      Wanting to work to get your game running(better, it’s already running), but so many different RL priorities keep cropping to take your attention.

      And then you feel like you’re ignoring said game for not having enough time between priorities, work, sleep, etc.

      It’d be nice to have a free weekend at some point.

      I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

        @Jumpscare i’m gonna be real honest: i wouldn’t have accepted the second one, either.

        the lil bitch can’t just own up to talking shit and finding out.

        You’re right. And I know you’re right. If it were my community, he would have been long gone.

        Like @Testament and @GF said, “I have never lied in my life” was the moment I didn’t need to hear any more. He was trying to make the whole thing go away without addressing it.

        I think he won’t change. I think he’s going to get himself in trouble again. I think the only lesson he’s learned is to not get caught. Has he learned to be a good person? Probably not.

        lol who is this person, George Washington?

              This hasn’t even happened to me in at least a year, probably more, yet when I think about it happening it still makes me unreasonably annoyed.

              When you come into a scene that’s already going on and don’t wait for anyone to pose any kind of set, you just pose in lalala whatever with no regard for anything you might be walking into. One day that’s going to happen to me, and I’m going to pose back that the entire bar is flooded yet somehow the barstool you just sat on is also on fire. Because HOW HARD IS IT TO WAIT FOR A TINY FUCKING SETPOSE FOR GOD’S SAKE TURNS OUT THINGS ARE ALREADY HAPPENING IN HERE THAT AREN’T YOU.

                @ham I’d ask if the game has actions (or whatever the equivalent is - setting a message that describes what your character is doing for new people walk in)

                But what am I kidding? People don’t update those either, lol.

                  @Juniper And it’s a pain to be like, “oh, I’d better change my message from ‘is sitting at the bar’ to ‘is sitting at the bar but now the bartool is on fire ahhhh’ now”

                    The notion that a romantic partner to my character should be the person I spend the most time RPing with - 70% of it, apparently.

                    unsurprisingly my character is no longer in a relationship

                      What a nice specific number. Did they break down what you’re allowed to do with the other 30% of your time?!

                        @tsar we didn’t get to that point in the discussion, but they were kind enough to clarify that they only meant my RP time, not my time in general.

                          Please, it’s ok if you have to go AFK, but if it’s going to be like, an hour… let me know before hand if you could? That’d be swell.

                              @spiriferida one thing I don’t understand about that is – what do you rp about? If you’re always together?

                              as previously stated, good day.

                                    @farfalla my favorite long term romantic RP happened in a vacuum, it was very episodic with lots of emotional crisis and character flaws and injected drama from background characters and obstacles.

                                    But it was never ‘just with them’, we had other RP and stories we told with other people.

                                    And then it evolved into adventures and other stories and worlds and jumping into online places with other people and honestly I think I accrued many friends from that kind of start.

                                    My less favorites were from possessive partners that were like the original peeve. I don’t stick around for those types longer than a single scene, long enough for me to go ‘oh no not another one’.

                                        Honestly, this seems to be a common expectation. Not that exact number, obviously, but the idea that IC significant-others should be the priority in RP.

                                        I don’t like RPing with the same person over and over and over, I like to share the love as it were. So if I’ve already RP’d with someone that week (or so) then I don’t really like RPing with them again until I’ve had some scenes with others.

                                          My RP relationship peeve stems off this topic. While I surely cannot devote all my time to an IC relationship (definitely not 70%), I’ve recently been triggered by my need for monogamy and my settling for don’t ask don’t tell. My character mentioned this was such a great aspect of their relationship because she didn’t want to know of the other people, if there were other people, and the person my character was with literally replied with something like “you should meet them…” Only to then find out someone who triggered me on game earlier was still in the partner’s rotation of lovers.

                                          I basically told the player I couldn’t do this even if I enjoyed the story, even if I still thought they were very nice and had fun while it lasted. I was just so triggered. Now I’m hesitant to involve any character that deeply because I will feel guilty for not being on enough to satisfy the IC relationship needs of the other player. I know this sounds super messed up and it’s a very low self-esteem thing. It’s just a bad trigger. I want to be ‘cool’ and all monogamy is for the birds, but I would be lying to myself and the other person.

                                            @Birdie Something you said here kind of triggered me in a way.

                                            It’s ok to be monogamous. It doesn’t have to have anything to do with self-esteem. Some people are just not built for polygamy and that is perfectly ok. Don’t feel like you’ve done /anything/ wrong by not wanting to be in a polygamous relationship.

                                            Don’t ask, don’t tell, I don’t know if I could even go that far with some characters, and I know I couldn’t RL so please, don’t feel like you’ve done anything wrong.

                                            You set up a line, a boundary, and /they/ pushed it, broke it, and hop scotched right across it. That is not your fault, they disrespected your boundaries and your choices.

                                            Very not cool of them.
