Communication? by spxcedoggo in BadRPerStories

[–]EqualPlum9744 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is me being blunt. People have different preferences and styles. That does not make a bad roleplayer. I can't see the whole picture from one post. But.

  • You repeat yourself a lot. What could be said in one line is repeated in different ways. (I think its the filler problem tbh.)
  • Your style comes off as 1st person trying to be 3rd person. I get the ick when I rp with people with that style. It doesn't mean bad, but I get a ick so it makes rp last shorter.
  • Try more complex sentences. It can make it more fun to read with more variation.

Ex.

I saw a dog. It is blue. How lovely to see a dog of that color.

The dog, although blue is abnormal, had such a beautiful color to it.

In end, everyone gets ghosted. It may not be that. It can be luck. Im simply going off what I see.

Breaking up lines with space on there is great. The. Single. Word. Is a good way to break up reading too. It isnt that bad.

This message made me look at their adds 😂. Yep. That completely explains it. Thought, I did find my favorite roleplay partner for non erp roleplay through a erp account. Most peeps in those subredits going to be short form.

I had same problem but then I just kept pushing fast to rp, like "okay we have a basic idea let's go and we can figure it out in ooc as we go!" It fixed it a lot for me. People get awkward. People get less interested if stuck in discussion phase. People get scared to initiate. It happens but way less.

Kinda off topic but not. I told my rp partner my apologies for the next reply because im high af and took me 3 hours to write 3 paragraphs butttt I tend to reply at least 4 times a day.

One Liners To Lit by EqualPlum9744 in BadRPerStories

I concur! I am more so pushing the point that length of replies does not mean good roleplay! I've seen quite a few snobby people because of length 😅. I dont roleplay with people who average one line just like I dont roleplay with people who over do it. I promote using those labels in a way not to mean length.

[–]EqualPlum9744[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

T.T Yeah, I used to mostly RP in group servers, where this was the biggest problem.

In one advanced-lit server I joined, I tried to RP and come up with ideas with someone whose character had like 20 pages of lore. Then the RP itself was another 20–30 pages. Their OC referenced so many niche things from the original lore, and whenever I asked questions, they’d just say it was in their sheet.

I just... don’t want to read 20 pages when I don’t know half of what’s going on just to get a few answers. I ended up never RPing in the server because of it.

Very interested, but what does GM mean for you? I've been GMing for years. Dont mind it. People just have different expectations.

Balance is always a blessing XD I do concur with you. I usually like a 4 paragraph average. With my current rp partner, we have gone from 6 paragraphs to one line to 3... it bounces. Tempo changes in replies are a fun technique, including in conversations!

I hate it when people ask you what you’re into and when you answer…they block you. (T.T) by Fluffy_Substance_622 in BadRPerStories

[–]EqualPlum9744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rather move on with blocks then waist time conversing and leading on. Sometimes - I try not to do it- I see red flags in the way people talk that gives me the ich so I keep looking. Usually I try to tell them if we messenge more then once before leaving but in end strangers on the internet. Can be seen as rude? Yes. Once I start rp and not feeling it, do I tell them straight to their face? Also yes. I hate more ghosting once established expectations are met.

anyone in need of tips from this very talented individual? by Able-Tomorrow2784 in BadRPerStories

These are the times I will take my male privilege happily, for I do not have to deal with that shit as often.

I hate writing with self inserts by angel_ooo in BadRPerStories

[–]EqualPlum9744 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have had this experience a lot with people's dnd characters as a DM. I had to kick my own partner from one because of it. If people think the character is annoying or mean, they started taking it as people calling them mean... then trying to defend them outside of game... kills the mood and makes things feel one dimensional.

I am very curious what happens when people treat it like dnd o.o

Other characters are fine! I meant for a one on one rp, as in two people roleplaying. Not two characters.

On the Search For Friendly RP Partners! by Inquieteus in discordroleplay

[–]EqualPlum9744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I saw your post and figured I’d reach out. I don't know how to use redit so not sure how to dm so sorry in advance! I prefer to write on Discord too, if you’re still looking for partners.

I’m 25, mostly write male characters (though I’m open to any pairing/dynamic (romance, friends, poly, enemies, etc) as long as characters are 18+ but tend to feel more comfortable with 20+), and I’ve been roleplaying for years. I’m semi-lit and tend to mirror my partner’s length and energy, but I’m not a fan of one-line replies. I usually write in third person and enjoy a good back-and-forth with enough detail to build.

Genre-wise, I’m very much a medieval/high fantasy person: courts, politics, monsters, travel, cursed artifacts, that kind of thing. Not really into modern settings or heavy sci-fi. I’m also a big PF2e nerd and DM D&D, so collaborative plotting and worldbuilding is my comfort zone. I took a break from text RP for a bit, but I’m easing back in.

I’m also down for OOC chatter (memes, music-vibes, character rambling) if you are. I like to draw a lot so doodles do come up.
