eris of RP and i will take this to my grave.
i rescind my previous statement that they didn't 'own' the meme and it was a one time thing. i didn't realize the mods had set up them being the only poster.
