Fellow Roleplayers,

[kleine_aster]

Does it happen to you a lot too that you get an idea for a character to play, get all excited ... and then kinda lose your steam when ALL 8 CLEVER USERNAMES YOU MADE UP are taken/purged/deleted in all possible combinations?

Also, posting from the kitchen now because ... for some confusing reason, that's the only room where the laptop DOESN'T self-

I gave up the thought of RPing Noah Bennet for this exact reason XD

[kleine_aster]

For shame. XD Seriously, you like him so much, you'd be a great Noah. But it makes me feel much less alone.

[kyriesanctus]

YES.

Night before last I spent about an hour trying to come up with usernames for Selphie Tilmitt, Summoner Yuna and FFX-2 Yuna.

sending, sendings, summonings, summoning, faythful, faythfully, and faythed were all taken. :| So I gave up.

But I just stewed on it for a while, and then- sinfreeworld and tiny_bees are open so I might snag one of those for Yuna... And traincraze is open for Selphie. XD

What character were you needing a username for-?

[kleine_aster]

THANK YOU. /swaps tales of woe

Those are some sweet usernames! It can kinda leave you speechless how even the trickiest variations can be something somebody else already thought of. D: BUT DON'T CURSE IT NOW, GRAB THOSE FREE NAMES BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE DOES.

I'm also not one of these people who can insert some placeholder like 'x' or '0' somewhere only to get a name. That just looks silly.

I wanted to make a journal for creepy Older!Near from the One Shot for fun, because I re-read that yesterday and noticed I've never seen him played. I came up with a series of lulzy names but all of them were taken, ironically none of them in relation to DN. XD

[kyriesanctus]

Yeah, I'm about to..! tiny_bees especially. I'm honestly shocked that one isn't taken.

God, no, I can't do placeholder stuff either. I try with and without underscores, and maybe if there is a different spelling of something.. But. I could never do x, 0, or... IDK, stuff that doesn't fit the character. (Like, I almost used l33t for Matt once because it would it him, but auto_matt_ic with those spacings was free whereas automattic was taken, so I refrained. XD)

c_is_for_cheap? XD

[kurosaki_akane]

auto_matt_ic is suitable for your Matt for several reasons (hint hint the ic part hint hint)

[xizarx]

I've just rp'ed on LJ...well, close to nothing ^^U but it happened to me and it was JHLJAGDLJHGDL my poor brain lacks imagination and the good ones are always taken XD

[kleine_aster]

Oh, do you roleplay somewhere else? Like in chats or forums or something? =)

I know - I struggle a lot with good names, too. That's why it's DOUBLY frustrating once you come up with a good one and it's taken. XD

[xizarx]

I used to rp via messenger,privately, that's what I'm most used to (coward?who? <.<)
I also played in a forum with two friends, but that was along ago, and before I started liking DN, I played in Spanish forums sometimes. But you dodn't need that kind of nicknames or special accounts to do it.

Yeah. It makes me wonder how many people are rp'ing on LJ?? O_O

[kleine_aster]

I don't that's cowardly. 99% of roleplay I'm doing right now is private, and why the hell not. XD And yes, that whole username thing was new for me too. I played in a German forum before.

THOUSANDS, Silvia. Thousands. Seriously. We're legion. XD

[kleine_aster]

DOESN'T IT. ): Who are those mofos and why to they take our usernames dammit

[mugenshi]

it makes me more annoyed when the person who has taken the name, hasn't updated their journal since 2006 salskdjfha

[kleine_aster]

I know, that happens to me too. XD It makes you kinda want to write a PM 'hey you, you're completely inactive now give me your journal!' XD But that would be ... impolite. And kinda insane. XD

[yandered]

UGH IT WAS SO HARD FINDING A NAME FOR MY MELLO JOURNAL HOLY SHIT GJLSDJGLKSDJGLS

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN. I HATE IT SO MUCH.

[kleine_aster]

I know, man. Share the pain! And oh, what name did you end up taking? Dish!

YOUR ICON IS SO LOL.

[yandered]

jdlasjlda I wanted to punch babies.

accompliced. Idek hahaha Pana's was unaccompliced and I'm retarded and love matching usernames.
