Characters' names have been replaced with those of My Little Pony dolls. If you don't think it's ghastly enough for me, then go ahead and pretend they're named after serial killers or something.

So you think I'm really good at playing Lickety-Split, and want me to join your game? Wow, that's really neat, I'd love a chance to play with you. Despite being one of the cursed undead, I am an easily-flattered soul, and you seem like a really creative and entertaining player. Even though Sundance is a minor character and never met Lickey-Split or Cherries Jubilee canonly, you've fleshed her out and made her interesting. I like people who can do that.

Waaaait a second, you seem to really dislike Lickety-Split. After two seconds of skimming your posts, I discover that you think of her as a shallow, manipulative shrew, and are convinced that her potential love interest who she cares deeply for, Cherries Jubilee, hates her and is way too good for her.

It's a little off-putting, but I don't think much of it (particularly since I have no interest in pursuing pairings in this game) and continue playing with you guys. I mean, I am having fun. It seems dumb to get offended over differing opinions. Turns out you're also obsessed with the crack pairing of Sundance/Cherries Jubilee. It is kinda weird, due to the fact that Sundance is still a young child and Cherries Jubilee, uh, isn't, but whatever, each to their own, man.

Waitasecond, why is it that every time we play you intentionally try to twist the situation into a way Sundance can compete with Lickety-Split? Additionally, you seem 100% convinced that Sundance would always win, despite the fact that Lickety-Split is an incredibly experienced in their canon skill while Sundance is a young and childish novice. It's weird, because this sense of competition extends to absolutely everything I RP with you. If Lickety-Split wants to go out for ice cream with their friends, Sundance already bought them all the ice cream in the world. If Lickety-Split has a cat, Sundance has a pet golden tiger named Princess Sparkledust who can grant wishes and fly. If Lickety-Split decides to help grandma carry her groceries, Sundance can teleport the groceries with her mind, and has also made grandma a new tea cosy. If Lickety-Split makes an impactful statement during a tense moment, Sundance immediately drops to her knees screaming and sobbing the exact same sentiment Lickety-Split just said but in an overblown way, to ensure that absolutely no one reacts to Lickety-Split. It's not even like you're acknowledging it in a "Sundance is protective of the guy she likes and wants to outdo Lickety-Split" way, you seem to genuinely want to portray to the rest of the game that Sundance is just a superior person. I literally cannot do a scene with you without you trying to twist the scenario into a new opportunity for Sundance to show off and, notably, you don't do this with ANY other players besides me, all of which are your good friends who play characters you adore to pieces. It doesn't help that all the great plots you told me you wanted to get Lickety-Split involved in are turning out to be "Lickety-Split gets to react to Sundance's epic quests of amazing".

Okay, now it is really difficult for me to pretend this is all just a coinci-
OH COME ON. Now you want us to play a "just for fun, future alternate universe oneshot" where Lickety-Split finds out that Cherries Jubilee and the now-drop-dead-sexy-and-totally-grown-up-sex-kitten Sundance are sleeping together, and Lickety-Split gets totes heartbroken and Sundance uses her outstanding wit and kung-fu to pwn her just 'cause she can? Seriously?

I don't even know what to say. Did you seriously invite me to your game and pretend you want to RP with me just to fulfill some elaborate fantasy where your pet character gets to pwn your least favorite and steal the object of their affection? WTF.

Even now this is difficult for me to comprehend. It just seems too bizarre and petty. For the evil dead, I apparently have a disproportionately large faith in humanity. A pox on you, and all your houses! I will be taking my ponies elsewhere.

Yes I do Erotic Roleplay with this friend.
Yes, I plan on having him come out and hang out at our place for a week.
No I am not going to sleep with him. No, my boyfriend does not suspect I plan on sleeping with him. Yes, my boyfriend does know that I've been writing erotica with him.

RP=/=RL and I have better morals than that. *fume*

Protip! When trying to convince me to do a certain idea with you that I find rather stereotypical and stupid, the argument "But I did it with someone else and it was GREAT!" doesn't help much. Nor does starting any of your sentences with "I'll be the bigger person."
Just sayin'.



