Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

My Faith in the RP community has diminished all little bit. Why? Let me tell you the tale of a simple Roleplayer. He/She considered themselves to be decent, they knew they didn't have to be FANTASTIC Rpers but they gave a modest and honest to god effort. They double checked their spelling, wrote more than three lines per post. But... then they see the bad side of Roleplaying. Ladies and Gentlemen... this... is one of the biggest ways... NOT to make an RP.

Exhibit A

So at first you may think... so what's wrong with this? Just someone wanting to do a Sonic the Hedgehog RP. But this is the best example of how NOT to make your own RP thread. As in... don't repeat the same topic OVER AND OVER again. For this particular user, most if not all of her RPs are the same story...
And I Quote
"When someone from earth comes on Mobuis she is so capture by Eggman can she find Sonic and get her memories back and also save the world."

Aaand that is the sound of a millions aneurysms caused by that one sentence alone. Now this girl has done the same story line OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER! Now to her credit now and then she does add a couple sentences... and still manages to ******** it up. Also she doesn't put any rules and though I may sound like a fuddie duddie (did I just seriously say that?) but rules are needed to ensure that the RP environment is fair and so everyone can have fun.

Exhibit B
The posts. Good Lord the posts. Here's a fun drinking game! Grab your favorite bottled beverage but don't open it. Every time there's a post with more than two sentences then open up and take a swig. Your drink is guaranteed to be unopened and warmer than Satan's Butthole by the time you reach the last page.

Another odd note is to read the first page on the link from Exhibit A. Read down and you'll notice she switches from Sandy and her character Aurora... even though... their doing the exact same thing. It gets confusing.

Now this isn't one of her posts, but a post from another user named Acerninja
