okay anons clear it up: is this person actually a problem player or just a bad writer

Re: BLUE / WEEFOLK

[(Anonymous)]

they're both

they're also "that kroker" and "that ten", they are infamous for cosplaying as their characters for job interviews and being painfully socially awkward. their tags are almost unreadable and don't make sense

they're also the kind of player who asks mods stupid obvious questions all the time and need to have the most basic mechanics explained to them

Re: BLUE / WEEFOLK

[(Anonymous)]

they're a mediocre-to-poor writer and they have limited social skills but they've never been willfully malicious about anything afaik

This is the person who was, for a while, famously known for giving Crocker from Fairly Oddparents an eating disorder headcanon. Simply because the character is skinny.

Take that how you will.

both - i remember a bunch of deets were dropped when they were banned from apping to deer country early like the other deerington players. whenever they're namedropped the exact same "oh they're innocently harmless, never malicious" is brought up that makes me think that's blue posting here trying to control the narrative lol.

because they've just gotten better at covering their tracks. back when they added me i saw how they'd delete the more egregious things posted on plurk such as complaining about and/or mocking the people that opt out of playing with them, the games that ban them, their insensitive "jokes" and bigotry, ect. so they are self aware sometimes. people have said before that blue's harassed them and there's a reason mods dread seeing them on their game tdms.

It's weird that commenters here are talking like she's some active problem to deal with, when she vanished from RP for months because she was injured and in the hospital.

they prefer the term 'little people'

blue is... well, harmless but also an annoyance? there are players who get so passionate about a single character that it's their entire personality. blue is like that. currently she is very deeply involved with doctor who, as in she has seen everything ever aired, read/listened to every audio book or comic, and can tell you how many times a companion has been seen by the numbers. or can explain to you why the 14…(15+?) doctors are like this or that compared to cheesecake. she has met almost all the living actors for each of the doctors, spent money on signatures and props, and her home is decked out in “who” everything. she does in fact cosplay as 10/14, but also, his costumes were so simple that it's no big deal. her students seem to enjoy her antics. she goes out often with local friends to doctor who events, always dressed up, and posts fun looking pictures. socially awkward but out there.

in other words, she is a super fanatic, of the highest degree. a blackbelt stan, if you well.

she is mostly harmless... depending on who you are and how you handle people with a (possibly self proclaimed, possibly diagnosed?) slight mental illness/disability. she is apparently "on the spectrum" and her hyper focus tends to be on fictional things. she relates her own troubles through the characters she plays. and let's face it, most of us play for escapism, and there are a ton of rpers out there that turn their character depressed, or gay, or with scars, or overly happy, or just... whatever fits their needs. it's rp. it happens.

however.... she can get really fucking annoying over it. she will plurk post 4 to 12 times a day, pinging people for the smallest things. stuff most people post as private plurks, like "soandso ten really adored the flowers!" ... to which no one else has any context. at all. and then a minute later, because she did another tag to someone else... she posts another plurk with a cryptic open to the public reply. it gets really annoying. mix in two or three cryptic doctor who plurks, or a somewhat sweet post about a student who drew a picture of the doctor for her, and it gets really crowded. they have had to be told, many times, especially back with siren's port, mask or menace, high seas, deerington, and a few others that she did not need to "@" a person every single comment they made in her own plurk. she has gotten better about that, but she still plurk floods.

and of course there is the whole english teacher who has a hard time getting... a lot. or how poorly she writes replies. there are no long replies for anyone. she is a very short one or two sentence, no emotion, just convo or text kind of rper, which a lot of the generation of older rpers stepped away from. top it off with it being hard to understand some/most posts, and she makes for a very hard to rp with writing partner. (note: if you contact her asking her to explain a tag because you do not understand, she does try to make it clear? but even then you might be lost)

so while i personally do not have a problem with her, i also do not actually roleplay with her anymore. she can be sweet, and she is very knowledgeable with doctor who, even if her characterization can be lacking. but i wouldn't say she 'bad talks' people, at least not publicly as far as i can tell? it always feels more like soft whining that she doesn't understand why she's banned or why people are mean.

that said, i also might not see all the other things people are seeing. i want to be clear, i do not mean to discredit others' comments with all this. this is just the things i have seen over the last...forever of being on dwrp. i've also gotten really good at ignoring her plurks, so i miss things.

tl:dr - mostly harmless, but has her bad spots. not a good writer even for a english teacher, but honestly she doesn't seem malicious or mean. also i have noticed if she tags you and you ignore it with no comment, she doesn't seem to notice and carried on with life.

best to stay away if you have no patience, but if you don’t mind bad writing and crack? it doesn’t hurt.

as a heads up, i do believe she is playing as 14 (10 on repeat) now on a new journal, but I am unsure which it is.

who even is this

Re: NAMEDROPPING

that's that temple. not wanky but baffling character choices and [inserts another finger]-tier rp, and they attracted anon attention early on by being an overenthusiastic newbie who couldn't read a room

i don't see them around much these days but they're always low key irritating like that

Ok since it's question time in this thread, who is this? the name come up last post and sounds like a pesky person, but is this even someone very present? I have literally never heard of them, is there a point in being wary if they turn up in a game or are they not even going to show up anywhere?

She's mostly just annoying to see if you have mutual with her, as she's one of those "/hugs u" types whenever someone has a bad day but also she posters folks about tags when the other party has stated they're having a hard time multiple times.

Re: LWP

[(Anonymous)]

She's in escordvi and vr according to her plurk. If you don't play in those you'll probably never run into her.

she keeps her head down but is pushy and fake as hell and likes to try and tell people what they can and cant rp and who they can and cant talk to. isnt very good as a friend and never takes no for an answer

Re: LWP

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly we used to run in the same circles years ago but I've never met anyone more pushy for tags and stretching characterization. Other than that she's nice enough in passing, just don't get yourself into a cast with her.

Re: milk

That is so casually controlling and manipulative, holy shit.

Re: milk

[(Anonymous)]

I was all set to dismiss this as grudgewanking over someone's mental health issues, but asking their friends not to play with people they don't like because it makes them uncomfy is a crimson red flag. Never met anyone who didn't use that kind of request as a spring-board to be controlling in other ways, and people who do this always turn out nastier than the people they want their friends to blacklist.

Re: milk

[(Anonymous)]

The manipulation here goes craaaaaaazy... any deets on who they're non subtly being passive aggressive about this time? I can't understand someone who's apparently so desperate for friendship and connection while also deliberately sabotaging every single friendship they might ever make

Re: milk

[(Anonymous)]

the bolter
Im also just realizing people care way more about getting to play with anyone and everyone than they care about how uncomfy it makes a friend and thats just how it is.

that is... sure something

Any more deets on their homophobia and pedophilia? Are either the result of taking Ambien?
