RE: Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujoposted in Rough and Rowdy

@DapperPenguin Thank you. I think I needed to hear this. I can’t promise I’ll walk away yet, but… Ugh. I think I always suspected. And I let Cujo talk me out of my convictions, not once but twice. That’s very unlike me. Thanks for speaking up. I really appreciate it.
With everything you know, what exactly is keeping you there?
I have trouble believing that the game and stories and staff are THAT GREAT to keep playing at a place that makes you miserable and allegedly makes you give up your convictions.

( Is there any other threads that keep getting dug up every couple of months like this one?)
The Liberation thread gets dug up pretty regularly, but at a slower clip than this one.

RE: Other Peopleposted in Game Gab
I normally ask a lot of questions. If you’ve ever played with me, most of my chars ask endless questions. It’s the best way to engage with others and to have them flesh out their characters.
I rarely feel the need to win and OOCly cackle madly when the dice do NOT favor me. I try to be funny, but temper it to match the tone of the RP. I don’t mind failing.
I’m also a pure minion of chaos. This means, I’ll randomly decide things. No one can come up with an idea. I draw them to an area and decide surprise whatever. This normally is a what the actual eff. example I’ll swoon on a person to bring them into the scene. I try to keep an eye out for who doesn’t seem to be as engaged as others and ask them specific questions or include them. (Side note: I do this in life too).
When someone is excited to try to do a thing, instead of saying ‘my character wouldn’t do that’, I either come up with a reason WHY my char would do that. If I cannot for some reason, I direct them to a player/character I know WOULD do the thing.
I view all my RP as coming in to write a story that I don’t even know the ending of and I’m here to see how it flows. However, if people aren’t engaging and having fun, well then, I wouldn’t have anything to write.

Be Doing a Thing.
I think a lot of the reason people complain about non-action RP is that frequently people aren’t doing anything.
Fix a random household object. Be enthused about a piece of media. Lose something and rope other people into finding it. Make up a thing about a family NPC and talk about it. Gossip about A Thing That Happened IC. Don’t be purely passive, basically.

@Ashkuri said in Other People:
What do you do in your RP to make it fun for other people?
Well, in my RL / non-MU groups, I usually end up getting asked to run the thing, so for those, I do a lot.
On MUs, I try and make characters that aren’t spotlight hogs. Yeah, sometimes I might make a character that comes from a smaller faction in game or whatever, but I don’t make that the core conceit of the character, and I usually try and make my character act in supporting roles to the other characters.

More subjects I’m curious about in the MU RP community at large:
What do you do in your MU RP to make it fun for other people?
ETA “MU” rp specifically, as tabletop etc is another sort of craft I think

RE: Real Life Struggles/Support/Ventposted in No Escape from Reality
My work informed me today that they figured out how to deal with one of our major issues at work, and in doing so, are throwing work/life balance in the trash.