Edited for weird HTML.

Uh, mods. Ever go to a sandwich shop in the hope that you'll be sold on some used car parts?

... No?

Cuz I don't think people looking for the advertised "advanced" play opps are gonna be pumped about a legion of RP n00bz on the roster.

Is it an unwritten rule that once "advanced" RP gets slapped on any game, it's a time bomb?

Okay, so I put up a character ad for my character's ex. He's basically so obsessed with this girl that he follows her around, calls her phone, and is an all around creeper. You say you're interested, I say 'hey awesome, I can't wait to see what you do with him!'

...And then I get this PM:

( Are you that lazy? )

Dear you two,

( Gonna play Captain Obvious here. )

No love,
Me.

Considering the fact that you've been dropping heavy-handed hints both IC and OOC since this story's conception, why are you getting offended that neither my character nor I were particularly caught off guard when your girl finally came out and blatantly stated that she's a prostitute?

When your character's first introduction to mine was to blurt out "Oops, sorry, I thought you were a client--I mean, friend," while wearing a completely slutty get-up in the AMs on a barren, industrial road, how stupid do you think my character would have to be to not immediately catch on? e.e

PS: Being a prostitute in a post-apocalyptic world isn't quite as taboo as you seem to think it is. With the entire world in shambles and many groups of people struggling to just barely survive, there isn't much of an oppressive government around to make rules against having sex for money.

The hubby found this. Cracked me *up*

Always on the lookout for compelling images, we were delighted to discover this flourishing community of artists who share a love of nature. Honoring the subject with photographs, paintings, sketches, prose, poetry, and other creative works, you'll be simultaneously riveted to your monitor and inspired to run helter skelter towards the nearest wooded dale.

So I was in Kenya for work purposes. Long story, and that's beside the point anyway. The point is, maybe I'd been away from the game a bit too long, because in the middle of one of the marketplaces, I make a sinister discovery...

( Some archvillain's got a lot of 'splainin to do... )

'Scuse the letter-ish format.

I'm a little flattered, I guess, that a few players and their characters seem to have taken a sudden interest to my large (about 6'5", 230 lbs), boisterous female bruiser who likes to fight hard and drink harder, but there's just one tiny but:

( DO NOT WANT. )

Annoyed,
me

tl;dr: No means no, leave my character out of your romancing attempts and target someone willing please.

...all righty then...

So we have a small player base, and you, oh DM, have been complaining about the lack of players, how there's no one new to play with, why don't we have more players, yadda yadda yadda...

Le gasp! Let there be new players!

Now, with these shining newbies in our presence, YOU ignore all requests for DM help. *eyebrow lift* Wtf?! And you, who were so pointed in making sure I didn't get any DM position when I volunteered to act as one to run events for the other DMs who get tired of taking up all the slack- namely one poor DM who does ALL the events by herself- just sit there IC and sulk when you're asked to log on with your DM sign-in and help.

...all right, did I miss something here? Since when did complaining about your DM duties indicate good things to the new players we're trying to KEEP here? *facedesk*

Incidentally, getting into a verbal bitch fight with another DM- one who logged in when I asked him to specifically to help the poor newbie who was figuring out how things work on our server- while he's trying to help the newbs? NOT HELPING.

If you're going to complain that no one wants to play with you- is it scary this is the same player that I've mentioned in the first couple of posts I put up? And that he's a DM? Seriously... Be afraid.- and that there's never anyone new on the server, -don't scare away the new people who come in!!!!!!!!!!-

First time rant, and sloppy because I'm not raging, just...twitching and irritated.

Yes, my Joshua is gay. No, he will not have sex with your character. No, he does not fuck everything in sight in the canon series.

NO, it is not OOC for him to refuse to fuck your character immediately after meeting him. My Joshua is touch-phobic. He cracks the jokes, but will not be okay with touching right away. He doesn't even let Neku touch him. We are not in a comm together, we are not good friends, I told you know, Joshua told HIM no, so just...STOP IT.

