Ugh.... RPs

[grifstar]

Wow, this post is turning out longer than I thought.


I.... I really don't want to but.... I'm pretty much ready to give up.

I've had it. I'm tired being the whiny/naggy bitch for Eclipse. Obiviously I can complain all I want and it's not going to change a single thing. All it turns into is a battle of "Why the hell and I doing this and why do I even keep trying?"

... And nothing quite bothers me more than convincing people to join, ONLY to have them sign up for 3 other places just days later. And then try to act as though they're still with me, but are basically giving off the body language of "I don't have time to play here, and it's pretty obivious that I never wanted to actually play here in the first place if I'm now all these other games now, can you drop me?"

Really, nothing really pisses me off anymore than that. And that's basically how everyone treated me for Spectral, and that's also how everyone me at Eclipse now too. And I'm sick and fucking tired of dealing with it. If your never were going to be very commitment, then why the heck do you apply? If your going to join a new RP, would it hurt to be the LEAST bit helpful/active/support? Don't just crap out halfway, ESPECALLY when the person running it is friend-oriented. That's just plain rude is what it is, honestly.

And even GIVE ME the whole inactivity bullshit as an excuse to not do anything. I spend probably 85% of my time on that damn site trying to fight with everyone else to response. I don't like having to battle with 4 people/10 or so characters.



At this point, I really don't WANT to try running another RP if all everyone is going to do is treat me like shit and just simply "not care". I also don't generally like joining other RPs because:

1. DRAMA. WANK. STUPID PEOPLE.
2. I don't really like RPing on LJ(I perferr IJ overall. Icon whore is whoring)
3. Generally the characters I play are ALWAYS taken. And usually being the only person from one series isn't quite as fun as when there's at least someone else with you.
4. I just don't like instantly jumping into RPs that have been running for a very long time
5. Most places I go to die out within the first month anyway.

And there also too many single-series RPs I would LOVE to do (WA3, Nippon Ichi, possibly FMA again, etc), MAYBE some OC-based ones if I'm lucky enough. But a multifan is pretty much the only way to solve that... ._.;


Grif misses the old days when Grif was within 2 really kickass RPs side by side, and was pretty much the best days of Grif's life ;__;

I have the problem of being active if no one else is. I have a really hard time enjoying what I'm doing if it's only one other person that talks to me (hence why I dropped out of appledcore recently.

I'm pissed off right now, too. Someone stole my whole concept and even the profile layout and just tweaked words and put it on Mars and claimed it was based off a different series the fuckers.

But yeah. If you really want to RP on IJ a) avoid netherworld (they're the fuckers that stole from me) and b) go to inmidian. I run it and it's relatively busy. However, the only other WA rper (elmina, not harken) is someone who almost exclusively rps with her friend and no one else so don't expect anything from them. :/

[grifstar.livejournal.com]

Yikes, sorry to hear about the someone stealing your idea.. That's awful~ D:

I don't really mind being LJ, it's more like I rather be on IJ if I had a choice. Although someone just hooked me up on a REALLY interesting RP for LJ that I'm tempted to try~ =O


Doing an WA one would be cool though~ D:

[fufuberrysoda.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. She was a former member. She quit more recently before starting it up. She quit like, right after I made the codes for the profile public so people could help spam the ads.

Right now I'm currently obsessed with hotel_secrets and theworldrp. aldkfjas everyone at both are so nice. |D And the world? I DON'T EVEN LIKE DEATH NOTE. *A*

Yeah. But then the Elmina player would show up. I dun like her. -A-

[grifstar.livejournal.com]

Awwww ;__;


The place I'm looking at right now is edensphere, just did reservations too. Looks heck of interesting and kinda reminds me of an RP I was doing awhile ago... only sadly better XD

[suffuses.livejournal.com]

Yeah. :/

Oh lawd. I see a lot of annoying people there. Laura is okay sometimes, but other times I can't stand her. Carolyn is the most annoying person ever. Person who keeps IMing and I don't really know them and keeps sending me picutres of her cats and is constantly causing drama at my RP (as well as has been the cause of several people dropping?). Yeah. That would be Carolyn. I see a few more people I can't stand, too. >_>

[grifstar.livejournal.com]

Uh oh, that's probably not a good sign then.. Well, I'll give it a try at least, it's been awhile since I've done another RP. I know what it's like to make enemies though in those things... Been there, done that, was NOT fun. Although I haven't seen them in ages.

If I dun like it I can just leave if nothing else.. I don't wanna try doing any other RPs myself at the moment unless I can get a COOPERATIVE staff going together. It's just suicide doing it myself -.-;

I don't really have anything against small RPsand all, it's just when no one does their part... In fact I like small groups because then you kinda become like a family almost, yanno? ._.;

[suffuses.livejournal.com]

Mm. The story reminds me a lot of memento_eden. Even with Eden in it's title. Except Memento Eden has a far better premise and is v. organised. |D But the application is pretty long and they have pretty high standards so it's pretty unlikely we'd have douchebags there.

I agree. That's why I love Midian. Even players that just join are happy there. It's my baby. *A*

[grifstar.livejournal.com]

*snerk* A friend of mine runs Memento XD;;


Hmmm... Can I gets a link for Midian? I'm curious~ =3

[suffuses.livejournal.com]

They're ace, then. :Db I recently was forced joined as Cloud.

http://www.insanejournal.com/~inmidian

We have like... a ridiculous amount of CLAMP characters. As you may see, we don't have a ton of characters but we still have a lot. You'll notice it's basically maybe seven players, though. We're all super-nice and love each other. ;A; It was originally an invite-only community but like... a few weeks ago we decided to just let loose and let anyone join~

[grifstar.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhh... I think I have seen this RP before. I was kinda thinking about joining, but it kinda felt a little too morbid/dark for my tastes.

