Roleplay Online with RolePlayGateway

ok one thing I don't understand
WHY IN WORLD WOULD YOU JOIN AND RP AND NOT FRICKEN POST!

That annoys me so much I could use the F' word as every word in the sentance I'll be screaming at the top of my lungs.

I got a friend she tells me she's dedicated to our rp I send her three pms saying "Hey I posted." One even said happy birthday since I couldn't attend her party. It said she was on every time I sent one.

No replies to the message or guild. (this is on gaia to let you know)

That's seriously the most annoying thing on earth next to someone who is new to rp-ing and asks you if their post was good.

Issue two.

DON'T KICK ME OUT OF MY OWN TOPIC!

I recently got kicked out my own rp sliently. Nobody even messaged me.

ONE I F'ING STARTED! and they people ignore my posts completely. Dude if I posted the topic my only rules are no god modding and respect me (which in my mind should always be a given because) I started the idea, I wasted my time finding people and checking back. I'm the one awake at 3 am wondering if my topic even made it on the radar. K so the least you can do is try to respect the creator of the rp you are enjoying.

If anything I said also bugs the $hit out of you reply I want to know I'm not the only who gets p'od about this

DUDE I KNOW that forum isnt even posting. Oh and if i ever ignored you im srry dude -.-

I have a minor annoyance. RPs are supposed to be an adventure you create together, but there's an inherent problem in that. If one member of the RP decides to leave for a number of days, your whole adventure gets stalled. It happened to me on one of the topics I was on, where a guy made two posts, then just disappeared. He's been gone for 18 days and probably is not coming back. I have a solution to that though. Have your own adventure in the RP, and only have another character in your story or be involved in another character's story loosely. That way, if they decide to take a vacation, you can still continue your adventure unimpeded.

DUDE DONT JOIN IF YOu WONT BE ACTIVE. Its as simple as that. If you think you will be offline for more than a day or two then dont join an rp. Thats wrong

by **MarticaNarcassa** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 7:41 pm

Well everyone in the dothack gu rp pretty much ignored me entirly after the first 10 posts.
I forgive you ultimak because I never said anything.
I was two minutes away from leaving.
Thank you, you put it perfectly.
That or if you know your bored of it just tell me so I can alert the other people so we can try to figure you out.

by **True Grave** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 7:41 pm

That's my point exactly. There's nothing wrong with not being on. There might be a family emergency, or a scheduled vacation. That's fine. But if that happens, I would appreciate that person letting me know so I'm not left in suspense. Nothing stalls a fun and active RP like the disappearance of a key member. It seems funny, though, that every RP I join goes steady for a while, then just stalls out. I had to shut down my own topic because everyone else moved on to something else.

by **MarticaNarcassa** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 7:45 pm

Exactly! thank you people who understand me! Another thing.

Are some people on this site stalkers? I swear it just feels weird when people from one of my rps are reading a different one.

I was glad when Rumor Mill made it to the hot topic list.

Gaia it was never this easy to find rp-ers.

This site is full of good roleplayers. The board I was at before I came here was a chat room/battle board. Everyone battled each other to see who the best was. I was one of the best if not the best. This site is better than the old one though. If you're into RPing of any kind, you can find it here, and I like that. This place teaches you better techniques for crafting stories and winning battles, so it has much to offer.

People get into rps with potiential and try to be the main character ignoring the creator then they bail and completly ruin it
STOP DOING THAT

thank you =D

by **MarticaNarcassa** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 8:05 pm

When you assert yourself as the dominant rper when it's not your rp you might as well be an rp hog.
Another thing, if you are someone with a computer curfew less then two hours.
DON'T EVEN START RPING!

Rps are time consuming efforts not something you can neglect. For some people rping might as well be an addiction.
(I'm one of those people)

by **Zero-Genesis** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 8:14 pm

i agree and i am looking to join a rp with a lot of addicts in it lol

by **MarticaNarcassa** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 8:16 pm

Oh and you multitaskers....not involving my rps you agreed to yeah
MULTITASK ON YOUR OWN TIME! WHEN YOU LOG IN YOUR ON MY TIME!

thank you!!!!!!

Huzzah!!! I agree with you completely on this.

by **MarticaNarcassa** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 8:26 pm

Holy crap I flipped out I sw the green username and I thought "Omg I got flagged! What did I do?!!!!" Then I see "Keymaker."

what's a keymaker?

Anyone know the difference between an admin and a moderator?
Idk.

by **AnoÇieregi** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 9:20 pm

Maybe you should be more selective about who you roleplay with...

If your roleplay was run off with by the players - question yourself as to why it happened. Did you post frequently? Did you maintain the control that a good GM has? Were the players respectful of your position?

A lot of the more experienced roleplayers get annoyed with people who don't put in the effort, the description or the time that is necessary for a roleplay to happen.

Look for the kind of people who do put in the effort, who do take time to be descriptive and are active. The first thing to do is to join a few roleplays and look for decent people. You'll quickly sort the dedicated and interested people. Then, once you've found them, send the person a message and ask if they would be interested in joining a roleplay you've though of - or tell them you'd enjoy roleplaying with them and maybe, if they like you back, you can get a decent roleplay going.

The difference between Administrators and Moderators: Administrator is the highest rank on the site (besides Owner), and thus have authority over all other staff members. Additionally, Administrators have more tools at their disposal than Moderators. Think of Mods as the police and Admins as the FBI.

by **MarticaNarcassa** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 11:29 pm

ok another Q
Exactly what is a game master?

(thanks admins and mods confused me)

by **Blade_Dash** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 11:35 pm

A game master is someone who is a leader of an RP or has been in the past.

Also I totally agree with you on this I see it to often in other forums I visit.

by **Tarmo of the Dusk** on Sun Jun 29, 2008 12:14 am

Yes yes, I know I once joined a few Role Plays..

Then vanished for 5 months.

But it still annoys me >-<

by **Ghost_x1000** on Tue Jul 01, 2008 12:14 pm

Yeah, even thought I'm not one to talk ('cause I got sick and just disappeared), skipping out really does bug me. But the worst part of all is when the creator of the thread disappears, and then the next day you find them chatting away, just as happy as you please. I mean, COME ON! If you have joined a roleplay, and you're able to get on, even more so if you started the thing, go ahead and take the time to make up just a small post. It doesn't even have to be long, just enough to keep yourself from forgetting about the topic.

Well, that's my little stint of hypocrisy.
