Know what is worse than app-everyone-itis? App-every-game-itis. 8( I've been kinda ignoring Zenithia and SBG, but I'm still looking at Aris' poglemens game and also there's Harpy and Feffers to put in thewake_rp and I kinda wanna app absolute_hold because I'm a gaymo who absolutely loves innerdiscofrog but hurr maybe I should make sure I can actually play Chie decently before I

I just get nervous tagging anyone in Luceti, haha. I like the comfort of smaller games where I'm part of the community if only because I... have a place in them. I'll always be the person who played Rawk Hawk at SBG, but if I dropped Luceti tomorrow, no one outside the cast would really be affected. Yuzu's mun really worries me too because she drops our threads a lot and I have no way of knowing if it's because I'm doing it wrong or because she forgets or what. Playing from games that don't have scripts is the bane of my existence. But I'm having fun tagging around so whatever. Let me know if a full translation pops up somewhere! I could definitely use some Atsuro dialogue that I don't have to fire up the game or Youtube for

As weird as it sounds, tagging strangers who don't know the canon at all is so much easier for me than tagging castmates. It is kind of hard to get to know the people in Luceti, though. I tried visiting the OOC chat and it had three people in it, wtf.

It'll probably take a while for all that stuff to get translated, if it does get translated at all, but I'll keep my eyes open for you. Either way, I'm glad you're liking Nancy so far.

Dude, I don't even know what you're planning there. I'm holding off on proposing an official "Dr. Gig had other plans to take over this bitch" plot just in case it gets in the way/steps on toes, though, because I know it's gonna be awesome.

I went there and it only had one, which makes me kinda sad because most people seem to know each other well enough. It would be totally awkward if I IMed people too, since I can't hold a conversation to save my life. Oh well, I'll always have you.

Well, they should have a badass godlike person fight at some point. With explosions and uwee hee hees and shits.

[snaps_ass]

Yeah, I've spoken to all my castmates at least once OOC, but I'm terrible at paying attention to one-on-on IMs. 8( Internet why are you so full of distractions.

It'll be the match of the century. They can sell novelty t-shirts and stuff. "I tried to beat up my boss and all I got was this lousy t-shirt," etc.

Fff so I'm not the only one. I'm having a bad case of app-every-game-itis, too, COUPLED with app-everyone-itis at the moment. 8( And it feels weird expanding to places outside of SBG all of a sudden. It's nice to expand, don't get me wrong, but still weird.

Good luck on your decisions. If you have to drop any dudes, we'll understand, or at least I will.

[snaps_ass]

It's a little scary to try and step into a new RP, just because it's more or less a group that's already close-knit and you're a stranger at first. I've been a little spoiled, though, in that I've had friends in every place I've apped on Livejournal.

Thanks, Essay. :)

It's not really weird in that way for me anymore (but that's because all RPs I go to have people I recognize lol), but it's more of less me being all 'I didn't think I'd wanna join RPs other than SBG, this is weird'.

No problem!

[snaps_ass]

Ohhh. Yeah, SBG is a great place. I've always been the type who needs something new every so often, though, so I never seem to be able to resist trying out other places.

Brainstorming, you say...?

Modchates sound like a very excellent suggestion, Kat. Let's do this.

I guess I am a pretty casual rper in that I don't mind the lack of premise. But! What we need is some kind of evolving epic plot that will shake the very foundations of the world. And not have it ever truly go back to normal. Sorry, Aparoids.

[snaps_ass]

I guess it's really just a matter of preference. Some people like no-stress, no-though, lighthearted pretendy funtimes. And heck, it's Pokeymans and Mario and stuff. Not really the most serious base material out there. It's just that I have problems because it's not my personal style. I like my RPing to be more Quest for Glory than The Sims, if that makes sense. I get bored pretending to do things that I could just as easily do in real life -- it's a lot more fun to actually go hang out than it is to write about hanging out.

And I agree that the OOC element is important in a game. It's what made me wanna be a mod, and it's probably the biggest reason I've stuck around for so long. It's that much harder for me to stay interested in a community when I don't actually get to know the people in it.

When I started Diamond City, I panicked a lot after a few weeks because that place didn't seem to have a moving premise NOR a plot. Then someone came up to me with the idea of apping a villain and asked me in a way, "Hey if I app this guy can I actually be a villain and do villainy stuff?" and I said "Knock yourself out!" and now we have some nice middle ground between plot and premise that we're still working on. Since a lot of early folk moved from SBG, a major problem was being too accustomed to domesticating everyone to fit in the school AU. Not that it's technically a bad thing. I'm still working to improve Leon at DCS, but I also still miss playing the bubbleheaded med-filled looney at SBG, hence why I'm still trying to go back to that game.

But the world outside SBG... it's just more massive than could be described.

You make me want to lurk plot-heavy games for inspiration. Thanks!

LJRP in general is kind of weird to me. I come from a background where the basic idea is "Roleplaying is telling a story, meaning it has rising action, a climax, and an ending. Also original characters are the WAY TO GO MAN playing existing characters means you're lazy and uncreative." Then I come to LJ and it's like "NO. RPing is like having a Second Life account, but with less furries. Also nobody cares about your crappy OC sues get them away from our game."