... Unless it's not nearly as bad as it sounds XD;

[suffuses.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

Please look at the third post down on the main community. We allow both third person and *asterisk* rp. That was an asterisk style. IT WAS MADE OF GREAT LULZ.

Seriously. You have no idea how many posts I've done with sparkles there. >_>

[grifstar.livejournal.com]

Oh ho~?


MAYBE I SHOULD TRY MAKING MYSELF AT HOME THERE THEN &hearts

[fufuberrysoda.livejournal.com]

It's lulzy really. ._. I've been IC arguing with the Kurogane as Fye for like, a week. And all it's been is "YES!" and "NO!" back and forth. It's hilarious x3

...but then again, that's what we always do. Well. And this. *Points to icon*

[grifstar.livejournal.com]

XD sounds epic


Ne, is there anything against using journals that are kind-of/sort-of in another RP? Because I'm probably gonna be moving most of my Eclipse charries there, and I don't really want to remake them

... Jet possibly being one of them >D

[fufuberrysoda.livejournal.com]

Reusing journals is fine, but I ask that it's only used for one RP at a time.

[obsessed-love.livejournal.com]

Aw you poor thing D= *hugs* Did you try running one by yourself? DX I tried that and blaaah, didn't work, but since it was a small rp it wasn't too bad, just no one was active after a few months. It really sucks though, rping should be fun! D= And not cause all this wank, but instead people suck and make it stressing. )=

Everything you just listed is why I don't rp on LJ anymore. And everything is a multifandom huuuuuge rp nowadays, which makes me want to facepalm and hide. D8

*wants more rps... better rps... without drama*

[grifstar.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. Worse case senario... well, I do want to keep some of the stuff I have on it. I'll just tag it seprately from Midian to prevent confusion. And really there's only ONE journal I imagine I'll have that issue with.... I just LOVE the name I got so much that I don't want to have to get him a second one D:

And also I dunno what I'm going to do with Eclipse just yet. Although really the only "plotline" I had going there can easily turn into a private RP. So maybe I can transition to Midian using the other journals without any problem at all.

[crimsonspiral.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I feel like an ass now. >.<
It must be so stressful for you to try to run something when all kinds of stuff goes wrong with it.
I also feel horrible for neglecting Road, but stuff started getting in the way.
Poor grif. >.

[grifstar.livejournal.com]

*HUGGLES BACK*

Yeah, it should be. Hence why I'm getting sick of doing I have been doing for the last couple months. It's just not being worth it anymore.. D:

Really, I only like RPing at IJ more is for the extra icons. 100 so beats 15. 15 isn't enough for me anyway if I'm playing a really expressional character, and it's annoying having to swap icons in and out. Also there's more names to choose from.

If it's a big RP, there's likely to be all kinds of drama around. And people just... hanging out in their own little circle of characters. I don't like going to RPs with lots of history in them anyway because at that point you missed out on so much stuff and just be a "wtf just happened?" trip =/


And yeah, having an RP that's based on only one series is nice to have every once in awhile. And those are generally even worsely made(Since only luck finding those would be places like Gaia and..... oh gawd x____x).

[grifstar.livejournal.com]

Well.... Dun feel "too" bad, pretty much everyone did it.

So it's not like you're alone...

[crimsonspiral.livejournal.com]

That's really sad, I'm sorry...it was still a horrible thing to do, and even worse because other people did it as well.

[grifstar.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah... I know ._.


*seems to always get bad stuff*

[crimsonspiral.livejournal.com]

Aww, but we all love you! *hugs*

I'm sure they didn't all leave because of you...you seem like a really good person. I'm sure their lives just started getting in the way or they were too busy with other things.

[icarused.livejournal.com]

I know this is also directed at me. Riku... well, I would have really liked to play him again, but that muse did actually die out on me. I was hoping to have revived him, but he's a gone muse. Ansem is teetering around as well.

I have to admit I have a really hard time staying active in smaller RPs, which I guess goes both ways since if I don't stay active, then nothing happens. It's a bad loop.

I am sorry because I realize that's pretty rude and crummy of me to do that.

[arivess.livejournal.com]

*patpatpats* D: Starting is really hard. The new one I'm trying to start still keeps dying out, even though I had a million people interested.

I'd offer mine, but someone there already commented, and it's on LJ anyway.

G'luck searching!

[grifstar.livejournal.com]

Well okay, I did cut slack for most of them since some were just no time. And that is understandable.

However, there's also some that I see on practically on a day to day basis that would just..... Do nothing .___.

[grifstar.livejournal.com]

Yeah well... there not really much to do anymore, since everyone killed it now -.-

[grifstar.livejournal.com]

Don't get me wrong, I did want to join Memento when it first openned... But I'm pretty sure I've told you before, I really wanted to play Al. Becuase at the time he was my main character(he still is, but I've branched out more). And he was taken. Then later when I wanted Lavi--taken, I find some other new muse and--oh wait taken. X____x


I have terrible luck

[arivess.livejournal.com]

I know. *pats*

Anyway, good luck. I'm sure you'll find one with the characters you want free that's just right for you.

[crimsonspiral.livejournal.com]

Ugh like me, right?
It wasn't that I was busy so much, because I had plenty of free time...I just couldn't get past certain creative roadblocks. Pretty much anything that requires creativity has been suffering...but usually I don't have anybody that cares either way. I'm sorry that it contributed to making stuff suck for you.
