BUT MY FIRST AND THIRD SAMPLES ARE ALWAYS MY STRONGEST PART OF THE APP

idk, you can feed back canon information without much trouble, but it takes a lot to write your own thing?

HOWEVER, EVERYTHING ELSE I AGREE WITH 100%

HAHA tbh, to me, you can't really gauge how good a person will play a character based on those, because majority of the roleplaying will be interactions via the network anyway? So I prefer taking on a more . . . interactive way of sample-apping. Interview style, or the sample app itself is modeled like an interview. :|b Better way to see if the person has grasp on the voice or not because you see their reactions to certain things.

ALSO, everyone can be good writers, but some people will suck at playing the character itself. I've seen it happen sob.

oh yeah, that does make sense :( interview would be more effective gauging a character's voice, though it's still good to show your writing skills?

but. maybe not two samples apps.

where did that trend come from anyway.

also: i pretty much prefer AU settings. stronger voices, stronger plot, stronger CR. everything else just bores me to death.

I sort of figure you can tell how good a person can write by the way they write the other sections of their apps? But I guess this depends on a person's preference, because mine is like AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T MAKE ME SLEEP, IT IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME LOL.

Also sob yeah, I know, AUs are amazing. :(

VERY TRUE. also when they specify that you MUST do your samples based off the game's setting, it's kind of annoying, because everyone's turns out the same-- AND I'M SO FUCKING SICK OF PEOPLE WHINING ABOUT OH MY GOD WHERE AM I?!

:( AU games are the only games i've ever really found myself getting invested in/attached to. ALSO I SAW YOU RESERVED AT DOOMCLOCK it looks like a fun premise. i hope it doesn't tank.

ARGH I HATE THAT, also this whole deal of "WHERE AM I?" thing, which is why I'm so against roleplays that take you somewhere new and just tell you to stay there sob.

Sometimes AUs make it harder for me to pay attention, but at the same time, it's where I've had the most fun. ALSO YES THAT PLACE LOOKS SO INSANELY GOOD I really love the idea of having a limited time to live (AND RAPE MAKES YOU LIVE LONGER!!!), so. DID YOU RESERVE?

EXACTLY. everyone's first post is always the freak out of WHERE AM I HELPPPP and then if you make it to your second or third post without dropping i am very surprised. games die out fast in those kinds of situations, idk.

YESSS I LOVE THE PREMISE (LMFAO RAPE) and yes i did reserve but. i keep changing who i want to app so I'M STILL THINKING. AAAAA are you going to app anyone else besides dino?

HAHA of course it gets boring. You've done it in x amount of games, how many other variations of I AM LOST PLZ HELP can you do anyway before it starts getting so old orz.

Uhhh, I'm not sure yet. I REALLY WANT someone evil, so probably Dietrich from Trinity Blood, but at the same time, Benten from Zone-00 is an easy muse for me. )8 So maybe him . . . WHAT ABOUT YOU?

yeah i'm trying to even out who i'm playing by choosing very different characters (obscure book character vs. kanda yuu HAHA), but i'm still.. mostly undecided on which i'll stick with. i want to play someone who comes the most naturally. :C

BUT I'M EXCITED TO SEE YOUR DINO AGAIN, IN SOME WAY!! and dietrich who i know nothing about although trinity blood has always looked interesting.