And by the way? Greeting me when I get online with "____ smirks and reaches out to grope Yoshiya's ass" is fucking creepy. I don't like you. At all. If you're going to greet me AT ALL, greet ME, don't try and rape my character.

Speaking of the rape thing? Joshua can blow your character up in a millisecond. Your character is NOT stronger, NOT smarter, NOT faster, he is just a horny gay boy who is a little bigger than Joshua. Rape? No. It's not even possible, let alone wanted.

If I see you reserve at my comm, I am telling our mods. Because that is just not okay.

Side Note: This post is unrelated to a community on LJ. It started with IC_Secrets, but turned into bad news in private messages.

Please don't start inserting all this whitewolf in our 4th ed D&D campaign! Tzimice and black spiral dancers? Not as special when one of the party members is an undead drow sumonner with a psychic link to his twin sister, and another one was a human sorcerer who basically turned himself into a dragonborn through alchemy and sets himself on fire as a valid combat technique... (yes, our evil team is made of freaks... to be fair, this is my first non-standard character)

I didn't sign up to play V:TM! Besides, three out of four players at least know way too much about the whitewolf games. I know you really like them, but I overdosed on that stuff ages ago and the mention of vampires still make me itch.

plz to be keeping ur Tzimice and BSDs out of D&D?

This is just really really irritating me right now. In the game I'm in you are required to run player run plot events through the mods first. This I have no problem with, it makes it so not too many things happen all at once, or cause problems with each other. But, this method only works if the mods actually communicate with the players about their plots.

I submitted my request somewhere between three and four months ago, contacted a mod about it, revised it and... still waiting for a response. First time I contacted them they said I would have to wait for things to settle down, that's fine, I can wait. I'm not super impatient, but... at this point it would be nice to get a yes or a no by now. If it's something they don't want to go for, I'm all fine with nixing it, or changing it, but having it out right ignored is really aggravating. Especially since not long ago it was mentioned people were not requesting plots.

Is it really that hard to reply to something with a "yes go for it" or a "no, we don't like where this is going"?

See you there!

Letter format, I guess? Very much YMMV, no offense intended to those who practice these beliefs respectfully and respect the beliefs of others.


Dear you and you and you....

I understand that furry stuff is fun for you. I get that you prefer to roleplay animals and anthros. I will accept that your spiritual beliefs are just as valid as any other belief system...usually. I acknowledge the existence of spiritual therianthropy, and understand that for some people, being human really DOESN'T make sense, and so you turn to an animal form. And I'm all right with that. But there are things that really have to stop.

YOU: I understand that you think you have the soul of an animal, and that you think that people telling you this is impossible are out to get you. That doesn't mean you need to make an entire canon based around how HORRIBLE humans are, and how everyone pursecutes the darling animals and their furry lifemates. It doesn't mean you should, by stating that all humans are evil and those who aren't have the soul of an animal, force people to have to play furries so their character is not looked down on. At the moment, I'm playing an evil furry and a good human...we'll see how long it lasts before I start getting shit. I'm imagining not long.

YOU...are more of an OOC issue than an IC issue, but since you're obnoxious all round, I'ma say it anyway: Just....shut up. Your spirituality is your business. I'm glad you're proud of yourself, but please...just stop. I am tired of hearing about your newest discovery in whatever LOLSPESHUL form your "soul" is taking this week. And stop using some random furry art site as your be-all and end-all explanation of what animal totems represent. That's not how it works at all.

YOU: For fuck's sake. Please, stop taking a book that I loved in high school (and still love) and turning it into some weird furry fantasy. The concepts laid down by Philip Pullman are NOT meant to represent therianthropy. You might have missed the point, but in Lyra's Oxford, EVERYONE had a daemon. Not just the LOLSUPARSPSESHUL furries. So why your His Dark Materials RP canon consists of only the SPECIAL who go through some sort of trauma getting a daemon....I don't understand. And please stop claiming that you have a daemon. If you are seeing an animal follow you around and talk to you...there might be some problems here. Thanks for taking a canon I desperately wanted to roleplay in and RUINING it.

I think I might have to start my own now, just to counteract the MASSIVE SUCK that you're putting out.

Goddammit, guys,
