bless you, bad_rpers_suck
tenchichan wants to know why nobody wants to join his new game.

More specifically, I am mad at the entire collective of online roleplayers and this is going to come off as being whiny, but I don't care really. He's decided that it's because everbody is off in fandom, in Shitty AIM chatrooms playing out Harry Potter yaoi fantasies.

Despite this perhaps not promising start, people give various suggestions for places to look for players/reasons they might not be getting applications.

Then the co-mod jumps in with this juicy wankplosion.


I'm calling shenanigans-this is bullshit. I thought there'd be RPers out there made of sterner stuff. I feel like everyone's reservations about the game aren't quite accurate; like they're fearing the worst and expecting so little. And what really gets me going: just because your character may die shouldn't turn you from a game, that's weak and lame. If people actually used their heads and weighed out the pros and cons (sure your character dies, but you get to make a new one, and equally cool character, it keeps the game fresh, etc) then I think we'd get a lot more response. OR if people were really as interested as they claimed we'd get a lot more emails asking questions and inquiring about the game so maybe they could REALLY find out if the game was for them. Kris you tried, this place shouldn't be called "bad_rpers_suck" it should be called "hypocrites_anon"

In case this wasn't enough, she also proclaims that fandom games require no skill.


Oh, and let it be known that I do have a general distates for fandom RPGs. You require no mastery to "create" a character. (I use "create" with poetic license.) It only shows how well you can interpret. And that's not a skill.

Now before you come barking at me, I didn't say all fandom RPers are bad, infact someone show a great mastery of the English language and creative writing.

Somebody takes this as a chance to bring up ancient history.

Small, piquant, but with room for growth.
