New RP Policy [As of 2014]
Over the years, I had people quit on me for RP before it even began. Also, some characters in fantasy themes have their RP character too over powered(it sounds redundant, but I know what I'm talking about. If you don't think so, that is you/your character). When you have characters that exceed my mary-sue tolerance, I end up having to deal with characters that are overly confident/arrogant which makes the RP messy or boring, not mention irritating. I'm not able to cooperate the way that RP likes and they end quitting on me because they want their RP character to win overall. If that happens all the time or if it is ill timed, then there would be no story or the plot of the RP will be bad, crap even. For the most part, I am willing to persevere until the RP starts to grow really bad, but my partner quits before I do and their the ones that made it bad. You have to let your RP character taste defeat sometime or another and have them learn from it--it is called character development. One other definition of a bad RP is if their character goes into the psychic phase like they know it all better than the minor characters or my RP, for example, I text what my character is thinking and is planning to do, and they counter the situation as though they can read the minds of that character. They are not supposed to know what is going to happen, no one is that foresighted. Even worse, when characters engage in battle, another example is: the heroine dodges a fatal attack and hits the other character instead. That is a load of dung as far as bad RPs go.
Let us go back to where people drop the RP before it even starts. Some people cannot take it when I decided to RP semi-lit or literate. I can tolerate a one line paragraph to an extent. As I said before, I don't RP in a way that conforms to my partner in which the scenario in where their character is supposed to win and be involved in situations where they aren't even called for.
I am going to lay do some rules in my RP Policy.
1. Let me know if you are not going to send a PM(my most preferred way to RP) because you aren't going to be on for a while.
2. I range from semi-literate to literate. If you can't handle all the details, too bad.
3. For the love of role-playing, do not ask me to role-play only to stand me up after I start the RP.
4. I can tolerate mary/gary sues to an extent. Appearances that are idealistic are fine, but making your character have for too many valuable traits or being exceedingly over powered is rubbish.
5. Your character cannot be omnipotent, and must have limits, as well as some flaws.
6. Absolutely no God-modding.
7. Do not fret and vent your anger when I criticize you on how you design your character or your style of RP when I feel it is starting to become bad. It is not my fault you cannot handle criticism. I am not jealous of your character, I deliberately make my character somewhat inferior so there is room to develop into something great when the RP story line goes very far.
8. #7 was updated and more will be added if problems or anticipation of problems arise.
I give up on RPs, don't PM me no more for RP requests, I will not respond. |
